‘Well, it’s well deserved.’ Jules looks at the clock on the bedside table and sighs, pushing sweaty hair off her face. ‘I should probably get back to my room, though. I’ve got my presentation tomorrow.’
‘Ah. Of course. What time do you speak?’
Cameron heads for the desk in his room, where his conference documents are organised in neat piles. Jules shamelessly watches his bare ass, thinking about running over and biting it.
‘Jules?’ Cameron lifts his gaze to her and Jules doesn’t even care she was caught ogling him. She can tell by his half-smile he doesn’t mind.
‘One pm.’
He checks the documents again. ‘I can come watch you,’ Cameron says.
‘Oh. Really?’ Jules sits up in the middle of the bed, not bothering to bring the sheet with her. Cameron’s attention drops to her bare breasts and as thoroughly debauched as she’s been already tonight, her core clenches. ‘You don’t have to. I know IT’s not really your area.’
‘True.’ His attention returns to her face. ‘But when you were telling my sisters about it the other day it was pretty interesting. You’re face actually lit up with excitement. Might be a nice change from all the marketing-focused ones anyway.’
Jules’s stomach wobbles happily. This definitely falls into the ‘supportive boyfriend’ side of the score sheet. Not that she’s keeping score.
Cameron returns to the bed, sitting against the headboard with his long legs stretched out atop the sheets. ‘Do you want to run through it with me tomorrow morning?’
‘That’d be awesome, actually. I haven’t had a chance to do it with an audience.’
Cameron grimaces and Jules laughs at the expression.
‘I know, I know,’ Jules says. ‘Your total nightmare. I’ve been a little distracted these past few days.’
‘Oh?
‘Yeah. Some really hot guy said he wanted to have a conference fling with me and he’s got the sexual appetite of a teen with a porn addiction.’
‘Oh, he does, does he?’ Cameron shifts to his knees, using his body to encourage Jules down onto her back while pressing kisses all over her skin.
Jules squirms beneath him, laughing until his mouth gets to her breasts and then sighing instead. She should actually go to her room, but Cameron’s naked and pressed against her. She can feel his dick hardening against her thigh and her insides set to tingling again. Her sexual voracity continues to surprise, and she spreads her legs for him to fit better.
The sex that follows is hot, of course, but it’s also fun. Has she ever had this much fun during sex? The answer comes quickly. No, she has not. Maybe some of that was on her, assuming that sex should always be sexy or sensual. Being spontaneous with Cameron is opening her mind to entirely new ways to enjoy herself and it’s only been two days.
Chapter 16
Cameron forgoes the gym again to do his morning run around Sydney Harbour and The Rocks. It’s quiet this early, the sun only beginning to rise, and the energy is different from last night when he was here with Jules. He sucks in lungfuls of air, tasting the salt of the ocean, and keeps his gaze focused up on the buildings and street signs he passes. Places he hasn’t been in a year that are as much a part of his past as the two-storey brick home he grew up in.
Passing the Lin & Luther offices, he jogs on the spot in front of the sandstone building, wondering if it’s worth setting an alert for any job listings from them, because it’s like night and day, comparing this to his morning jogs in Canberra. He’s actually got a smile on his face. He can feel it.
At the end of his loop he slows down, stopping at the end of Circular Quay to look out at the water as he stretches.
He nominated himself to attend the conference because he wanted the chance to prove to his old Cable colleagues he wasn’t the unprofessional asshole he appeared at the end of his time there. It wasn’t meant to be a homecoming, but as he stares at the water, feeling how steady his heartbeat is, that’s what it resembles.
He doesn’t want it to feel like this. He’s started a new life in Canberra. He’s got a good job, a good place, a good cafe around the corner. Sure, he never pictured himself there, but when he was looking for an escape, Steven had that connection at Infinity and a spare couch to crash on. It seemed fated.
Yet that pesky question shines through in the morning air, as clear as the sun reflecting off the water. Was leaving Sydney a mistake?

He ducks into a cafe on the way back to the hotel when he notices they’re selling meringues as big as his fist. Jules will probably appreciate one after her presentation. He grabs coffees and breakfast for them both so they can skip the buffet and he can enjoy her company without checking over his shoulder for people from Cable.
At the hotel, Cameron knocks on Jules’s door. His hair drips water down his back, but he needed to shower after his run. No way was he greeting Jules in his sweaty gym clothes. He may have rushed through the drying part, not wanting the coffees to get too cold. Keen to see Jules, too. It’s been, what, seven hours? And he had the urge to see her smile.
He shakes his head, sending droplets onto the carpeted corridor. These are dangerous urges he’s having.
The door opens, and there she is, still in pyjamas with her messy hair in waves over her shoulders, looking like a fantasy.
