The kiss was slow at first, with them trying to find the right rhythm, but when they did, it felt so right to River that she couldn’t stop herself from wanting more. Her hand moved to Kennedy’s waist, and when she went in search of a shirt that she could slide under, Kennedy laughed.
“I’m wearing a dress, babe,” Kennedy said.
River smiled with her lips still touching Kennedy’s.
“I’d love to take that off of you,” she said. “But not in my shop.”
“At least, not for the first time, right?” Kennedy asked.
River kissed her again, a little slower than the first time, and when the kiss ended naturally, she replied, “At least not until after we go on a real date.”
She pressed her lips to Kennedy’s forehead.
“I’d like that,” Kennedy replied, resting her face against River’s chest.
River wrapped her arms around Kennedy and held on to her. Kennedy did the same, and they stood like that for a long time, just holding on to one another.
Then, River sighed.
“Good sigh or bad sigh?” Kennedy asked.
“Very, very good sigh,” she replied and sighed in relief again.
CHAPTER 38
Cameron
“You’re moving?” Zane asked.
“Yes,” she replied.
“Where, exactly?”
“I have a rental lined up.”
“A rental? Why don’t you just buy?” he asked.
Cameron taped the box she’d been working on for the past ten minutes and said, “Because I don’t want to yet. I want to have time to look around and find what I want. I didn’t do that with this house as much as I should have.”
“You mean your mansion?”
Cameron rolled her eyes then and was grateful that her agent was on the phone and couldn’t see her.
“You just rolled your eyes at me, didn’t you?” he asked.
“How did you know?” she asked back.
“I could hear them roll through the phone.”
“Liar,” she replied with a little laugh. “I didn’t call you to talk about my move.”
“I figured. But I still need to know this stuff,” he said. “Wait. I do, don’t I?”
“You talked to Kennedy, right?”
“Yes, but she told me you two were being civil and that I wouldn’t have to parent trap this situation.”
Cameron laughed and sat on the floor.
