He stood up from the tub and held his wet hand out for me, so I slid into the bathroom and closed the door.
“Where’s Audrey? And Hudson?” I asked as I took his hand.
“Audrey’s already asleep, and Hudson is in his room finalizing some plans we worked out today.”
“Wait, Audrey’s already asleep?”
“It’s almost ten o’clock.”
He chuckled as his hands began to remove my clothes. He slipped them over my head and down my body, kissing my skin as he revealed it. So many emotions rushed through my system, but the one I kept coming around to was the happiness that filled my soul whenever I was around Cameron. My storming off had worried him, and it had put me in danger I now understood was greater than I’d realized. I needed to do a better job of controlling my emotions when I got overwhelmed.
“I’m sorry,” I said.
“Enough with that. Come on. Let’s get you relaxed.”
He slipped his boxers off, and my eyes fell along his form. He scooped me up into his arms and cradled me close before stepping into his massive sunken-in bathtub. He spread his legs to accommodate my body, and I leaned into him, taking in the warm water that surrounded us. He cupped his hands and dripped water over my shoulders, massaging my neck as my hands slid up and down his legs.
I sighed and closed my eyes, leaning up so he could reach more of my back.
“Hudson thinks the best route to take is to bait them while they’re here,” Cameron said.
“What do you mean ‘bait them’?”
“Lure them out of their hiding place somehow.”
“That doesn't sound very safe to me,” I said.
“He says the issue with these guysis that you have to catch them in the act. If we put too many tails on them, they’ll get spooked and do one of two things. They’ll either go back underground and find another time to strike, or they’ll strike too soon, and a lot of innocent people could get hurt in the process.”
“So what’s the plan?” I asked.
I groaned when Cameron’s fingers sank into my lower back.
“I told him using any of us was off-limits, so Hudson’s making some phone calls and pulling some strings. He thinks he can concoct a diversion or something in town that’ll make it seem like we’re one place when really we’re in another.”
He removed his hands, and I relaxed into his rock-hard chest as he wrapped his arms around me.
“Thank you for talking with me about all this,” I said.
“I shouldn’t have tried to keep you in the dark in the first place.”
“No. You shouldn’t have, but that doesn't mean we can’t do better going forward.”
His lips dropped to my shoulder and pressed a small kiss into my skin. “Lavender suits you,” he said.
I felt his hips roll against my back as a smile crossed my face.
“I think it suits both of us.” I stroked his thighs with my hands as heat began to build between my legs.
“Don’t run away from me again,” he said as he kissed my neck. “There’s so much out there that could harm you, Heather. Had something happened to you, I don’t know what I would’ve done.”
His hands fell to my stomach, cupping it before he palmed my pussy.
“I’m sorry,” I said breathlessly. “I was angry. And frustrated.”
“Let me protect you. Let me do what I do best.”
His fingers parted my folds before he pressed the pads of them into my clit.
