Cameron seemed to take that as a disapproving look, though. “Sorry. I will, I just didn’t want to disturb him if he’s resting.” He took his phone out and tapped out a text. A few seconds later a reply buzzed in. “He says he’s fine. He enjoyed his dinner, he’s watching TV, and he’s heading home in the morning.”
Piper smiled, glad to know he was okay. “Good.” She went to the dresser and touched the roses he’d sent her. “Thanks for these. You made my day.”
“I’m glad you liked them.”
“I love them. No one’s ever sent me roses before. It’s a first” She couldn’t figure out the look on his face. For a moment, she wondered if he looked so uncomfortable because she sure as hell wasn’t the first girl he’d sent roses to. No. She had to get past that. He was a sweet guy.
“Did you decide what you’d like to do this weekend?” he asked.
She smiled. She wanted him to make love to her again—and soon—but that wasn’t what he was asking about. He was trying to make conversation before they went there. “I thought we could take a boat out again; that was fun, and I checked with Lily, and we could go horseback riding if you want.” The look on his face said that might not be his favorite option. “Or we could go four-wheeling in the mountains.”
He nodded.
“There is one more thing I want to do if you wouldn’t mind.”
“What’s that?”
“I’ve looked at a few houses this week, but I still haven’t found anywhere I’d like to rent. Austin, the realtor, called me earlier to say there’s one just been listed, and I can go see it tomorrow.”
“Great. What time? I can make myself scarce while you go do that.”
“I was hoping you’d come with me.” She smiled. “Point out any downsides that I don’t see.”
“Of course, I’d love to. I just didn’t want to assume.”
“No, I’d appreciate it. Some of the places I’ve seen this week might have been fine, but I wasn’t one hundred percent about any of them, and it’s hard to decide without bouncing the ideas off anyone first.”
He nodded. “Absolutely. I’d love to look at it with you, and I’d be happy to go back to any of the others, too, if you want a second opinion before you decide.”
“Thanks. That’d be great. How about I tell Austin we’ll meet him at ten? Then we can still go and do something fun in the afternoon.”
“Sounds like a plan to me.”
After she’d texted Austin, Cameron came toward her. He put his hands on her shoulders and looked down into her eyes. “Do you want to go back down to the bar for a drink?”
A shiver ran down her spine at the nearness of him. His hands were so warm on her shoulders, and that warmth spread through her, settling low in her belly. She shook her head. Leaving this room was the last thing she wanted to do right now.
He rested his forehead against hers and smiled. “I may have a problem, then.”
“What?”
He slid his hands down her sides and then closed his arms around her, pulling her to him. “If we stay here, I don’t think I can be held responsible for what I might do.”
“Ooh. I like the sound of that.”
“You do?”
She nodded and ran her hands over his chest. “I don’t think I can be held responsible for what I might do, either.”
In a matter of second, their clothes lay in a pile at their feet. She had no clue how they’d disappeared so fast, but she was grateful they had. She drank in the sight of his muscular naked body and ran her tongue over her bottom lip. He was amazing!
“Do you have any idea what you do to me?” he asked.
She shook her head. She couldn’t focus on anything other than what he was doing to her. His hands were moving over her, leaving trails of goose bumps in their wake. She shivered as they cupped her ass. “More than a handful’s a waste,” she blurted out. Why in God’s name had she said that? Maybe because she was so embarrassed that was so much more than a handful going to waste. He might have big hands, but her ass was more than ample.
He pulled her against him and let out a long deep breath. “Why do you say stuff like that?”
She chuckled. “Maybe because I’m trying to jolt you out of the moment and bring you back to your senses?”
