I slap my forehead when he shrugs unapologetically.
“What…? Why? You did all that just to get me into bed?”
“No! Yes! I mean, no! When you stood in my office and handed me your resignation, all I could think of was that I couldn’t lose you. It wasn’t about sleeping with you, not entirely, although I think there was always a physical attraction between us.”
He quirks a brow questioningly, but I’m too floored to respond.
“Izzy, I just wanted to keep you close.” He grasps my shoulders. And looks into my eyes. “Was I attracted to you sexually? Hell, yes. Yes, I was…am.The cabin was a stall tactic. In the back of my mind, I hoped we could get close enough that I could convince you not to leave RJ Conglomerates.”
Okay, hold up. The man has just blown my mind, but I need to think rationally here.
“Cameron, none of that changes things. We are still from different worlds.”
“We’re not.” His jaw ticks again before he lets out a breath and runs a hand through his hair. It’s longer than I’ve ever seen it, and he has a couple of days’ worth of stubble on his chin. It looks good, but I’ve never seen him anything but clean-cut and immaculately groomed.
When he speaks again, his eyes bore into mine with an intensity that dares me to look away. “Even if we were from different worlds, I’d travel light-years to be with you. Whatever world you live in, Izzy, is the world I want to live in.”
Wow. I really—really—want to believe that. But I’m far too practical. I open my mouth to speak, but he places a finger over my lips.
“When you told me you were leaving RJ Conglomerates,I told myself the company couldn’t lose you. But over those five days in the cabin with you, it became so clear—Ican’t lose you. I’m in love with you, Izzy.”
I inhale sharply when he says that word.
“Yes, love. There, I said it. And I mean it. I love you Isadora—Izzy—Miller.”
Holy son of a biscuit-eating bulldog!
“W-what about Angelique?”
“Angelique? What about that blood-sucking viper?”
“Aren’t you married to her?”
“To Angelique?! Hell, no. Not in a million fucking years.”
“But I saw you kiss—”
“What you saw was not me kissing Angelique. It was her pulling her stupid antics and me rejecting her hard. Believe me, she’ll never pull something like that again.”
“Then who did you marry? I clearly heard the receptionist at RJ Conglomerates say the CEO and hiswife.”
“I gave up the company, Izzy. I’m not the CEO anymore. Geoffrey’s at the helm now.”
Geoffrey. ThemarriedCEO. Cameron’s not married. Not to Angelique or anyone.
“Why were you at RJ Conglomerates?” His mouth quirks in a cocky grin. “Please tell me you came to see me.”
Arrogant jerk. He knows I came to see him.
And now I have to break the news.
Carefully. Tactfully. Gently.
I’ve rehearsed this in front of the mirror no less than twenty times. I’m prepared.
I smile warmly, open my mouth, and blurt out, “I’m pregnant and you’re the baby daddy.”
Smooth, Izzy. Real smooth.
