“I decided I couldn’t spend another day in bed feeling sorry for myself. What Gonzo said last night resonated. None of this was my fault or yours. We have to find a way to move on and live with what happened.” She pulled back to look up at him. “Can you do that?”

“I’m trying, babe. I swear I am, but it’s just so hard to accept that someone in my life put you and your career in such danger.”

“I understand, and I have an idea of how that would feel if the roles had been reversed and Ezra had come for you. But I want us to try to get back to where we were before this happened, because where we were… It’s the best place I’ve ever been, and all I want is more of that.”

Cameron gazed at her sweet face, the most beautiful face he’d ever seen. “The first time I ever saw you, after I joined the squad, I felt like I’d been punched in the gut or something. In that single second, everything changed. I asked Cruz about you, and he said you’d had the same boyfriend since high school. I’ve never been more disappointed than I was in that moment, which was the same moment everything ended for me with Jaycee. It was never the same between us after I met you.”

“You’ve never told me that before,” she said softly.

He brushed the hair back from her face. “She knew something had changed, but she wasn’t sure what’d happened. I felt awful about it. I’d been with her for a year by then, and we’d had a good time. But I didn’t feel for her in a year what I felt for you in that single second.”

Gigi curled her arms around his neck and kissed him.

Cameron fell into the kiss as he lifted her into his arms and turned them to press her against the wall. Nothing in his life could compare to the bliss he’d found with her, and to have her back in his arms after fearing that might never happen again was like coming home to the place he was always meant to be.

She worked a hand between them and tugged at his belt.

He came to his senses long enough to realize what she was doing. “Gigi. Are you sure?”

“Yes. Please… I want you.”

That was all he needed to hear. He pulled at the button and zipper to his pants and had them down around his hips in a matter of seconds.

When she untied the silk robe, he discovered he’d been right. She had nothing on under it.

The sound that came from deep inside of him, part growl, part desperation, took them both by surprise.

Her soft giggle filled him with joy at realizing his Gigi was coming back to him.

He grasped her supple ass cheeks and lifted her onto his hard cock.

As they joined their bodies, Cameron breathed a sigh of relief. The feeling was so powerful it overwhelmed him. For days, he’d wondered if he’d ever love her like this again after the trauma of Jaycee’s assault. Witnessing her determination only made him love her more than he already did.

He had to count to one hundred in his head to keep from losing it too soon. Not before she found her pleasure. Never before her.

“Cameron,” she gasped. “Harder.”

Holy shit on a shingle.He already had no control where she was concerned, and then she said something like that.

Their climaxes were nothing short of explosive for both of them. His legs trembled, and the rest of him hummed with the ultimate satisfaction.

She pressed her lips to his neck, sending a jolt of sensation charging through him. “I love you so much.”

“I love you more.”

“No way.”

He held her tight against him as aftershocks had him hard again in a matter of seconds. “Yes way.”

A loud ding sounded. “Dinner’s ready.”

They lost it laughing, and Cameron relaxed for the first time in days. If they could still laugh and love, they would find a way through this nightmare.

After a dinnerof grilled cheese sandwiches for her sick kiddos, Sam joined them in the third-floor conservatory to watchIron Manfor the nine hundredth time, as it was the movie Alden always chose when it was his turn to pick.

“Maybe we could watch one of the otherIron Manmovies next time,” Scotty said as he snuggled with Skippy.

“I like this one,” Alden said of the original.
