“I couldn’t take the chance,” he breathed, cupping my cheek with his hand. I nuzzled into it, relaxing into his hold.
But he didn’t kiss me. Not yet. It wasn’t midnight, I supposed. Still, I wanted him to kiss me now, the greedy little thing that I was. It had been almost two weeks since he’d touched me, and my body was starved for him.
Cam set me back onto my feet, stepping back to drag his eyes down every inch of my body. “I like this,” he said, plucking at the strap of my glitzy party dress.
I shivered as he traced the same finger over my collarbone and then down my shoulder.
“Are you cold?”
“No,” I murmured, feeling flushed with heat, despite the cool air kissing my skin.
He ran his fingers through my hair, toying with the ends. “You wore it down.”
I’d loosely curled it, wanting to feel pretty for tonight, even though I played with my hair way too much when I left it down.
Nodding, I bit my lip. “I was going to FaceTime you later, and I know you like it like this, so…” I looked away, hoping I could hide the embarrassment that always found its way to my cheeks around him.
“You were going to call me?” He asked, a puzzled expression on his face.
“Well, yeah. It’s New Year’s Eve, and you’re my boyfriend, so…” I quirked an eyebrow. “Who else would I call?”
Cam’s face formed into a pout, and I rubbed my thumb over the lines. “What?”
“You haven’t.” He cleared his throat. “Called me, I mean.”
“I didn’t…”I didn’t know you’d wanted me to call, is what Ialmost said. I hadn’t expected him to react like this. “Did you want me to?”
Because I’d wanted to. I just hadn’t wanted to seem clingy.
He curled his arms around my waist, tugging our bodies until they were flush together, and rested his head in between my breasts. “Of course I wanted you to,” he said, not raising his head. “I missed you.”
“But we were texting every day, and you didn’t say anything, so…”
“Because I was trying so fucking hard, Ella. Not to ask you what you were wearing. Not to see if you were in my shirt. If you had put those little fingers inside your pretty pink cunt, pretending they were mine.” He gave a groan of exacerbation. “I was trying to control myself.”
“Oh.” If I hadn’t been blushing before, I definitely was now. “I would have shown you,” I said, barely audible. If it wasn’t for how close we were standing, he wouldn’t have heard me.
“Ella,” he groaned. “Princess. Are you trying to kill me?”
I looked down at his slacks, the outline of his erection showing.
Did you?I wanted to ask, but I thought I knew the answer.
“How’d you know I was here, anyway?” I raised an eyebrow.
He grinned. “Audrey.”
“Oh.” The heat ran to my face. “What’d she say?” I would kill her if I found out she’d told Cam I was lonely and missing him. Even if I was.
“Nothing.” He kissed my forehead. “Told her I needed to see my girl. She told me where to find you.”
“Mmm.” I gripped his lapel tighter, holding our bodies together as his grip tightened on my waist. “Cam?”
“Yeah?”
“You still haven’t kissed me, you know.”
He laughed. “Impatient, hm?” He glanced down at his watch. “There’s still five minutes until midnight, Princess.”
