I rock my hips, grinding against him, and Cam groans. His hands gripping my waist to guide my movements. The ridge of his erection presses against me, white hot need gathering low in my belly.

Our gazes lock, and the air around us seems to shift. Everything narrows down to this moment, this man. A wave of longing washes over me, and I realize with sudden clarity I’m in love with him.

The truth of it steals my breath. I’ve fallen hard for Cameron Bates, and there’s no going back.

Cam stills beneath me, searching my face. I wonder if he can see the depths of my feelings reflected in my eyes. After a long moment, he smiles—a smile so full of warmth and tenderness it makes my heart ache.

“I love you,” he says softly.

Joy bursts inside me, bright as the sun. I lean down to kiss him, pouring all my love and longing into it.

Our kiss deepens, fueled by love and passion. Cam’s hands travel over my body, setting my skin on fire. I rock against him, craving the delicious friction between us.

A loud moan escapes me as Cam kisses a path down my neck, nipping at my collarbone. I bury my face in his neck, breathing in his amazing scent.

“Aisha,” Cam groans. “You’re fucking killing me, baby.”

I lift my head to look at him. His eyes are dark with need, his breath coming out fast. The sight of him like this— undone, craving me—sends another rush of heat through my body.

I take his mouth again, kissing him hungrily. Our tongues slide together, tasting, teasing. When we break apart, Cam gazes up at me with so much love and longing that my heart aches.

“I fucking want you,” he growls. “All of you.”

“Yes,” I whisper. “God… please!”

A slow, wicked smile spreads across Cam’s face. He flips us over so quickly that it leaves me breathless, then his hands and mouth are everywhere—caressing, kissing, teasing. I moan as he worships my breasts.

We’ve wasted so many years fighting this, us. Now, I want to drown in Cam—lose myself in his embrace, in the love shining in his eyes. I want everything with this man, and it seems he wants to give me the world.

I wake up slowly, awareness returning in bits and pieces. The sound of waves lapping at the shore. Sunlight filtering through the window. The scent of Cam all around me.

A warm arm is resting across my waist, pulling me close against a hard, naked chest. I sigh in contentment, snuggling deeper into Cam’s embrace. Last night comes rushing back in a flood of memories and sensations that make me squirm.

We explored each other’s bodies for hours, learning what gave the other pleasure. By the time Cam finally slid inside me, we were both desperate with need. I’d never felt so full, so complete. And the way he looked at me, touching my face and whispering sweet words as we moved together…it was almost too much.

I’m happy, but also nervous about what happens now. This thing between us has been a long time coming, and there’s still so much we haven’t said. I don’t know where we stand or what the future may hold.

Still, I want to stay like this forever—wrapped up safe in Cam’s arms, with our hearts and bodies joined.

Chapter 6

CAM

What if she never remembers me? Us?

I pace the length of the room, fists clenched. Our future—the life we were building together—seems gone in an instant, shattered by a single incident.

Aisha lies in bed, chest rising and falling with each breath. Her curly hair fans out on the pillow in a dark halo. She’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.

“Baby, please remember us,” I whisper, dropping into the chair beside the bed. I take her hand, rubbing my thumb over her knuckles. “I love you so fucking much.”

The doctors keep telling me to be patient, that the memory loss should be temporary. But when Aisha looks at me, I see the truth in her gaze. She doesn’t remember how we went from being eternal rivals to lovers. Doesn’t remember the way I held her close at night and whispered sweet nothings in her ear.

How can I build a future with someone who can’t remember our past?
