Old Money - Rafe Cameron

*Chapter 62

Rafe was there that night, like she told herself, but her decision was still floating in the air. She spent the day with Sarah, at her house. Rafe had been coming and going all day.

They spent much of the afternoon by the pool, swimming, tanning, drinking casually.

But the night came and Audrey still hadn't made a decision.

"I'm fucking exhausted." Audrey sighed, laying in a chaise and staring at the darkening sky. "All this shit with your brother is tiring me out."

"Then go to bed. Sleep it off." Sarah offered.

Audrey could sleep it off, or she could stay right in that chair where she could hear Rafe grunting from the Cameron's exercise room.

Her phone had been going off all day, and she'd been ignoring it all day. If she got one more text from Josh she was going to throw her phone in the pool.

Audrey should've been listening to Sarah talking. But it was so difficult when something very important was happening to her.

All she wanted was to be alone. With her vibrator... She couldn't stop thinking about it upstairs in her purse.

Against her will, Rafe walked out of the workout room and to the sliding doors into the house. Audrey caught a glance of him, scrubbing his forearm over his hair, leaving it haphazard. It was very difficult to tear her eyes away from the muscles that flexed even as he opened the door. Back muscles. Because he was shirtless.

God, she was so easily distracted.

She'd been staring at the door long enough to watch it slide back open. He came back out with some sort of energy drink, his eyes laughing at the way she was gaping at him.

Redness had started in her chest and risen up her neck and to her ears. Small beads of sweat on her forehead. Pulse going a mile a minute.

The second he was out of her sight, she shot up from her chair and muttered something to Sarah about where she was going. She didn't know what she told her, she didn't even know where she was going.

The only thing she knew was that she needed her purse.

She was panting the way up the stairs. Panting.

She beelined for Sarah's room and snatched her purse. She knew she couldn't do this in Sarah's room. Carefully, she shook as she shut the bathroom door, digging through her purse and sticking the device down in her bathing suit bottoms.

"Calm down." She whispered to herself.

She was too unsteady to even place the vibrator properly on her clit, her hands shaking as the vibrations shot through her body.

His footsteps came up the stairs.

No... no, no, no, no, no. She mouthed.

"Audrey." Rafe said simply from the other side of the door. "You okay?"

"I'm fine." She squeaked.

A beat passed. Several beats, actually.

"I heard your vibrator, Audrey."

"Oh my god." She whispered.

He chuckled. "If you're done ignoring this, you can let me in."

"Why?"

"Audrey."

Audrey.

She hated that. It was so knowing of him.

Her back was leaning against the counter, hand pressed to her heart to try to get it to stop beating so fucking fast.

The doorknob turned and she stepped back from it, her breath hitching at the sight of Rafe. Shirtless, sweating.
