Lia POV
I woke up and this time Cameron wasn't in bed. He probably had a meeting. I was glad for the space even though every part of my body missed him. His friends were very nice and I'm sure they cared for him which is why they made the impromptu meeting with him about our relationship. That I didn't mind. What bothered me was the information about him not wanting kids. I am still young myself and having kids is not directly on my to do list right now but I want them. I know I do and now I know he doesn't. His friends left the business to start families and that was apparently the last thing on his mind. Was I okay with that? I knew what it meant if I wasn't okay with it. It meant that just loving him wasn't enough to save us. That I had to let him go and he had to let me go. Something that Cameron is not too fond of. It will break us. I got up and went to shower. I didn't dare look at my phone. I didn't want to face the reality of everything today. I wanted to live my life as normal as possible that is until Eli decides to show up and ruin it all.
After about 20 minutes I stepped out the shower and I looked at my phone to see a call from an unknown number. My heart dropped. I turned my phone off and sighed. My towel wrapped tightly around me.
"Hey" I heard and I screamed dropping my phone
Familiar arms wrapped around me turning me to him and I looked at Cameron. My whole body shook and he pulled me into him.
"You're shaking love"He said picking me up and carrying me to the bed wrapping blankets around me. I was far from cold but his gentle touch and the look in his eyes made the shaking stop. His hand connected with my cheek and he wiped the tears that fell. "What's wrong?"
"I got an unknown call. It could be anyone. I overreacted. I'm sorry" I said and he shook his head
"Don't be, baby" He said "You have nothing to be sorry about."
I loved the gentle side of Cameron as much as the rough side. This was the side, the part that I knew would be the perfect father. The head of our family. But it wasn't enough for me to want that. He had to want it for himself.
"Where are you headed?" He asked
"To work. I have a shift soon." I said
He shook his head. "You're not going" He said
"What?" I asked
"You're not going Lia. I have meetings today and I can't be there to protect you."He said
I shook my head. "I won't give him that power over me again Cameron. I'm going to work." I said
"It's not about power Lia. It's about your safety. He is out right now. I had men on it but I have no clue where he is right now. What if he's at the bar as we speak?" Cameron said getting angry
"I can't let him control me with fear anymore Cam. If I do, I'm nothing. I'm that same little girl all those years ago that let him run my life." I said
"Lia-" He started
"No. My answer is final. I'm going" I said getting up from under the blankets and off the bed.
"I forbid it" He said and I stopped in my steps
I turned around to him. "You forbid it?" I asked angrily
"You heard me. You will not leave this house until I know where he is." Cameron said standing up and towering over me.
"Oh fuck you" I said and he seemed surprised
"Careful love" He said stepping closer to me "Because I will"
I was angry at the moment. My rage was at an all time high but I couldn't help the feeling of warmth coating my inner thighs. I hated this man with a passion but no my pussy loved him.
"So i'm a prisoner in this house." I said and he looked annoyed at my statement
"You're under my protection." He said
"You're no different than him." I said and his jaw clenched
His hand wrapped around my throat tightly.
"Might I remind you how different I am from him." He said pulling me into him. I felt how hard he was and with how angry he was he was ready to punish me for my words.I stood silent.
"By all means Lia give me one more fucking reason to tear into that wet pussy right now." He saidI felt my pussy throbbing at his words. There was something seriously wrong with me. He let me go and I stood there staring at him angrily.
"I fucking thought so. I'll call Al let him know you won't be in today." He said and walked out the room
I sat on the bed defeated. I know Cameron wasn't like Eli. I just hated the idea of hiding. Eli made me hide my sexuality my whole life up until a few years ago. I was tired of hiding and being shamed for wanting to live my own life. I knew Cameron's demands came from a place of concern and he didn't know how to express that. It was true Eli was out there and one slip up and he could take me again. Away from my job and my friends and this new life I built for myself. More importantly away from Cameron. He'd never tolerate Cameron in my life and although me and him are having our issues right now. Away from him was the last place I wanted to be even though he's being an insufferable asshole right now. I sighed and laid back in the bed. I was agitated, annoyed, and most notably, aroused. But that's what loving a man like Cameron Rossi did to a girl like me.
