His lips trail down my neck, sending shivers all over. "I love looking at you," he breathes, brushing the hair off my shoulders. "Will you let me?"
My wild heart seeks his. "Yes."
For a long moment, I just feel his gaze. Then, his hands. They skim d...

NOAH
Cam's smile blooms, then falters under the weight of itself. Just for a second, she looks startled by wanting me. We're in new territory. I feel it in every place I'm trying to stay careful. She's warm in my lap, wrapped in a towel, trusting me with more than skin.
My breath catches in my throat as I take her in—her eyes bright and fierce, her cheeks flushed, her lips swollen from our kisses.
I slide my hands down her sides, to her hips, guiding her as she presses down against me. "No proving anything. I love you. That's all there is."
She lets out a low, breathy sound, rolling her hips against me again, watching my reaction with dark, hooded eyes. "I'm not wearing any clothes."
"Fuck, Cam," I breathe, and have to close my eyes for a second.
"Should I take the towel off?"
"What?"
"Pay attention," she snaps, rolling her hips over mine.
"I'm glad John's not here," I breathe out.
She laughs. I swallow it with a deep kiss that has her limp in my hands. She melts into me, her laughter swallowed by our kiss, but I can still feel the tremor of it in her body. I pull back just enough to catch my breath, my forehead resting against hers.
Her smile is a little crooked, a little tired, but it's real, and it's beautiful. She shifts a little, her fingers tracing patterns on my chest. I feel the pressure ease, the tension ebb. But I'm still hard as granite and she's still wrapped barely in a towel on my lap.
"You really think I can do this? Meet your family, be... part of all that?"
"You just have to survive the initial greeting. They're like a pack of wild dogs."
"Should I bring Charlie?"
I think about that. Mabel and Azi will go nuts, but hell, I think even Dayo will like the little guy.
"Damn right," I tell her. "Charlie's family."
Her bottom lip wavers slightly. "I don't know what to do about him, Noah. Our rental doesn't allow pets. I can't even sneak him in because Maddie's allergic and she'll tell Mrs. Bucket."
I purse my lips together. "What was that?"
"What?"
"Mrs...Bucket?"
She pinches my side again. "This is serious! I don't know what to do!"
A small laugh breaks through and I try to muffle it as a cough. She pinches me again. "I love you so much it scares me."
