Against All Odds

CHAPTER - 46

CAMERON

The lights in Elle's room were dim, casting soft shadows across her walls, and the quiet hum of the town outside made everything feel like it belonged to just us. We were lying on her bed, the world beyond these four walls no longer a concern. It's a quiet night, and I'm sitting on her bed, my heart pounding in my chest as I look into her deep brown eyes.

She laid beside me, her head resting lightly on my shoulder, her body curled into mine. Her hair, slightly tangled from the day, fell gently across her face, and I couldn't resist reaching out. I slowly tucked a few strands behind her ear, feeling the softness of her skin against my fingertips. The air was thick with tension and desire as we sat in silence, lost in each other's gaze.

"I've wanted to do this for so long." I said, my voice barely above a whisper.

She smiled, her full lips parting to reveal her perfect teeth. "Me too." She says, her voice soft and sultry.

I leaned in closer, my breath mingling with hers as I close the distance between us. I can feel the heat radiating off her body, and I know that she wants this as much as I do. I gently brushed my lips against hers, and she responded eagerly, parting her lips to allow my tongue to explore her mouth.

As we kiss, I let my hands wander, tracing the curve of her waist and the swell of her hips. I can feel her heart pounding in time with mine, and I know that she's just as turned on as I am. I slip my hand beneath her sweater, feeling the softness of her skin against my fingertips. She gasps as I touch her.

"Oh god, Cam." She moans, her voice husky with desire. "That feels so good."

I continue to touch her, my fingers teasing her bare skin as she arches her back, pressing her cool skin against my hand. I ran my hand down her arm, feeling the soft fabric of her sweater under my fingers, and her skin beneath that.

"Elle? Cameron?" Her dad's voice broke the moment, and we both shot up like guilty teenagers caught in the act. My heart raced, and I scrambled to sit upright while Elle quickly sat up, too, a little more graceful in her movement than I was.

Her dad stood in the doorway, looking mildly surprised to find us sitting so close. "Dinner was over an hour ago. What are you two up to?" He asked, eyes flicking between us. His voice was calm, but I could tell there was a question buried under the surface.

Elle quickly spoke up, standing from the bed. "We were just... talking, Dad." She said, brushing her hands down her sides like she was wiping away the awkwardness. "Cam was about to head to the guest room, right, Cam?"

I nodded, trying to smile but feeling a little stiff. "Yeah, just... catching up." I added, my voice sounding a bit too formal for the moment.

Her dad crossed his arms, but there was a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "Well, I've set up the guest room next to Liam's room. You should get some sleep—you've got a full day ahead tomorrow. No staying up too late."

I exchanged a quick glance with Elle, and I could see the subtle disappointment in her eyes, mirroring my own. "Of course, sir." I replied, standing up. "Thanks for setting that up."

Her dad gave a nod, still looking a little too amused. "Alright, then. I'll see you both in the morning. Goodnight."

He turned and left, closing the door behind him.

For a second, the room was completely still, and then I heard a small laugh escape from Elle's lips. I turned to her, unable to keep a grin off my face. "That was close."

"Too close." She agreed, shaking her head with a smile. "I thought for sure he knew what we were up to."

I laughed softly and moved towards the door. "Well, I guess I should go to the guest room—"
