Captivated

Chapter Twenty

"He nipped at her neck softly so that he didn't leave any marks as he kissed his way up to her ear biting it lightly before taking it into his mouth and sucking gently. She moaned trying to grind against him, to have any kind of contact, but to no avail as he held her firmly against the door. He lifted both hands above her head and clasped both wrists in one of his hands to keep her in place. He took her dress in the other hand and pulled the fabric down so that it bunched at her waist leaving her chest exposed to the air. She writhed against his hold as the cold caused her nipples to perk up standing pink and firm and plump. "

The rapturous knock at the door pulled me from the novel I'd been reading, startling me to my core. I had gotten so into the romance novel that I'd lost track of time. "Come in" I called placing the book face down on my bed and adjusting my body to sit up. Cameron walked through the door his frame encompassing the entrance as he looked at me with those beautiful piercing eyes.

"Walk with me" he states and even though it seems like it's a question, I know it isn't negotiable. I rise up with a sigh and slip my shoes on grabbing a light sweater to cover myself with as I move to stand with him. I can smell him when were this close and its almost intoxicating. He moves without a word heading down the hall and I follow in silence, watching him as he goes. The way his hips rock, how his back bulges under the shirt, I quickly suppress the admiration.

"Where are we going?" I ask picking up my pace so that im beside him, my arms crossed across my chest, hugging myself as I try not to think about this morning in the gym.

"The garden" he mumbles leading me down the stairs and across the lobby. I can see people staring, watching me closely and wondering what was happening. It isn't often that Cameron summons me during his work hours, either someone is hurt or something serious has happened and we all know that's why he asks me to come with him. 

"Makes two of us" I think to myself following him as closely as I can without being to close. He leads me outside and slows down to match his pace with mine as my shoes click against the stone path that moves through the gardens like water. The sun is warm and high, and it beats down on me, the black sweater quickly absorbing the warmth as we walk. "Is something wrong" I ask aloud pondering to myself what could have brought on this afternoon walk.

"Yes" he mumbles with a small smile to me as we walk, passing large flowers in bloom, trees, shrubs and all other botanical beauties. I smile to myself a little as I stop to smell some roses. It might like business but I know its more than that, he would have sent Dante or Nadia to me, not asked me to walk with him through the garden. Its nice and I cant help but smile broader as I feel him quietly moving around behind me.

We move silently towards the fountain and I find myself basking in the sun, and in his company as strange as it was. So much had changed over the last few months, I knew it and I prayed that he didn't because I hated these feelings. These people had grown on me and I was feeling more and more at home everyday which frightened me more than anything else.

"Here" Cameron said handing me one of the roses id been smelling, cut half way down the stem and shinning beautifully.

"Thank you" I muse taking it in my hand gently. Smiling I glide down onto the edge of the fountain sitting very still, patiently waiting for an explanation from him. I watch as he sits down beside me, his eyes stdying mine very closely. He sits so close I can smell his soap and feel his breathing as he watches me, our eyes unmoving from esch other.

"The call" he says with a strange flash in his eyes as he looks out over the vallys behind the manor, surveying the area. It really is beautiful here, id noticed it a million times before but it still catches my breath everytime. The afternnon sun is casting a warm glow on the green grass and rolling hills. Illuminating everything in a beautiful serene view that reminds me of paintings and books and stories of happily ever afters.
