"Oh, yes."

Cami's eyes were squeezed shut, her mouth parted as slow, deep breaths were released. "God, I really needed this."

"Feels good?" I asked, barely holding back my own moan.

"Mmm," she hummed happily. "It feels amazing."

I knelt beside the tub and reached for her hand. She winced when I accidentally brushed my thumb over her knuckle in my effort to submerge her hand into the bucket of ice I had just arrived with. "Sorry, baby."

Her eyes flew open as I stood. "You sure you can't join me?"

"Ummm..." I began as my eyes ran over her bubble-covered body. Cami arched her back, bringing her buoyant breasts to the surface and causing her nipples to harden from the cool air. "I should...go."

Fuck. I told Sara I'd be back in 30 minutes and I had already been gone an hour. Cami blinked up at me with pouty lips and lustful eyes. "There's room for two," she suggested naughtily. I could see the way she was rubbing her thighs together. Fuckkkk.

"I wish I could stay." I was gripping the towel bar in some sort of effort to keep my clothes on and not join her.

"Kiss me?"

I sighed deeply. Such an innocent request, but not so much in this case. I nodded slowly and held each side of the tub as I dipped my head and caught her lips with mine. I nearly jumped when I felt her wet hand slide up under the bottom of my shorts and grip me once before releasing me. I pulled away, giving her a stern look. "Bye," she replied quietly, sinking back under the mountain of bubbles.

I grabbed her chin and planted one more wet kiss on her lips before I forced myself out of the room.

Once I made it through the crowd outside, I rushed to our station and avoided a confrontation with Sara by grabbing a mike and starting right in with my presentation. I didn't miss the glares I was getting from her as I continued to show how the equipment worked and sell my ass off.

It wasn't easy to concentrate on the pitch when I knew what I had left upstairs. I tried not to think about how that slimy bastard had touched my girl. He had a lot of nerve trying to humiliate her in front of all those people. I was just relieved to see him get what he deserved.

The sun was blazing and I was ready to be done. When I pulled my shirt over my head and used it to mop the sweat away, I noticed how the women responded. All I could do was laugh. The only girl's attention I craved was Cami's.

"How nice of you to come back," Sara grumbled at the end as she handed me a bottle of water.

"Oh give me a break," I huffed. "So I took a break. So what? I had to make sure Cami was okay."

"Cami?" she scoffed. "I don't understand why you even brought her here, Chance. You knew how important this conference was to the future of the club."

I was fuming. "And I've done everything you've asked me to. Don't act like I've been fucking off all weekend. This demo wasn't even part of the deal and I still did it so back off!"

Her eyes widened at my harsh tone. "I'm sorry," Sara sighed. "I guess you're right. Mr. Charles loved what you did." She glanced over her shoulder where his employees had a table swamped with prospective buyers. "I'd say you definitely earned that free equipment, Chance."

"Great," I replied less than enthusiastically. "Mission accomplished then."

She nodded and hummed as she eyed me carefully. "I'd say this is cause for celebration."

"I can't."

Sara rushed to catch up to me as I sped away from her. I know how persuasive she can be and there was no way I was gonna let her screw up my plans tonight. When I arrived at the elevator bank, she sidled up beside me, linking her arm in mine. "Let me treat you to dinner," she urged, biting on her lower lip as she awaited my response.

"No."

"Chance," Sara whined as I pulled out of her grip and escaped into the elevator.

"We can go anywhere you want," she countered hopefully.

"I have plans tonight."

"With Cami?" she sneered. I just glared at her and shook my head. "How sweet of you. Is this a date?"

We stepped out onto our floor together and I couldn't get away from her fast enough. "Come on, Chance."

I whirled around to face her as we stopped in front of my room. "Give it up, Sara. I'm going out with Cami tonight. And that's final."

"I thought she was just your roommate," she shrugged. "I mean have you seen you?" she chuckled. "You could have anyone you want. You don't have to settle for..."

"Cami," I blurted when the door swung open and I saw her standing there. I watched as her eyes darted between me and Sara and then to Sara's hand as it lay pressed against the center of my chest.

She blinked a few times, the shock on her face was evident. Her hair was wavy and wild, her body covered in nothing but a short, thin, cotton robe and her face was scrubbed clean and free of make-up. Absolutely gorgeous. I could almost feel her retreating back into her shell before her face brightened and leaned up to kiss my neck. "There you are," she purred.

I hummed as her arms slid around my midsection and she tucked herself into my side. Cami peered up at me and murmured, "I missed you, baby. I've been waiting for you."

Sara watched the exchange between us and turned her nose up a bit. "I was just inviting Chance to a celebration dinner with me. You don't mind, do you?"

Cami hummed and smoothed her hand down my chest, stopping at my waistband and twirling the strings of my shorts between her fingers. "Oh I'm pretty sure Chance made reservations for us tonight. Isn't that right?"

"Yeah," I beamed, totally turned on by her possessiveness of me. God, how sexy. "I promised her the best meal Seattle has to offer."

Sara's face fell when Cami pushed up on her tiptoes to nibble on my earlobe and whispered in my ear, "Can't this bitch take a hint?"

"I guess we'll see you in the morning?" I offered Sara as Cami began dragging me into the hotel room.

"Yeah..." she sighed. "Bright and early, huh?"

Cami furrowed her brow, her arms still wrapped around me tightly. "We may not make it," she replied to Sara. Cami cupped her hand around her mouth and stage whispered, "He's gonna be really tired when I get done with him."

Sara's mouth formed a perfect O as she glanced between us. "Oh...okay," she finally sputtered.

"Bye, Tara!" Cami sang before slamming the door in her face.

I broke out in a fit of laughter as I fell against the back of the door. "Damn, baby. That was hot!"

Cami simply scowled at me and shook her head. "Glad you liked my performance," she grumbled with an eye roll.

"Your jealousy was hot and such a fucking turn on," I retorted as she walked away from me, settling on the end of the bed.

"Whatever," she scoffed. "What was your plan? Bring her in here and do her on our bed?"

"You're mad?"

Cami lowered her head and shrugged. "I can't stop you from doing what you want, Chance. You're not really my boyfriend."

My chest ached painfully when she said that. I stood in front of her and held her face in my hands. When she finally looked up at me, I shook my head. "You're all I want, Cami. Just you. No one else. Try to remember that."

I pressed my lips to her forehead, kissing her softly and drinking in the smell of her skin as it surrounded me. "We have reservations for 8. You can take a nap if you want."

I pulled back and smiled down at her before retreating to the bathroom for a much needed shower.

....

When I walked back into the room, it was dark and Cami snuggled up on her side, sound asleep. I pulled on a striped pair of boxer briefs and climbed into bed beside her. We still had another hour before we needed to get ready, so I decided to let her sleep.

I was nearly asleep, stretched out on my back, hands behind my head when Cami rolled over and curled her body around mine. She wrapped her arm around my waist and buried her face in my neck. "I'm sorry," she whispered, her voice choking with tears.

I stayed quiet as she squeezed me tighter, little sniffles and whimpers coming from her throat as she tried to speak. "Of course I was jealous. And you're all I want too."

I felt her finger trace my lips as she leaned back and studied my face. "I'm always gonna wish you were mine," she admitted so softly, I wasn't sure I heard her right.

When Cami tried to move away from me, I drew her into my arms and rolled us over. She blinked her stray tears away as I hovered over her, suddenly aware of how naked she was beneath me. I stared into her eyes and kissed my way down her body, between her breasts and ending near her belly button. I brushed my lips back and forth across her stomach a few times before settling my cheek on her bare skin.

Cami was holding her breath, probably awaiting my next move, but this is all I wanted. I didn't wanna talk about anything, I just wanted to feel her under me. I reached for her hand and pulled it to rest on my head. Soon she was sifting her fingers through my hair and I was drifting off to sleep.

....

I woke up on my stomach, in the same position I fell asleep in, but Cami wasn't under me. I stretched out my arms and reached for her, but there was nothing there. "Baby," I called out blindly into the darkened room.

"I'm here," I heard her sweet voice call to me from across the room.

I rolled out of bed and padded over to her as she sat at the small table near the window and applied her make-up in front of a lighted mirror. I stood behind her, gathering her hair in my hands and lifting it, so I could press a kiss to the nape of her neck. I peeked at her reflection in the mirror and enjoyed her hooded gaze. She was turned on.

"It's almost 7," she murmured as she lined her eyes with a black pencil. "You better get ready."

I rotated around to sit in the chair near her. I watched as she brushed some powder on her eyelids and noticed the way it sparkled when it caught the light. "Is this what you're wearing?" I teased, ghosting my fingers over her bra strap and then lowering my hand to cup her breast through the lace.

"Stop," Cami laughed, brushing my hand away. "I have a dress picked out, but I don't know..."

Her forehead was creasing with worry. "You're thinking too much. Just go for it."

She smiled brightly and nodded. "What about you? Jeans and t-shirt?"

I stood and buried my hand in her hair, kissing her temple and walking away. "You'll see soon enough."

I grabbed my garment bag from the closet and disappeared into the bathroom so I could finish getting ready. I didn't need to do much since I had showered earlier, but my hair was unruly and I needed to brush my teeth. I got dressed, sprayed on a bit of cologne, and gave my hair one more look before I pulled the bathroom door open.

I sauntered into our room with my chest puffed up in pride. I looked good and I knew it, but I wasn't prepared for how Cami looked. She had her back to me with one foot propped up on the chair as she fiddled with the strap of her high heels.

She turned to face me slowly, smoothing down her dress before her eyes caught mine. Her dress was short and black with little cutouts on the sides of her waist. All I could think about was how I'd be touching those bare parts of her waist every chance I got. There was a sheer panel covering her breasts and it was obvious she wasn't wearing a bra.

"Please tell me you're not wearing those stupid stickers on your tits again?" I teased as she approached me slowly.

"No," she laughed. "No pasties tonight."

"You look gorgeous," I blurted out. "God, I love this dress on you."

Cami gave me a shy smile and shrugged, "It's just a dress."

"I don't give a fuck," I grinned. "You look so sexy maybe we should skip dinner."

"No way," she protested playfully when I held her in my arms and drew her sinful body close to mine. "I can't get over you wearing a suit," she sighed.

I turned her body and posed us in front of the full length mirror in our room. "Look how good we look together, Cami." I leaned down and nuzzled my nose into her hair. "And you smell good enough to eat," I mumbled while nipping at her earlobe.

Cami released a small whimper as I trailed my kisses down the side of her neck. "So fucking sexy."

I pulled away with a growl and stood behind her, using my hand to cup her cheek and force her to see our reflection in the mirror. "We look perfect together, Cami. So don't ever tell me you don't know what I see in you. You're a knockout on the outside and you've got the kindest heart. That's a killer combo in my book."

Cami caught my gaze in the mirror and beamed up at me. She twirled around to face me, grabbing my cheeks and pulling my mouth down to hers. "I love..." she began before a blush overtook her entire face. "I love the way you see me."

I smoothed her hair down with both hands and then pressed them to the small of her back, jerking her close to me. "And I love everything about you."

....

A half hour later, we were pulling up to the restaurant I had made reservations at. I walked around to the passenger side to open Cami's door, loving the look on her face when she looked up at the building before her.

"Aqua?" she murmured. "This looks so fancy."

I wrapped my arm around my girl and smiled brightly. "Only the best for you."

The location was impressive. I wanted something with a fantastic view and this was it. Perfectly placed on the boardwalk overlooking Elliott bay, it was breathtaking. The sunset was lighting up the sky with pinks and oranges and the only thing prettier was the girl on my arm.

"I have a reservation for two...under Connor," I told the young woman at the podium when we entered the building.

She scanned her tablet and nodded, "Right this way, sir."

I wrapped my arm around Cami and held her tightly against me as we wove between the tables and made our way to glass patio doors at the rear of the restaurant. "Everyone is staring," Cami whispered nervously.

"They're staring at me."

"Oh."

"It's because they're jealous of my sexy as fuck date," I grinned stupidly.

Cami rolled her eyes at my playfulness and it was all I could do not kiss the hell out of her with the whole restaurant watching. I saw how Cami's face lit up when the hostess led us out onto the deserted patio to a table for two, flanked by two small fire pits. "Does this table suit you, sir?" the hostess inquired.

"Yeah. It does." I paused to glance at Cami. "What do you think, baby? Is this good for you?"

She leaned into me, squeezing me hard before replying, "It's perfect."

I held Cami's chair out for her and took a wine selection list from the hostess before we were finally alone. "I can't get over how beautiful this is," Cami gushed as she reached over and squeezed my hand.

I lifted her hand to my lips and kissed her bruised knuckles. "Beautiful is right."

Cami looked away from the sparkling waves and tilted her head at me. "I meant this view."

"I meant this girl," I replied quickly, pressing kisses to her wrist and up her arm until the waiter appeared and cleared his throat.

"Have we decided on something to drink?"

"I'll take a scotch," I told him before turning my attention back to Cami. "And do you want some wine tonight?" I asked as I passed her the wine list.

"Ummm..." she stammered, her eyes going wide and she scanned the list. "Maybe just a nice Pinot? A glass will be fine."

"Bring a bottle." The waiter scurried off as Cami leaned in close to me.

"That's $60, Chance! It's too much."

"No it's not," I chuckled, sipping my water. "You can have anything you want tonight."

Cami ignored my suggestive tone and glanced around nervously. "Why are we the only ones out here?"

I reached down and slid my hand under her knees, angling her legs to drape over one of mine. She began focusing on me again when my hand started caressing her calves. "I requested it. I just wanted you all to myself. Now decide on what you want to eat so I can get rid of the waiter and enjoy my time with you."

Cami forced a small smile and reached for her menu. Once again, she was wary of the high prices and her face let that show. "Order anything you want. The money is not a big deal," I reassured her as she opened her mouth to argue once more.

"But Chance..."

"But nothing! Get anything your little heart desires. I'm fully aware of the costs."

Cami snapped her menu closed and shook her head. "I can't let you spend your hard-earned money on one meal. Not when you've paid for everything so far."

I leaned in close to her and held her jaw in my hand. "I've barely spent anything. This trip was paid for by my job, the hotel and I'm even getting reimbursed for gas so stop, okay?"

When Cami pulled my hand from her face and held it with both of her hands, I sighed. "I just think there's better things to spend your money on than me."

The waiter reappeared with the wine and my scotch. I gave him a curt nod after he poured her glass of wine, knowing it might take some convincing to get her to drink it.

"Here, baby," I offered her the glass. "You should taste this."

She huffed for a bit and then took a sip. "It's good," she finally conceded. "But not $60 good."

Now it was my turn to roll my eyes at her. I sipped my scotch and listened to her prattle on about wine. "And I love the Arbor Mist Pinot I buy...and it's only $7 for a big bottle!" she declared loudly.

I gave her a harsh glare and then set my glass down. "It's my money, Cami. I work hard at two jobs to earn it. I don't spend on myself and I rarely eat out. Just sit back tonight and let me spoil the shit out of you! Please?"

Cami pursed her lips and pouted at me. "I don't need all this, Chance. It's just too much."

I took another swig of my scotch and abruptly stood up. "What the fuck, Cami? Why can't you let me enjoy this? Enjoy us? Yeah, maybe this shit is a little over the top, but I told you I don't know what the fuck I'm doing! I've never even been on a..."

Her eyes grew wide as I nearly spilled another secret. I stared down at her for a moment before stalking over to the railing a few feet away. I leaned heavily on the side, glancing across the Elliott Bay as a few sailboats passed by. I could feel Cami step up behind me, her hands slipping under my arms and smoothing down my chest as she held me from behind.

"You've never been on a date before."

I let my head drop as I sucked in a deep breath. "It's lame I know."

"No," Cami laughed as she pulled on my jacket and made me face her. "I love that you are having your first date with me. It makes me feel so special, honey."

I rested my elbows on the railing behind me and studied the gorgeous creature in front of me. "I went overboard. It's too much. You said it yourself."

Cami pressed her body against mine and beamed up at me. "I didn't understand what a big deal this was. Now I do."

I reached around to hold onto her hips, letting my thumbs brush the skin exposed by the cut-outs in her dress. "I just wanted to take you someplace beautiful. You can even see the space needle from here."

I buried my face in Cami's neck, suddenly embarrassed about my outburst and how I had taken this too far. "You gotta help me with this boyfriend shit, baby. I'm fucking it all up," I whispered huskily into her ear.

She pulled away from me, grabbing my lapels and shaking me a bit. "You stop that right now. You're so thoughtful and sweet and all I've done is bitch at you. I'm sorry for being so ungrateful."

I cupped her ass with both hands and pulled her close. "I just want to be with you," I paused to lightly pull her hair back, exposing her throat to me. "I'm so hungry," I moaned against her skin as my lips coasted up to her mouth. I whispered on her lips, "You're gonna let me taste you tonight, right?"

Cami's mouth fell open so I couldn't help but let my tongue dip in and feel her tongue rub against mine. "Mmm ...delicious," I hummed. "But I'm gonna need a little more than that."

I smiled when she pushed up on her toes to kiss the tip of my nose. "After we eat," she promised, her eyes gleaming from the sunset behind me.

I followed her back to the table, unable to take my eyes off her hips and how they swayed just for me. As we sat back down to peruse the menu, all I could think about was...after.
