“What?” she asked him, eyes not leaving the road.
“Nothing really. I just like watching you drive. You’re good. You’re fast, but you’re good.”
She did glance over at that and grinned. “Thanks. So what do you think of my new car?”
“Not bad for a mid - life crisis car.”
She snorted. “I wanted a car that was not entirely practical, but one that I chose, one I negotiated, and I paid for. This baby is mine. All mine .”
“Carson really was an asshole,” he said carefully.
He saw her glance in her rear view mirror and frown. “Absolutely. I’ll do anything I can that would have blatantly gone against his mandates. I consider each action a small victory; sort of l ike a big middle finger.”
They arrived at the college and Leanne told him she had to prepare herself for the questions she knew were coming. She’d called her son ahead of time to let him know she was bringing someone with her. He wasn’t overly pleased when she would not explain further.
Cameron watched the mother/son reunion with interest. Michael was extremely tall and very broad-shouldered with brown hair and brown eyes. He was a good looking kid who resembled his mother, especially when he smiled. While he and Michael were the same height, the kid was at least 40 pounds heavier. Michael hugged his mother and kissed her cheek. The affection between them was very obvious. The boy’s smile turned cool when Leanne made introductions.
“Michael, this is Cameron Mitchell. Cameron, my son Michael.” The younger male held out his hand. “Sir. Nice to meet you.” Cameron flashed him a grin. “No need to lie,” he said, amused. “But ,
we’ll fill you in shortly.”
The visit went well, acc ording to Cameron’s standards. Leanne’s son listened, he asked a few questions, and then they all went out for lunch before Michael had to return for the marching band ’s football game prep. Leanne excused herself from the lunch table, and Cameron waited for what he knew was coming. Michael leveled a stare in his direction.
“You like my mom, don’t you?”
“Of course I do. She’s a great lady.”
“No, I mean you like her, like her.”
Cameron sat back in his chair and smirked. “What makes you say that?” The young man grinned back at him. “You look at her the way I look at
my girlfriend.”
Cameron chuckled at that. The kid didn’t miss much. “Yeah, I do , but I know she’s had a rough time with your step - dad…”
Michael cut him off. “He’s not my step -dad. I don’t claim him at all. Mom thinks I don’t know what he did to her, but I do. The main reason I didn’t step in myself was because I knew it would make things worse for her in the long run. And she’d worry about me. I just feel bad that I left her and went off to school.”
“Your mom wouldn’t have it any other way. She worries less because you are where you want to be not to mention out of your step…I mean Carson’s line of sight. It’s my job to keep her safe until things are finalized with Carson and he’s in p rison for the insider trading.”
Michael regarded him for a few seconds before nodding his head. “I’m trusting you. If she gets hurt…”
“I’ll do my best to make sure that doesn’t happen.”
“No, I mean if you jerk her around and hurt her, I will personally t rack you down and kick your ass. Sir.”
“Understood,” Cameron said just as Leanne made her way back to the table.
She noticed the charge in the air immediately. “Everything okay?” she asked, eyes darting between the two males.
Cameron smiled at her. “Mic hael just told me that if anything happens to you he’s going to kick my ass.”
“Michael! What…”
“Relax, Red. He’s looking out for you like he should.” Leanne’s eyes welled as she sat down next to her son. She kissed his cheek
and leaned her head on his shoulder. “I love you, you big goob.” He flashed her a grin as he hugged her. “Same goes, Mother.” The rest of the day gave Cameron much more time to think and to watch
Leanne. He was intrigued by the fact that she tolerated the football game, but watched the band perform with extreme interest. She turned and caught him staring at her.
“What? The football team is on the marching band ’s field. I come for half-time.”
The pair left at the end of the third quarter to make the three-hour drive back to Dallas. Leanne allowed Cameron to drive her car back home. She found a hard rock radio station and leaned her head back against the seat. Once he shifted the car into fifth gear, he linked his fingers with hers.
“He’s a good kid,” Cameron noted. “And he loves you very much.” Her face beamed with pride. “He is a blessing to me. And the feeling is
very mutual. I don’t know how I got so lucky. He never gave me much trouble at all. I was thankful since I raised him on my own.”
“What happened to Michael’s dad?” He watched her face cloud over. “He’s a putz. He never had much to do with him; suddenly moved away
when Michael was about 12. They don’t really speak. It’s too much of an effort for his dad to have a relationship with him.”
Cameron brushed his thumb alongside Leanne’s . She’d been let down by the men she chose to have relationships with. It was a wonder she let him in at all on any level.
She turned to face him in the dim interior of the car. “Okay, Ace , enough about my crappy relationships. Wha t skeletons do you have in your closet?”
He squeezed her hand. “Not very many, really ; mainly because I never allowed myself to get close enough to someone to consider marriage.”
“Never?”
“It’s rather difficult to form and maintain relationships when you’ re a SEAL,” he explained. “It was hard enough for my parents. I wasn’t willing to put a woman through that, too.”
“That makes sense, I guess , b ut I’m sure you’ve broken a lot of hearts , ” she replied and released his hand only to run her fingers through his hair at the back of his head.
Cameron felt his bones start to melt at her touch. “You’ll make me fall asleep,” he rumbled.
“Mmmm. Not exactly the reaction I was hoping for.” He glanced at her briefly and saw something interesting in her eyes. “What
exactly were you hoping for?”
She smiled slowly and leaned over to kiss his cheek, running her tongue along his jaw.
He was instantly hard and aching to have her. “Jesus, Leanne. What are you doing?”
“If I have to explain what I’m doing, then I must have lost my touch,” she whispered, nipping his earlobe, her hand busy tracing patterns on the inside of his thigh.
He gripped the steering wheel so hard his knuckles turned white. “We’re still ninety minutes from home, baby.”
“Then I guess I need to take matters into my own hands,” she breathed, inching ever closer to his straining erection. It had been nearly a week since they’d been together. She removed her hand from his thigh and slid it underneath her jean skirt. She deftly removed her panties and dropped them in her purse.
Cameron caught the movement and inhaled sharply. He could smell her arousal. Seeing an exit for the next town, he took it, managing to maintain his composure while finding a decent looking hotel. He simply backed the car into a spot away from others and placed a sun shade in the front window. The other windows were tinted, giving them some form of privacy. He cut the engine and leaned back against the seat, trying to get his bearings. He heard the rustle of fabric and turned to see Leanne reclining in her seat, her skirt hiked around her hips as she slowly unbuttoned her shirt. Her other hand was busy stroking her clit. Emerald eyes turned hazy with need and desire.
“Leanne…”
“You make me crazy,” she said. “You stay close, sle ep in my room, but you won’t touch me. I can’t stand it. Tell me what I have to do to make you want me again.”
Chapter Five
He looked at her with disbel
ief. “You think I don’t want you? Red, that couldn’t be further from the truth. I want you so much I have to keep some distance so I can form a coherent thought. If I let my mind wander, I go back to our first night together. I can’t focus. Does this look like I don’t want you?”
Her eyes drifted down to his engorged cock, straining behind the button-fly of his jeans. Remembering how that cock felt as it pounded into her, scraping against her G-spot made her shiver with desire. Fresh moisture trickled between her thighs as she swirled her fingers around her clit.
“God, you’re so sexy.”
“You make me feel that way,” she breathed, unclasping her bra , exposing her beautiful breasts to his gaze. The look on his face said he was ready to take her right then.
“I want you to watch,” she whispered.
“With pleasure. Go ahead, baby. Make yourself come for me.” Removing her hand from between her legs, she kept her eyes on his while
running her fingers across her lips. He groaned as she inserted her fingers into her mouth to suck on them.
“I hope you’re planning to share,” he growled.
Flashing a smile, she dragged her fingers along her wet slit once again before offering them up for him to taste. Feeling brazen knowing he was watching with interest, she pinched and rolled her nipple with her other hand. “Talk to me. Tell me what you want to do to me,” she brea thed, working her skirt up and baring herself to his gaze. She knew he could see her wetness glistening on her pussy lips.
Leaning closer so he could talk into her ear, Cameron lowered his voice to a whisper. He knew she liked dirty talk in bed and was more than happy to give it to her if he could watch her get off. “You never seem to be able to keep your panties on around me,” he chuckled.
She grinned. “I feel compelled to take them off.”
He kissed her cheek. “That first night we met, I walked into th e bar and immediately saw you sitting there. All I could think about was having your legs wrapped around me while I fucked you until you couldn’t see straight.”
Leanne gasped and tugged even harder on her nipple. She pushed two fingers inside her juicy folds and moaned. She wanted him to just watch, but she saw a brief flare of mischief in his eyes.
Making quick work of his button fly, Cameron released his cock with a hiss and began to stroke it.
Leanne ran her tongue over her lips, wishing she had enough room to taste him.
“You came so quickly in the elevator, baby,” he continued. “That was hot. I was determined to find out how many times I could make you come on my face and around my cock.”
“Oh…god…keep talking,” she pleaded. Her breaths were becoming shallow as she removed her fingers. The wet sound of her pussy releasing her fingers echoed in the car. She groaned as he nipped at her earlobe. She felt his body tense with the control he was exerting to fight his own need.
“I love the fact that you like to talk dirty, Red. I know you like hearing me tell you what I’m going to do to you, how I’m going to do it, how beautiful you are when you come. I’ve never met anyone as responsive as you. You keep me as hard as granite every damn day. If I had m y choice, we’d never leave the hotel room. I’d keep you naked and underneath me, mindless from all the orgasms I’d give you.”
She panted and worked her clit furiously. She was so close. “What would you do to make me come?”
He smiled wickedly and continued to stroke his cock. “You like being held down, but I’d take it one step further. I’d tie you naked to the bed, making sure you couldn ’t hide any part of that sexy body from me. I’d kiss my way down your chest and suck on your nipples. I’d tease you licking…biting…sucking…until you arch into my mouth.”
Leanne pictured it all in her mind, and it was driving her ever higher toward the peak she wanted to reach.
“I’d leave your nipples with a better prize in mind. I’d slip between your thighs and open your pussy lips with my fingers so I could see how wet you are. I bet you’d be just as wet as you are now, wouldn’t you , baby?”
“Mmmmm…yes.”
“Such a pretty pussy. It’s wet and juicy. I want to taste you, Leanne. Come on sweetheart, make that pussy come. Now. Come now.”
With a sharp cry, Leanne shattered as Cameron watched her. She arched and shuddered against her hand, sobbing his name.
It took her a few minutes before she could move. She heard Cameron righting his clothes and turned to watch him with sleepy desire. She didn’t think she’d ever not want him. “I almost wish we’d met under different circumstances,” she said quietly and began to button her shirt.
Cameron quirked a brow at her. “Really? If circumstances weren’t what they are, I’m not su re we would have met at all. Perhaps I should thank Carson for being such a dick.”
Leanne let out a breathy laugh. “Ah, no , I just meant that I wish that things weren’t so…”
“Stressful?”
“I guess. We’ve kind of had to learn in reverse, if that makes sense.” “Red, we were learning in reverse the minute you took your panties off in
the elevator.”
“Oh...well...there is that…”
They laughed and he squeezed her hand, watching her as she raised her seat and refastened her seat belt. She regarded him with amusement, affection, and barely banked need. He removed the window shade and started the car for the remainder of the drive back to Dallas.
“Take me home, Ace. Then take me to bed.”
*****
Blue eyes burned with anger as they stared in the direction of the small sports car. That bitch was driving something completely impractical and she was banging the head of her security department? Scott Carson mentally ran through a list of things he wanted to do to his wife, starting with punishing her for sleeping with another man. She refused a ménage with him, but had no trouble spreading her legs for some military thug. She’d pay for leaving him and for sleeping with someone else. She’d pay dearly.
Placing a call, he waited for an answer. There was no voice on the other end, just breathing. “Have all the arrangements been made?” he asked impatiently. The breathing got faster and Scott knew he’d annoyed his contact.
“Of course,” came the raspy reply.
Disconnecting the call, he nursed the boiling rage he felt as he watched the sports car pull away before following at a safe distance.
Soon. Very soon.
Chapter Six
About thirty minutes outside Dallas, Cameron glanced over at Leanne to see her staring out the window. The dashboard lights reflected in her eyes. She looked pensive.
“You okay?”
Preoccupied eyes captured his. “Mmmm. Just lost in thought.”
“Me, too,” he replied.
“About what?”
He picked up her hand, kissed the back of her knuckles and placed it on his knee. “You mentioned earlier that most women had a fa ntasy about ménage…does that include you?”
She frowned slightly at the question, giving him a slight shrug. “Sure, I’ve thought about it, but…”
“But…you’ve never had the opportunity?”
“Something like that.” She looked at him suspiciously, and he saw the wheels start to turn in her head. “Why the interest? Have you been in one?”
He glanced briefly at her. “Would you be shocked if I said yes?”
She seemed surprised. He wondered how shocked she really was.
“I…wow…so…how does that work exactly? I mean, I know what it is, but who…”
He chose his words carefully. “My friend Jason has been my third before. It’s not something I prefer on a regular basis, but we trust each other.”
She began to squirm in her seat. “Have you ever been Jason’s third?” she asked, intrigued, more than a little turned on.
Cameron nodded. “I have. Again, not something I prefer, but we’ve…shared…a few times…over the years.”
She turned back to the window and seemed to be
of…arrangement…it’s you, Jason and a woman.”
“Well, we certainly don’t invite another man to the party, sweetheart.”
Leanne punched his arm playfully. “Smart ass. How does…who…”
“Just ask, baby. I’ll tell you what you want to know.” “I’m not naïve, but I’m trying to figure out how it all works.
Do you switch off?”
“Sometimes, but most of the time we are both involved with the woman at the same time. It ’s two men, one woman, Leanne. Touching, teasing, kissing, licking, and fucking. We push boundaries and make our partner so hot she’ll do anything we want. Extreme pleasure for all of us.”
Leanne was starting to flush. She squirmed once more in her seat.
Cameron noticed and smiled. “The idea appeals to you, I take it.”
“I will admit that I am intrigued,” she said. “I just never really thought about it in the concrete sense.”
“Maybe you should. Jason will be here next week.”
Her posture stiffened, and her eyes widened in surprise. “What?”
“I’ve asked him to come and review a few things. I’ve been over your secur ity detail until I can’t see things anymore. I want a fresh perspective to make sure I haven’t missed something critical — overlooked someone I shouldn’t have. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to help me.”
She seemed slightly relieved to hear that the main reason for Jason’s upcoming arrival was related to her safety and not something else.
“We’d never force you, sweetheart,” he said gently. “I won’t even bring it up while J is here unless you want me to.”
“What’s Jason like?”
Lust curled in Cameron’s belly. The fact that she was asking questions about Jason indicated she was more than a little interested in participating. He hadn’t been kidding when he said a ménage was not his preference, but if this was her fantasy, he’d make it come true for her. Sudden visions of Leanne tied to the bed, flushed with passion; lips swollen from his kisses, legs spreads while he watched Jason lick and suck her to orgasm, came to mind.
