Resting her chin on my chest, she flashed me a smile that caused my stomach to drop. “Lunch? I am kind of hungry.”
I nodded my head. “Let me go back to my room and change. I’ll meet you down at the hotel restaurant in fifteen minutes.”
Her eyes lit up as I pulled her up and kissed her. The soft moan that escaped from her lips made my body instantly warm.
When our lips parted, we held each other’s gaze. “Finally,” she whispered with the sweetest smile.
A lump formed in my throat. I felt like a dick for all the times I led her on, only to push her way. My own stupid insecurities played a role in that and I still wasn’t sure if I was the guy she needed. That first night alone in her apartment when she told me her dreams of wanting to become a financial analyst for her grandfather’s company in Austin, I knew she would never be happy being a rancher’s wife. It was my dream. Not hers.
I made it down to the restaurant with a few minutes to spare when I saw Cammie North walking up to me.
“Fuck,” I mumbled under my breath.
“Where were you?” she asked with a fake smile.
We had messed around a few times and had one crazy night I wanted to forget and put behind me. The best thing for me to do was nip this shit in the bud. “I was with Taylor.”
Her eyes turned dark. “Taylor?”
“Yes, Cammie, Taylor. We’re together now, so whatever fun you and I had in the past, it’s in the past.”
Something moved over her face. “What would Taylor think if she knew you got drunk and fucked me and then my best friend?”
I grabbed onto her arm and pulled her closer to me. “Are you trying to threaten me?”
Her eyes searched my face before letting out a curt laugh. “With that little bit of information? No. I highly doubt she’d care she is so fucking infatuated with you.”
With a glance over my shoulder, she looked back and kissed me before I could stop her. Grabbing onto her, I pushed her away while she let out a chuckle.
“Listen, I don’t know what game you’re playing here, Cammie, but I’m not interested in you.”
Something evil moved over her face. “You’ll never make her happy,
you know that right?”
My hand pushed through my hair as I sighed. “So you’ve told me before.”
“Your little princess would never be happy playing farm girl after she lands her dream job.”
My heart felt as if someone was squeezing it. “And you would?” I asked.
Taking a step closer to me, she nodded her head and went to grab my dick. Pushing her away again, she softly said, “To have you every day for the rest of my life. Yes, I would be very happy. But I’m warning you, if you walk away from me Jase Morris, it will be the biggest mistake of your life.”
Letting out a laugh, I replied, “I’ll take my chances.”
Turning, I saw Taylor standing there. She looked over my shoulder at Cammie.
“Think she saw the kiss?” Cammie whispered as she walked past me. “Hey, Taylor. Hope you’re feeling better. You look awful.”
Taylor shot daggers at Cammie as she walked by.
“Don’t listen to her, Taylor. She’s a bitch.”
When she looked back at me, she asked, “What happened?”
I knew it was best to be honest with Taylor. For all I knew she had seen Cammie kiss me.
“She kissed me, but I pushed her away immediately. She was just trying to cause trouble like always.”
