The hours creep by slower than the week leading to Christmas when you’re eight. But eventually, I hop in the truck and drive up my lane and back down to Cam’s. Our houses look like they were built about the same time and in the same style, but where mine looks like it hasn’t been occupied in two years and has the overgrowth to prove it, Cam’s is neat as a pin. No branches touch the roof, and the gravel drive is evenly graded, ending in a wide turnabout. From there, a flagstone paver path circles the house with a split that leads to the front porch.

Nerves on par with the first time I stomped down the chute with the Slayers, I walk up to the door and knock. Waiting, I take in the thick, lush lawn with diagonal lines mowed into it and what appears to be a fresh coat of paint on the rail. This is what it looks like to put down roots.

The thought sends an uneasy feeling through my gut, but then Cam’s at the door, looking hot as hell in a dove gray button-down that hugs his impressive biceps and shows off the tapered cut of his torso.

“Hey, sorry, I’m running late,” he says, stepping back with a wave at his neatly combed but not quite dry hair. “Delivery showed up as I was closing the store, and I got behind a few minutes.”

There’s a beat where it’s clear he doesn’t know what to do with his hands or quite how to greet me.

“No worries and no rush.” And then because I’m trying to at least look like I’ve got some game when my actual dating experience with guys is next to nil, I reach for his hip and lean in to drop a quick kiss at his jaw. “You look great… really great.”

And that hit of his aftershave mingling with the woodsy scent of his soap and product? Damn, it totally does it for me. And now I’m wishing I’d jerked off before I left because I’m at serious risk of sporting wood the whole night.

“Yeah? Thanks,” he says quietly. “You too.”

When his eyes come up and connect with mine, everything slows and the moment stretches. I feel that same sort of dizzying pull drawing me in, but somehow I manage to step back with only the smallest groan.

Based on the slant of his mouth and the color pushing into his cheeks, he hears it. But I don’t think he’s going to hold it against me.

“Umm, take your time getting ready. No rush. I’ll be in the car.”

I don’t give him the chance to respond. Just spin on my heel and get the hell out before I do something crazy like back him against another handy wall and drop to my knees for him.

My fingers feel numb as I slide into the driver’s seat and start the engine. If I’d hoped for a reprieve to get the situation in my trousers under control, I don’t get it.
