CHAPTER 9

The ceiling in Cam’s room was thatched differently than hers. Perhaps it was the play of light and shadow. Sarah wasn’t sure. She lay on her back, staring up at the roof. She didn’t even bother trying to sleep. Sometimes she could. Sometimes she couldn’t. It didn’t bother her either way. Lying in Cam’s bed, listing to his deep, even breaths was oddly comforting. That very fact unsettled her.

She glanced to the side, at Cam’s sleeping face. His features lost their hard look when he was at rest. He was almost… serene. Who would have thought that the black hearted Cam Spade was little more than a puppy, as eager for scraps of affection and love as any normal person?

She had him right where she wanted him. He was sweet, almost docile. He was even fun. The days she spent on the island evaporated into a haze of passion, laughter and… joy. She was shocked to find that the light, bubbly feeling in her chest was happiness. She was happy. Nearly three weeks on a deserted island with Cameron Spade had turned her into the same, soft puppy that he was.

Her plan to seduce Cam to get what she wanted was paying off. The only problem with a wicked plan was that it could only work if she was wicked. Her heart, which was supposed to be hard and cold, was anything but.

Sarah shifted and slid silently out of bed. She moved to the window where she stared at the moon. Its reflected silver glow danced on the ocean waters beyond the swaying trees. She breathed in, filling her lungs with the warm, fragrant air.

This was probably as close to heaven as she was ever going to get. It turned out she was no harder or colder than Cam himself truly was. She was just a flesh and blood woman. A woman who melted into his arms, who longed for him and desired him. A woman who cared for him.

Sarah blinked hard against the sting of tears. She didn’t love Cam. It was far too soon to bandy about that ridiculous word, but there was something between them. Whatever it was it was sweet, delicious, dangerous and utterly heartbreaking. Caring for Cam ultimately meant she had to betray her brother. If she cared for Cam she couldn’t deceive him or hurt him yet if she didn’t, her brother’s life was ultimately at risk.

She turned away from the window, utterly lost. Her clothing, one of Cam’s t-shirts and a pair of his shorts that she’d altered with a few stitches here and there so at least they stayed on, lay in a pile on the floor where she’d shed them in her eagerness to join Cam in bed. Her cheeks flushed hotly as she pulled them on.

She needed to get out of this room, out of this house, in order to think. The warm night breeze and the ocean’s gentle waves called to her.

She stole out of the house, quiet, so she wouldn’t wake Cam.
