CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Camille

On Monday morning, fresh off the most incredible weekend in memory, I practically skipped into work.

“Good morning!” I greeted Holly as she slouched in the Blue Rain lobby with dark glasses on her face and a cup of coffee in her hand.

“Someone’s cheerful,” she grumbled and yawned.

I tossed my purse under the reception desk. “It’s a beautiful day. Who wouldn’t be cheerful?”

Certainly not a girl who’d spent the last two days getting drilled by Dalton Tremaine.

I giggled. Holly took off her sunglasses and looked at me.

“Are you going to brag?” she asked.

“About what?”

“About the reason you’re beaming like a bride on her honeymoon.”

I switched the computer on. “I don’t know what you mean.”

Holly heaved herself out of the chair and approached. “There’s a rumor going around about you.”

“What rumor?”

“That you’ve been getting busy with the hottest club manager in the state.”

I didn’t say anything. Holly took my absence of response as confirmation.

“So, Dalton Tremaine.” She let out a low whistle. “You’ve got taste, girl, I’ll give you that. Nobody would complain about giving that hard body a workout. Is he a Dom? I bet he is.”

“A what?”

She rolled her eyes. “A Dominant. Role playing, bondage, all that Fifty Shades of Grey kinky fun? He seems like the type who needs a little something out of the ordinary.”

“Is that another rumor you heard?”

She shook her head. “No. It’s just my intuition. Maybe I was off the mark.” A slow grin spread across her face. “But you are fucking him, right?”

“Shh, keep your voice down.” I’d never been any good at lying and I didn’t see the point in denying the truth but Eleanor’s door was open down the hall and I didn’t really want to discuss my recent orgasmic windfall in earshot of my boss.

“We went out a few times,” I said evasively.

That wasn’t really a suitable summary for how Dalton and I had spent the past few days but Holly was obviously a blabbermouth and I wasn’t about to pour my heart out to her. So far the only person I’d told the truth to was Cassie.

How every time Dalton touched me all the senses I had were instantly awake and quivering.

How completely comfortable I’d felt in his arms, a stark contrast to prior sex partners who left me feeling restless and impatient to reclaim my personal space.

How I had wanted more than anything to sleep in his bed overnight and wake up with him in the morning.

I’d always doubted that instant connections between two people existed. I doubted it even though my mother was one of the world’s greatest romantics who was living her own perfect story and forever inventing new ones. I wasn’t about to go kneel before Dalton Tremaine and plead to wear his ring and bear his children, but after this weekend I no longer doubted that lightning could strike the heart.

Holly was scrutinizing me. “Is it okay if I offer you a word of advice?”

I figured she’d offer it whether I wanted to hear it or not so I said, “Sure.
