Chapter 10

Cam kicked Sunspot hard enough to make him bolt toward the barn.

I stared after his broad back, mouth hanging open in shock.

What in the holy fuck?

He’d killed his brother? Was he kidding? Was it a metaphor? I just couldn’t imagine a world where Cam had hurt anybody with more than sarcasm.

But Cam didn’t lie, that was sort of his thing. He said he’d come to the center eight years before. Had he been living with that guilt and pain for all that time? No wonder his anger always seemed so close to the surface. No wonder he seemed so tightly wound.

I kicked Pickles firmly in his ribs, making him lurch forward into a … leisurely trot. I nudged him again, but he refused to go any faster.

“Oh, come on, boy,” I groaned. “Get the lead out.”

Pickles seemed to think he knew better, however, and ambled back to the barn at his own pace. By the time I got back to the barn, Cam had most of Sunspot’s tack off. His posture was angry and stiff, but I couldn’t tell if he was angry with me for prying or with himself for blurting his business out to me that way. Mick was nowhere to be seen.

I pulled Pickles to a stop just outside the barn, near the slate-finish horse trough, and swung my legs off of the saddle.

“Cam,” I called, sliding to the ground and hitching Pickles to the post. He was already happily slurping at the filtered horse water. “Cameron?”

I jogged across the barn on legs that felt jellied and weak from the exercise of the ride. By the time I arrived at Sunspot’s stall, Cam had stripped every last piece of gear off of his horse and was facing me, ready to bolt himself.

And that was the moment when I realized I had no idea what to say.

Cam was breathing heavily, and his green eyes were glassy and hot. I lifted my hands, palms up, unsure of whether I was trying to stop him or touch him. Cam shut the stall door behind him, and he bent his head over me, his nose almost brushing my hair. His warm breath feathered across my forehead as I stared up at his mouth. I craned my neck up, barely restraining myself from licking that little divot above his top lip. He crowded me back against the tack room door. He stared down at me, seawater eyes desperate and bottomless, and I felt like I was drowning.

“Violet, we can’t,” he breathed against my mouth.

I nodded, even as my legs threatened to give way under me. “I know.”

He nodded and took a deep breath, then groaned, clutching my face in his hands and attacking my mouth. His lips molded against mine, and his tongue dragged across my bottom lip.

I moaned, twisting my hands into his shirt and pulling him close. The noise seemed to snap Cam out of his fugue state, and he pulled away from me. His mouth was red and wet, and his chest was heaving.
