Chapter Nine

After an afternoon out helping Mikhail fix fences, Mikhail and Camilla returned to the house for dinner—which had turned out to be damn good. Camilla had been worried about their dinner after the fiasco that morning, but Wyatt and James had pulled out all the stops. Borscht for their starter soup and slow-cooked roast beef, baby potatoes with garlic butter, glazed carrots, and grilled asparagus for the main. Dessert, mini eclairs that melted on her tongue, had even been a shocker. Not that James or Wyatt had made it: Gareth had picked it up from a locally owned bakery.

The other men had even begun to warm toward her. Though Nolan seemed a little wary still, and Lincoln appeared closed off. Gareth had told her that Lincoln was just that way, even with them on occasion, and to not take offense.

Stefan and Antonio were on dish duty, so everyone else had scattered pretty much right after the meal—though not before many jokes were called out, but quickly enough they were dragged into helping the two men. Camilla found herself alone with Gareth, as Mikhail was having a conversation with Nolan that looked serious. They headed off, but not before he shot her an apologetic look.

“Don’t worry about it, he’ll be back later,” Gareth said. “We likely have a mission coming up soon. Since Mikhail’s our sniper, Nolan likes to get his distinctly unique point of view on any locations we might end up in. Come on, let’s take a lazy walk to help digest dinner.”

“Ah, okay.” Camilla slipped her hand into Gareth’s and smiled up at him. “You just want to steal me away for a bit, admit it. That’s okay, though, I’m totally good with it. I can’t wait for you to kiss me, touch me. You know, the little things.”

“You’re babbling, sweetheart,” he said with a grin. “I kind of like it. I like the idea of you being so thrown for a loop by how much of a stud I am, how my charisma overwhelms you, and by the fact that my sexual pull is frazzling your brain. I’ll try to tone it down a bit for you.”

Camilla laughed; she couldn’t have stopped the laugh if she’d tried. “Oh God.” She was giggling now, at least, no longer gut laughing. “Well, tell you what.” She looked up at him with heat and need in her gaze. “How about you show me just how much I will need you in my life? I have a feeling that it’s going to be a lot.” She left it at that. Camilla wanted to know his thoughts on them being together.

She found herself spun and then pushed up against one of porch pillars. Gareth’s heat warmed every inch of her front. “You already know you need me.” Lowering his head, he brushed his lips to her jaw, moving down her throat to the hard beat of her pulse where he paused and gave a nip.

Camilla panted and nodded. “I do,” she confessed as she rubbed against him.
