Chapter Sixteen

Ford

You own me, Ford. You fucking own me.

His words caused more tears to prick the backs of my eyes. I’d never met anyone as open and forthright as Cam. He said exactly what he meant and I knew it was the same now. I could see the vulnerability in his eyes as he waited for me to respond. I didn’t understand the connection he and I had, but it was like I’d told him.

It felt right.

I believed it was right.

I didn’t want to consider anything beyond that at the moment.

I just wanted to be with him. I wanted to feel safe and protected and needed and I wanted to give those things back to him.

After leaving the sanctuary, I’d been frantic.

Positively frantic.

I’d called the police station over and over but the receptionist had told me she couldn’t give me any information about Cam. Then I’d just started driving. I’d automatically made the assumption that an injured Cam would have been taken to the ER in Greenville, since that was the biggest medical center in the area. I’d once again run into people unwilling to give me information but fortunately Jodi, the nurse who’d taken me to see Walter the day he’d gotten hurt, had seen me in the ER. She’d told me that Cam wasn’t there but that she’d heard on the news about a police officer being shot outside Duluth, which was several hours away. I’d used my phone to read every single breaking news story I could find about the shooting while Jodi had tried to find out which hospital Cam had been taken to.

When she hadn’t been able to find any information at all, I’d been a wreck. The only information I’d found online had been about an officer being shot while assisting police in a small town outside Duluth called Elk River. The officers had been serving a warrant when they’d been fired on and the suspect had escaped into the woods. A foot chase had ensued for hours and the suspect had eventually carjacked a woman with two kids. Gun fire had been exchanged and the suspect had been killed. The mom and kids had been unharmed but I still had no clue what Cam’s role had been.

“What happened today?” I asked as I caressed Cam’s face. My body was crazy with need, but I couldn’t calm my racing brain as I considered how close I’d come to losing him. I’d had visions of him coming back to his house and me walking up to him only to find his body cold and stiff and unyielding. After what had happened to me at Fright House when I’d been a kid, I’d stopped believing in ghosts, but tonight I’d been so afraid that Cam was gone from this earth that my mind had started going to all the places it’d been when I’d been in that pond as a child.

Cam was still rubbing my thigh but his touch softened just a bit.

“I was helping the cops in Elk River pursue a suspect.
