Twenty-Three
Cameo
I hate seeing the uncertainty written all over his face.
“Sager, nothing will change. I love you and just because this child might be his, it doesn’t mean I’ll go back. I want you and I’ve never been more certain about something in my life. You’re the only man I want.”
I sit up and wrap my arms around his neck, pulling him closer to me.
“Cam, you are amazing.”
I can see the love he has for both of us in his eyes even though he doesn’t know if he’s the father.
One thing I love about him is the fact that he would do anything for me, even if that meant raising a baby that wasn’t his.
Our story hasn’t been easy, and we may have done a lot of things that were wrong, but we found ourselves in each other and not a day goes by that I don’t regret that. He is truly the other half of me, and that is something I won’t give up, not now or ever.
“Now, please fuck me,” I whisper against his lips.
“So fucking hot when you say it,” he murmurs. His lips move from mine, down my neck and when his hands grab my thighs, he pulls me so my ass is slightly hanging off the bed. “I want to hear more.”
His voice is hoarse, and the moment he fills me, I let out a curse. “Holy shit.”
That grin on his face is sexy as hell, and I can’t help but stare as he starts to move in and out of me. My ankles lock around his back, but he doesn’t let that stop him from thrusting his hips.
“Harder, Sager. Please,” I whimper when he slows his rhythm. One of his hands wraps gently around my throat, and as much as it freaks me out after everything that happened with Alec, I trust him enough not to hurt me. He promised he would never hurt me.
“Fuck,” he grunts out as he moves his hand to one of my breasts. He gives it a rough squeeze before he starts to slam into me harder.
Every thrust of his hips has me moaning, and when we both come, he collapses his body onto mine. His breath fans out over my heated skin. “I wanted to make love to you, but once you said those words, I couldn’t hold back.
“Soft and sweet isn’t us.”
He moves the hair out of my face and kisses my neck. “No, but you deserve it.” He stands up and slowly pulls out of me, and I groan in displeasure. “You deserve the fucking world, and I’ll never be able to give you what he can.”
“I don’t want the world; I only want you, Sager.”
“I don’t deserve you.” He smiles down at me.
“I know, but you’ve got me all to yourself now. Just like you wanted.”
He kisses me softly. “Just like I wanted.”

A little after five, Sager comes into the room with a huge grin spread across his face. “I want you to get ready. I have something planned.”
I frown at him and look back at the TV that I am currently watching. I’ve been binge watching Orphan Black since he went to the gym for one of his classes that he teaches during the day, and it’s getting really good.
I pause it and give him a questioning look.
“Come on, get your sexy ass up. We’ve got somewhere to go.” I look to the TV again before looking back at him. “I’ll even watch whatever it is you’re watching when we get back later.”
He swipes the remote from the bed and shuts the TV off, and I whine about how it’s getting good. “Sager, you don’t even know what you’re making me miss! It was just about to tell us something about the girl and how there are –”
He cuts me off, not even caring what I’m talking about. “Get in the shower and get ready.”
I pout a little, but it does nothing to get my way, so I just do as he says and head to the shower, stripping as I go.
“I want to bend you over my knee and spank you,” he mutters as I walk by him, tossing my shirt in his face.
“Sorry, you can’t.” I turn and rub my belly, and he shakes his head at me.
“Don’t test me, babe. If there’s a will, there’s a way.” I scurry into the bathroom, turning on the water before he can get up and spank me. I mean, I won’t say no to him giving me a little sexy time right this second, but when he’s got an idea, there is no deterring him until he does it.
I learned that lesson the hard way and the reason we are even together now. Sager Stone goes after what he wants no matter the consequences, and I am sure glad he does. Without him, I’d still be suffocating even when I didn’t realize it.
Alec and I should have never been together, and now I see that. He wanted something that I wasn’t, and I was too afraid to ever walk away on my own because I felt safe. Feeling safe isn’t always living though. Sometimes the only way to ever feel anything at all is to do something dramatic, or as I did…
It will never be an okay way to escape everything I was trying to get away from, but Sager taught me so much in those seven months.
As I wash my hair, I think of the first time I knew without a doubt that I was in love with Sager Stone.
Alec left town again for the dozenth time in the matter of a few weeks. He promised to call and even then it was going to be just like it was every other time. I’d get one phone call at night around eight when he was probably headed to bed or something.
Instead of waiting around for that call, I made up my mind and called Sager instead. Listening to the phone ring in my ear, I try to keep all perverted thoughts to myself, but it was impossible. It had been a week since I’d been able to head over to the gym or even his place and I was missing him.
“Hey babe, I didn’t expect you to call.”
I mess with the blanket that is still covering me because after Alec left, I couldn’t help but think of Sager. I spent the last fifteen minutes rubbing myself and getting off to a memory that I was dying to relive.
“He’s gone, and I was wondering…” I trail off, still unsure how to ask for anything from a man that isn’t my fiancé.
“You were wondering what? If I’d fuck you while he’s gone? You already know the answer, Cam. You say the word, and I’ll be ready and willing.” I push away thoughts of how wrong this is.
“I want you. Can we meet somewhere?” I can hear the hesitation in my own voice, and even though he won’t mention it, he’ll still think that I don’t really want this.
“Come over. I’ll be waiting for you.”
Once we hang up, I get out of bed and freshen up. One thing that Alec always told me was to make sure when you go out, that you are always presentable. Little did he know that I would be using that same mantra to be going out to meet up with the man I was cheating on him with.
Pulling up to Sager’s place, I put my car in park, and before I can even get out, my car door is being opened, and Sager is leaning in to kiss me.
“I’ve missed you.” His lips press to mine, and when he pulls away, he grabs my hand and helps me out of my car.
“Come on, I want to take you somewhere.”
Heck, right now I would agree to go anywhere with him. All he would have to do is ask.
After he gets me seated in his car, we take off, and I don’t think twice about what I’m doing for the first time. Instead, I just let it happen; knowing that being right here with Sager is where I belong.
The drive to what seems like the middle of nowhere is peaceful. We talk and laugh about anything and everything. I can be myself with him. I don’t have to play a part that I’ve adopted over the years, and I can let my hair down.
When he pulls over to the side of the road, I look over at him, and he has a grin on his face. He doesn’t say a word as he gets out and walks around to my side of the car and opens the door for me.
“Come on. I want to show you something.” I give him my hand, and he helps me out of the car like a true gentleman, that is until he shuts the door and slaps my ass.
“This place is where I used to come to think. I was an angry kid growing up, and so I would run away more times than not. This place never let me down though.” He leads me down this little path, and it’s the most gorgeous sight.
There are green trees as far as you can see and wildflowers growing through the area. It’s almost like a little perfect slice of heaven.
“It’s beautiful here.” I can’t help but stare at everything in awe. Where we live, we don’t get to see anything like this.
He leads me in front of the car and sits me on the hood before moving between my legs. I wrap my arms around his neck, and I know that if he looked down, he could probably see my panties. My dress barely stays in place as he moves his hands up my thighs.
The look in his eyes tells me everything I need to know. He brought me to a place that he considers his, and he’s sharing it with me.
Just as our lips touch, I feel that jolt, and I know that it’s starting to happen; I’m starting to fall in love with Sager.
I shouldn’t, but I can’t help it. The way he makes me feel is undeniable, and I want to bottle it up to keep it in my pocket for whenever I don’t feel good enough. Then I’d have something to remember. He grabs something from his pocket, and he holds it out to me.
“I want to remember this moment.”
My hands slip under his shirt, and I pull it over his head before kissing his mouth. I’m afraid to see what’s in his hand, so I distract him as much as I can. Him giving me something will make this too real. It will solidify that whatever this is feeling is and it makes me nervous.
It reminds me that I am out in the middle of nowhere with a man that isn’t my fiancé and that I’m falling in love with him.
“Cameo, take it.” He sticks his hand out again and pulls back slightly. I hold my palm out, and he places something in my hand. My eyes drift down to my hand, and I see the delicate necklace. I stare down at my hand for far too long, not saying a word. Speechless is the only thing that comes to mind when I try to form words.
“I want you to always remember what we have. It may not be right to most, but I don’t care. I only care about you.”
“Thank you,” I finally whisper. “It’s beautiful.”
“Not as beautiful as you.” He tucks my hair behind my ear and leans in for a kiss. When he pulls away, he takes the necklace from my hand and puts it around my neck, pulling my hair out of the way and fastening it.
