Page 68 of Healing Love

Pulling into Jack’s driveway several minutes later, they saw the men piling out of Jack’s house. Cam’s eyeslanded on the car and a smile lit his face. Miriam bounded out of the car almost before Bethany parked, then was uncertain as to how much public display of affection Cam wanted with his friends around.

She should not have worried. Cam hurried down the last few steps and lifted her off her feet into a bear hug before she had a chance to greet him. With one arm around her waist and one at the back of her head, he swung her around several times before leaning back to gently kiss her hello.

By the time Miriam was aware of the others, Bethany had snuggled into Jack’s embrace and the rest of the Saints were smiling.

With a wave of his hand, he continued to walk-carry her over to his truck, settling her inside. Once they were heading down the road, he nervously glanced over to her, catching her eye.

Huffing, she said, “Bethany was doing the same things earlier. Staring at me like she wanted to say something but was afraid to. Am I that scary?”

“What was it Bethany wanted?” he asked.

“Oh, now you’re deflecting. What was it that you wanted to say?” she quipped.

He shifted uncomfortably in his seat for a moment before finally saying, “I got a call from Ma earlier. She was tired of not having met you and with us living together, she wanted a big family meal Friday night.”

“So soon?” she squeaked. “That gives me no time to prepare!”

“Yeah, but it also gives you no time to worry either.” He glanced over, keeping a pulse on her emotions but,other than being surprised, she did not seem too upset. “Cariña, we don’t have to if you really don’t want to.”

“No, it’s fine. It really is,” she confessed. “I’d like to meet them, but it just seems sudden.”

Silence filled the cab for a few minutes, each lost to their own thoughts before Cam asked, “Now, what did Bethany want?”

“She said that she knows of a counselor that specializes in trauma victims and there is a group meeting in Richmond. She would like to go for herself and thought I might like it as well.”

He turned quickly, once more checking to see her reaction. “What did you say?” he asked cautiously.

Smiling, she faced him and replied, “I said that I’d like to go.”

His face registered surprise as he quickly asked, “Are you sure, babe?”

“Yeah. It’s time. I’m doing really well, I think, all things considered. But yeah, it’s a group of people who have been victims also. Maybe it would be good. And with Bethany there, I won’t feel so weird going.”

By now, they had reached Cam’s house and, as he stopped the truck, she leaned over, placing her hand on his face. “Sweetie, you know that you have been the biggest factor in my doing as well as I am.”

“I’d do anything for you,mi amour.” Holding her gaze, he added, “I love you, Miriam. I think I’ve loved you since I first laid eyes on you.”

Her breath caught in her throat as his words soothed over her, filling her soul. “Oh, I love you too, Cam.” Giving a small giggle, she said, “Probably since themoment you leaned in and whisperedJobe,and I knew you’d come for me. My prince.”

Cam pulled her in for a kiss that quickly moved from gentle and sweet to white hot. Mumbling against her lips, he said, “Inside. Now.”

With that, they broke apart, each quickly jumping out of the truck and racing to the front door. She jumped into his arms just as he kicked the door closed and he carried her to the bedroom. This time, he forced himself to go slow, letting her body slide down the front of him until her feet were touching the floor.

She grabbed the bottom of his T-shirt, jerking it up as far as her arms would allow before he took over and pulled it the rest of the way over his head. His sculpted chest and abs were clearly defined, capturing her attention.

While he enjoyed her ogling, he deftly pulled her nursing scrub top over her head and added it to the growing pile in the floor.

Sliding her hands along his chest, she flicked her fingertips over his nipples, watching as they pebbled, and enjoyed hearing the hiss intake of his breath.

Bending, Cam hooked his thumbs in her elastic waist scrub bottoms and quickly slid them down her legs, snagging her panties in the process.Gotta admit, her nursing pants are easy to get rid of,he thought as the prize he had been seeking was presented to him. Her glorious, naked body.

Instantly wet, she knew he wanted to be in charge, but she had a few tricks of her own. Turning him around so that his back was to the bed, she placed herhands on his chest and gave him a little push. He went backwards, a surprised look on his face that quickly changed to lust as he realized what she was doing.

She slowly crawled over his body, her breasts hanging delectably in front. She saw his pupils dilate as he feasted upon the sight of her hard nipples coming tantalizingly closer.

He started to sit up on the bed with his arms reaching out, but she held up a finger waving it back and forth. “Oh no, big boy. This part of the show is all mine.”

She licked her way up his abs toward his pecs, landing at his nipples where her little, pink tongue darted out to flick the hard nubs. His sharp intake of breath hissed, and she grinned at the power she held. Sitting to the side of his hips, she undid his belt buckle and unzipped his pants down over his massive erection. Standing quickly, she leaned over the bed, pulling his pants over his ass and down his legs, allowing her breasts to once again tease and tantalize.
