And Cameron had saved it, too, by sending me to him.
He gave me a kind smile. “Danton told me it was the happiest time of his life too. Considering what he was going through that was quite an admission. You know how much he adored you.”
“His love will last a lifetime.” Tears stung my eyes, but I forced them back. “Do you think…?”
“Go on.”
“When Ethan heard the cello playing, do you think it really was Danton getting a message to me?”
Cameron stared down at his hands. “Why not, Scarlet? He promised he’d come to you if you ever needed him.”
Yes, he had…those were the last words he’d spoken, his promise to always watch over me.
“The thing is,” I continued softly, “I felt him.”
He nodded. “There you are then.”
The waitress delivered his Earl Grey and Cameron grinned when he noticed the “Cole” logo on the tea tag.
It made me smile, too. Our waitress had no idea that Cameron came from the billion dollar empire that was Cole Tea. It was best if things stayed that way. If him being one of the most beautiful men in the world didn’t overwhelm you, finding out he was also a billionaire was a shock like no other.
He deserved to be happy. To find “the one.”
Maybe if Cameron fell for someone he’d leave the rest of us alone and we could all get on with fucking up our own lives again.
I turned to face him. “Ethan is brilliant and sexy and feisty and so handsome.”
Cameron arched a brow. “I was just thinking that.”
“I love him.”
“He’s cracked your ice-dragon demeanor. That’s quite an accomplishment.”
“He’s kind and patient and he gets me.”
“Well, that’s good.”
“And he has a monkey baby.” It came out in a rush.
“Do I even want to know what that means?”
I rubbed my tired eyes. “He adopted a baby monkey at the L.A. Zoo and I got to meet her. Her name’s Poppy. He has visiting rights and everything.”
Cameron smirked. “Even worse than I thought.”
I took a long sip of my chocolate shake and then slid the glass over to Cameron. “You work miracles. Can’t you do something to make this happen for me?”
He sighed. “I have this wild, brilliant plan.”
I perked up. “Oh?”
“Richard’s spiraling again.”
My shoulders slumped. I was disappointed that he’d changed the subject. “How?”
He gestured he wasn’t going to expand on the matter. “I want us to start looking for a submissive that’ll be a perfect fit for him. It’ll take time. But keep your eyes out for someone special. We’ll save her from banality and give her a glorious life.”
“You know how arrogant that sounds, right?”
