CAM | NOW

When I dropped Haley off at home on Sunday morning, I didn’t realize it would be several days before I saw her again. I also didn’t think that I would miss her this much so quickly. We’d been apart for over ten years, and I never really missed her then.

Okay I did, but not like I do now.

Now, I crave her like a starving man craves a Big Mac. My body ached for her touch every hour I didn’t get to be with her. And my dick? Well, it was aching no matter how many times I got myself off in my hotel room replaying our time together last weekend.

She’d texted me a few times each day, telling me how busy she was with work and she would try to sneak away, but something always prevented her from coming over. She apologized over text multiple times and I told her I understood and not to worry. She was busy, I could respect that.

The sensible side of me could at least. The caveman side of me who wanted nothing more than to throw her over my shoulder and drag her back to my hotel bed could not.

By the time Wednesday rolled around, I was going crazy having not seen her, so I decided to surprise her in the morning with coffee from Coastal Brews.

I got up early, showered, and started toward Coastal Brews so I could get it to her before I knew she would be making some at home. It was early February, and the sun was starting to come up a little earlier each morning. While it wasn’t warm by any means, it was nice to see the sun before noon and feel it on your skin. The people who lived in town were also starting to come out earlier, and many of them waved to me as I walked by their front porches and picket fences.

Knowing I was going to be staying here longer than just a few weeks, I made a deal with the hotel that they could charge me weekly for my room until I told them otherwise. The other thing I did this week while trying to distract myself from missing Haley—and being horny as fuck—was get a gym membership. The gym here was nothing like the training center, but it would do for the time being. Plus, it was helping me work off some excess energy that was building up.

When I got to Coastal Brews, I waited until it was my turn to order and got myself a black coffee, Haley an iced caramel macchiato with almond milk, and Piper a vanilla latte. I also grabbed a few pastries from the case just in case the girls needed breakfast.

I had to finagle a carrying system for everything I had ordered but managed to make it to the bungalow without any issues. Standing at the door, I grabbed the bag of pastries with my teeth, held the drink carrier in one hand, and pressed the doorbell with the other. I waited for a moment before I heard footsteps on the other side of the door. It swung open quickly and on the other side of it stood a very surprised looking Haley.How does she look this pretty so early in the morning?

“Cam? What are you doing—oh my god, let me help you with that!” She grabbed the paper bag out of my mouth and waved me inside. The back side of the bungalow faced the water and the entire wall was made of oversized windows. The view of the ocean was so amazing it almost took my breath away.

“Cam, what are you doing here? I was on the back porch sitting on the swing when I heard the doorbell and was so confused. It’s not even 8 AM!”

I placed the coffee on the counter and walked toward Haley, who was standing on the inside of it, closer to the kitchen. I couldn’t help myself and looped my arm around her waist, pulling her closer to me. She was wearing tiny pajama shorts that showed the bottom of her ass and my sweatshirt from our date last weekend. The sight of her made my knees weak.

I would get on my knees for this woman if she asked me to.

Putting my nose close to hers I whispered, “I missed you, Jones. I thought a coffee bribe would finally get you to say yes to seeing me again.” A small smile crept across her lips and she didn’t pull away from me.

“You know I’m a sucker for iced coffee,” she whispered back.

The sound of her morning voice is what broke my self-control completely and suddenly I was pressing my lips to hers right there in the kitchen. She wrapped her arms around my neck and looped her fingers through my hair. With my hands on her waist, I pressed her against the countertop and dug my hips into hers. She reacted to the feeling of my hard-on with a low groan in the back of her throat.

Clearly, she missed me too.

As we stood at the counter consuming one another, I heard the faint sound of a door opening down the hall and feet padding across the floor.

“Holy shit, do I smell coffee?” Piper came walking out of her bedroom, rubbing her eyes, still in her pajamas. When we heard her voice, Haley and I jumped apart from one another and I turned away, pushing my erection down as if that would do anything to get it to go away.

“Oh! Well hello there, Camden. Are you here to get in our Haley’s pants so early in the morning?” A devilish look was on Piper’s face as she said it.

“Piper, knock it off. He brought us coffee.” Exasperated, Haley held up their coffee cups and shook them.

“And was your payment for said coffee shoving your tongue down his throat? And why does Camden look like a fifteen-year-old boy trying to cover up his dick? Camden”—she turned, talking to me now—“I agree with you that Haley is smokin’ hot, but I’ve seen a man with an erection before. You don’t need to be embarrassed.”

“Oh my god, shut up and drink your coffee or I’m dumping it down the drain!” Haley shoved the latte into Piper’s hand. With my erection finally under control, I turned around and started unpacking the pastry bag.

“Ohh, not only does he bring coffee, he brings food too. Whatta guy,” Piper swooned, taking a seat at the bar.

“Only for you, Piper.” I winked at her, playing into her game.

“You’re both annoying and I hate you.” Haley looked between us and took a swig of her coffee. I moved from standing beside her to behind her and looped my arms around her waist again.

Bringing my lips down and speaking softly into her ear I hummed, “Don’t worry, Jones, there are things that I will save to dojustfor you.”

Her eyes got wide and her cheeks flushed instantly. Piper stared at us uncomfortably for a beat before making a gagging sound and pretended to throw up on the floor.
