Page 67 of Feels Like Coming Home

“I don’t want you to, but you’re too much of a distraction and we have less than seven weeks before the conference. I need to be focused and I really need Piper to be focused. She’s only as good as her environment, and if you’re here, nothing will get done. I’ll text you tonight, I promise.”

Without meaning to, I reached for her face and took it in the palm of my hand. Almost instinctively, she rubbed her cheek against it and smiled up at me.

“I get it, you’re the big boss doing big boss things. Honestly, it’s a huge fucking turn-on.”

“Ohh, you like it when I’m the boss, huh?” she teased, a coy grin on her face.

“Yes. Very much so.”

She took a step closer to me, closing the space between us until her tits grazed my chest.

“I’ll remember that for this weekend then.” Her voice came out low and gravely. My erection was back in an instant.

“Geezus fuck, Jones.” I exhaled at her tone, instantly turned on and warm all over. “I’m gonna go before I take you right here in the front door. I don’t think Piper would appreciate us doing it out in the open like that.”

Haley was laughing again. “No, I don’t think she would. Goodbye, Cam.” She playfully pushed me out of the house but before she closed the door, I stole one more kiss from her.

“Goodbye, beautiful.”

I was lyingin bed when my phone buzzed from my nightstand. I paused the game I was watching to pick it up.

I couldn’t help but smile reading her name.

Hey Johnson, you still up?

I glanced at the clock and noticed it was eleven.

Are you just getting done with work?

No! God no, Piper and I got done a few hours ago. I’m just having a hard time falling asleep.

Is something wrong? Do I need to come over?

My severe need to protect her kicked in without warning.

No..that’s nice of you to offer though :)

I’m just…restless I guess. I had therapy today and I guess it's just sitting weird in my head…

I was proud of Haley for going to therapy, but every time she brought it up, I wasn’t sure how to talk about it. I wanted her to know I supported her in going, but didn’t want to push her to talk if she didn’t want to.

Do you wanna talk about it? Or talk about something else?

Mmm..I wanna talk about something else.

Okay..what do you want to talk about then?

How about what I’m hoping we do after our date on Friday?

Well, I wasn’t hard before but now…

I will happily talk to you about that. What are you hoping for?

I could name a few things…

She was playing coy.

If she was going to be like this, I would too.
