Page 37 of Camila's Dom
She tipped her head to look at him.“I think it’s about time, but I feel bad thinking that way.”
“Well, don’t because they deserve everything they’re getting and more.”Drake grinned.“Imagine your sisters in orange jumpsuits.”
Camila burst out laughing.“Oh, my God.They’ll hate that.So will my parents.”
“Good.”
She stiffened.“I won’t have to go back, will I?”The thought of being in the same room as them made her nauseated.
“Not if I can help it,” Drake said.
“I really doubt they’ll need you to testify.The charges they have right now don’t involve you,” Jeremiah said.
She nodded.“Good.”
She felt Drake kiss the back of her head.
“I think that’s it for now, baby.”
“Can I go out in the garden?I’m helping put in bushes.”
“As long as you don’t overdo it,” Drake said.
“I won’t.”She went to stand, but then gasped when Drake pulled her back down on his lap and kissed her with a passion that always left her breathless.
When he lifted his head, he grinned down at her.
“Now, you may go,” he said.
He lifted her off his lap.
She stopped near the lawyer’s chair.“Thank you for helping us.”
“Of course, honey.I’m always here if you need me.”
“I’m glad we have friends like you in our lives,” she said.
She waved and walked out of the room.
For the rest of the day, she dug in the dirt and listened to the few men helping talk about sports, but her mind was on the fact that her family would be behind bars soon.She’d never admit to anyone how happy she was.It might make her a bad person, but she didn’t care.If they were in prison, they wouldn’t be able to just show up at the ranch.
She hadn’t realized how much she worried about it until Drake told her about them breaking the law.Now, she felt freer than she ever had before, and it made her almost giddy.
Camila was showering before dinner when she felt a large, hard body press against her back.She smiled and leaned back against her dom when his arms wrapped around her.
“I heard you humming, love.I don’t think I’ve ever heard you do that,” Drake said.
She thought about it for a moment and then nodded.“You’re right.”
“I like it.It makes me glad to hear you are so happy.”
She turned in his arms.“I’m always happy with you.”
He smiled and kissed her forehead.“I know, but now that your family will be out of your life forever makes you content.Like, you can really let down your guard.”
“You’re right.I hadn’t realized how much I let them affect my everyday life,” she said.
“I think you buried a lot to protect yourself.A lot of people would have broken down if they had been abused like you had.You’re stronger than you think.”
