he did hit her out of anger. He had woken with a
start and didn’t realize he was beating his own mother half to
death. She should’ve known better then to try and wake him from a
nightmare. He shook his head at the absurdity of his own line of
thought.
    “ Then why would you say
that you did?” she asked.
    “ I never actually said
that.” Cam changed direction and rounded the cluster of trees in
the opposite direction. “I just said that I could flatten you. Not
that I would flatten you.”
    She jerked to the opposite direction,
whirled the branch down and whacked him across the hand.
    “ Son of a bitch!” He
cradled his hand. “I think you broke my wrist.”
    “ I’ll break more than that
if you come any closer. Go away.”
    When Cam bent over and examined his
wrist, Maggie cracked the branch across the back of his knees. He
toppled forward, landing face first onto the dry grass. Cam rolled
to his side.
    Maggie sprinted down the trail—exactly
what he’d waited for.
    She didn’t get more than a few feet
before he tackled her –football style—to the ground. He positioned
himself over her hips and straddled her waist. Maggie slugged him
across the face. Blood trickled from the corner of his
mouth.
    “ Ahhh!” She tucked her
hand into her chest.
    Cam massaged each finger then her palm.
“I don’t think anything is broken.”
    With her good hand she swung, but he
gripped both of her wrists with one hand and pinned them over her
head.
    Leaning forward, he spoke against her
quivering lips. “I’m not going to hurt you.”
    Maggie struggled and clicked her teeth,
trying to bite him.
    Cam clapped a hand over her mouth. “I
think you broke my wrist,” he hissed through gritted teeth. “I have
a gash across the back of my knees, and my tongue is bleeding. If I
was going to hurt you, I’d have done it by now.” He arched a
brow.
    Maggie’s body stilled.
    Cam waited.
    He waited some more.
    Sighing, he rolled off her and cupped
her chin. “Babe?”
    Pushing him onto his back, Maggie
covered his body with hers, raining kisses over his closed eyes,
down the bridge of his nose and on his mouth.
    Shoving her aside, he sat up. “Talk
about Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.” Cam wiped his mouth with the back
of his hand.
    “ Me?” She sat back on her
haunches. “You’re the one who’s telling me you’re a monster one
minute, but when I kick the crap out of you, all evidence seems to
the contrary.”
    Cam smirked. “I let you beat on
me.”
    Maggie cupped her ear. “Ssss. I hear it
again, except this time the testosterone is spraying from your
pores, not just leaking.”
    Cam smiled.
    Maggie pushed him to the ground and
positioned herself over his waist, just like he’d done to her. “Now
we make love and live happily ever after.” She pinned his hands
over his head. Her breasts brushed against his chin, her low-cut
tank top allowing him a delicious view.
    Swallowing, Cam turned his head.
“Nope.”
    “ What are you afraid
of?”
    He shook his head. “Not the making love
part.”
    “ Living happily ever
after? You think you’ll get bored with me?”
    “ Nope.”
    “ Then what?”
    Cam’s cock pushed at the crotch of his
sweatpants. “I don’t want to hurt you.” Stretching his neck, he
focused on the trees behind her.
    “ We’ve already established
that’s not going to happen.”
    “ Things change.” He turned
his watery eyes toward the purple sky. “People change.”
    “ Why would you say
that?”
    Cam bit his tongue, resisting the urge
to thrust his hips into her groin. “My father’s blood flows through
my veins.”
    Maggie laughed. “That’s what this is
all about?”
    “ What the hell is so
funny?”
    “ Silly.” She gave him a
quick kiss. “Silly.” She kissed him again. “Man.” Maggie flicked
her long hair to one side and kissed the side of his
neck.
    She kissed his cheek.
    She kissed the corner of his
mouth.
    Cam’s breath caught in his
throat.
    Maggie spoke against his
