Read Online I Saw Her Standing There by Marie Force - Free Book Online Page A

glance over her shoulder told her Will was right behind her, with the blanket tossed over his shoulder and the bag of trash in hand. Nervous giggles escaped from her lips as he caught up to her and hooked an arm around her waist from behind.
    She screamed with laughter when he swung her around.
    The dogs barked and frolicked at their feet.
    Cameron had never felt more “herself” or at home than she did with him, especially in moments like this when they were silly together. For so long she’d affected a tough outer shell that she showed the world, which was how she grappled with the early loss of her mother and the attention deficit disorder that had marked her lonely childhood.
    But with Will—and his big, rowdy family—she’d discovered the tough outer shell wasn’t necessary. She didn’t need to protect herself against him or them. She’d allowed herself to believe that his love was forever.
    He put her down and kissed her neck from behind.
    Cameron covered his hands with hers and leaned back against him, loving the way he surrounded her and made her feel safe in a way she’d never felt with any man before him.
    After weeks of living with him and sleeping with him, she wasn’t at all surprised to feel the press of his erection against her back, just as he probably wasn’t surprised when she rubbed herself against him shamelessly.
    “In the car, woman,” he said, with a playful smack to her rear end. “I’m suddenly very anxious to get to the lake.”
    “Why?” She loved that he held the door to his truck for her—always. “Do you want to go swimming?” Feigning innocence, she looked up at him.
    He leaned in and kissed her again, with sweeping thrusts of his tongue that had her immediately ready for anything he had in mind. “No, I don’t want to go swimming,” he said when he came up for air. “You know damned well what I want, so be ready when we get there.”
    “Oh, yes, sir. Whatever you want, sir.”
    “Call me ‘sir,’ and you’ll get a whole
other
side of me that you haven’t seen yet.”
    She found the statement both intriguing and titillating. “All this and there’s
more
?”
    He winked suggestively. “Much, much more.”
    Cameron suddenly couldn’t wait to get to the lake house.
    They passed much of the ride in the easy silence she’d come to appreciate in her relationship with Will. He didn’t feel the need to fill every minute with useless chatter. If he said something, it was something worth hearing. Though he was quiet, he still kept a firm grip on her hand as he drove, and that small gesture made her feel loved and treasured.
    She’d had no idea this kind of happiness was even possible until she crashed into Fred the moose and found Will Abbott in the dark of Vermont mud season. At first she’d worried he might be a chain saw murderer, a thought that now made her giggle softly.
    “What’s so funny?”
    “I was thinking about the night we met and how I worried you might be a chain saw murderer.”
    “Your fertile imagination never ceases to entertain me.” He brought her hand to his mouth and nibbled on her fingers. “Why would I want to cut you up with a chain saw when I’d much rather tie you to my bed and have my way with you?”
    Cameron swallowed hard. “Tie me to your bed?” she asked in a squeaky voice. “Since when did my beta boyfriend become an alpha?”
    “Since he found the perfect woman for him and let his imagination run wild.”
    “Personally speaking, I thought his imagination was already pretty wild.”
    “Oh, babe, his imagination is almost as fertile as yours.”
    “I’m a little scared of what goes on at this lake house of yours.”
    That made him laugh.
    Cameron loved to make him laugh and to watch him laugh. He was so damned sexy all the time, but when he laughed . . . She really loved that. And his amazing smile . . . She’d fallen in love with that first. Who was she kidding? She was crazy in love with everything about him,
