her feel like this before? She hardly knew him, but she did know that his kisses had her insides doing somersaults.
Her moan spurred Cam on. He twisted her around to face him and pushed her up against the doors of the elevator while he leveled an all-out assault on her mouth. His kiss was fierce and intense. Passion got the better of them as their tongues tangled together. Cam lifted Annie’s hands above her head and held them in place while he pressed his growing erection into her. Annie pushed closer toward him, feeling like she could not get close enough. It was Cam’s turn to moan in appreciation. This quiet Southern girl was a little firecracker who was ready to explode against him.
Just as Cam released her hands, the bell sounded and the doors of the elevator opened. Annie squealed as she stumbled backwards into the hallway. Cam tried to grab her but just missed, and Annie fell flat onto her butt. She could feel her cheeks go red and they continued to get redder as Cam laughed. She just stared at him and narrowed her eyes.
“Well, aren’t you going to help me up?”
Cameron smiled and squatted beside her. “Yes, ma’am,” he replied. Cam leaned over and gave her a quick kiss on her forehead, put one hand behind her back and the other under her legs and then lifted her up. Annie let out a shriek of delight as she wrapped her arms around his neck. He held her like she weighed no more than a newborn baby.
“Where to. sweetheart?”
“The end of the hall, on the right,” Annie directed him.
Cam carried her to her door and placed her gently on the floor. Annie’s head was still spinning as she rummaged around in her bag and found the keycard. She unlocked the door and walked in, Cam right behind her. Annie thought she would be nervous having Cam in her room, but the butterflies she was expecting kept calm. She dumped her things on the coffee table, removed her flip-flops, and turned to see where Cam was but instead collided with a T-shirt covered wall of muscle. Cam grabbed her around the waist and pulled her in close to him. He wasn’t letting her go this time.
“So,” Annie said with a shy smile. She was unsure of what to say or do. Cam’s kiss had messed with her mind.
“So?” Cam leaned down toward Annie, their lips only a fraction apart. Cam wanted to take her right there but waited for Annie to make the next move. To Cam, Annie was most definitely a woman worth waiting for.
Annie sighed, pulled back, and straightened her back. “What do you want to drink?” she asked him as she walked over to the mini bar fridge.
“A beer would be great,” Cam replied. His hands were in his hair again, rubbing back and forth. He was feeling a little frustrated but also turned on. It had been a while since he had had to do the chasing with a woman. Being an international sports star had its perks. Women were one of the better ones.
Annie scanned the various drinks in the mini bar fridge. She took out two bottles of Corona, the only beer she recognized in there, found the bottle opener next to the fridge, and popped the tops off both. Remembering that you usually drank Corona with lime, she opened the fridge door and was pleasantly surprised to see freshly cut lime slices in a small bowl. She put a lime slice in each bottle and turned back to Cam, but he wasn’t there.
Making his way out onto one of the suite’s balconies, Cam absorbed the magnificent view before him. He had seen it numerous times and it was as beautiful as ever. He began to wonder what on earth he was doing with Annie. He had never been so unsure when it came to women. Cam was the type of guy to take whatever the girl was willing to give. He always made sure he was a gentleman in and out of the bedroom, as well as making sure they knew it wasn’t going to be a regular occurrence. This was one of the biggest benefits to traveling for a living. Annie had him thinking of something else. Something…more. It had been years since
