had it all planned. I knew exactly what I wanted to say to them. Then, just as I was expecting them to call me, I got a phone call telling me my parents’ private plane had crashed, just out of Nashville.”
Cam was stunned. He continued to look long and hard at Annie, waiting for her to say more.
“There were no survivors,” she whispered.
“Annie, I’m so sorry.” Cam meant it too. He would be shattered if anything similar would happen to his parents.
Annie looked up and gave him a sad smile. His hand was still on the side of her face, his thumb lightly rubbing her cheek. He was waiting for tears to roll but they never did.
“Girlfriends?” Annie surprised him with her statement.
Cam took a step back and sat on the other lounge chair. “What about them?” he questioned.
“Have you had any?” said Annie.
“Only two that were serious,” he said. “The first was my high school sweetheart. First love and all that. The second was a girl I met on the tour. She worked for one of the sponsors so I saw her more often.”
“Was it serious?” she asked him.
Cam shrugged his shoulders. “More serious for her than it was for me. Ultimately, that was the reason we broke up. I’m not one for commitment. The travel is a killer.”
Annie looked from Cam down to her drink. She didn’t know what to think of his statement or why she even cared that he wasn’t looking for commitment.
“What about you? Any significant others I should know about?” Cam asked with a smirk. He was being a cocky S.O.B, but he needed to know what or whom he was up against.
“No. No one at all. Not now anyway,” Annie replied.
“But, there has been someone?”
“Of course there has been someone. Just no one who thought I was his first choice. And absolutely no one who has rocked my world enough for me to want the happily ever after with them.”
“That’s what you want? The happily ever after?”
Annie stopped and thought for a moment, then looked up at Cam lounging back in the seat opposite her. She got up, walked over, and stood in front of him, never breaking eye contact. Taking a deep breath, she moved and straddled her legs either side of his and sat on his lap, face to face with the famous surfer. Cam inhaled sharply and shifted a little in his seat. He could feel himself getting hard already.
“Of course I want the happily ever after,” she said with all seriousness.
Cam’s expression remained neutral. He didn’t believe he had the capacity to do ‘forever’. He also didn’t want to scare Annie away, especially now, as she was right where he wanted her.
“But….” she started.
“But…?” Cam asked her.
“I’m ready for my world to be well and truly rocked.” Annie smiled at him and bit her bottom lip with her front teeth. Cam had reached around her waist and pulled her in to him. Noses nearly touching, Annie nervously giggled and bit her lip in anticipation.
“Now, that is something I know I can help with,” Cam said while looking directly into her deep brown eyes. His hand slowly swept up her back and to Annie’s ponytail. He slowly pulled out the hair tie holding back her golden curls and threw it on the ground.
Cam’s hand returned to the back of her head. He stared into Annie’s eyes and before she realized what he was doing, Cam had taken her mouth with his. Full, hard, and holding nothing back. Annie took on the assault and matched him. Their tongues mated together furiously, not being able to get enough of the other. Cam placed his hands under her ass and lifted her up. Annie wrapped her legs tightly around his waist as he moved back inside the hotel suite and in the direction of the bedroom.
Cam lay her in the middle of the massive king size bed. He kicked off his flip-flops, reached behind, and pulled his T-shirt over his head, throwing it on the floor. Her mouth went dry when she saw the beautifully tanned and sculpted body in front of her. Annie scooted back toward the head of
