you. And it's not fair of me to ask you to risk it."
    I said nothing, hoping he'd continue.
    "So, if you want to call this off, if you want me to leave you alone, just say the word."
    The thought of missing out on whatever this was with Campbell was more than I could handle. Without hesitation, I shook my head as I focused my eyes on his.
    "I'm into you, too," I said. "A lot."
    Campbell closed the space between us, whispering into my ear. "Then be with me."
    I swallowed hard, closing my eyes and listening to his words. Craving them, wanting more. Wanting his hands on me. Knowing that'd be next to impossible out here in the public eye. Knowing that finding actual privacy would be just as impossible.
    His hand was warm in my grip. I squeezed it in solidarity, wanting him to know his desire for me was reciprocated. He placed a gentle kiss on the tip of my ear, before leading me across the stone bridge.
    Hand in hand we walked, gazing at the water, the tourists, and the shop owners of the market. We didn't say much, which felt odd at first, but the silence between us became soothing and calm. His hand in mine, the way his thumb grazed over my fingers, was all I needed to feel content.
    Street lamps were the only light to be found by the time the water bus was back in our sights. Campbell stopped walking. His eyes were on fire as he took me in with his eyes. His need for me was obvious.
    "Come with me," he said, pulling me to the side of a building. One small street lamp shined dim with burnt orange light. I leaned my back against the stucco, feeling its cold, bumpy texture. Campbell placed his hand against the building, just above my shoulder. His other hand pressed to my hip.
    "I can't let you go yet," he said, his eyes searching mine.
    Brave Auden finally decided to make her appearance.
    "Good," I said, lifting my chin. His eyes widened, pleased with my response.
    "Why?" he asked, exploring my neck with his lips.
    "Why what?" I played dumb, yanking back the control once again.
    "Why is that good?" he asked, placing gentle kisses along my jaw line.
    "Because..." That simple word hung in the air for several moments. Campbell continued to seduce my skin with his lips and I did my best to slow down my breathing.
    "Tell me.”
    "Because..."
    "Tell me," he repeated.
    "I want you.” The words left my mouth in a whisper.
    Campbell stopped his kisses, and I could feel his cheek against my neck. It was puffing out, forming a satisfied smile.
    "Tell me again," he pulled back, gazing into my eyes.
    I swallowed, unsure if I should say it again but terrified at the thought of not saying it.
    "I-I...I want you.” I was trying desperately to hide my fear, my anxiety, my lack of self-control around this man.
    "You're exquisite." His fingers drifted down the sides of my face before he cupped his hands to my cheeks and kissed me. Hard.
    His tongue entered my mouth immediately and I stroked him with mine. Delicious strokes that left me wanting more. And more. His fingers wove through my hair, pulling gently at the base of my scalp. My back dug into the stucco, but I didn't care.
    Harder and harder he pressed me into the building, my arms wrapped around his neck as his hands wandered down to grip my ass, hoisting my legs around him, my heels digging into the small of his back. He was hard beneath his jeans and the feel of him was intoxicating.
    Campbell pulled his mouth from mine, pushing me up further so that his lips were level with my chest. Slowly, he unbuttoned the top buttons of my tunic, exposing the lace of my bra.
    "So sexy," he said, running his fingers across the lace, causing goose bumps to rise along my arms and legs.
    "Say it again," I said, enjoying his appreciation of my body.
    "You're so fucking sexy I can hardly stand it."
    "You want me, don't you?" I smirked, teasing him.
    "You know I do," he said, before dipping his head to my chest, stroking the skin beneath the lace with his tongue. A moan escaped my lips as I pressed my hips
