as she’d dreamed after all.

Chapter Six

    Cam walked outside on the front porch and leaned against the railing with his hands. When Lacy had taken off running up the stairs all he could see was her sprawled at the bottom, broken and hurt. It had scared him to death.
    He shouldn’t have yelled at her, but he had been upset. He should have held her and made her promise never to run up or down the stairs, instead of biting her head off. He felt ashamed for how he’d treated her. He needed to get hold of his fears. Ever since they’d found out just how dangerous the planet could be, he had worried for any woman who they ended up with. How could they impress on them the importance of being careful and not straying from the yard?
    And what happened if the animals started getting ambitious and began moving in closer to the house? Maybe he was just borrowing trouble. As the oldest, he felt like it was up to him to be sure they all stayed safe and healthy. Still, he’d gone about it the wrong way with Lacy. He needed to apologize.
    Cam sighed and pulled away from the railing to go back inside. He locked the door behind him and turned off the light in the living room as he passed and climbed the stairs. When he walked back into the bedroom, he found Phillip pulling off his clothes, but no sign of Lacy.
    “Where is she?” he asked.
    “She’s taking a shower. She didn’t ask me to join her, so I figured she needed to be alone to calm down.” Phillip looked at him. “You were rough on her. She wasn’t expecting you to yell at her.”
    “I know. I need to apologize. I overreacted, I know. But when she ran up the stairs, all I could see was her falling down the stairs and breaking something.”
    “It scared me, too,” Phillip admitted.
    “Still, I shouldn’t have reacted like that. There were better ways to tell her not to run like that.”
    “Why don’t you join her in the shower and tell her?” Phillip pulled back the covers on the bed and sat on the side of the bed. “She’s had time to calm down now.”
    “Ah, hell. Was she crying?” Cam asked.
    “Just before, but she didn’t cry in front of me.”
    Cam nodded and pulled off his clothes. He walked naked into the bathroom and slipped into the shower behind Lacy. She was massaging shampoo into her hair. He took over. After jumping, she removed her hands and let him do it.
    He leaned in and whispered in her ear, “I’m sorry, baby. I overreacted. You scared me running up the stairs like that.”
    “I’m sorry. I didn’t think anything of it. I’ve done it a thousand times at home.”
    He could hear the watery sound of tears in her voice. It pinched something inside of him.
    “It’s okay. I should have just told you not to do it again, but I jumped on you instead.” Cam continued to scrub her head then slowly moved down her neck to massage her neck and shoulders.
    He turned her around and kissed her softly on the lips before walking her backward until the water cascaded over her head. She rinsed her hair. Cam walked her back again until the water was no longer spraying her in the face, and bent to take her mouth in a desperate kiss. He tried to put all of his feelings into that kiss.
    He wanted her to know she was special to him and he worried about her. He licked along the roof of her mouth and explored her teeth and cheeks before sucking on her tongue. She moaned, and he lifted her leg to wrap it around his hips and guided his hardened cock into her tight cunt. Her eyes flew open when he shoved himself halfway in, then pulled out and slammed all the way inside of her.
    She held on tight to him as he began to pummel her with his cock. One hand held her ass cheek tight enough that he was sure she would have a red spot. The other hand held her leg to his hip. In and out, over and over, Cam pierced her body with his rock-hard dick. He grimaced each time he bumped her womb.
    Her climax rolled over her. She cried out and clamped down on his dick until he
