gentle lover of last night was clearly gone, and she had no idea how to reach him again. But she did know if she was going to move to Miami with her son, she wanted at least a shot at some kind of real relationship with Cam.
She wanted that picture-perfect family sheâd always fantasized about. She knew she should try to break the ice but talking to him about Ty wasnât the way. Cam had demonstrated he was too volatile where their son was concerned.
Once they were in the air and could get up and move around, she took off Tyâs seatbelt, but he was sleepy and nodding off in his car seat.
âThereâs a bed in the back,â Cam said. âI can lay him down.â
âUmâ¦let me see the bed. Weâll probably have to pile up some pillows around him. I donât want him to fall off.â
Cam nodded. She reached over to unlatch the car seat and Cam was waiting right there. âI want to carry him.â
âOf course,â she said. Cam had been like this all day. He was genuinely trying to get to know his son, and she had been very careful to let him.
Cam lifted him, and his blanket fell to the ground. Becca picked it up and then followed them to the bed at the back of the jet. It was luxuriously appointed and very comfortable-looking. He laid Ty in the center of the bed, and they worked to put some pillows around him so he wouldnât roll off the bed.
âI am amazed that I have a son,â Cam said.
âI am, too. Heâs such a precious little gift. Iâ¦my life changed the moment he came into it.â
âI bet it did,â Cam said.
He moved to leave the bed area, and she followed him. The jet pitched as they hit a pocket of turbulence, and Becca fell forward into Cam. He wrapped one arm around her as he fought to find his balance and keep them both on their feet. When the plane steadied, she looked up at him and he was staring down at her. âThank you.â
âNo problem,â he said, but he didnât let her go. âI canât believe we are in this situation, Becca.â
âWhat situation?â she asked. âBeing parents?â
He shrugged. âThat, but also moving in together. I still want you.â
âI think we need to figure out how to be parents before we do anything else,â she said.
âI would agree except for a pressing problem,â he said.
âAnd that is?â
âI canât look at you without wanting to kiss you and make love to you. I want to strip you naked and take out all my frustrations over your actions on your lovely body.â
âSexual revenge?â she asked. His words thrilled her, sent molten heat pooling between her legs and made her nipples hard. Sheâd be lying if she said she didnât want Cam. That he wasnât the only man she thought of night and day.
âYes,â he said.
She shook her head. âWould you forgive me if I gave in?â
âI donât know. I think so.â
She didnât know if she could do what he was asking. Being in his arms was one thing; knowing he wanted her just as some sort of way of getting back at herâ¦well that wasnât exactly what she was into.
âThink about this,â he said, lowering his head. His mouth took hers slowly and gently. She felt the warmth of his breath over her lips and then the first foray of his tongue rubbing over hers. His hand tightened on her waist and the other one went up to the back of her neck.
His fingers tunneled through her hair, and he held her head firmly in his grip as they continued to kiss. She wanted to think that this wasnât making her agree with his idea, but it was. It reminded her of how long it had been since sheâd had a lover. And she wanted him; she wanted release.
She put her hands on his shoulders and slid them down his arms. He was strong and muscled, and she liked the way he felt under her touch. She continued touching him, finding his belt
