《Hiding Places ✅》12

I sit down next to Carter who is lying unconscious on my bed. Cameron is sitting on the lounge with Brooke attending to his hand. He locks eyes with mine and opens his mouth about to say something. Before he can I hold up my hand to stop him.
"Don't Cameron"
"Genevieve please..."
"You hit him!"
"He kissed you!"
Bas and Brooke remain silent during our argument looking at each other for support. I shake my head trying to understand the last thirty minutes.
***flashback***
"Thank you for coming out with me tonight Honey" Carter says as he pulls his car up on the curb outside my apartment. I notice in the rear view mirror a black SUV pull up behind us. Well there's John...
"Thank you for inviting me"
"Can I walk you up?"
"Of course"
Carter gets out of the car quickly and comes around to my door. He offers me his hand which I take and we enter my building. We start the walk up the stairs in silence. Tonight had been lovely Carter is a great guy. I don't quite feel as attracted to Carter as I do to... ARGH! Don't think about him. I look at Carter in front of me and notice his gaze on my lips. His eyes flick back to mine asking for permission. I move closer licking my bottom lip. He cups my face in his hand and brings his lips down to mine. His tongue requests entry which I give without a second thought. I hear someone clear their throat behind me.
"Sorry to ruin the moment Honey" Bas's voice pulls me away from Carter. "I guess you guys ha-"
Bas doesn't get to finish and that is when I see Cameron, his fist collides with Carter's nose. Carter fall back automatically unconscious.

"CAMERON!"
***
The only thing worse than your goodnight kiss being interrupted by your brother is your goodnight kiss being interrupted by your jealous boss. I change the ice pack on Carter's face and notice the purple bruise forming on the bridge of his very swollen nose. I run my hand through his hair and I hear Cameron mutter something under his breath I turn to face him and glare at him making sure he knows how angry I am. I don't know what the hell he wants from me! I just wish that if he liked me he would just tell me how he feels I'm sick of the jealous comments, the anger, the flirting, the overprotectiveness all it does is make me feel things and then I end up feeling broken. When I moved to Boston I swore off men maybe I need to go back to that.
Carter starts to wake and I put my hand on his arm.
"Honey?"
"I'm here Carter. Are you ok?"
"Uh my ego is a little bruised but I think I'm alright. How does it look?" he asks giving me a heart melting smile.
"Very manly" I say playful poking him. Cameron coughs behind me and Carter sits upright and wraps his arm around my waist staking his claim.
"Mr Wells Cunningham & Associates will no longer require your services" Cameron says bluntly glaring at Carter.
"Cameron..."
"It's fine Honey. I don't need the job" Carter says gently.
"No!" I say standing up. "Cameron stop being an arse!" Brooke gasps at my words to our boss but in this moment I don't give a shit that he is my boss. "You know that Carter's company is perfect for the High Street project. The project is mine and it is my decision who we hire. Now if you are done assaulting my guest please leave!"

"I came here to talk to you" Cameron says standing from the couch.
"I don't care!"
"Honey hear him out" Bas offers.
"But -"
"Honey it is ok. I'm going to go home and rest my ego I'll call you tomorrow... well today" Carter says. He lifts himself off my bed and walks over to where I'm now standing. He places a kiss on my cheek and I watch Cameron form a fist. Seeing his reaction I find a new confidence I cup Carter's face pulling his lips to mine. Carter chuckles against my lips as we break apart. "Goodnight beautiful"
The four of us watch Carter leave and then stand in awkward silence.
"Well" Brooke begins, "Bas is going to drive me home. So you guys... talk" She picks the keys to my car up off the kitchen bench and throws them at Bas.
"No funny business you two" Bas say winking at me before shutting the door.
Cameron goes back to sitting on the couch and it bugs me a little how comfortable it is to have him in my home. I walk to the kitchen fill the kettle with water and place it on the stove.
"Tea?"
Cameron looks over at me from the couch and smiles. "Please" I busy myself with getting mug and getting the tea out of the pantry that I don't notice Cameron is behind me until his arm wrap around my waist. I try hard to step out of his grasp but he holds me tighter. "Don't fight it Genevieve"
"Cameron"
"When I saw you kissing him I couldn't control myself. I want you Genevieve. I need you"
"Don't ...please."
Pulling me closer he begins to trail kisses down my neck. I feel my body relax and I tilt my head allowing him more access.
"Cameron"
His torturous kisses continue. A small moan escapes my lips and I feel him growl into my collarbone. Cameron's hand explore every inch of my body and they reach the hem of my dress. His hand pushes my dress up and moves to rest on my arse.
"Cameron" I whisper not knowing whether I want him to stop of keep going.
"Tell me to stop Genevieve"
