"Tell me to stop Genevieve"
The sound of the whistling kettle snaps Cameron out of his kissing trail. The sudden relief gives me a chance to compose myself. I quickly hurry back to my job of making tea.
"Do you take milk?"
"Genevieve"
"Or sugar?"
"Genevieve"
"Lemon?"
"GENEVIEVE" his voice and body language is angry causing me to jump.
"Cameron I can't do this. I don't know what you want from me"
"I want you"
"What about Claudia?"
"She was never anything to me and I was never anything to her. We had no relationship"
"What about... Carter?"
Cameron's hands form fists again and his expression turns serious. "What about him Genevieve?"
"I went out with him. I kissed him. I -"
"Are you attracted to him?" He asks and I say nothing. I'm attracted to you! I want to scream but I keep my mouth shut. "Answer me Genevieve" Cameron orders. He runs his hand down my side to the hem of my dress. Before I realise what is happening his hand is on my panties. "You're turned on now Genevieve is that for him?"
I sigh out the breath I didn't know I was holding. "No" I whisper.
"Say it louder Genevieve"
"N-No" I croak out. Cameron moves immediately to kiss me but it takes all my strength to keep him at arms length. "I need t-to tell him Cameron. I-It is only fair" I say quietly. Cameron's hand cups my face and I lean my cheek into him.
"You are to kind for your own good"
"If I do this Cameron. If we... you can't hurt me. I won't be able to take it."
"I promise"
....
"Morning Honey." Caleb enters my office with my coffee in his hand.

"Morning" I say unable to stop smiling.
"I needed to ask you if it is ok for me to go to campus today. I have an exam next week and need to study."
"Of course Caleb take whatever time you need. Just text next time"
"Thank Honey and Mr Wells is here to see you"
I try my best to keep my smile on my face but I can't. Carter is a nice guy and I have to tell him we can't see each other.
"Uh thanks Caleb let him in on your way out" You can't hide now Honey.
Carter strolls through me door as Caleb exits.
"Morning gorgeous"
"Hi Carter" I say my voice void of emotion.
"Wow that bad huh?" He says with a signature smiles.
"I need to talk to you" his smile drops. He nods understanding straight away.
"Cunningham?" He guesses straight away and I nod.
"I'm sorry Carter. I had a lovely time last night and you are a lovely guy. I understand if you want to pull the contract"
"Honey. I had a great time too. I wasn't lying when I said you were a great architect. You have great ideas and I can't wait to spend time with you even if it is only professionally"
I wrap my arms around his neck and hug him. I pull away and blush. "Sorry that wasn't very professional uh... friends" I offer my hand.
"Friends" Carter says shaking my hand.
My office door flies open, "Where the hell is your useless assistant?" Cameron's voice enters the room. He stops and looks at Carter with a smirk on his face. God he is arrogant sometimes.
"Caleb is studying for an exam I gave him the time off. Did you need something Cameron?"

Cameron walks over to me pulling me into his side. He places a kiss in my hair. "I came to get you we have a board meeting in ten"
I step out of his hold, "Ok I'll meet you there" Cameron studies my face. He makes no move to leave. "Go Cameron. I'll be there in a second" I say with force. He bends his head placing a chaste kiss on my lips before leaving my office. I look back at Carter embarrassed. "I'm sorry Carter"
"All that was left for him to do was pee on you" Carter says laughing, "Make sure he is good to you Honey. You deserve the best."
Carter and I say goodbye and I collect my files for the board meeting. I make my way to the glass conference room. Cameron meets me outside.
"So?" He questions and I nod. He face breaks out in a grin. He is gorgeous when he smiles! He makes a move to kiss me but I stop him. He looks at my angrily.
"Cameron. Not in the office. Professional. Please" I say and he grunts moving straight inside the conference room. I take my seat at the table on Cameron's right.
Cameron starts the meeting and a lot of the time it is just department heads arguing. I never need to say much. I feel myself zoning out when a hand lands on my thigh. My breath stops and I turn to face Cameron who seems to be concentrating on the discussion. His hand moves higher and I notice the corners of his lips tug up as he listens. No longer able to concentrate I simply stare off into space as Cameron's hand caresses my thigh.
"Miss Reynolds?" Everyone's eyes turn to me.
"Sorry what?"
Cameron turns to me with a smirk, "Rob asked for an update on the High Street project" as he talks his hand rubs up and down my leg.
I clear my throats trying to gain some composure. "Right. Yes. We have hired Wells Construction and it should get underway next month weather permitting"
"Good. Well I think we have covered everything. Let's get back to it." Cameron says ending the meeting. Everyone starts to leave the room and I sit frozen with Cameron's hand in my lap. I grab his hand pulling it off my thigh.
"Problem Miss Reynolds?" Cameron asks his smirk bigger than ever. I ignore him gathering up my things and leaving the room. He follows me and pulls me into his office. "Genevieve"
"I take my job seriously Cameron. You made me look like a fool!"
"You liked it though..."
"That's not even the point Cameron" I say and he rolls his eyes.
"Get your bag" he orders.
"Excuse me?"
"I'm taking you out"
"But we are working"
"I'm the boss" he says simply. Cameron grabs my hand and leads me out. His hand feels so good around mine in this moment I don't even care who sees.
