《Hiding Places ✅》24

Bas, Brooke and Brayden join Genevieve and I back at my house. Paulette heads straight to the kitchen excited that I have guests other than my family.

"So now I know why Honey is never at home" Bas says as he inspects every corner of my lounge room. "Holy crap! Is that a signed baseball?"

"Cameron's brother is Oscar Cunningham pitcher for the Red Sox" Genevieve fills in the blanks for her brother.

"That is brilliant!" Bas says finally finding the a seat on the couch.

"This is seriously your house?" Brayden asks.

"Yes" I say simply earning a smile from Genevieve.

"So Honey what do you do?" Brayden asks as Paulette brings in a cheese plate and five glasses of wine.

"Thank you Paulette," Genevieve starts, "I'm an architect. I'm Head Architect at Cunningham & Associates. Cameron is my boss"

"He is more than that right?"

"Yes," Genevieve snakes her arm around my waist and I kiss her forehead, "He is also my boyfriend."

Brayden looks up at me, "Do I need to give you the 'what are your intentions' speech?"

"Don't worry man I already did" Bas says and Genevieve steps away from me to hit her brother.

"Yes and I sure he was terrified, you big git."

Paulette prepares dinner for us and the four of us get to know Brayden. After dinner Bas takes Brooke and Brayden in Genevieve's car and then Genevieve and I head up to my bedroom.

"I need to thank you Cameron."

"You never need to thank me love. I'll do anything for you"

"We haven't really know each other very long but I don't know what I'd do without you"

"You will never need to find out. I'm never letting you go Genevieve. You are mine"

"And you are mine"

...

The next few weeks pass as normal except for two major differences. One, I have another brother and two, my mother may or may not be alive. Cameron and I made our relationship public at the company which means Cameron is much more possessive at work. I'm now getting some glares and cold shoulders from the female staff which Cameron actually finds funny. Caleb has gone back to calling me 'Miss Reynolds' all the time to avoid Cameron's wrath even though I told him I would take care of him.

"Miss Reynolds, Mr Wells is here to see you."

"Caleb! Send him in and you come in too!"

The two men walk through my door.

"Hi Carter, take a seat. Caleb how many time have I told you to call me Honey?"

"But Mr Cunningham -"

"I don't give a shit what Cameron thinks. Call me Honey or if that bugs you Genevieve. I will handle Cameron."

Caleb makes eye contact with me and smiles. "Ok Honey."

"Thank you. Now do you mind getting Carter and I a coffee please?"

"No problem."

I settle down at my desk and Carter laughs. "So the company know now?"

"Yes and if it is possible Cameron is even more insufferable. Poor Caleb is scared stiff of him, I honestly don't know why..."

"I can think of a reason" Carter says rubbing his nose reminding me where Cameron punched him. "Is he going to be ok with this?" he point between the two of us, "Me working alone with his girl."

"Do I have to give you the same speech I gave Caleb?"

The two of us are laughing when Caleb comes back in with our coffees. He tells me that Mr Cunningham is looking for me. Of course he is. Caleb excuses himself for the afternoon to head to campus.

"Enjoy your afternoon Caleb" Carter says as Caleb leaves my office, "Call Cameron Honey otherwise he will barge in here and we will never get any work done."

"Very well" I press the intercom button to Cameron's office.

"Cunningham."

"Reynolds."

"Genevieve?"

"I heard from my terrified assistant that you were looking for me. Did you think to look in my office or do your legs not work?" Carter chuckles softly as my question.

"Are you busy?"

"Always Cameron that is why they call it work. I'm going over plans with Carter. I'll come to your office when I'm done."

"I'll come round -"

"If you step foot in my office while I'm in this meeting you will be sleeping alone for the next week" I snap and Carter smirks.

"But-"

"I mean it Cam! I'll be in your office in an hour."

"Genevieve..."

"Do some work" I say before I disconnect the call. I smile at Carter, "See I can handle him."

Carter and I discuss the High Street project and I organise a time to come and view the construction sight up close. Once we are finished our business talk he tells me how he met a girl and they have been on two dates. He seems fairly smitten which makes me happy. He hugs me before saying his goodbyes and leaving the tower. I walk straight into Cameron's office without knocking to find his eyebrows furrowed staring at his computer.

"Need help reading the hard words?" I tease as I shut the door behind me.

Cameron looks up and his eyes narrow at me, "You and your mouth. Is he gone?"

"Carter? Yes. He told me about the progress of the High Street project and I'm going out there tomorrow to have a look."

"I'm coming with you."

"Cameron..."

"Hey I didn't come into your office please just give me this."

"Fine."

"Good, now come here Miss Reynolds I have something important to discuss with you" I walk over to Cameron's desk and I squeal as he pulls me down into his lap. "I don't like when my employees talk back. I think maybe you need to be punished" I giggle as he presses kisses along my jaw and down my neck to my collarbone. He stops and sucks part of my neck leaving what is sure to be a sizeable hickey. A knock at the door has me trying to jump off his lap but he holds me there. He tells the person to come in and Linda from Legal enters. She smirks before looking down at her shoes.

"I'm very sorry Mr Cunningham I didn't realise you were... busy."

"That is quite alright Linda. Miss Reynolds and I were about to head home for the day. What can I help you with?"

"I have the contracts from the London office that require your signature, Mr Cunningham was hoping they could be returned close of business London time."

"Oh of course do you mind putting them on my desk I'll sign them now" I make a move to jump off Cameron's lap but he holds on to me tight and bite my earlobe. He whispers into my ear, "I'm not letting you go until you have been properly punished." His low growl causes my body to heat up and make me feel like I should be changing my panties.

"Cameron I'll go get my things while you sign the contracts that way we can get out of here quicker" I offer and with a sigh Cameron releases me. I head back to my office quickly packing my things into my handbag. Half of my wardrobe is now at Cameron's and while I miss driving my Charger, which Bas has adopted, I am quite fond of holding onto Cameron on the back of his bike. Once I have everything I head back to Cameron's office to find Linda standing outside the door. I look at her curiously and she tells me he is on the phone. We stand in silence before Linda speaks again.

"He'll get bored of you" she says bluntly. "I'm not even sure what he sees in you."

Even though I'm feeling the need to punch her I plaster a smile on my face. "How about I get those contracts for you?"

I step passed her and into Cameron's office. His back is to the door with the phone pressed to his ear. I catch the end of his conversation.

"Yes Kate, Genevieve is well... alright... I will talk to you soon... Bye Kate" Cameron ends the call and his chair spins around to face me. His eyes lock with mine and his face tells me what I already know.

My mother is alive...
