“I didn’t expect… Fuck, nothing here is like I expected it to be. I’m having to rethink everything I’ve ever believed about myself, about my family, about you. I made so many assumptions. How could I have been wrong about so many things? I thought my father was just a fucking asshole, and now he’s a killer, but he also tried to protect me, and I didn’t even know.” Cameron took a shaky breath, and I laid a hand on his arm.
“It’s okay. You don’t have to—”
He continued anyway. “I’m so fucking mixed up. I came here intending to sell the bakery, then I saw it and knew I couldn’t let it go. But now I’m not sure I can really make it work. I knew I wanted you, but then that first night when you… talked to me and held me, I liked it, but it was… You felt it too, right?”
No way could I deny it when he was being so open with me. “I did. I never intended to stay, but I needed to, and then…”
“I fucking ruined it.”
“I let you. I was supposed to be in charge, but I ran.”
“You want that again? That connection?”
Lucien and Devil would laugh if they saw how scared I was right then. I fisted my hands so Cameron wouldn’t see them shaking. I’d worried three months with him weren’t going to be enough. Now I knew for sure they wouldn’t be. He was mine. I was keeping him, but I had to make him believe he needed that as much as I did, even when it scared me.
“Yes, but I’m giving you a choice. Things can continue like they have for the last few days, or I can take you to my uncle’s house and we can have more.”
Cameron watched me for the space of several breaths. I convinced myself he was going to refuse to let me care for him the way I wanted to. I wouldn’t give up if he did. I’d fight him, fight for him, make him admit what he needed, but it would be so much easier if he’d just give in.
He brushed his fingers over my cheek, and I bit back a moan. “I want to go to your uncle’s house. I want to finish what we started.”
Thank fuck. “I expect complete and total honesty from you. I want to feel and hear every response. I expect you to forget everything but desire and need and what I can give you.”
“Like I just did when I spread my legs for you on a sunny afternoon in a public place.”
I grinned. “Yes. Exactly like that.”

Angelo led us through the screened-in porch to the back door of his uncle’s house. I thought about how it would be nice to fuck out there with the sound of the waves crashing and the stars shimmering over the ocean once it was dark. But if we did that tonight, it would have to be round two. No way in hell were either of us going to wait that long.
As soon as Angelo picked the lock, he grabbed my hand and practically ran for a guest bedroom. The place looked like a typical beach house—wicker furniture and seashell decor—but I was too focused on Angelo to notice any details.
We both tore off our clothes as soon as we entered the bedroom like we were in a race to see who could get naked first. I expected Angelo to order me onto the bed and tell me what position he wanted me in. I wasn’t even going to pretend I didn’t want to obey. Instead, he shocked the hell out of me by sinking to his knees in front of me. He licked a slow line along the underside of my cock. “I’ve been waiting for the right time to indulge myself.”
Had I heard that right? “Indulge yourself?”
“Fuck yes. I love sucking cock.”
My next question evaporated as he took me into his mouth. The world spun around me as he licked and sucked while cupping and tugging on my balls. I wasn’t sure I could stay on my feet if he kept this up. It felt so fucking good, and the way he smiled around my cock as he looked up at me let me know he was truly enjoying himself.
I held his gaze as he returned to sucking hard, but my vision began to darken around the edges. This was too much. Angelo Marchesi had my cock down his throat. He wanted to possess me, and I wanted to give myself to him. In one week, everything I thought I knew about myself had flipped upside down.
My knees weakened, but Angelo tightened his grip on my hips, holding me up and sucking me for a few seconds more before sitting back. “Are you okay?”
