I clench my jaw, glancing around in search of any man she might be here with.
And that’s when I see Killian Callaghan slip out of the dressing room and skirt past Camilla at lightning speed.
A few moments later, her sister, Mia Morrone, slips out, adjusting her skirt.
I arch a brow and watch as Mia approaches her sister as if she didn’t just slip out of the changing room where she was with Killian. Camilla appears completely unaware.
Camilla glances in my direction, but I dart quickly out of her sight behind the mannequin.
She doesn’t see me, thankfully, but the look on her face suggests she can feel me watching her.
I’m going to have to be more careful if I don’t want to get caught.
A shop assistance clocks me and makes her way toward where I’m hiding.
It’s at that point I realize I’m hiding in the fucking lingerie section looking like some kind of creep.
“Can I help you, sir?” she asks.
I shake my head. “No, thanks.” I pretend to be looking at some bras. I mean men by underwear for their girlfriends all the time. It’s not that weird.
“Are you sure? I assume you’re shopping for someone special?”
I grit my teeth. “Yeah, my girlfriend.”
The woman looks a little skeptical, but nods. “Anything you want in particular?”
“You know what, when I said I don’t need help, I meant it.”
Her eyes widen at my tone, but she’s getting in the way right now. I don’t need her bringing attention to me. “Okay, give me a shout if you need anything.” She walks away and I dart back toward the mannequin to check for Camilla.
She’s gone.
“Fuck’s sake.” I pull my cell phone out of my pocket and check the tracking to find she’s left the building.
I race out of Bloomingdale’s and take a left, following them down the street. Their bodyguard remains with them, but always a few steps behind. They take a left down a smaller street and then stop in front of a little Italian restaurant before disappearing inside.
Great.
There’s no way I can go inside without being spotted, so I go into the cafe opposite instead and pick a table by the window.
Camilla may not be with a man at the moment, but I intend to keep an eye on her for a couple of days, no matter how crazy that makes me.
I’ve never been so possessive of a woman before, but it means nothing.
She’s the perfect sub, and that’s why I want her all to myself.
At least, that’s what I’m trying to tell myself.

CAMILLA
“I’ve missed this,” Mia says, drawing my attention to her over the rack we’re both sorting through.
I smirk. “Don’t pretend like you haven’t been to Bloomingdale’s countless times since I’ve been at the academy.”
There’s no way Mia can stay away that long. She’s a shopping addict.
