âRonnie?â Cam said. âYou let him call you Ronnie?â
Veronica pulled her hand from his. âItâs a nickname he gave me shortly after we met.â
âA nickname you should have suggested he shove up his ass.â
âIs that what you kept me in here to say?â She didnât look amused, which was fine, because Cam didnât feel amused.
âI meant what I wrote on that paper. He never deserved you.â
âYou donât even know him.â
âNo, but I know you.â
Golden brows arched high. âReally? We met thirty-six hours ago.â
An irrelevant point. âYouâre far more beautiful than the sprite of a woman heâs marrying.â
âDonât let the no makeup and ponytail fool you,â she said, rounding the desk and putting more distance between them than he liked. âJesse is gorgeous.â
âRegardless. I donât like him.â
âWhy?â
Cam crossed his arms. âI donât like the way he treats you.â
âThe way he treats me?â
âYes.â
Veronica mimicked his stance. âAnd how is that?â
âLike he never loved you.â Hurt filled her eyes, and Cam regretted the words immediately. âIâm sorry. I shouldnât have said that.â
âDonât apologize.â She melted into the chair her ex had just vacated. âItâs true, after all. I just thought I was the only one who noticed.â
âI saw the difference when you walked in,â he explained, measuring his words to be gentler. âYesterday you were unapologetic. Alive in a way I rarely encounter. Today, you seemed to be turning yourself down. I prefer the way you were yesterday.â
Watching him with narrowed eyes, she said, âThere you go again.â
âThere I go again what?â
âDisplaying that astute nature in a way that makes all my girly bits quiver.â
Cam wasnât sure what that meant, but it sounded positive.
âQuiver?â he said, closing the distance between them. âIn a good way?â
The low, sensual laugh jerked his body to attention. âA very good way.â
He stood before her and offered his hand. Heâd not given her a choice yesterday. This time sheâd come to him. And she did. Sliding her hand into his, Veronica stood and pressed herself against him.
âArenât you supposed to be doing math?â she asked, eyes locked on his mouth.
âFuck math.â
Their lips met, hotter and headier than the day before, and when her tongue pressed for entry, he happily complied. She tasted of coffee and peppermint, and he knew heâd never experience either the same way again. Cam dropped onto the edge of the desk, pulling Veronica between his legs. She arched against him, making him grow harder by the second.
When he broke the kiss to trail his lips along her jaw, she moaned in protest but arched higher, tilting her chin to give him access to her delicate neck. Cam licked a spot beneath her ear, and she shuddered.
âYou like that?â
Another moan escaped, which he took as a yes. The front of her sweater dipped low, and he caught a glimpse of lace and silk. Cam slid a hand beneath the hem of the bulky garment and caressed along her ribs until he located the slip of lace. He cupped her breast, and moans turned to a growl.
