Page 86 of Cameron's Contract

“How long?” I said.

“Excuse me?”

“How long have you been dating Zie?”

She swallowed hard and blushed. “That’s very presumptive.”

“She tastes amazing, doesn’t she?” I whispered it.

Laura’s blush reached her neck. Her carotid pulse subtly quickened and her stance changed as her thoughts carried her all the way to Zie. Perhaps to last night, or this morning. Wherever her thoughts took her it caused her pupils to dilate, her nipples to harden.

I raised the receipt. “Two margaritas. One blended, just how you like it. The other straight...”

She cringed when she realized.

“Well?” I said.

“Please don’t tell anyone.”

After what I’d put Mia through I was hardly innocent, but Laura didn’t need to know that. “Laura, why not tell me?”

“Zie begged me not too. She really did need to get over you. Her love for you was affecting us.”

“So you’re both hoping to start a family?”

“It’s on hold for now. I need more time.”

“She’s a manipulator. She used you to get to me.”

“How dare you.”

“You’re too far gone to see it.”

“You’re an arrogant ass sometimes.”

“I dated her, Laura. I know Zie very well. I know her M.O.”

“You’re wrong. She loves me.”

“So you’re meeting her for dinner?”

She gave a nod.

“Pass on a message to her from me.”

Her shrug told me she would.

“Tell Zie that if she every contacts me or my family again, which includes Mia, I’ll have a restraining order placed on her.”

“You’re an insensitive bastard, Cameron.”

“Really?”

“Yes, you are.”

“You can’t see it, Laura.”

“See what?”
