Never Kiss A Bad Boy: A Bad Boy Secret Baby Romance Page 3


  When I got back to the apartment though, the doorman told me all about the hot tiny little blonde that he had let go up earlier. I was thankful that she was still there, but again I felt a little like I was being intruded on. I didn’t like that everyone knew my business, or that Manny imagined what I had planned for her. When did my love life and appetites become so common that everyone around me knew?

  I mentally pushed it all away and thought of the task at hand. Marie was by the door when I got there. She always did that and I will never know how she always knew when I was going to be back. She took my coat and asked me how court went. Marie didn’t want the details, more my current mood so that she would know what was desired from her. If I was in a bad mood, a look will usually have her scurrying away. She would come back with a drink a few minutes later and leave again.

  My mood was a good one today. All I could think about was how much I wanted to see Cameron.

  “Court was good. How is our guest doing?”

  “I haven’t heard a peep out of her since she got here. She seems nice and I think that was the first time I didn’t have a request. She actually said thank you. Where did you find this one at?”

  Her question made me smile and I had to admit that I had brought some rude women home. It always irked me, but some I would never know about until Marie told me about it later. A lot could be gleaned by how someone treated others in private. I had decided not to see some women again because of it. I don’t know why I liked the idea of Cameron actually being kind. I had known when I met her that something was different about her.

  I made my way down to the rose room and stopped at the door. I knocked gently and waited to hear any sounds from the other side of the door. I didn’t and I checked the knob, pushing it in and calling out her name. I didn’t think she was still sleeping.

  When I didn’t hear her or see her on the bed, there was a moment of actual panic when I was afraid that she wouldn’t be there. Had she left and I didn’t even get to see her?

  I walked into the room and looked around. It was then that I noted the bathroom door slightly ajar and I took a step closer. Something told me not to say anything out loud and I didn’t. I don’t know why, but I had a feeling that it was because of something else.

  Then I saw Cameron pass close enough to pick up her reflection in the mirror. I was stunned into silence and my feet were frozen where I stood. She didn’t know that I could see her and I felt guilt rise up, at the same time I told myself that I never wanted to look away. How could someone look away from something like that? She was curved in all the right places and her tits were larger than the rest of her body. The creamy mounds call to me, the pale pink nipples jutting out so perfectly.

  I don’t know how she didn’t see me, but when she turned the water on in the shower, it pulled me back to my senses and I made my way out of there before I got caught in the compromising condition. If she was anyone else, I would have gone to her, but something was holding me back from doing what I wanted to do with her. I was holding this woman that I met on the side of the road to a higher standard and I still wasn’t sure why that was.

  Leaving the girl’s room, I went back down to the kitchen and had Marie make up a few sandwiches. I wanted a reason to go see her when she was done, even though before I wouldn’t have needed one. What was wrong with me today?

  “Did you need anything else Grey?”

  I told Marie that I didn’t and she seemed rather surprised that I was willing to take it up there myself. She was the maid after all and I was supposed to let her do her job. I always had before, but now things were different. I wanted some privacy with Cameron and she had appeared to like that I was capable before, even when it was just filling her car up with fluid. I have heard good things about men that cook.

  Knocking on the door, this time knowing that I shouldn’t just charge in, I waited for her to answer. I was still thinking about what I had seen earlier when I caught her getting into the shower and it was hard to push the thoughts from my head. She was beautiful and when she opened the door to greet me, it was all I could still see. As far as I was concerned, she was standing just as naked as she was then.

  “I thought you might be hungry. Would you like something to eat?”

  She grinned and opened the door wider. Cameron was now dressed and I had to say that I didn’t like it better than how I had seen her before. My eyes could still make her bare, but it was harder now that she was watching me.

  “I can’t thank you enough for letting me get a couple of hours of sleep. I feel so much better now. That ride was just long and horrendous. I was warned about how rude and mean New Yorkers were, but then I met you Grey and you have changed my opinion on it all.”

  “Well, not everyone is like me Cameron. I like to think that I have something unique to supply.”

  “I know you are different Grey. I could see that as soon as I met you, but I think it is a good different and I am thankful to have met you. I will take your offer of a sandwich from you, but I will be out of here in just a bit. I don’t want to take advantage of your kindness.”

  Panic rose up and I didn’t want her to go. Why did I want her to stay more than Kaika with the magic tongue?

  “You are leaving so soon? Are you sure you got enough rest?”

  She smiled and told me that she had. The smile transformed her face and gave her the cutest dimple in her cheek. God, she was so innocent in the way that she looked at me. I could tell that she wasn’t like the other women that I had dated in the past. Cameron saw past the illusion and it was like her blue eyes actually saw me. Not the money or the suit, but the man behind it all. I had never felt so vulnerable, but happy in the same instance to finally be seen. This woman was messing with my head and I turned away to break the contact. It felt like it broke the spell she had cast over me as well.

  “Have you found a room for tonight? New York can be hard to manage if you don’t have a plan.”

  It was true and I was worried about her, but at the end of the day I just didn’t want to see her go yet. There was some reason that she had been dropped into my lap and I was anxious to find out what the reason was. I don’t believe in fate, but this woman was here no for a reason, even if it was to have one wild night with. That was reason enough for me. I wasn’t looking for much else anyways.

  “I think so. I will check it out when I get done filling out the paperwork.”

  “You can always stay here if you like. As you can see, there is more than enough room.”

  “I couldn’t, really.”

  I told her that I was more than happy to have her here, but I didn’t push it. She was a stranger after all and I had a tendency to come on too strong at times when I really wanted my way. The offer would have to be like the card. I was just going to have to put it out there and hope that she took the bait.

  “Well if you find yourself without accommodations, I will be home tonight and you are more than welcome to call me or Leo to come get you. New York can be a scary place, especially for someone like you.”

  She giggled and asked me what I meant. I wasn’t sure if I was honest and I kind of shrugged. “You know, young, beautiful, and tiny.”

  That made her laugh a little more. “Thank you for your concern, but I will be okay. I don’t think I am called beautiful much and from what I have seen, I am rather ordinary in a place like this.”

  I moved a little closer to her seated form on the bed. She was looking up at me and I took the moment that came. I shouldn’t have, knew better, but my hand went down to her face to have her look up at me. “Your beauty is rare here. It’s natural and I find it extraordinary. Don’t let anyone ever tell you any different.”

  Her eyes moved down, unable to keep my gaze and I leaned down to kiss her then. I don’t know what got into me, but I didn’t want to go on another minute without knowing what her lips felt like. They were softer than I could have imagined and everything about her was perfect. She even made the softest sound of
submission as her mouth opened to my invading tongue. I wanted to invade her in other ways, but as I moved down to my knees to push her onto the bed, she resisted and I was reminded again that she was different and I was going to have to treat her that way.

  “Sorry, I got away from myself for a moment there. You are gorgeous Cameron and your lips called to me. I should have controlled myself better.”

  “It’s fine, really.”

  It didn’t look fine and I had made a snafu that I couldn’t directly get away from. I didn’t want to make her uncomfortable. I didn’t want anything from her, but her next comment told me that I was making her feel like she owed me and that was not my intent at all.

  “Look Grey, you are a great guy and I appreciate the help, but all I can offer you in return is some money. I don’t… I am not willing to repay you in another way.”

  I felt my face getting red. Why was it so much easier with strippers? At least everything was on the table and there were no misunderstandings.

  “I don’t want your money or anything in return for my help. I was just trying to extend a kindness. My kiss was impulsive because your lips looked so damn soft. I am sorry about that. Stay as long as you like and call Leo so he can take you to your appointment. I have to get back to court myself. My break is most likely over.”

  I left without much more of a word from her. I felt like an idiot for making her feel that way, but I knew that there was nothing that I could do about it. I had put my foot in my mouth, something I very rarely did anymore, but I felt the awkwardness from my mistake. I called a cab because Leo was going to be busy and I didn’t think that I could deal with sitting so close next to her right now. Not when one little kiss had made my body react almost violently to her.

  Cameron was dangerous and I hadn’t even seen it. Now I did. I was stiff in my pants, the fabric uncomfortable as it meant to hold me down. The hot little woman was like fire to the touch and I felt burnt all over. Fuck, I wanted to be buried inside of her right now. If that kiss is any indication, it wouldn’t take much of anything to make it happen. All I needed was the right timing.

  Chapter 6

  Cameron

  He left and I was left speechless. What had just happened? I was talking to Grey one moment and the next he was calling me beautiful and kissing me like I was going to be the last woman he saw for a long time. My lips still trembled and tingled from his touch and so help me I wanted more of what he had on offer.

  I finished up one of the sandwiches that he was nice enough to bring me and then straightened up the room, making the bed and all of that so I wouldn’t be leaving a mess. I hated the idea of someone having to clean up after me and I had a feeling that was Marie’s job. I called Leo and he said he would be here in ten minutes.

  So with the time I had left, I tracked down Marie and thanked her again before I went outside to wait for Leo. It wasn’t too cold, but I still shivered a little bit when I got out there. It may not have been that cold, but compared to the warm interior, it was hard not to see and feel the weather difference.

  I didn’t have to wait long though. Leo was pulling up pretty quickly after that and I was ready for him. He grabbed my bag and then I gave him the address.

  “I hope you enjoyed your stay.”

  He was acting like I had just stayed at some hotel and to be honest, it felt like it. It felt like I had taken a short vacation from my real life, but reality was back and New York looked a little more intimidating now.

  “It was great. Grey is a very nice man.”

  Leo agreed, but he had a wisp of a look on his face that I just didn’t like. He looked like he knew more or rather assumed more than what was really going on and I didn’t like that part of it. I had assumed the same thing not too long ago and I was wrong as well. Grey had made me feel bad about saying anything at all, but I was going to ignore those ill feelings. What I was really worried about was not how I was seen, but treated. Leo was still nice as ever and I had all but forgotten the look when I got out of the car.

  “Thanks again Leo.”

  “No problem Cameron. I hope to see around again.”

  I took the bag out of the backseat and smiled in response with a wave. I would most likely never see him again and I was okay with that. I would miss this moment into the mad world of the affluent, but now it was time to come back down to reality.

  Getting to the door wasn’t that hard and I quickly found the floor of the dentist that I was going to be working with. Dr. Flemings seemed nice enough, even if his eyes were a bit too lecherous for my liking. He was very accommodating, much like Grey had been and I told myself then that I shouldn’t jump to conclusions. Sometimes men are just nice because they really are.

  Grey’s words played in my ear and it gave me some confidence as I made my way through the rest of the day. How could I feel bad about anything when a man like that says I am pretty?

  The day went faster than I could have imagined and by the end of it I had a smile on my face. Everything was working out as it was supposed to and the more I thought about it, the more I knew what needed to be done. When I left the dentist’s office, I was ready to tackle the world. I had to check on some arrangements that I had made for an apartment with a roommate. I didn’t have the same anxiety in me as before because I knew if nothing else, I could call Grey. But it was unnecessary.

  I met Anne after I called her. She was the one that I had spoken to through email correspondence when I was first planning to come here and it didn’t take long to see that while we didn’t have much in common, we clicked well enough. When I saw the apartment it was smaller than Grey’s by any stretch of the imagination, but it was bigger than I thought it was going to be.

  “I think this will be great Cameron. I remember when I first came to the city. Finding a place you can afford is the first hurdle. You are lucky to find this place at the price they are asking. We are going to get along famously.”

  Anne was tall and thin, with jet black hair that she wore tied up in a ponytail. She was girly and dramatic, her speech and hand motions claimed it, but she was also kind and smiled a lot. She looked like she was happy and I would take that over a moody girl any day of the week.

  Now I had to find the rest of my stuff and the parking garage where I had left my car when I went to Grey’s house. I wasn’t sure where in the city it was, but Anne knew and she drove me over there. It was nice to have someone else in the city that I knew and I was starting to think that everything was going to work itself out.

  “So I thought you got in last night?”

  “I did, but I came in late because my car broke down and I had to wait till someone came and helped me. Then when I got to the hotel, my room was rented out and I had to ask the same guy that helped me to let me stay with him. He had offered and he was real nice and left me. But he sent a car to pick me up and I had to leave my own here.”

  We had stopped in front of the parking garage that was vaguely familiar.

  “Who did you stay with? Did you know them?”

  I told her that I really didn’t know him. I had just met him and when I told her that, Anne looked at me like I was lucky that I hadn’t been raped and killed.

  “This is New York. You have to be more careful.”

  “Yeah, that is what Grey said too.”

  “I am serious Cameron. I came here from a small town in Ohio. I thought that things were like it was back at home, but unfortunately I found out the hard way that it wasn’t true. I don’t want you to have to go through what I went through.”

  I almost asked her what happened, but whatever it as, it was obvious that it bothered her and I didn’t want to make her eve more upset. I was going to have to be more careful, I just hadn’t seen it as that big of a deal. Maybe it was and I really was that lucky it was Grey that I met and not someone else.

  “I am glad Grey as the one that helped me. He was really nice and a complete gentlemen. He did try to kiss me, but when I told him I wasn’t going to have s
ex with him for his kindness, I think I offended him.”

  “Well I would have thought the same thing. No one in the city is going to help you without expecting something in return. Sad, but true fact.”

  “So what do you do for a living?”

  “I am a dancer.”

  That answer struck me a little off. She didn’t look like a dancer or what I thought of a dancer anyway. She was far more stylish for it and she didn’t seem to be the type. What was the type though?

  “Well that is exciting I bet.”

  “Not really. I work with guys all the time that are horrible and all I can do is grin and bear it. That is why I stopped dating men a long time ago. I guess I just seen too many of the bad ones and I don’t want to have anything to do with them. I just want to be happy and women do that for me.”

  She was dropping bombs left and right and I had to notice that she did it after I paid my part of the rent. Her sexuality didn’t bother me one way or the other, but I worried that she would think I was the same way.

  “Well to each their own really. I don’t worry about all of that. I think people should do what makes them happy.”

  “What makes you happy Cameron?”

  I grinned at her and shrugged. “I don’t know yet. I am sure I will figure it out. I came here for an adventure. I can’t think of a better place to go than here.”

  Anne agreed. “I found myself here too and I will never go back. The city grows on you and I literally can’t think of anywhere else I would rather be.”

  I was starting to feel the same way. This city was something new and exciting and I couldn’t wait to see what happened next. It had already been an adventure and I hadn’t even been here that long. I just knew that there was going to be lots more surprises that were in store for me. There was no other way to feel but optimistic about the future. It was looking rather bright.
