Honor Under Siege

“Make me be part of the decision. It was easier when you just did

what you wanted. Then I could be angry with you for doing it.

“Youre losing me. Cam caught Blairs hand again. “If Ive learned

anything about being with you, its that Im supposed to talk about things

with you. Dont confuse me.

Blair grabbed Cams shoulders, jerked her close, and kissed her. Hard.

“How would you feel about me if I said no. I dont want you to do it.

“I

love

you.

“I cant stand worrying about you. I cant take one more phone cal tel

ing me youre hurt.

“I wont do

it.

“I want you to take a supervisory position in homeland security. You

know how to run teams. You can do it without being on the street.

“Okay.

Blair squeezed Cams shoulders, felt the hard muscles ripple under her

fingers. She flashed on an image of Cam naked, her body toned and

tight. Her body scarred. Her body bat le ready. She kissed her again,

tasting the heat of her mouth, feeling the strength in her arms as they

came around her and held her

tightly. “I love you so

much.

“Blair. Cam whispered, sliding her fingers down over Blairs chest to

cradle her breast. She kissed Blairs throat as Blairs nipple hardened

against her palm. “I never want to hurt you.

“I know, Blair breathed, arching her back and exposing herself to Cams

mouth, of ering the vulnerable vessels in her neck to the glide of teeth

and tongue. She covered Cams hand where it held her breast and pressed

down, moaning at the ache of pleasure that shimmered through her. “Do

what you have to do.

Cam splayed her hand over Blairs back and pul ed Blairs shirt from her

jeans. She kissed down Blairs throat to the hol ow between her col

arbones. “What are you saying?

Blair leaned away and pul ed of her top, then swiftly released her

bra and dropped it to the floor. She arched her back, breasts lifting in

invitation while she fumbled at her jeans. “Hurry. We dont have much

time.

Swiftly, Cam pushed Blair down onto the wide leather sofa and knelt to

pul of her boots. Grabbing the top of her jeans, she stripped the denim

and silk away in one long wrenching pul until Blair was nude.

“Lie down, Cam ordered. Easing between Blairs legs, she braced an

arm by Blairs shoulders and kissed her. While she stroked inside

Blairs mouth, she cupped her sex. Blair was wet, swol en, already

opening for her. Blairs hands came into her hair and Cam slid into her.

Blair jolted and cried out.

“I never want to hurt you, Cam said desperately, her breath tearing

from her chest as she pushed deeper.

“You arent. You cant. Not when you looh, god. Blair gripped Cams

forearm as Cam thrust between her legs. She drove her pelvis up to

meet Cam plunging down, the pressure building, burning, blinding.

“Cam, I

“Blair, Blair, Cam groaned against Blairs mouth. “Come, baby.

Oh Jesus, please let me feel you come.

“Oh now, Blair cried, her nails digging into Cams arm. Her abdomen

tightened and she jerked upright, clutching Cam as her orgasm spil ed

from her. “Hold me. Hold me. God, please hold me.

Cam gripped Blair tightly and as Blairs body sagged, she eased her back

onto the sofa, shifting until she could lie beside Blair and hold her in her

arms. “Okay? Baby, you okay?

Blair pressed her face to Cams chest, listening to her heart thunder. “God.

You make me come like nobodys business.

Laughing, Cam stroked her hair. “Is that

right.

“Mmm. Blair stretched and eased her thigh between Cams legs. “You

sound hoarse again. Is your throat okay?

“Everything

feels

fabulous.

Blair nudged Cams crotch. “How bout

this?

“Fabulously

horny.

“Thought so. Blair gripped the but on on

Cams fly. Cam stopped her. “Uh-uh. Not

now. Il last.

“Since

when?

“Since Dianes going to be here any

minute.

“Darling, Blair said in a reasonable voice. “I can make you come in under

thirty seconds.

Cam kissed Blair lightly. “Thats true. But I want you to take a lot

longer. Blair sighed. “If thats what you want, I suppose I can be

patient.

“So, Cam shifted onto her back so that Blair lay partial y upon her, “you

want to explain what you said back then just as my mind was melting?

Blair skimmed her hand back and forth over Cams chest. “I told you the

truth. I dont want you to be in danger. I want you to be safe. She met

Cams questioning gaze. “But I dont want my love to keep you from

being who you are. Or doing what you have to do. So you have to

promise me, on your word of honor, that you wont let anything happen

to you. Swear it.

“I swear, Cam whispered, stroking Blairs cheek. “I swear I wil love

you with my whole heart every day for the rest of my life.

Blair blinked back tears. “Thats not what I

asked.

“I know. Il be

careful.

Blair set led down again and pressed her face to Cams neck. “So

noted, Commander.
