Why didn’t anyone tell her how this man looked? He was insanely hot for a dad. She wasn’t sure was she expected, but here she was now and all she could do was stare. He had intense blue eyes that looked like the color of the sea, and on his chiseled jaw was a five o’clock stubble that made him look sexy as sin. He had a hard stare, but she knew that wasn’t real because he sure wouldn't look at his kids with eyes this cold. There was something about him that called to her, but she wasn’t sure in what way that was. She watched the way his muscles bucked under the white buttoned shirt; with the two top buttons undone of course, and the sleeves rolled up to the elbows. It was paired with a well fitted gray pants, shiny black shoes, and a frustrated expression on his face like he wants nothing more than to get the hell out of his office so he could go beat the hell out of whoever was on the other end of the phone moments ago. His hair must have been so tussled up from him raking his fin
He saw the disappointment on her face and his head told him he was being an asshole for no reason. But he knew he couldn't work with this woman without being distracted, and that was something he couldn't afford. “I don’t understand sir, but I’m sure I can answer any question you have.” She said. Questions huh? He raised his brows at her. Was she deaf, or she was just playing dumb? He had just told her he didn’t want her, so what was she talking about? “Maybe you didn’t hear me, but I said no. I do not want you. I'll have Flora send someone else.” He repeated, slowly this time. She frowned with her mouth dropped open. "Huh, but why sir? Have I offended you unknowingly?” she asked. "I can apologize.” She said. Cameron shook his head, and for the life of him, he couldn't believe that he had felt an attraction for a woman like this. His usual types were models, and actresses, but this woman wasn’t slim, she wasn’t close. He really couldn't tell how her shape was, but he could tell
Ruby woke up this morning with joy in her heart. Today was the first day of her new job and she had to make sure to wake up early. She had her bag packed already and would leave when she was done with her morning routine. She was going to miss her cousin, but she was sure Olivia would be able to come to say hello to her at the house. Flora had told her what her job description entailed and that she and her husband had taken a chance on her by giving her this chance, so she would do all she could to work hard. She had to prove that she could do this and not disappoint the couple who had taken a chance on her. She stood up from the bed and walked to the bathroom that was right outside her door. Because they had to share it, she always had to wake up early to beat her to it.She opened the door and went inside, thankful that she was the first to get there. But she wasn’t sure Olivia had the morning shift anyway, seeing as she told her she would be taking her to the MacMillan house her
He just couldn't stop thinking about that woman in big clothes that Flora insisted should be his children’s nanny. What was with her anyway? He thought, thinking about Flora. Perhaps, she had done this on purpose, because why was she hell-bent on sending a woman like that to him? She had already broken his number one rule. Never send him someone pretty, must be ugly.But she had done just that. Even worse, the woman was sexy as hell, with those sacks she wore and called clothes. His number two rule was simple as well. Never send someone naïve and clumsy, and she had done that. The woman had fallen down at his feet, showing him that underneath those sacks was someone sexy as hell, with that annoying but sinful vision called underwear she showed him. That damned lingerie. He would never have thought that a woman like that; the one that dresses in clothes like that would be wearing something that sexy underneath. She was so beautiful and the fact that she has no idea how much only ma
Ruby was disappointed, to say the least, and it was all because she couldn't read her boss. She wondered what had gone through his head those moments he stared at her before asking her to leave and ask the butler to take her to her room. Sighing, she followed the man silently, dragging one of her suitcases with her while he took the other. They walked up the red-carpeted stairs and then down a long hallway until he stopped at the end of the hall in front of a huge oak door. “Here's your room.” He said, turning to look at her. Nodding, she thanked the man and walked into the room. It was large and painted a forest green, and it had a balcony that was overlooking the backyard, mostly the garden. The room had little furniture, but it didn't make it any less beautiful, just like the rest of the house. There was a medium-sized bed that looked perfect, and when she felt it, she knew it was in the best condition. There was a table in the corner with a chair shifted against it, with a dre
As soon as Ruby walked out of her room later that evening, she locked her gaze on Cameron. He must have arrived from his parents where he went to pick up his children. His piercing blue eyes looked as if they were looking into her soul. “Good evening, sir. You've arrived.” She said. “Yes, obviously.” He replied, his voice cold. "Davey said you made dinner for everyone. You didn't have to.” Why was he always so cold to her, she wanted to ask him, but she smiled and nodded. "I know that. I wanted to.” “I usually make dinner for my kids or order in for them, but the latter had been what we do lately. It's been ages since they had a home-cooked meal if you don't count the occasional oatmeal.” He said. Wow, that wasn't a healthy habit, especially for kids. "It's fine. I can do that now.” She said. She wasn't going to be paid for being their cook, but it was the least she could do to make up for being paid eighty-five dollars an hour. “We’ll talk about you getting an increase later.”
Cameron lay in bed that night staring up at the ceiling of his bedroom, thinking about Ruby. She was just only three bedrooms away, about fifty feet down the hall wondering what she was up to. She was probably asleep and not awake like he was unable to sleep. He wondered how she looked while she slept, what she loved to wear to bed; whether she was the type that went naked to bed or the one that went fully clothed. He also wondered if he loved her room, the room he had designed originally for his late wife before she abandoned it. Aside from the furniture in the room, everything else was shiny, the green paint on the wall making it look like a forest come alive, and with the curtains and wallpaper that was on one wall of the room, everything from a Victorian décor magazine, one that was fit for a princess, and not a nanny. But, he knew that she deserved to sleep there. She was amazing with his kids and they loved her from what he could tell. She was a really hard worker, and he kne
The sounds of happy children playing and shouting somewhere in the house woke Cameron up. It was the weekend and he had planned to sleep in a few hours longer than his usual six o’clock, but he must have slept even longer because now, the sunlight was in his room. He opened his eyes slowly, turning to look at the clock that was on his bedside table. It was ten o’clock in the morning. “Oh, shit!” he whispered. He must have slept so much because of what happened last night, with him in the shower, with his hand around himself and Ruby in his head doing things to him. He had released so hard as he had never done before, even with a woman. “Damn her!” he said as he stood up from his bed and walked to the bathroom. As fast as he could, he had his bath, knowing his children would probably be waiting to eat breakfast with him. They always do that together every Saturday morning like this one. Ten minutes later, he was dressed in a white t-shirt and blue jeans. He walked out of his room a
Closing the door behind her, she turned to see something on her bed and she stopped in her stride, squinting her eyes to determine what it could be. She had left nothing at all on her bed when she left it this morning, so it could only be from one person, and that was Cameron. This must be what he meant when he said something about the gift he was preparing. With a small smile on her face, she walked to the bed to take a closer look at whatever it was. She definitely knew that she was going to have to thank him when he got back from work. This was really nice, she thought even though she hadn't seen it yet. The package was wrapped in a gift box with a ribbon tied in a bow at the top. Slowly, she sat down beside it and opened it, unwrapping the wrapper after getting rid of the bow. This was making her feel like she was a little girl on a Christmas morning, unwrapping a gift she had been expecting from her father. She finally got the wrapper off the box and with a sigh, she opened t
When Davey came into the kitchen, he took Summer out and back to her room by picking her up and Ruby turned towards Cameron. He had gone upstairs after she was done with breakfast to have his bath. He said he had a meeting at the office to attend to. He still hadn't wished her a happy birthday, but she guessed he must have forgotten about it because she had only mentioned it once. She would be sure to remind him after this one, so he doesn't forget anymore that easily. She definitely still stood by her word on not caring about that because she was grateful that she could spend it around people she loved and that loved her, and that was enough. At this point, all she wanted to do was have fun with the kids, call Olivia, and then make great food for lunch and dinner, even if it meant that she would stress herself out to achieve that. Cameron was wearing a dark sunglasses that hid his beautiful eyes from her but the rest of him looked as gorgeous. The dark brown suit hugged hid body p
Summer picked up the book she left in the living room and she walked back to the kitchen to sit with Spring, as Ruby made lunch. She would be going out soon because it was her birthday tomorrow, and she was planning to get some things to prepare for it. “Stop pulling that, Spring. Leave your sister alone.” She said when she saw Spring pulling at Summer’s book. He loved to pick on her sometimes like that, but she was always there to stop him. Spring laughed. "I was just messing with her, but she's a crybaby.” He said as Summer’s eyes started to water with tears. Ruby smiled and shook her head, then she begged Summer and told her not to cry. It was all she could do not to send them both out of the kitchen. They were really distracting her, and she needed to get the lunch done on time if she wanted to get going soon. “I’ll tell Daddy once he's back.” Summer said. Spring raised his shoulder in a single shrug as if he didn’t care who she told. The boy was growing so fast every day th
Olivia grabbed her purse from the kitchen counter, and then her keys from the small table in the living room, ready to head out for a shift at the hospital. She had rejected Liam’s offer to come to pick her up on his way to work as well. Although, she was a bit tired and sleepy, but she had to drive to the hospital because she would be going to the police station to meet Ruby. They had submitted the evidence to the police and Roy had been taken in for questioning.It was another sweltering day and her thick scrubs are not taking the high temperatures into concern at all, making her wish she could stay inside with the air conditioner at full blast. But seeing as she couldn't do that, she started to go out of the apartment, and got to the front door, opening it to step outside.She had barely made it out her front door and she was already feeling the heat welcoming her. Thankfully, her car had an air conditioner, but the only disadvantage was that she couldn't turn it on for long. She
Cameron reached out his hands to grab her before she meet the floor, and then he bent from his waist to grab her behind her knees. Grabbing her, he hoisted her up and into his arms. “Just don't struggle if you don't want your towel to fall off. Or you could, because I'll get to see you like I've been wanting since like forever.” He said, and Ruby stopped squirming in his arms immediately, settling. He walked to the bed and sat down, settling her against his lap, and holding her there, with her butt firmly against his crotch. He groaned at when she squirmed against him, and then she stopped. Ruby realized he was semi hard against her, and she wondered how that was what was in his mind when he had only come in to talk. But then again, he was a man with blood running through his vein, so she understood he would be aroused by being this close to him. She was, after all, aroused too, as she felt her nipples tighten into hard little rocks, and the junction of her thigh tightened in pain.
She waited there, waiting for Davey to come to get the door as she pressed the doorbell, but when the door ripped open, it was someone unexpected that opened it. Cameron!But, it wasn't entirely strange that he was the one that answered the door, after all, it was his house. She started up at him for a long moment, actually, she wasn't sure how long she had stood there staring at him, but when he cleared his throat, she snapped herself out of the daze she had been in. The truth was not that she didn’t know what to say as she watched him, but the fact that she realized at that moment how much she had missed him and how much she had wanted to see him. She had not even realized it sooner until that moment. His beauty, just as he looked on at her, his elegance, as he stood there, his stance, and the way the light behind him in the hallway, made him look even better than he was. Not that he wasn't handsome or anything though. There was something about seeing a man one was in love with
“Dad, ask your wife why she did all that. Please do, because I'm on a very thin line with withholding my anger here.” Cameron said as he looked from his mother to his father. He was really angry. He had waited until Gomez gave him all the proofs to take to her before coming over to confront her. Although he hadn't done anything wrong, he had to shoulder the responsibility for what her actions had caused, and the hate directed towards him by Ruby, a woman he was madly in love with. "What are you doing here, Cam?” Sarah asked behind him. They had talked about this, and she had begged him not to cause a scene, but he just couldn't. It wasn't something he could do. "You should go home and leave Mom. You look really exhausted." She said, observing him.Cameron wanted to roll his eyes because he knew she was only saying that to make him leave and stop yelling at their mother like that. Well, he didn't mean to be disrespectful, but he just couldn't stay quiet any longer. “Stay out of this,
When the phone rang, Ruby was sitting in the living room back at home with Olivia sitting on the couch in front of her. She was telling her about how many times Cameron had called her just to speak with her. She picked up her phone and frowned down at it, not sure she wanted to pick up a call from a strange number. For all she knew, it could be Cameron, but then again, this wasn't his number. She would have recognized it if it was, as she had it memorized. Besides, she knew he wouldn't call her again after he had done it several times but she hadn't picked it up. “Who’s that?” Olivia asked and Ruby lifted her shoulder in a shrug. “I don't know who it is.” She said. She wasn't a psychic so she couldn't possibly know who was calling her. Olivia was convinced it might be Cameron though, because of the look in her eyes. She was even more angry than she was, on her behalf, she would say every time they talked about it. “Then you won't if you don't pick it up. You can drop your phone a
It's been a solid hour since Cameron sat outside the hospital in the garden with his hand in his pocket and a lot going through his head. He had left the room and come out here when Ruby told him to leave because she didn't want to see him yet, whatever that meant. She was probably blaming him, but that was fine. He was blaming himself as well. It didn't help matters that his family was here; his mother and father, Davey must have called them. He said there in silence, when though his phone buzzed in his pocket for a while now. Someone had been calling him about fifteen minutes after he came out but he had refused to get his phone out of his pocket or pick it up. It was of no use right now, not when the woman he was madly in love with was in this state, and not when she had walked him out.Soon, he heard the rustling of a person’s footsteps behind him, but this was a public place, so it could be anyone, but when the person stopped at his back, he knew they were there for him. “Cam
