By the time Cameron got home the following day from, it was so late that his children were asleep. He had tried as much as possible to get home from work, but he had been stuck in a meeting that lasted for about seven hours straight. It was a conference meeting with the board members and some investors. He had not been the one to schedule the meeting but the investors themselves, so it had been impossible to get out of it. He would have left them there if he could because he knew he had promised his daughter to be home in time for bed, but the silent house told him he had missed it. Even Davey must have gone to bed, a man who always waited up for him until he was home. The older man must be tired to have left him and gone to bed. He sighed and got rid of his tie, throwing it somewhere. He would get it later when he was back downstairs to eat dinner if he still could.All he could feel as he dropped his bag on the couch and started up the stairs to Spring’s room was guilt. She was n
Cameron had promised to do research on Ruby Miller when he left his friend’s house that day, and he had been able to find out that she had a cousin who was a nurse and no other family, and then she herself was a graduate with a criminal law major. She had not gone to law school but could have the plan to attend. She was a good abiding citizen with no criminal record. Aside from all that, she was a beautiful soul with a beautiful body, but as tempting as that sweet, curvaceous body of hers was, he knew all he needed from her was her taking care of his kids, and not his want, of needing her to take care of his aching dick or allow him to bury himself to the base so deep in her she knew nothing but him. He wanted to be all over her, and inside her, but he would have to suppress the feeling. Without being told, he knew quite well himself, that it was a dead end and nothing can ever happen between them. He knew how risky this was, standing outside her door watching her like this. He kne
Ruby didn't know what to do for the first two seconds when her eyes met his, but then, her brain worked and she ran to the other side of the room to get her shorts. “Shit, Olivia. I'll call you back. We haven't finished this conversation.” She said and ended the call before zipping up her shorts and squaring her shoulder to face her boss, who she heard entered her room. But, as soon as she turned to face him, her shoulder drooped off, and the courage she thought she had evaporated. She had no idea when he got there, or for how long he had watched her for. If anything, she didn't even expect him there. It might be true that she had not been sure she locked the door, but he still didn't have to stand there watching her, only she didn't have the courage to say that to him. It didn't even feel like it should when someone watched her as he did. She should be crept out but she felt sexy, having someone like him watch her. She wondered why he was looking at her when he could have walked
“What are you doing?” Cameron asked as he entered into the kitchen. He was once again angry, but he wasn't sure who he was angry at now. Was it at Ruby, who was talking to a man on the phone who was probably her boyfriend, or was it at himself for being attracted to his employee? Ruby turned to look at him as she opened the door of the microwave. "Oh, I was just getting this out of the microwave.” She said, offering him a small smile. The smile hit him at the center of his chest. Why was she smiling at him when she was just talking to her boyfriend? He had thought about the possibility of her having a boyfriend the first time she had come to work for him, but now hearing her speaking to him whoever he was wasn't something he liked at all.“I remembered telling you, you didn’t have to bother.” He said.He knew quite well that he was acting like a jerk, but he just couldn't help it. He had heard briefly at the door that the name of the person she was talking to was Liam. He wished tha
“I can't believe your boss allows you to have a visitor.” That was the first thing Olivia said when Davey brought her to the kitchen where Ruby was making lunch. She had been trying to get it all ready before she came, but Olivia was a few minutes early. Ruby offered her a smile and looked at Spring where she sat on one of the high chairs for the kids around the kitchen table. “Hey, Livy.” She said, just as Spring asked her who she was. “Livy? Who’s Livy, Ruby?” the young girl asked. She was looking at Olivia with an open mouth reaction, and she couldn't blame her. Olivia was a very beautiful woman, and her shining black hair, with an innocent face like a princess, made her look like she stepped out of a fairy tale. Unlike Ruby, Olivia was beautiful by all standards. She had a very sweet aura to her, even though she was sometimes mean when she wanted to pass a message across and it was taking too long to be accepted. Chuckling, Ruby said. "Livy is my cousin, baby.” Spring looked
“So what will you do?” she asked as she dished out lunch for everyone including Olivia. “I mean, you can't just avoid him forever, you know. You have to call him and talk to him.” She paused, licking her index finger when the hot sauce drop on it. "Or better yet, wait for him here and talk to him, if you don't want to do it alone.” She said. Olivia widened her eyes in fear. "What the heck, Ruby? Liam is coming here?” she asked. Ruby gave her a look and then she said. "Stop swearing dear cousin. I have kids sitting around here.” Olivia smiled. "You know you just sounded like their mother. Well, you do look like their mother with the way you look at them.” “Well, she's not their mother!” someone said and the kitchen door pulled open, and Cameron stepped inside. Oh shit! It was Ruby’s turn to widen her eyes in fear. She wondered how much of their conversation had he heard. How long he had been standing behind the door for, to have heard what they said? Cameron seemed to have the h
After lunch with his children Ruby, and her cousin, he retired back to his office to continue his work. This had been one of the reasons he had stayed back at home today so that he would see that friend and cousin. He had thought that the woman would be her friend, while the man would be her "cousin” but it didn't turn out to be that way. Thankfully, he was truly what Ruby had called him, and he was even taken, which made it all good. He was still working when the door of his office opened after a small knock sounded. Davey poked his head into his office. "Mr. MacMillan, the man is here to see Ruby. You said I should notify you first when he arrives.” He said. Cameron nodded his head. He had told him so because he wanted the opportunity to meet the man first. He still wanted to make sure that he was the cousin’s boyfriend and not Ruby’s. As long as he was working for him, he wouldn't entertain the idea of her being in a relationship, and even if she was in one, he didn't want her b
"So you think your boss hates you?” Olivia asked as she came to sit on her cousin’s bed. They have been talking on the balcony for a while, with Ruby telling her everything that had happened with her boss so far, from the first day of him saying he didn't want her, to not have a choice when his kids asked her to stay, and from the scenario in his office where she wore a tank top, forgetting she had no bra on. If Olivia didn't know her cousin any better, she would have said that she did that on purpose, but knowing her, she knew it had been something she didn't really think about. Ruby was a woman that loved to cover up her body as much as she could, even though Olivia tried to curb that. It took her a while to get her to see how beautiful she was, and how much sex appeal she had as well. She would always compare her body to hers, finding fault in the way her hips flared or the way her breasts looked. She would complain her food went to her butt, never really seeing herself the way s
