Page 74 of A Not So Prince Charming

Grabbing her free hand, I interlaced our fingers, pulling her off to the side of the lodge, out of sight of any other resort guests.

“Come here,” I said, pulling her into my arms. Even with a giant puffy coat on, I enjoyed holding her like this.

“Cam,” she said as I tucked us into an alcove. “What are we doing?”

“Talking,” I said, my lips curling up in a smile.

She rolled her eyes. “You know what I mean.”

“Do I?”

Shuffling us closer to the side of the building, I pressed her against the wall. Caged her in with my arms.

“What arewedoing, Cameron?” She looked at the ground between us instead of into my eyes. Fuck that.

I wanted those gorgeous baby blues on me.

“I wanted to kiss you.”

Her lips parted as she brought her gaze to mine.

“Didn’t think you wanted me to do it in front of all our friends.”

She shook her head.

“What do you want?” I asked her, rubbing my nose against hers.

Leaning in, I pressed a soft kiss to the side of her mouth. Then the other.

I hovered over her lips, wanting her to tell me she wanted this, too. Us.

“You said you wanted everything,” Ella whispered.

“I did. Ido.” I really wanted to kiss her.

“And… we’re sleeping together.” Her cheeks turned pink, as if she was remembering last night.

“We are.” I raised an eyebrow.

“And we’re… friends?” Fuck, was that what she thought? Even after I’d told her what I wanted. Was that why she’d been holding back?

I shook my head, leaning our foreheads together as I kept myself propped up on the wall. “We’re way past friends, baby.” I pressed my lips against hers, gently.

“So… I’m your girlfriend?”

“Fuck yeah.” One corner of my mouth tilted up. “I thought that was implied.”

She leaned up, kissing me this time. “That’s good.”

“Oh, it is?”I grinned.

“Mhm. Because I really wanted to call you my boyfriend.”

Her face split into a blinding smile—even brighter than the snow—as she wrapped her arms around my neck.

I lifted her up, bringing our lips level, and we let our mouths do the rest of the talking, tongues tangling in a kiss that wasn’t at all gentle or sweet.

Tasting, licking, sucking—our lips were a frenzy, like we couldn’t get enough of each other.
