Twice Tempted: Between Two Alphas (Mia and Cameron) novel Chapter 75

Chapter Seventy-FIve

“Mia!” Cam dives across the ground, grabs the grenade and hurls it overboard.

Eric laughs.

He walks over to me and slips the rifle out of my hands. “I appreciate the backup.”

Cam shakes his head.

“What are you doing here?” I ask. I’m breathless.

My heart’s pounding from the adrenaline and Nala’s turning circles seeing him here.

I swallow hard.

Cam grins and picks me up for a deep kiss.

After a few seconds, Eric bumps him in the back. “Let’s take this indoors.” Then he adds: “At least until the crew retires for the night.”

Eric pulls the knives out of my pockets and the guns from my back. He chuckles again. “Let me get these tucked away and the room set back to rights before the steward goes to turn the bed down.”

He walks past us, leaving us alone on the top deck.

The smell of the ocean is strong. Moonlight reflects on the water.

But all I see is Cameron.

I twine my hands around his neck.

His strength infuses me. His love makes me feel secure.

“Missed you,” he mumbles against my mouth.

Then he’s kissing me again and for a little while, I’m not thinking about Philipe or Ashley or some inevitable war.

After a few minutes, when we’re either going to take this a whole lot further or we need to stop, he draws back.

“How long are you here for?” I ask him.

“Tonight. Maybe tomorrow. Not long.” He takes my hand and we walk down to the main deck. I guide Cameron to the sundeck where I’d napped with Eric before.

“We found another possible solution for Merilee.”

I smile. “That’s great news, Cam.”

“There are old references in the archives that Dr. Lee stumbled upon. We’re hopeful.” He nods. “Jacelyn and Aaron are so good with her. It’s almost impossible to keep them apart.”

“That’s what family’s about.”

“I can’t wait for us all to be together again.”

I smile, but part of me wonders if that will ever be possible.

We talk for a while and I fill him in on what happened with Philipe.

“I have teams monitoring them too. Jacob’s following several leads. He appears to be heading north.”

“To rally more supporters,” Eric says. He joins us on the deck and sits on the opposite side of me.

Cameron’s on my right.

I lean back and lounge on my elbows so I’m behind them a bit and can look at them both without having to crane my head from side to side.

The position stretches my legs before them and the way I’m resting, my breasts are on display.

A fact both Alphas notice.
