Judged By You (Judge Me Series) (42 page)

Cameron walked over sleepy eyed, stretching.

“You scared the shit out of me Cameron.” I shrieked.

“Sorry about that. I was watching television, and heard a noise. Thought Stephen might have been up
.” He walked to the cupboard and grabbed a glass.

I moved out of the way so he could access the sink behind me.
We stood in silence just, neither of us saying anything. I glanced in his direction, he looked deep in thought. His brows furrowed.

“Everything
okay?” I asked quietly.

“Just got a lot on my mind
.” He said not looking at me.

I reached into my pocket of my robe and pulled out the envelope.

“I found this today when I was cleaning up.” Cameron looked up as I handed it to him.

“You
didn’t open it?” He sounded surprised.

“It
’s not addressed to me. Why? What’s in it?” I raised my brow.

“A c
heque for a hundred grand from Stephen.”

I eyed Cameron curiously. What the hell was my brother doing giving Cameron that much money? And what the hell was it for? He must have seen the questions written on my face because he answered my unspoken thoughts.

“You probably don’t want to know, but Stephen gave me this money for a business deposit. We are going into business together.” Cameron put his cup on the sink and started to walk away.

I instantly walked after him grabbing him by the arm to stop him.
He stopped and took a deep breath before turning around to look at me.

“It
’s nothing illegal is it?” I just had to suspiciously.

“No.
It's not. We are opening up a garage here. Going to restore old cars, Stephen always talked about it when he was in prison. Said you would love that, and that you often talked about doing it. We haven’t figured out a name yet so if you think of something let me know.” Cameron’s eyes softened.

“I will think about it.
So you, Derek and Stephen are finally doing it?” It was always talked about when they were growing up, maybe that’s why I wanted to do it so much because I still wanted to be apart of that person  I was when I was with them all.

“Yeah.
It should be good. We already have people chasing our restores. Stephen found some of his father’s stuff in the barn a few days ago. And we joked about it, but I found an old garage down the road that would be perfect so, we decided to do it.”

“Well
I'm glad. It will be fantastic.” I was proud of them all. They were doing something extraordinary with all their talent. Together those three were unstoppable.

“Savannah,
I'm sorry about my moment earlier.” Cameron looked down at the floor.

"I forgive you. I know you feel like you owe me an explanation, but
you don't,” I say putting my hands on his chest just over his heart. "I was in here once remember. I have come to realise how hard it was for you to see my brother and your friend go to prison, and you feel guilty for that. I get it, I shouldn’t have blamed you the way I did. I was hurt by you, you hurt me. But it's okay now because I forgive you, I've moved on from this.”

“
I'm glad you forgive me. I can see it now..... I can see the forgiveness in your eyes. You love him don't you?” He questions...... Curiously.

I take a deep br
eath before I answer......”Yes,”

He nods, but he looks wounded....

“I'm sorry Cameron. I loved you a long time ago, I can't hold onto to past anymore.” I stand of my toes and kiss his cheek.

“We can be friends yeah? Like old
times. We have grown into two entirely different people now, and I think it would be good if we can get that friendship back.” Cameron said hopeful.

“Of course we can. I would love to be friends
.” I smile.

I put out my
hand; Cameron looks at it than brings his hand to mine before shaking it. We smile at each other, and for once it feels friendly.

“Good night Cameron
.” I say talking my hand back.

“Good night Savannah
.”

When I walk away from
him, I feel the weight I have been carrying around disappear. I feel free from the old Cameron. But I want to get to know the new him as my friend like before.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I wake to Damon’s head between my legs. His fingers work me over while his tongue sucks at my clit. Incoherent responses leave my mouth, followed by me moaning his name. I hear him chuckle lightly as his fingers continue to work in and out.

“Don’t stop
.” I panted.

“I don’t plan to
.” Damon said with a cheeky smile.

And he didn’t stop until I come apart around his fingers.
He continued his assault until the last shudder stopped, and then he worked his way up my body until the head of his erection was lined up with my slick opening.

I grabbed his arse and urged him to enter
me, he teased me for several moments before he slammed into me. I whimpered on impact. He pounded into me over and over again. I loved it when we made soft passionate love, but It drove me fucking crazy when he worked me hard and fast. I could feel the build of my second orgasm coming hard and fast.

“Your so wet beautiful.
It feels fucking sensational.” He growled.

“
Shut up and fuck me.” I bit out.

And fuck he did.
He sat back on his heel and grabbed my hips roughly, his fingers digging into my side. He used my body as he drove hard and fast into me.

“
Oh yes.” I screamed at my orgasm hit me full force.

“Beautiful, oh god
.” Damon grunted pouring himself into me.

He leans over my body and kisses
me, I taste my arousal of his lips. He continues to thrust softly and slowly, until we both stop convulsing. I am one satisfied woman this morning.

“Good morning beautiful
.” He says when he stops kissing me.

“Good morning yourself
.” I smile back at him.

The sound
of a phone ringing brings me back to reality. Damon pulls out of me then gets of the bed answering his phone.

“Hello
, Damon speaking, yes….. fuck, alright I will be there soon…..Yes,  okay bye.” Damon hangs up and swears a few choice words.

“Is
everything okay?” I ask, sitting up straight.

“I have to go into work today, and I know you have that appointment with Carter. But I can't get out of this meeting
.” Damon looks at me conflicted.

“It
's okay, you go to work, and I will go see Carter.” I was disappointed, but I was a big girl I could handle him……

“I don’t want you alone with him, he is trying to cause trouble between us, and I don’t like it Savannah.
” Damon walked over to his bag and began sifting through it urgently.

“It
’s okay Damon. Nothing will come between us.” I got off the bed and went to him, hugging him from behind.

His body tensed at first, but then he relaxed into me.
He turned in my arms and hugged me tight. Something that carter knew scared Damon I knew that much. But whatever it was, I wanted to hear it from Damon, not from carter.

“It will be okay, I promise
.” I stood on my toes and kissed him.

“I want you to ring me after you have finished with him and we will meet somewhere for dinner
.” Damon kissed my hair.

“Deal
.”

Chapter 20

Damon
never left as soon as he dressed. He stood around eying me for a while before I had pushed him out the door. Something was wrong, but I couldn’t keep thinking about it or I would go crazy. I just had to trust him. And I did trust him. Whatever it was, I was sure we could work through it.

When I finally went down stairs
, my brother was hosting a party in my clean lounge room. The NASCAR race was on, and they had already told me that today nothing was getting done; I shouldn’t even bother to ask. How would they feel If I unplugged the television? I laughed at the thought running through my head.

My phone rings in my; Nicole’s names flashes on the screen. I have spoken to Nicole a few times since she has been away, but I miss her like crazy.

“Hey Nic.”

“
Hey Sav. What’s happening there?”

“Same old shit different day
.” I laugh.

“Tho
se men boys behaving themselves?” She sounds curious.

I look to the lounge room at the three men sitting watching television. They are all leaning forward on the couch with their hands in popcorn buckets.

“Yes, they are behaving. They have currently taken possession of the couch to watch the mighty race.” I explain.

“I’m surprised you are not in there with them
,” Nicole laughs down the phone. “You’re a tom boy sometimes Savannah James.”

“I was going to watch the race, but I have so much stuff to pack up and nobody will help me
.” I yell a little and all the boys turn to me and smile.

Nicole giggles helplessly. “If only I was there…….”

“Yes I know. So….. How are you doing today? How is your mum?” Nicole’s mum had a heart attack and is in intensive care still.

“She is okay, making slow progress they say. I’m okay, tired but okay. I need to get a doctor’s appointment with a doctor at this hospital I will be staying for a few more days at least, and I cannot
miss those appointments”. I nod in agreement than realise that she cannot see me.

“I agree. Stay as long as you need. I am planning on moving all the stuff to Derek’s this week. The renovations are going ahead early. The job that was before ours fell through
.”

“Wow. Maybe I will come home to a new house hey
.” We both start laughing.

“I should get going; I have a lot of work to do today. And cheques to write
.”

“Your appoi
ntments with carter today, right?” Nicole’s annoyed voice says.

“Yes that is today. Trust me when I say I am not looking forward to it at all Damon had to go to work, so I am going on my own. It is okay; I mean he is a professional
,” I pick up a box and walk to the bathroom. “Is there anything in this bathroom you cannot live without?”

“Don’t throw out my shampoo, or my perfume bottles I love those things. Oh and my soap bottles
,” Nicole complains “And do not change the subject. He is a professional, but he is just creepy. I think he likes you, and he is jealous that you are with Damon.” 

“Nicole, they are all empty
,” I explain picking up each bottle and shaking it. “And I do not want to think about it anymore. The feeling is not mutual I just want to get today over with.”

“They are expensive and I love collecting them. And I want you to ring me when you are done with carter
.” She shouts.

I laugh and agree to keep them for her. We talk for a few more minutes about her dads worries for her and her unborn children and then she has to go.

“I miss you Nic, love you.”

“Miss you too Sav, and love you back
.”

Then she is gone. She is going to be at least another five days. I want nothing more than to get on the plane and go to her, I know she is struggling with her family, and she needs her friends, but she will not leave no matter how hard it gets, and I envy her for that. I have a few business dates coming up with Damon
, he has been looking forward to taking me too them for a while now, and to be honest I couldn’t wait to meet the people he works with. He talks extremely highly of them.

I continue to pack the bathroom, packing all the supplies and linen out of the cupboard. When the boxers are full, I realise I cannot lift it and go out to the lounge room to ask for help. As I walk in no body looks at me, they are that engrossed in what’s on the box they do not even know I’m there. I decided to be a bitch, and I walk over and stand in front of the television. When I do, everybody leans to the side to get a look around me; it takes a few seconds for it to register before they crack up

“Get out of the fucking way Savannah.” Derek yells.

“Move your fat arse
.” Stephen throws his shoe at me, but I dodge it.
