Chapter 56: Divine and Soul-level
The two became completely absorbed in each other’s kisses, their minds, hearts, bodies, and souls perfectly aligned with their shared desires and passion. They longed to rediscover the connection they once had—or to determine if it had been real and genuine, rather than just a fleeting moment of lust fueled by a drunken night.
Greg’s arms tightened around Cammy’s waist as he gently lifted her onto the dining table. She didn’t resist, instead shifting back slightly until she found a comfortable position.
Her hands traced over the fabric of his shirt, hesitating at its hem before summoning the courage to lift it. But as she began to pull it up, Greg’s hands stopped her. Breaking their kiss, he pulled away, and she opened her eyes, meeting his dreamy blue gaze, silently waiting for the words he was about to say.
"Cammy, I want this—more than anything—but I need you to be certain it’s what you want too," Greg said softly. "I can’t handle waking up and finding you gone again."
Cammy let out a quiet laugh. "Greg, you’re in my apartment. Where could I possibly run?" she teased.
Greg’s grip on her arms firmed slightly as his expression turned serious. He locked eyes with her. "Cammy, I mean it. If we do this, you’re mine. No more running."
"What if we do this, and I don’t feel the connection you’re talking about?" she asked with voice full of worry. "What if that night was just... alcohol and lust clouding our judgment?"
"You’ll feel it," Greg replied with quiet confidence. "I believe in us. I know it wasn’t just a one-time thing."
Cammy sighed deeply, searching his gaze. "How can you be so sure?"
