Taste of Love (20 page)

Cameron woke early the next day to get ready for his radio interviews. He softly placed kisses all over Madison's face and neck, making her smile as she woke up.

"Mmm, what a way to wake up," she moaned as she stretched.

"And so is that," Cameron commented as she stretched, his eyes watching her every move. Getting out of bed before he acted on his impulses, he gathered some clothes together and dressed in the bathroom.

When he came out, he asked, "Do you want to come with me today? You can come to the radio interviews or the sound check, or all of them. It's up to you."

"I can't think of anything I would rather do than spend the whole day with you." She winked at him as she got out of bed and went to her room to get ready. Cameron shook his head in appreciation and bit his lip as she walked out.

The radio interviews were interesting to say the least. Some of them were really lame, the hosts trying to make dumb jokes, amateurs that didn't know how to do their jobs. A few were actually funny, and didn't miss a beat when they saw Madison show up with Cameron. They asked point-blank if he had finally changed his playboy ways and finally settled down. As diplomatically as possible, he told them that only time would tell.

The last radio station reminded Madison of a Howard Stern show. The host was vulgar, pushing the limits of what he could say, but Cameron took it all in stride. It was a battle of wits, and Madison was glad to see that Cameron held his own against the guy without losing his temper. It was an interesting thing to watch and reminded her of the first good fight they had - but this time, the memory of it made her smile. Who would have dreamed they would come so far since then?

After a quick meal, they all drove to the venue for the sound check and rehearsal. Cameron went through his whole show, changing it up a bit from his Indy show, in the hopes of satisfying the fans that attended more than one show. Madison stood off to the side to watch him, as impressed with him as she had been the first time she saw his show. If he didn't like how the song sounded, he did it again and again until it was right. Usually it was the band that messed up, but he always took responsibility for it. It took longer than Madison thought that it would, but she understood Cameron's need for perfection.

After sound check and rehearsal, it was getting late, so they went back to the hotel and got some sleep; they had a long day ahead of them the next day, the day of the concert.

Cameron lay low the day of the concert, trying to rest and get plenty of fluids so he didn't get too dehydrated during the show.

Madison gave him some time alone as she went out on the town and did some tourist-y things. Her favorite place was the Shedd Aquarium. She spent a couple of hours in there, just wandering among the tanks. It gave her such a peaceful feeling and was a perfect bookend to the excitement of the concert preparation.

By the time she returned to the hotel, it was time to get ready. Not sure about what Cameron would want her to wear, she decided on the retro Rolling Stones tee, along with a short denim skirt and a studded black belt that slung low around her hips. To complete the outfit, she slipped on some black studded biker boots. She left her hair down, and instead of leaving it naturally wavy, she took forty-five minutes to straighten it. Her make-up was a little heavier than normal again, but she didn't fell like portraying the sweet and innocent girl if word had leaked that she and Cameron were together. She didn't want to ruin his image.

When she finished getting ready, she found a note on the table for her to call Riley when she was ready, since Cameron had to be at the venue early. Riley would have her ticket and backstage pass. She dialed the number he left for her, and fifteen minutes later, she was in a car with Riley on the way to Cameron's show.

Riley didn't say much to her, and she figured he didn't like her too much. But it didn't matter. She was Cameron's girl.

After the show, it was the same scene as every other time: crowds of people, mostly women, all waiting for Cameron to make his appearance. Madison used her head, and stood near the door so that she was one of the first people he'd see when he came in. And true to form, she was, and he didn't hesitate to sweep her into his arms and kiss her silly.

She could hear a lot of the girls groan behind her, and some of them even left. The ones that stayed gave new credence to the phrase "If looks could kill." They hated her, and they wanted her gone. It was plain to see that they saw Cameron as a competition, and they were more than happy to get their names and pictures in the papers.

But Cameron didn't leave her side, and when they had put in a sufficient amount of time, they left and headed for a club he had promised an appearance while he was in Chicago.

They were ushered to the VIP room, where they had a private table waiting for him, and a couple of his 'people', which included Riley and a few of his band members.

The drinks started flowing, and Madison felt the urge to dance. Cameron was more than happy to comply with her wishes as they made their way to the VIP dance floor. Both of them danced as if they were the only ones in the club, creating so much heat between them that they ditched the club much faster than they had anticipated. They didn't even bother to tell anyone in their entourage that they were going, but their intentions couldn't have been clearer to anyone who saw the way they danced together.

The driver of the town car got an eyeful as he drove them back to the hotel. They couldn't keep their hands off each other. They had promised that it would be slow, but damned if the heat was too much for both of them.

The stripping started in the elevator as Madison unbuttoned Cameron's shirt and pulled it from his body. They fumbled to their suite, and after a few tries with their lips locked together, the door finally opened, and the rest of their clothes were shed.

"I can't go slow anymore," he said, even as he reached between her legs and felt the wetness there. Madison dropped her chin and moaned, arching into his hand.

"I can't either..."

"Where..."

"Right here."

They didn't make it to the bed, not even to the bedroom. He simply picked her up with his broad hands planted firmly on her ass and held her against the wall, at just the right angle to slide into her. One long thrust and they both moaned together. The long days of agonizing desire were finally being sated.

"I'm so glad I'm not too drunk this time," she said, and he laughed hard.

He took her against the wall, right next to the door. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and held on, pressing her feet into his ass, rocking with him in a rhythm that threatened to make him come if he didn't slow down. He finally pushed hard against her, giving her no more room to move. His hand snaked between them as he looked up into her eyes.

Neither of them said a word as he played her as easily as one of the instruments on his stage. She panted with pleasure, her eyes bright with passion, until she suddenly arched her back so hard he stumbled backward. She came with a shout. He watched as her whole body flushed with red, as though she was blushing from head to toe with the power of her orgasm.

"Let's see if you can do that again," he said, and didn't let up with his hand. His cock was throbbing with need, but what he had just seen was too hot to have just once.

By the time she was at the second orgasm, he couldn't hold back any longer. His valiant effort abandoned, he thrust into her again, hard and fast. She was so close that this time, all it took was the pounding pressure of his body against hers to get her off. She didn't even try to be quiet - this time she squealed so loudly that Cameron was certain all the other hotel guests heard them.

Not that he cared.

He pushed into her one last time and came. He bit down on her shoulder to stifle his own cries; she would have a neat line of bruises there in the morning. Madison wrapped her body tighter around him and held him against her until the last of his orgasm shuddered through him.

When it was over, sheer exhaustion overtook both of them. Cameron's legs started to shake. He lowered her feet to the floor, and she kept going down, pulling on his hand as she did. They both wound up on the floor, on top of a pile of discarded clothes.

"That was...insanely good," she said, and yawned.

Cameron laughed weakly. He wasn't sure he could stand up anytime soon. He felt dizzy and euphoric, sleepy and happy all at the same time. He turned and spooned into Madison, feeling her breathing as it slowed, his hand pressed against her heart.

A
fter Cameron had carried Madison's sleeping form to bed, he lay there watching her for a while. Taking in the features of her face, he knew without a doubt she was the most beautiful woman he had ever known. His finger traced the spots he loved; her eyebrows, her nose, her cheek bones, her jaw bone, and most importantly, lips that were red and swollen from their kissing.

Feeling his soft touch on her skin, Madison stirred awake. Cameron leaned over and kissed her. "I thought it was the man that was supposed to roll over and go to sleep after sex?"

Madison blushed. "I'm so sorry. I guess you really wore me out."

Cameron loved the dichotomy of her innocence and her passion. She was beyond a willing and eager lover while they were having sex, but then she seemed embarrassed that she fell asleep. It was just one of the traits that he loved about her.

And she always kept him guessing. She was a hard worker and poured her heart and soul into her restaurant, but she also knew how to have fun, or at least she was learning. She was a great friend, but it was a challenge to gain her trust. Everything about her simply felt right; she thrilled him and made him feel comfortable at the same time. It was an amazing feeling that he hadn't experience with anyone else.

Madison broke through his thoughts with a strange look on her face. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Sorry, just thinking," he said. "I'm glad you decided to give 'us' a chance. And I'm not saying that because of the mind blowing sex."

Madison reached over and pinched him as she blushed. "You better not make me regret it, Cameron Rome!"
