“Who said I would be embarrassed?” I asked, laughing.
“Ah, a bad influence already.” Cam laughed.
“Stop it. She would never d…,” I started to say as Emmy yanked on my bikini top and my nipple began to show.
God, I can’t believe she did that.
“What did I tell you, and you wouldn’t listen,” he laughed.
I looked down at my bare nipple and slowly raised my hand to cover myself. I glanced up and could see that Cam had stopped work and was looking at my breast.
“It looks like you both think it’s time for a drink,” I said with a sultry smile.
“Oh, sorry. I was just admiring,” Cam said, slightly embarrassed.
“Oh yeah, admiring what, soldier?” I replied cheekily as I pulled my top back over my breast.
“You know, I was just looking at how well she likes you. It’s like she has known you for a while,” Cam said as he continued to work.
Hmm, soldier likes what he sees.
I sat and watched Cam as he lifted the heavy pavers and placed them in position. I found it a real turn on watching a fit man working. He was not afraid to get down and get dirty. Cam's arms bulged as he lifted the pavers, he was like a machine. My body warmed as I watched him.
Emmy kept me busy while I watched Cam, she was a cute little thing, and it looked like she enjoyed me playing with her.
“So, you said you had not been out since your wife died, so does that mean you have not been on a date?” I asked.
Cam stopped work and looked at me. “Yeah something like that, the time has just flown by it seems.”
“Wow, that is a long time without being close to someone,” I replied.
Cam stood and faced me. He told me he’d not even considered dating, and that all his focus had been on his daughter. I couldn’t help but think how his body would be if he were close to a woman again. Gosh, he would have so much sexual energy inside of him, he would be like a caged animal that was set free.
Cam stood up straight and wiped the sweat from his brow. “Emmy seems to like you, and you’re a bit closer than Mrs. Hyndley. So, maybe I could call on you if anything comes up and I want you for anything.”
“So, if I’m not sitting, it could be another date?” I asked, smiling and biting my bottom lip.
“Hang on there. Another date? You think last night was a date?” He had a glint of humor in his eyes.
“Well we did have fun, and we spent more time together than at the party,” I replied.
“I was just trying to sober you up and get you home, and look how that ended up, Mrs. Hyndley was fast asleep on the couch when I got in, so a date… it wasn’t really,” he replied with a grin.
“I can see that you look all hot and bothered. Let me fix you a drink,” I said as I stood with Emmy.
“It’s okay. I’m fine,” he licked his full lips.
“I insist, because if you go and get one, you will track all that dirt in the kitchen, and then you’ll be after a cleaner. Then you will have me on my hands and knees before you know it,” I laughed.
“Now there’s a thought!” he said as he looked at me and smiled a perfect, wide smile.
I hitched up Emmy in my arms and walked to the kitchen door. I wiggled my ass because I knew Cam would watch me. I entered the small kitchen and placed Emmy in her high chair, I made her a cup of her juice and noticed a little bonnet on the counter. I put it on her head, and she looked so cute.
I looked into the refrigerator and could see that Cam had some fresh lemons, I made him a pitcher of my secret recipe lemonade. I poured him a tall glass and picked Emmy up and held her in my arms.
I exited the kitchen back into the late morning sun and crossed the new patio to the edge of where Cam had completed. I stood close to him as he played with Emmy and sipped on his ice-cold drink. Cam touched Emmy’s face, and his arm brushed over mine. There was a magnetism, a chemistry between us. Shivers shot up my spine, and my arms became covered in tiny goosebumps. I shuddered with excitement just being near him.
“Wow, this is tasty lemonade,” he said as he sipped again.
“I have a lot more things that I’m sure you’d enjoy the taste of,” I replied as I gazed into his eyes.
“I’m sure you do Katie, I’m sure you do!” he grinned and took his drink in hand.
“Maybe I will let you try something soon,” I cooed to him softly.
“Well, they do say the fresher the peach, the juicier it is,” he replied as he gazed down into my eyes.
“My peach is always fresh and juicy,” I responded with a wink.
“I’m not sure which is hotter at the moment… you or the sun,” he laughed.
“I’m glad you finally noticed,” I replied as I licked my finger and touched my ass and made a sizzling sound. “Scorching hot!”
“Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. I thought it was just a summer job you were after,” he replied, beads of sweat collecting on his forehead as he watched me intently.
“Come on Cam, lighten up a bit,” I replied.
“It’s not that, it has been a long time for me, so I’m out of practice,” he replied as he placed his empty glass on the table.
As I stood close to Cam I realized I enjoyed his company, he had a maturity about him and talked much more sense than the idiots I typically dated. He also had a much hotter body and was more compassionate toward my feelings than other guys. Emmy was also enjoying being with me, and I found myself enjoying being with her.
“Well if you’re not in need of a sitter, maybe I could stop by sometime and keep you both company?” I asked as I smiled and played with Emmy.
“I don’t know. It might not be such a wise thing to do.”
“I tell you what, I’ll give you my number, and if you want me for anything, you can just call me,” I replied as I looked for something to write with.
“It’s okay. There’s no-” Cam started to say.
I picked his cell phone from the table. “Even better, I will add my number to your phone then you won’t conveniently lose my number,” I said smiling and joking.
I took his cell phone and entered my name into his contact lists page. I called my cell phone just to make sure the number was correct.
“There you go. And now you have access to me when you decide you need me, or if you want me,” I said in a sexy, flirty tone.
“Mhm, I will keep it in mind,” Cam said.
“Well you never know, you may just want some company after Emmy is asleep,” I said as I turned away from him and walked back to the chair.
I continued to play with Emmy and watch Cam as he worked. He seemed deep in thought, but he continued to look in my direction on every possible occasion. I sat with Emmy on my lap and continued to bounce her up and down as she gurgled and smiled.
Emmy pulled my hair over my face, and I peeked through the light blonde strands. Cam had stopped work and was stretching his muscles and his shoulders. Although the pavers were heavy, I was sure he was flexing them just for my benefit.
Oh, God.
“I could do with a rub down once I have finished this and had a shower,” he said as his chest muscles flexed and danced in the sunlight.
“You could do with a massage. I mean, you don’t want to be stiff when you least expect it,” I replied with a wink.
“And I suppose you know how to massage?” Cam asked.
“A little, but not good enough to get rid of you being stiff. I might make you stiffer,” I replied with a sexy tone. God, I was so fucking attracted to him. So much more than I had been around other guys in the past. Maybe it was because he was older, established and dominant looking. My body clenched as my pussy grew wet.
I sat and watched Cam flexing and stretching; imaging myself soaping a sponge and rubbing it softly over his body as the sweat and dirt fell from him. I’d caress his hard muscles as he rested his hands against the shower wall. God, I could lay him down and rub oil in my hands and begin to rub my hands acros
s his shoulders. Then let my hands rub his back, and move slowly down his body. I could remove the towel and see the cheeks of his ass, and then run my hands from his spine to his….
“Katie, Katie, hello is there anybody there?” Cam called and whistled toward me. “Stick to babysitting, it looks like you know what you’re doing there,” Cam said as he started work again.
“I told you I was a natural with kids,” I replied.
“Well, it does look that way, you might think different though when you have your own, and you’re up at three am in the morning changing a diaper,” Cam replied laughing.
“That will be about the time I come home from a night out!” I laughed.
“You would have a different mentality than you do now, you will realize kids are not a plaything. They are something to be nurtured and protected,” Cam stopped work and looked in my direction with a serious face.
“So, what are you trying to say, Cam?”
“You will have to be more responsible, the days of being yourself will go, and you will have a kid to think about. And it’s a tremendous responsibility,” Cam said looking more serious, reminding me of Dad. The Admiral.
“I can do that, no sweat, you should try me and see how I cope,” I replied. “As a sitter, I mean.” I laughed and tried to lighten the mood a little.
“Maybe I will take you up on your offer. It could be just the thing I need.” Cam started to clean the patio with a broom.
“What do you think you will need from me then Cam? Hey… a sitter or a date?” I had to tease him. It was too fun not to.
Cam smiled and looked at me. “I will have to think about that one carefully.” His body was perfect, and his eyes melted me.
Chapter 7
Cam
I had a new set of cadets and was giving them a taste of what it was like to be a SEAL. The base had the beach training ground and assault course, but it was not as tough for the cadets. We did have the famous bell they could ring once they decided to quit and admit ultimate defeat.
“Come on maggots!” I screamed as the cadets climbed the obstacle course.
I heard sounds of moans, groans and frequent cursing. Earlier, one kid had puked after he had completed the five-mile run. I had no idea how they would cope with the full training that SEALs get. For most of them, it would be at least three or four times harder than what they were used to doing.
I glanced down the beach and watched and could see the other physical trainers mouthing obscenities at the cadets. I watched as they crawled through the shit under the nets and ran through the tires. As I lifted my gaze and looked at the ships in the harbor, I missed those days of heading out at the start of a tour, and the anticipation of what would happen when we arrived at our destination. I sighed and looked back into the pipe where cadets were crawling through the water. Some of them had come up gasping for air.
“Just ring that fucking bell, and it will all be over,” I screamed as my face became red. I had to be tougher than nails.
“No!” Cadet Gracey said.
“Gracey, what did you just fucking say to me?” I bellowed. “Ring that bell and admit your defeat!”
“No Sir, never, I’m not going to ring your bell, Sir,” he shouted back.
“You will Gracey, you will ring that fucking bell. Ding fucking dong. You’re weak, and you will be defeated. Now, move your fucking fat ass… one more lap,” I screamed as I watched him, exhausted.
I grabbed each cadet who exited from the pipe. They all looked at the bell and wanted to ring it, but the thought of quitting drove them on and on.
“Sir,” I heard from behind me.
I turned and could see that one of my office staff had a message.
“Sir, the Admiral wants to see you in his office stat,” Kevin said as he stood to attention.
“Geez, Kevin, how many times have I told you, you don’t always have to stand to attention, for me during training,” I replied.
“Habit Sir,” he replied as he saluted me and smiled.
We walked back from the beach and jumped into an awaiting jeep. The base was huge and to walk it would have taken a good hour. I looked on as we passed a stream of Hummers and personnel carriers which had been readied to be loaded onto some of the aircraft carriers. The constant threat from the new wave of extremists had put the whole world on red alert, and the Marines and SEALs had been on a rotating patrol of hot spot areas.
The jeep pulled up outside of the administration building, and I headed to the Admiral’s office and wondered what it was all about. I had only been once before, and that had been when Owen and I had received our medals.
I glanced back over my shoulder as I entered the building, the vastness of the base just blew my mind, sometimes. It was home to over twenty thousand people and could cater for up to forty ships from the thirteen piers which spread over the whole of the horizon. It was like organized chaos, and the base had been designed and constructed with just two aims; total domination of the enemy, and rigorous training.
The force that was generated from this base alone was quite staggering, and I was proud to be a part of it. I had stood proudly since the very first day I had signed up. I had seen rough times, but I always returned victorious and stronger mentally and physically from what I had endured over the years.
I walked into the building and could instantly feel the aircon’s effect on the environment. The flags ruffled in the chilled air, and the walls homed many photos of past officers who had fought so bravely in combat. I could see the pictures of Owen and me, proudly situated on the wall for “Extreme perseverance and duty to others in battle.”
“The Admiral will see you now,” his receptionist said as I waited.
I turned the door handle on the door and entered the Admiral’s office; the air was still, and there was deadly silence. I stood with my arms at my side and waited for the Admiral to finish in his private quarters.
The Admiral entered, and I saluted him until he told me to be at ease.
“Cam, I’m glad you could come so soon,” he said as he offered me a chair.
As I sat, I hoped it was nothing to do with Katie. She was the last thing I needed to cause me any trouble. She had been persistent in being a sitter and had popped round the house on a few occasions; each time she’d worn something that made her look more than hot, and I had found it more than difficult to keep my hands off her.
“There is no need to be alarmed, this is just a friendly chat,” the Admiral said as he clasped his hands and rested them on his desk.
I glanced around his office and could see dozens of photos of Katie. He really must love her, even though she was a handful. I had to hand it to him, he had done a great job, a single father since his wife left him and raising her. No wonder he's the Admiral. She’s probably harder to control than the whole damn base. I tried not to laugh.
“I heard all about the party the other night, by the way, it sounded like a real blowout from what I heard,” he said as he smiled. “I remember some of mine. God, they were nightmares.”
“It was eventful, Sir,” I said.
“Cam, not so formal, this is nothing to do with work,” he replied.
I really had no thought of what he could want me for, apart from the party, and that conversation would soon be over.
“I should apologize for Katie’s behavior, she can be a little off the rails at times,” he said.
“It was nothing,” I replied.
“Cam, it was something. I love my daughter, and I’m glad you stepped in when you did, I have seen the video on the internet. It could have ended up entirely different if you had not intervened,” the Admiral said in a grateful tone.
“She just needed my help, I couldn’t watch her be abused by someone else,” I said, as my mind went back to the feel of Peter’s nose shattering on my hard elbow.
“That is not why I called you in. I’m worried about her,” he said.
“I can fully understand, I have a little girl all of my ow
n, and I know how it feels to be a father,” I replied as my eyes glinted with the thought of Emmy.
No, no, please don’t ask me to watch over her.
“Now, that was what I wanted to talk to you about Cam, Katie mentioned to me she wants to do something useful, and after the events of the party, she's busy looking for a summer job while she’s at home,” the Admiral explained.
Katie, what have you done?
“Well, Katie loves children and children love her, maybe they have the same mental ages,” the Admiral laughed.
Admiral, you’re not funny!
“So, I was thinking, because she gets on with children, maybe she can go over to yours and help out, it could make things a little easier?” the Admiral asked eagerly as he leaned forward.
Fuck.
I looked at the Admiral and explained. “My daughter already has day care Monday through Fridays. She has her friends there. She might miss them?”
“I understand that, but it could be good for Katie. She could gain a hell of a lot of experience, and she would learn some responsibility,” he went on. “Not only that, but she would have more of a reason to stay home at night rather than going out until one thirty in the morning.”
Did he see me drop Katie off on Friday?
I sat there and listened to the Admiral as he explained about the benefits of Katie helping out, and how it would please him and make her grow up a little. I sensed from the way the conversation was going. He was not asking me to let her help out, he was telling me I had to let her help out.
Damn, Katie. How the fuck can I get out of this?
I looked at the Admiral and gazed into his steely eyes as he spoke. “Much of this has stemmed from the party, if you had just been an average Marine, I would have told her ‘no,’ but, the action you took was very noble and not over the top. You controlled and ended the situation without causing a show, and that shows a lot of self-restraint and maturity,” the Admiral continued to explain.
“I know Katie is grateful and wants to make it up to you in one way or another,” he said in a friendly tone.
