[Cam smiles back, stroking that scar. He’s given that speech what feels like a thousand times, but he’s never stopped meaning it. People like Matt are the reason Cam keeps going when he wants nothing more than to surrender. He could have retired a decade ago to anywhere in the world and lived comfortably on his excellent government pension.
Sometimes, Cam thinks he should. If only he were the type of man who could sit back and do nothing. Maybe he would’ve had a relationship by now instead of a handful flings. Cam has at least one contact in every major hot-zone in the world, many who took him years of trust building and backscratching to win over, but he’s never had a boyfriend.
Looking at Matt, he’s far too young. Especially up close. But he is very handsome, and despite all Cam’s efforts to be something more, he’s only a man, and not a perfect one. For a moment, he wishes he was ignorant to Zenith’s dark underbelly, so he could take advantage of that offer in an entirely selfish way, instead of strategically.
He almost sighs.]
Thank you. I’ll keep that in mind. You’re very sweet.
