Taste of Love - By Stephanie Nicole Page 0,49

when we're together, I trust him more than I trust anyone aside from you. I trust him more than I trust Austin now! It's just when he's gone that I'm not sure about."

It felt delicious to be able to tell someone all the thoughts that were tumbling through her head and heart. Chase, true to what she expected, turned from his usual fun self to a serious giver of advice in an instant.

"I have to admit, I wasn't too sure about him at first, but I'm really starting to think he's a stand-up guy, Madison. And sexy as hell, but that's beside the point."

Madison laughed.

"I know that what we saw at his concert wasn't a good thing, obviously. He was kissing another woman. But did it go further than that? And had you committed yourselves at that point?"

"No, it didn't go further than that, and we hadn't even talked about how we felt about each other at that point. And he told me that he hasn't even kissed another girl in the past few weeks, even though they seem to attack him as he walks through the crowd."

"Well, my dear, the way I look at it, you're never going to know unless you give it a try. Just relax and let yourself go, and see where things lead for once. You're OCD in every other part of your life, so just this once, be impulsive and stop over-thinking every aspect of it," he suggested.

Certain that he was right, Madison thanked him and hung up her cell phone after wishing him luck with Thomas. She closed her eyes and rested her head against the back of the hot tub.

A few minutes later, she had decided. She would let Cameron know tonight that he was right, and she wanted to try a relationship.

Cameron returned from his engagements looking tired and worn out. Madison felt for him, knowing that she had rested, something he didn't have the luxury of doing. He gave her a sleepy smile and led her to the couch.

"Let me just take a shower and I'll take you out to dinner," he told her, followed by a yawn.

"I have a better idea. You go lay down for a little while, and I'll order room service. Deal?"

"Are you sure?" Seeing her nod, he agreed. "On one condition. Once we order room service, tell them to deliver it in an hour, and you come and lay down with me. I'm in the mood to cuddle."

"Ok, but only cuddle!"

He smiled at her innocently. They ordered their dinner and went to lie down in his room. Once under the covers, he turned on his side and pulled her body close, so that they were spooning. His arm wrapped around her stomach tightly, feeling how perfectly she fit beside him. Just before he drifted off to sleep, he promised himself that he would show her that she could trust him, and that he was the man that would make her happy.

Cameron awakened to a knock on the door, feeling more rested than he had in a while. Madison stirred next to him. She moved to get up, but Cameron pulled her back to him. She looked at him to protest, but he shut her up with a soft kiss to her lips. "Thanks for napping with me. I didn't realize how much I needed that."

He got up and went to the door, leaving Madison sitting in bed, touching her lips and smiling.

Over dinner they decided to stay in for the night and watch some movies and relax. They cuddled together on the couch, watching one of the pay-per-view movies the hotel offered, when Madison snatched the remote and put the movie on mute. She sat up and looked at Cameron, who was instantly on guard. He eyed her suspiciously, like she was going to say something he wasn't going to like.

"You were right," she stated simply.

"I usually am, but what was I right about this time?"

"You were right when you said you already had my heart, and you were right to say you already have given me plenty of reasons to trust you." The words rushed out of her mouth.

He smiled. "And this means?"

She exhaled slowly. "This means that I want to give 'us' a try, but I don't want to rush things, especially when you're touring."

Cameron's heart thudded with joy. He was beyond happy that she had come around, and frankly, it had happened sooner than he expected. Not that he was complaining!

"I knew
