Chapter Fifteen
"You left with Mitch because you wanted to get back at me?" Jensen asked.
"No... Why the hell would you even think that. I'm not you. You are the one who has been holding a stupid grudge. I left with Mitch because I thought he cared about me and I wanted to try to make things work between us. Just like I told you that night. I wanted something meaningful with someone and he was there... And you weren't"
"You should have stayed when I asked you to" Jensen said. "You knew you wanted to be with me. You went against your every instinct and left with that bastard."
Hurt lanced deeper through Katherine.
"How dare you?" she said.
"Oh, come off it. I know you. Sometimes maybe even more than you know yourself. You think I didn't see the doubt on your face when we talked that night? You knew he was wrong for you, that you were making a mistake. And you left with him anyways"
"Oh really?" Kath

They entered the lobby and Jensen waved the senior guard away when he offered to escort them."This way." he said.He strode across the atrium to the bank of lifts set against the east wall. She kept up, her heels clicking in tandem with his."When is the opening of the building?" she asked."Unofficially, it's open." he replied. "Businesses are moving in but the official ceremony is two weeks after your opening."He stabbed the button for the lift, and waited for her to precede him when the doors slid open. She strolled to the back of the carriage, turned and rested her shoul-ders against the polished mirrored wall. She angled her body in a way that subtly thrust her chest and hips forward and it was all he could do not to drool at the lush display of her figure.Damn, everything about her turned him on. It was going to be a huge fucking problem.The doors opened d

"Are you still here". He asked angrily. "Can't you take a hint?"With the toe of his shoe, he nudged the stray dog aside as he unlocked the door."Beat it" he said.But the dog looked at him with sad eyes and lay back down on the step, and rested his head on his forepaws."Suit yourself" Jensen grumbled. "But don't expect me to feed you"He slammed the door so hard when he got in. He moved to the kitchen. Taking a soda from the refrigerator, he stood and drank half the soda in one swallow. He rolled the cold can against his forehead.He didn't want or welcome anything on his life that made him feel or think. He was so pissed. He felt hollow and empty, and he liked it that way. He planned to keep out that way. Did that stupid dog think he was running some kind of shelter or something."Damm it" he muttered.Minutes later, he brought some food to the

Jensen smiled, it was cute. How she worried about him.He got up and went to sit on her couch with her. He gave her a hug and peck on her cheek."I understand, Elaine". He said. "And I appreciate you worrying about me and looking out for me. But you don't have to. Believe me I'm fine. I promise... Okay?".Elaine gave him a look. "That's what you used to say after she left. You said you were fine when you clearly weren't. You were clearly hurting and you shut everyone out""Well I am fine now.. And that's not going to happen this time. I've got this""Are you happy that she is back?" Elaine asked."I honestly don't know, Elaine" Jensen replied. "Why do you ask? It doesn't matter""You still love her, don't you, Jensen?" Elaine asked."No... I mean. It doesn't matter. All I'm doing is letting her get a store in my building, Elaine. Chill okay, It's no

Jensen laughed again."So do you like it here, Tim? How has it been since you moved?" Jensen asked.Yeah I guess I like it. I have always wanted to come here. So I can be with my grandma and grandpa, and my Uncle Jon. But mom didn't want to at first. I was so happy when she finally changed her mind... I kinda miss my friends though but my mom said I can make new ones" Tim said."And how's that going?""Pretty good I guess""That's good. And now you can count me as one of your friends""Really?" Tim asked."Yeah. Sure. Your mom and I used to be really close when we were little""Well, she never told me that. And you never visited us.. Why didn't you?" Tim asked."Well. Sometimes life just separates people. People just you know... Loose touch. You understand?""I'm not sure I do, but I guess it's the same with my frie

"I'm not fighting you, Jensen" her voice was hoarse, almost in a whisper. "I'm just trying to be considerate. I know you probably have a lot to do and I don't want to waste your time". Katherine said.He raised one of his hands and a finger brushed her chin. "Being considerate would be to let me do whatever the fuck I want. I want to do this. And it's my time, Kat. I will waste it how I like... So you will let me help you, Kat... Deal?".He extended his hand. She took it."Deal" she repeated.Her hand was small. Jensen thought. It was cool, and dry and soft. The feel of it left an impression after he released it.His eyes seemed to see right through her. Katherine swallowed. He did everything with the same intensity — Talk, stare, kiss, touch....maybe make love.She tried not to think about it. It was the one thing they never got to."I'm glad Tim isn't Mitch's kid,

"It's no big deal" Katherine said, trying to act like she wasn't bothered....And failing."No really" he continued. "My life was actually really amazing when you were in it. We spent really great times together, you know. I hated it when you left. I still don't get why you had to leave.""I was doing the right thing" Katherine said."Oh please" he said. "You honestly still think leaving was the right thing. You family was right here. I was here. The truth is you just couldn't listen. You are so smart and I just don't understand how you couldn't see just how bad Mitch was for you. Even after I told you"Katherine got really upset after he said that. "You know let's face it. That's the only reason why you are so mad at me, because I didn't listen to you. Oh God forbid Jensen Packard doesn't get his way""That's not true.. And you know it. We had something amazing between us. It's not my fault you deci

He moved closer, reducing the inches that separated them, noticing the tip of her tongue as it snaked out to moisten her lips.Katherine swallowed. What was going on? She thought. What was he doing? The gap between them was closing, and instinct made her step backwards—away from his inexorable path towards her.He moved closer still. Katherine stopped moving and he grabbed her and pulled her against his hard body."J—Jensen! What do you think you are doing?'He heard her stumbled words with a triumphant kick of pleasure. He liked knowing that she reacted that way towards him. Even if she was trying really hard to act like she didn't want him anymore.She stared up at him with widened eyes. She put her hands against his chest to stop him. But that was a mistake because when she placed her hands on him, all she wanted to do was run her hands all over his chest and cling to him.He sta

He was so hard, Katherine thought.She leaned her weight into him. It made her want to laugh with the heady power she had over him. She skimmed her nibbling mouth across the hardness of his jaw into the flesh in his throat, fingers digging at his collar to expose more of him to her busy mouth.She couldn't think of any other place she would rather be at that moment but in his arms.The sound of a car pulling into the driveway brought them back to earth —back to reality. They stopped.Katherine moved a few inches away from him. Hurriedly adjusting her clothes and her hair. Trying to look presentable and hoping no one would be able to guess what they had been doing.Gosh. She thought. What the hell came over her. All it took was one kiss from him and she turned into that girl she was years ago... Wanting him so badly. Turns out there were some things time couldn't change.
