"Alright." Kara answered and hung up the phone. James was looking at her with his one brow raised in question."Someone is waiting for you." she responded and started dressing up again properly. She combed her fingers through her hair to make them less messy. James sighed heavily in disappointment before he started fixing up his own clothes.He was turned around showing his back to her while buttoning his shirt when he felt her hug from behind, "we need to stop doing this in the office. Anyone can see us any time."James put his hands on her arms and brought her to the front, hugging her as his arms wrapped around her waist, "I don't mind."Kara's eyes shot up to meet his in surprise. If it were the same James as three years ago, he would never even have let her be seen alone in the same room as himself, let alone discovered by others in a compromising position. He had always been vary of his family, of them seeing their relationship as anything more than

"You brought her?" Tasha asked."She is the company owner. How can I forget her?" Damon grinned.James cursed himself for missing out on it. "He did not want to come alone, so I thought I should give him some company." Damon smiled down at her and squeezed her waist gently, making James' gaze drop to the where his arm was resting."Thankfully, party is not as boring as I had thought." Damon responded.When some of Damon's friend approached him, he excused himself and took Kara along to chat. Once they were out of earshot, Tasha turned to James and smirked,"So... your fiancee?"Jame grabbed a shot from the table and gulped it down. As he put the empty glass back on the counter, he responded nonchalantly, "Fiancee... would be fiancee... same thing.""Overconfident, aren't you?" Tasha snickered.James shrugged his shoulders in indifference and turned back to look at Damon and Kara. Kara's gaze was on him but turned a

When Kara came out, she found James dancing with Tasha on a very sensual song on the stage. Tasha was moving around James, clearly trying to keep his full attention on herself to seduce him but his eyes were searching for Kara only. Although in his anger James had spat out the words that came to his mind, he still wanted to see Kara only, or more like the jealousy and look of defeat on her face.What he did not know was that he was now dealing with the new Kara, not the one who was too shy to even look in his direction when he was in the same room as her.The song was a sensual dancing number with an upbeat theme, the DJ was doing an excellent job at keeping the guests entertained until his eyes fell on something. His mouth was open as he stared at something, or rather someone. Tasha was irritated at the sudden change that became apparent in the atmosphere. James looked around in confusion and found every man in the party looking at something with full attention. He tu

"Get the stretchers ready.""Are there any casualties?""... No, two patients, heavily injured. Car fell down the hill."The broken sounds barely fell in Kara's years as she came in and out of consciousness. As soon as the car went down, they collided with rocks and she did not even realize when she became unconscious. As she heard the voices, she realized the doctors were talking about her and Damon. She felt a bit of relief knowing Damon was still alive, but afraid too because the pain her body was severe enough for her to realize that the injuries they had suffered were not small ones.*****"Kara?" Someone gently patted her face, "Kara, are you awake?"

"Stay here." James bent his head down and kissed her forehead, his hand holding the back of her head in his palm, "I might be back after an hour or so.""It is fine. I am finally getting some time to chill." Kara grinned enthusiastically.After so much arguments and discussions James had finally agreed to go to work, but only if Kara accompanied him there and stayed with him inside the office. He was completely in control of every minute that she breathed.James nodded his head and stood up to walk away. He straightened, but stayed in his place for a few more minutes, not really wanting to leave her alone. His heart would not stop wanting to stay near her. With everything going on and even before that, he had almost lost her. Now that she was in front of his eyes, he stayed assured she
