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.
Weeks ago he wanted nothing to do with her. Didn't even want to talk about her. Didn't want to feel anything for her.But right now the only thing he wanted to feel right now were the tantalising curves of Katherine's body. He wanted to grab her and kiss her all over again. Finish what they started that morning. Take off her clothes and thrust deep and hard inside her, leave his mark on her for ever.He shook his head.That was a bad idea. And he needed something to occupy his thoughts other than musing about what kind of underwear she was wearing under her clothes.Her voice interrupted his thoughts."Mmm?" he questioned. He looked up and stared at her, thinking how soft and kissable her lips looked."I asked if you would like to stay for dinner?" she asked him."No.. No" he replied hastily. "Actually I think I should better get going""Oh really"
The sheer drapes fluttered at her open window, and a rooster crowed in the distance. The warm morning sliding into her bedroom matched the emotions she had been experiencing since the last time she saw Jensen.She sighed. Another day. But something was different, just like it had been since that day. Proof of that fluttered through her body, which felt restless and unfulfilled.She closed her eyes and saw Jensen Packard, once more felt his body against hers, his lips against hers. Kissing her, holding her and touching her so intimately.Her heart raced beneath her cotton nightgown. She stretched sensuously between the cool sheets, remembering the cotton covered hardness of his broad chest."Mom, are you getting up?"Tim's call cut into her memory, shattering it.Katherine sighed and got out of bed.—————&mdas
"Oh it's no problem, sweetie. Go ahead with what ever you were doing, dear". Jonah said.Knowing him, Katherine knew it was useless to try to argue. She just couldn't understand why Jensen was helping... Again.Well, at least they were getting the work done. She murmured to herself. She returned to the kitchen to continue with her cooking. She heard the lawn mower cross and recross the lawn outside the kitchen window. She glanced outside to view their progress.Jensen was riding the lawn mower past the window. His hair, slightly rumpled, gleamed as the mower crossed from a shadow into a patch of sunlight. He looked like any other neighborhood husband doing his chores with his wife prepared the meal.She watched Tim hop along beside the mower, obviously giving directions. Jensen signaled 'gotcha' with his thumb and index finger. Tim swooped, gathered a handful of grass and threw it at him. The grass caught Jensen ful
