2024-10-29 19:42:56His long legs were stretched out before him, his hair a rumpled dark mop as his chin rested on his chest.
Katherine lay quietly looking at Jensen. His beard was think and black now. Long, silky lashes swept shadows across his weary face. He was wearing the same clothes as that morning. Or was it morning now? She frowned, the motion tightening the tape on her forehead.
Her arm ached as she touched the heavy white bandage on her head. Her palms burned slightly. Again she felt the splinters shooting into them, the fiery pain as they speared into her skin.
Jensen shifted in the chair. He straightened and whispered huskily. "Ah, sleeping beauty awakes" he said. He leaned over her, sleep still shrouding his dark eyes. In the muted light, a haggard, disheveled man looked at her with love. To Katherine. He was beautiful.
His hard mouth lifted wryly. "You really did it this time, Kitty Kat" he rumbled gently

Katherine turned her head and kissed his rough palm. "Jensen, you need to rest" she said."I'm not letting you out of my sight, Kat" he growled, then grinned ruefully as he realized he must. "That little general gave me two minutes before she kicks me out" His expression stilled into one of urgency."Katherine, you mean everything to me. I can't explain how I feel" he said gruffly. His grin returned slowly. "Will you give me a kiss to sleep on, honey?""Just put your bearded face where I can reach it, darling" Katherine said.His breath touched her face. Familiar scents drifted about her. A new softness marked the swift brush of his lips to hers. "Are you all right, Kat?" he whispered.Katherine didn't reply at first. She showered tiny kisses on his parted lips. "Are you?" she asked him instead.His tongue trailed around her mouth. "Not until I can hold you again, and you know that you are min

"Good" Delia said. "I have missed you all. All of you. So I mean what I said before, when you are feeling better, I'm inviting all of you to dinner at the house.Jensen, Delia and Jonathan talked in hushed voices while Katherine pulled Tim closer and they talked about his school. All the while Jensen's hand rested lightly on her shoulder, his thumb caressing her collarbone beneath the pink satin.When the discussion touched on Katherine's health, Jensen stated. "I have arranged for that nurse to stay with Katherine for a few days after she goes home. The doctor said she will be fit to travel in about a week, and I have a business trip to San Francisco. I want her to come with me" His expression was guarded as he looked down at her. "Will you come with me, Katherine?" he added softly.Katherine stared at Jensen's intense face. He was asking for a commitment from her. He wanted her to acknowledge his poss

Katherine leaned over and touched his lips lightly with hers. He was a beautiful hunk, a business magnate, and he was hers. But at times, she loved to defy him. It produced such interesting consequences."Hey, what was that?" he exclaimed. "Your kisses have improved measurably since right after the accident but that dry little thing can't possibly count. I think I will just screw the fact that we are on a plane and collect a real sizzler of a kiss" he teased.Katherine's yawn produced his heavy browned frown. She apologized with a smile. "I'm just messing with you, Jensen" she said."You better be" he said and she chuckled.He turned away from her and Katherine watched him. Something unpleasant was netting him. She read it in the muscle tightening in his cheek and the jut of his jaw. "What is wrong, Jensen?" she asked softly.One hand lifted to glide through his hair.&nbs

She turned to Jensen, noting how his masculinity clashed with the delicate patterns of the room."I wanted you to myself" he murmured. "There is a chef and a maid available if you want them. But I have ordered the staff to appear only on demand""Did you fix this room specially for me?" Katherine asked. She smoothed the satin drapes at the large windows.He moved to stand behind her, his arms sliding around her waist to draw her back against his body, his face tucked into the curve of her neck and shoulder."Yes" he replied. "Do you like it?"Katherine leaned against him. He was solid and warm, and so necessary to her. She sighed contentedly."I love it" she said softly."I'm glad you are here, Kat" he said quietly. He lifted her bandaged hand for his inspection. "You aren't to get this wet until the stitches come out. Either the maid or I will help you bath" He bre

"You gave me no time" he said. Then laughed when her hands went lower."Hey!" he growled roughly. "You are touching a delicate area there!"Katherine withdrew her finger tips, slid them over his steel hard hips. "I like touching you, Jensen. I love it actually" She cupped his lean buttocks. "This is a fascinating part of your anatomy. Looks great on tight jeans. You could pose for a pinup calendar... One of those sexy ones with the bare, hairy chest and just the top button of your jeans undone"Jensen's smile matched the come hither smile of the poster models —soft and sexy and all male. Heavy sensuality washed over her as he shifted against her with a new surge of desire. His thigh edged between hers and he entered her."Maybe I will taste just a little of this..." He said. He lowered his head and nuzzled the softness of her breast before taking her nipple into the heated moistness of his mouth. At the

Jensen demonstrated all the ease of a man well contented this morning, Katherine noted with a tender smile. She felt pride rise within her.. She was the cause of his contentment.Her fingertip rimmed his mouth. "I would like to. But I'm exhausted by certain strenuous activities. I need to rest" She added softly. "I will be waiting when you return, darling"She kissed him with new found expertise. "Call me if you like. I will be here" she said.He nuzzled the soft spot behind her ear. "I like this, honey" he said."What?" It was difficult to think as Jensen's mouth and hands caressed her body. Impossible, she decided, as his hips shifted and his hardness pressed into her."You here" he replied simply. "You here with me"--------------------------After he left, Katherine returned to the bed they had shared, hugged Jensen's pillow to her, and slept until noon. S

"Of course I am" Jensen said. His righteous male tome earned Katherine's pinch. "Ouch, you little devil" He rubbed his side. "What was that for?""Equality" Katherine replied.---------------------------Jensen carried the mound of packages across the living room and dumped them on the couch. He turned to Katherine."Come here, woman. I want my kiss" he said.Later he said. "That was worth waiting for. Do you have any idea how hard it was keeping my hands to myself while you tried on those clothes. At one point considered tossing you over my shoulder and running out of Mrs Darcy's. That black lace evening gown did it. The front barely covered the necessities. And the back was low enough to show the two cute dimples at the base of your backbone ""Your expression made me decide against the dress" Katherine responded with a smile. "It bordered

She rubbed the tip of his nose with her own and whispered against his mouth. "Go on, my darling" she said."I realized once more at the party tonight what you mean to me" Jensen said. "Your presence there helped me to put the past and future in perspective. I want... I need" he corrected. "You to keep me sane. You can't imagine how much you mean to me. You have captured every part of me, Kat""You were hard to take at first, Jensen" Katherine agreed. "Arrogant —making waves in my very smooth life. I never realized how narrowly focused my life was until you entered it. I thought I had everything I wanted. With Tim I was happy. But you created shambles out of the neat order. Suddenly, I had to deal not only with one very desirable male, but also with who I was and what I wanted from life.""My darling" she continued. "You made me realize my life needed to be lived" she kissed him gently."You wan

She cuddled deeper into his embrace. She hadn’t lied about the cuddling part. She had missed him so much. And she was just so glad to be in the arms of the man she loved.She loved this man. She loved her husband. And she wanted him to come home. She shook her head when she realized that he was talking and she hadn't been listening.“We have options,” Jensen said.She blinked and focused her attention back on the here and now and the fact she was in bed after hot, sweaty sex with the man she loved.It was all she could do not to groan.“What options?” she asked huskily.“I can feed you. I can make mad, passionate love to you again. Or we can take a short nap and then do either option one or two. Or both. See? I’m easy.” he said.She smiled and squeezed him. She did love him.

“Ride me,” he said in a strained voice. His pupils dilated and his brow constricted. Tight lines were etched into his forehead, and his hands gripped her hips so tightly that she could do nothing more than squeeze her inner muscles around his erection.“Sweat heaven,” he groaned.She wasn’t going to last, and she was helpless to do anything about it. She needed to move. She had to move.Placing her palms flat on his chest, she wiggled free of his grasp and began to move up and down, taking him, releasing him, then taking him again. Sweat beaded his brow. His eyes were narrow slits, and he never took his gaze from hers. He urged her closer so he could cup her breasts. They filled both palms and he rubbed the pad of his thumb over the painfully erect nubs.“I can’t hold on,” she whispered.“Then let’s go together,” h

His breath blew hot over her chin and then her jaw. He kissed a line to her ear then sucked the lobe between his teeth. Shivers overtook her. Delicate little goose bumps dotted her flesh until she trembled uncontrollably.He stepped back, his hands falling to the waistband of her pants. His fingers hung in the snap and he stood there staring at her heaving chest.“You’re so beautiful.” he said. "I have missed you so much"He raised one finger to hook in the strap of her bra. He ran it up then down, and he grazed the tip over the swell of her breast.“I love the lingerie.” he said.She leaned back on the dresser, resting her palms on the top to give him a better glimpse of her cleavage.“You’re absolutely merciless, aren’t you?” he murmured.She smiled and arched invitingly until the bare

“Get it together, Katherine” she muttered.Lord, but she did lose all her brain cells when it came to Jensen.She laughed outright and it had the effect of someone popping her thought bubble with a sharp pin. The driver looked up in the rearview mirror, and she valiantly tried to look back with a straight face. If he only knew the absurd thoughts she was processing.If she was truly the naughty girl of her fantasies, she would have ridden over with only a trench coat covering her sexy lingerie. Then when she walked into Jensen's room, she could discard the coat and watch his reaction.The idea certainly had merit, and if she ever received another invitation such as tonight from him again, she’d give it serious consideration. Just to tease him. But for now, she would concentrate on the moment.A few minutes later, the driver pulled up to the sumptuous hotel Jensen had been staying in since he moved

"All they needed was some convincing. I'm finalizing the documents for the dissolution of the partnership. I know you might find it hard to forgive me, but I don't want us to grow apart over this. No one is worth it. So please tell me that you want me back home too, Kat. And maybe this is a little too fast, but I don't care, I wanna be with you tonight. It's been so long. Let me hold you tonight."Katherine sighed. Oh, the man really knew how to get to her, with his words, his touch, his kisses. Everything. “Jensen,” she began again, and promptly shut up when it came out more as a plaintive wail than a protest.“I’ll send a car for you, Katherine." he said." You are my wife. But I want this to be special, kinda like a first date like you said. I’ll have my driver pick you up from work, or if you prefer, you can drive your car to the house and I’ll have him pick you up there.

He looked at her almost like the last was a challenge. She tilted her chin up and stared coolly at him. She hoped that she looked as unruffled as she wanted to portray.“Why did you come to my office today, Jensen?” she asked.His mouth tightened briefly before he relaxed and eyed her with thinly veiled amusement. “We are married, Kat " he said."I can't take my wife to lunch?”She curled her fingers into tight fists.“Jensen.” she said. She stopped when her voice cracked. She felt like the worst sort of idiot. Right now, she felt ridiculously tongue tied.“Yes?” he prompted. He wore a curious smile, almost as if he found her and the situation amusing. It made her angry.“Look Jensen, I'm not going to act like I didn't miss you. I did. But I don't know what you are up to, and if you think that —.”

Behind the desk, a cheerful looking younger woman smiled a warm welcome as he approached.“Good morning, Mr Packard" she said. "And welcome. I assume you are here to see Mrs Packard.”He returned her smile. “Is she in?” he asked.“Yes. But she is not here right now. If you will wait in her office, I’ll get her at once. Would you care for some coffee?” she asked.“No, thank you.” he said, he wasn't sure he could keep anything down right now.She turned to stride down the hallway, leaving Jensen standing there. He walked into Katherine's office and went to the window to look down on the street instead of sitting.A few moments later, he heard the tap tap of heels and turned to see Katherine walk into the office, a confused, wary look in her eyes.“Jensen,” she greeted. “I wasn’t expecting to see you. I thought you were going to San Francisco. T

"Oh" Jensen said. "I gotta say that I'm really glad you told me about this. It's kinda hard to believe how fast you have grown. I mean, there was a time when all you cared about was video games, but now here you are, having girl problems"Tim grinned. "Don't tease me dad" he said."I'm not. I'm not" Jensen said, raising his hands. "And I gotta say that In my time, I was never turned down by a girl. Not bragging"Tim rolled his eyes and smiled. "Show off" he said, and Jensen laughed."But," Jensen continued, "With your mom, I hesitated. I was stupid. Didn't know what I had. I was enjoying all the attention I was getting that I forgot to go after the one thing that mattered, and I almost lost her. So I say, suck it up kid. To hell with that fear.

"Yeah right" Tim said sarcastically. "I know how stuff like this happens. I watch a lot movies and I know how stuff like this goes. This is how it starts and before you know it, they are giving you a speech about how it isn't your fault and that sometimes things just doesn't work out. I just don't want to have that talk with my parents. I know how much they love each other"Chloe nodded. "Okay" she said. "I can't say that I understand because I don't. My parents aren't... Divorced. But I'm certain that whatever it is, it's not your fault. And honestly, there is nothing you can do about but hope that they find a way to fix their problems. And sometimes, they might just be going through a tough time. Doesn't mean they are gonna get a divorce, so you might just be worried for nothing. Come on" she nudged his shoulder. "You can't be worrying about this when nothing permanent has happened. Remember you have a game next week. One of you have been training for a long time
