All Chapters of ALWAYS BEEN YOU : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

As nervous as a teenager preparing for her first date, Katherine soaked in a long bubble bath, then shampooed her hair beneath the shower. She rinsed and stepped from the tub."This is silly" she said, mocking her image in the steamy mirror. A ruffle made an upward diagonal across her chest, leaving bare one smooth shoulder. Loose tendrils of hair teased her face, though the knot atop her head was tightly pinned.Katherine lightly dusted her nose with powder, swept blue and green shadow on her eye lids, and brushed her lashes with mascara.She rummaged through her closet for the highest heels she could find, determined to shorten the distance between Jensen's head and hers. She found just the right ones and slid them on, then stood before the mirror. No wonder the sales girl had said this dress was like Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, she thought. The front was prim and proper, but the back was pure sin. She added a dash of musky perfume at

"You said you didn't want to get into this because you didn't think we had given it enough thought. But you never said you don’t want to... You do" he said. "I know you, Kat. I've been been watching you since you got back. Waiting for the right moment to catch your attention; wanting to know what’s on that tablet of yours. I’ve been completely hypnotised by you... I always have been. And I know what I want.. I have given it enough thought. Infact I've thought so much about you I'm beginning to think I might go crazy with being unable to think of anything else.... But let's forget about feelings for now, I want you, Kat.. Tonight... In my bed"Katherine knew that if she had huge doubts about what he was asking from her and if she didn't want to get too involved, now was the time to walk away. She had responsibilities and she wasn't sure her heart could take another heartbreak, but she couldn’t just walk away from him. Her heart rate was picking up again, though from

“Don’t laugh.” she said, when she saw the look on his face. He covered his mouth. “I’m not laughing. I’m just a little... shocked.” he said. “I couldn’t resist.” She grabbed a towel and scrubbed her mouth with it until her lips were red. He gripped her wrist. “Stop.” “I’m so embarrassed.” She tucked a stand of loose hair behind her ear. “I couldn’t stop eating them. I guess I'm a bit nervous” “It okay. You don't have to feel nervous. There's no reason to be. You have some…” Reaching out, he wiped sugar from the side of her mouth. She touched where his finger had been. “I must look a mess.” she said. “Not even a little bit.” Her eyes softened, propelling him forward unti

Katherine's straight face gave way to a smile.“Sorry, bad joke. Yes, of course I remember.”She traced his jaw with her fingers and then leaned forward and placed a kiss on his lips. “Last night was fun.” she said.“Mmm hmm. You have any big shopping plans, chores or anything urgent to do today?”Jensen asked.“Actually, no plans at all other than hanging out with you.” Katherine replied. "Tim is going to be at Claire's house throughout today"This was his chance. Jensen thought. They had of course been sleeping together that week. But for some reason, he felt her hesitate anytime he spoke about feelings or any kind of comment. He wanted to bring it up again but there was a risk of overplaying his hand. She wore a blissed out expression, though, that told him now was the time, while the memories of their night together were still hot and vivid.He slid his hand across her belly, a f

When Katherine looked sharply at him, his dark brows lifted innocently, knowing Katherine was uneasy about his presence. He patted a space on the couch beside him. "Come on, Kathy, sit down. Jensen said he can handle setting the table"Katherine sat beside her father and studied the depths of her wine glass, feeling like a brood mare. Of course she had feelings for Jensen... But she didn't want to rush into things so fast and her family's assumption was a bit alarming. Her father studied her. A blush stained her cheeks. Defensively, she met her father's contemplative gaze. He winked."It's good to see you on your toes" Jonah said. "Jensen too. Most women fall all over him. I know. You both are meant for each other... Always have been. Only you could make him walk on eggs.""Don't make too much of our dinner together, Dad" Katherine warned.Her father's mouth tilted upward, reminding Katherine of her brother. She smi
