Always Been You

She should be having regrets, or at least second thoughts. But as they drove into the night-Jensen’s foot riding a little heavier on the gas pedal than required-she could only anticipate. He made her feel absolutely dizzy with desire.

He wanted her. Just wanted her. Those dark eyes hadn’t been appraising her worth; he hadn’t been using any tried and true lines of seduction that had worked on the many women in his past.

Her reservations had begun to dissipate when he’d thrown that line about making her shiver. Unable to wait, she reached over and dropped her hand onto his leg.

“Uh-uh,” he growled.

She ignored him, sliding her hand higher. But before she could capture the bulging prize she desperately wanted to trace with her fingertips, he dropped his hand over hers and squeezed.

“No baby,” he said.

“You don’t want me to touch you?” she whispered, knowing the words were untrue. Despite the shadowy interior of the car, she could see just how much he wanted her to touch. And judging by the way he had felt when pressed against her, he had a lot to be touched. She shivered in her seat.

“Hell, yes, I want you to touch me.” he said. She twisted more, her other hand reaching for his hip. He couldn’t stop her…couldn’t drive no handed.

“I’ve wanted you to touch for God knows how long. But not at the risk of both of us getting killed. I didn’t wait this long for this night to be ruined” He glanced over, serious, almost pleading with her to back off. “Please, babe, we’ll be there soon, I promise. I’ve seen a lot of street wrecks to even consider doing something so unsafe, despite how much I’m dying to feel your hands on me.”

Babe. She liked when he called her that. Especially when he admitted his blatant need in that thick, hungry tone.

“I want to spend the night inside your tight little body, not a hospital emergency room.” he said hoarsely.

“Wow,” she muttered, collapsing into her seat. Blunt he may be, but the man definitely knew how to use words to their best effect.

“You okay?” Jensen asked.

Voiceless, she merely nodded. One of her hands remained on his leg, covered by his. Jensen slowly lifted it to his lips. Pressing a soft kiss on her fingers, he said, “I’ll make it up to you. I plan to make you feel incredible all night long.”

All night long. Oh, goodness. His tone had been sultry and full of promise. Her whole body was already on edge, thrumming and alive from that crazy hot encounter outside the restaurant. Now, with his sweet whisper washing over her, she went almost gooey with want.

But not so gooey that she didn’t realize she had one remaining coherent brain cell, which hissed a final word of caution in her ear. Unsafe, he’d said. He wouldn’t do something unsafe.

God, she hadn’t even thought about the safe sex aspect of this crazy, impulsive decision. She, who thought her way around every problem at least a dozen times before committing to a response,

“We have to use protection.” she said.

His eyes widened and he glanced over at her, his handsome face-hard planed, masculine, magnificent-spotlighted by the headlights of cars in the distance.

“I mean, it’s not that I don’t. trust you. But in this day and age…I… I don’t even know what I’m trying to say”

Jensen chuckled. “Relax, I’m not offended.” he said.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Thank goodness. Katherine thought as she smiled back at him. Glad she hadn’t ruined the moment.

He returned his focus to the road. “Just so we’re clear, I’m also not hiding any unpleasant conditions. I am entirely healthy.” He said.

She didn’t really know what to say, so she simply replied, “Great.” Then, since fair was fair, she added, “For the record, I’m absolutely fine, too.”

He grinned and winked, breaking the awkward moment.

“Yes, indeed, you are, Kitty Kat. Absolutely fine.”

Then there was nothing left. No barriers. No excuses. No doubts. They’d reached his house and he was pulling into his garage. Their next stop would be his bedroom.

After that, a night in the arms of the kind of lover women competed for. Dreamed about.

And for this one night, he was entirely hers.

“Wine?” Jensen asked Katherine when they got to his place.

“Yeah sure. I can get it” Katherine said as Jensen touched a button and seductive music filled the room.

“Hmmm nice” Katherine said as she grinned at him. “Prepared, are we?”

He nodded and followed her into the kitchen, unable to let her out of his sight. He was dying to touch her.

When she began to pour them both glasses of the wine she had chosen, his phone rang and he excused himself to go answer as it was a work call. He took his glass with him.

When he finished the contents of his glass in one gulp and walked back into the kitchen. Katherine wasn’t there. He found her in the balcony at the back, her head down. Was she alright?

“Kat?” he called.

The fact that she didn’t respond was odd. Was she angry about something? He knew Katherine well. If he’d pissed her off, she’d lash out. If he’d hurt her, she’d cry. But her lack of response was not like her. He stepped closer, caught a glimpse of the open box in front of her.

“Kat?”

Finally, he reached her and turned her around to face him. She was standing before him covered in confectioner’s sugar. Her cheeks were stuffed with beignets and the box was…empty?

“You ate all of the beignets? I bought like half a dozen.”

A burst of powdered sugar flew into his face when she opened her mouth to speak.

“I’m sorry,” she mumbled almost incoherently.

He picked up a napkin and wiped his face. “I can’t believe it.” Her lips and chin were white with powder. He poked one of her cheeks, and another puff of sugar flew out. “I was worried when I called and you didn’t answer. I thought something was wrong” he said.

“I’m sorry,” she said.

“It’s fine. Are you alright?” he asked.

She nodded, chewing rapidly. He poured her another glass of wine and pushed it toward her. Once she’d successfully swallowed the beignets, she gulped down the entire glassful.
