Always Been You

23



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.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

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.

She stared at Jensen.

“We should go outside,” she said.

“Ermm.. I don’t think I can” he replied.

“Why not?”

He didn’t reply. He just looked down at the front of his trousers where his erection was still clearly visible.

Katherine’s eyes widened and he smiled.

“You idiot,” she said. “There is nothing to smile about. My parents can come in any second…. with my son. You better go to the bathroom now”

“Fine… Just relax a little, please” he said as he left.

Katherine began to walk towards the door but before she could go out the door opened and Jonathan walked in.

“Jeez… What the hell have you guys been doing since you got here?”. He asked. “There are still so many boxes in the truck”.

“Ermmm… Jensen and I were just looking around the house” Katherine said.

Jonathan frowned. “You have already seen the house,” he replied. “Let’s get to work”

Her parents came in next followed by Tim.

“Alright… Let’s get these boxes inside” Jonah said.

“You and Jensen haven’t even started,” Delia added.

“Yeah mom.” Tim said. “I was actually hoping you would have started with the boxes. So all I would have to do is empty the boxes and arrange stuff”

“You are always looking for ways to get out of work Tim, but not today”. Katherine said.

Just then Jensen emerged from the bathroom, nothing about him suggested that if her family hadn’t come when they did. They would both be…. Both be what? Katherine asked herself.

She didn’t like the answer to that question, but she knew that they might not have been able to stop themselves if they hadn’t been interrupted. Maybe making love right there in her living room!

The thought made her shiver. Jeez… She had to get a grip. Getting involved with Jensen was a terrible idea and she didn’t need anyone to tell her that. It hadn’t worked out so well in the past and it definitely wasn’t going to be different now.

She would only get hurt and it would be terribly stupid if she got hurt by the same guy again.

Her heart leaped inside, veins thrumming, twitching with lust, stunned, as she thought about those blissful minutes in his arms.

That was his kiss! She had kissed him before. But she had tried her best to forget everything about him as much as she could. But right now she couldn’t explain her attraction to him. It was like a gate had been opened inside her, and everything she had once felt for him was rushing back.

If that was his kiss, what the hell would it be like to make love with him? she still couldn’t help thinking. What would it feel like to be made love too by Jensen Packard?

“Hi, Jensen”. Tim said cheerfully.

“Hey, little man”. Jensen replied, patting him on his head.

“Thanks for helping us move in”

“It’s alright, how’s everything going?”

“Good. I joined the baseball team at school” Tim said. Obviously proud of himself.

“Oh that’s nice, I could coach you sometime then if you want. I do it for my nephew sometimes. He plays too so you can join us… We could play catch”

“That would be cool. Thanks Jensen” Tim said.

“You are welcome, buddy”. Jensen said and he and Tim went outside to grab more boxes.

Katherine sighed deeply.

“Are you alright?” Jonathan asked, watching her. “You look.. I dunno… Worried? Anything on your mind?”

“I’m fine” Katherine said and walked to the kitchen, aware of Jonathan’s eyes on her. Tim and Jensen were becoming good buddies. She didn’t need that. Tim was her son, and with this intense attraction she felt for Jensen, it would be harder to resist him if he and Tim started playing baseball and catch together.

Focus. She told herself. All she had to do was focus on getting all those boxes in and placing the house in order. She could worry about Tim and Jensen later.

They worked together for hours. She avoided Jensen throughout. She caught him many times staring at her, but that was only because she was stealing glances at him too.

They took a break, then ate the lunch her mother had packed, then they resumed work. Before evening all the boxes were inside but some of them were still unpacked. She could finish those later.

Soon her parents left, followed by Jonathan.

“Thanks for the help man” Jonathan said, patting Jensen on the back.

“No big deal,” Jensen replied. “See you later”

Katherine expected Jensen to leave soon too, but he stayed and helped some more. He and Tim were talking and laughing like they had known each other for years. Like father and son…

Katherine shook her head, willing the thought away. Father and son-where the hell did that come from. She didn’t know if she was happy or angry about the whole bonding thing.

Soon Tim got really tired and she told him to go rest in bed. That left her and Jensen in the kitchen.

Jensen watched Katherine, she had barely spoken to him all day since her parents interrupted them in the morning. And he didn’t blame her. He knew it was a bad idea hanging back after what had happened between them that morning. He remembered how hurt he had been after she left, leaving him terribly hurt. It had been really hard for him to move on after that.
