"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 hypnotized by you... I always have been. And I know what I want.. I have given it enough thought. In Fact 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 desire or panic she couldn’t tell. She couldn’t just walk away from him because —
Ooh.
His hand lifted to her face and his thumb began to explore her jaw, and dipped into her collarbone in a way that made her melt.
When she looked up and met his eyes, the danger there was obvious. But he spelled it out for her, anyway.
"I want to make you shiver like that again," he said slowly. "I could try here, but..." He stroked that magic spot again and she bit the inside of her cheek to stop herself groaning out loud.
"You see the problem?" he asked, grinning down at her.
She nodded, but... "I know," she said. "But—"
The rest of her sentence didn't make it out of her mouth because his lips came crashing down on hers.
He stepped closer, pulling her body even closer to him. The hand that was around her waist lifted, its fingers raking through her hair, dragging her head back so that it was tilted up to his. The raw desire flaring from his eyes made her stomach quiver in anticipation.
When he released her lips, she held onto him, her head buried on his neck, his chin on her head.
"Did everyone just walk away from the floor back to their seats?" Katherine asked after a while, chuckling. The music had ended and they had been so wrapped up in their kiss that they had failed to return to their seats with others.
Jensen lifted his head briefly to look around. "Yeah, that's right," he said, chuckling too. "Let's get out of here, Kat," he added softly.
He pulled her back and his arm dropped from her waist abruptly, but before she could mourn its loss her hand was engulfed by his and she was striding with him across the ballroom.
When they reached the lobby, he whirled around, his lips stopping just inches from hers. Was he doing it on purpose? Tempting her until she lost her mind?
"You want this too right," he said. It wasn't a question but a statement, his voice soft and enticing. The lilt of his voice was just charming enough to compensate for his lack of modesty.
Katherine couldn't do anything but nod and his mouth crashed down onto hers again in a passionate plundering that incited an equally passionate response, years of wanting pouring into her need to taste this man, have him tasting her, wanting more of her. She wound her arms around his neck, stretched up on tiptoe, pressed closer, trying to lock in every possible physical contact with him, reveling in the exciting heat of his big strong body, the tension in his muscles.
He kissed her as greedily and urgently as she kissed him. When he sucked in air, she did, too, her pulse racing, her breasts heaving to the same rise and fall of his chest. Though even the slightest pause in this hectic intimacy hit a panic button. She didn’t want him to stop, to pull away from her, have second thoughts about what he was doing. She kept a tight hold on him, her fingers thrusting through his hair, curling around his head, rabidly encouraging continuance.
He kissed her some more, with a deepening eroticism that stirred her desire for him into a chaotic frenzy, every nerve in her body sizzling for the fulfillment of all he promised. His hands roved over her back, following its curves, curling over the taut mounds of her bottom, squeezing, lifting, fitting her more closely to him. No doubt about how strongly he was aroused. She felt his erection against her stomach and exulted in the blatant physical power of his desire for her.
Then he tore his mouth from hers and buried his face in her hair, rubbing his cheeks over it, breathing in the scent on it, tasting it with hot sensual kisses. And she pressed her own face into the warm hollow of his neck, savoring the smell of him, her sensitized lips picking up the rapid throb of his pulse beat there, enclosing it, sucking on it, excited by his excitement and wildly wanting to drive it higher and higher.
"Kat"
The hoarse whisper carried the sound of raging need, making her heart leap with fierce exhilaration. His throat moved in a convulsive swallow and she looked up at him.
"Hmmmm" she replied.
"Let's get to the car"
--------------------------------------------
Opening the passenger side door for her, Jensen helped her in, bending low to ask
“Where are we going? Your place or mine?” he asked.
"Does it matter?" she asked and he grinned. She was right. It didn't matter but he didn’t know why he got such a kick out of teasing her, especially because, honestly, if she walked away from him now, he’d have to douse himself in liquid hydrogen to cool off.
“Let's go to my place. It’s closer. I have always wanted our first time to be there... Plus I have an enormous bed and an incredible bathroom.” He said and winked at her while Katherine smiled slowly.
“I’m catching the vision.” she said. “Is it big enough to fit three people?” she teased back.
“Sorry, Ms. Kavell, not into anything kinky.” Jensen said. When her eyes widened, he took pity and grinned. “I’m sure we can make full use of it, just the two of us.”
“Good.” She said and ran the tip of one finger across his bottom lip. “Now get in and drive.” she said.
