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 wanted me out of it, as I remember," he said.
As Jensen smiled against her lips, she went on. "You rattled me, love" she said. "You did not tread lightly"
Jensen's hand cupped the back of her head. "I had to realize that my feelings for you were just as strong as ever. You are an amazing woman" His shoulders lifted and fell in a shrug. "It's as much a part of you as the sweet sounds you make when we make love. This kind of love doesn't happen often between a man and a woman. It's a rare sweet commitment. You are my love, Kat. You are my life from now on"
Emotion flickered deep within Jensen's black gaze as he whispered. "Do you love me, Kitty Kat?"
She feathered his lips with her own. "I love you, Jensen Packard," she said.
He shook his head slowly. "You don't have a chance to leave anymore, Kat. Not now" he said.
"Did I before?" Katherine asked.
"Not really," he replied. I never saw one woman wrapped up in a single beautiful package. A desirable package of curves and beautiful dark hair. No other woman compares to you "
"Oh Jensen" Katherine said
"I want to be in your life. I want to participate in all your relationships. From Tim, to your mom, to Jonathan, to your friends"
"I'm sure that would make Tim very happy too," Katherine said. "He loves and adores you"
"How about you sweetheart?" he asked. "How do you feel about including me in your future?"
"I'm glad for every hour we spend together," she said. "You are a class in self enrichment, Jensen. I was in danger of becoming a small minded snob. Apart from my family, my life before you was empty. You made me realize that I had more life to live, the fulfillment of being a woman in every sense"
Jensen caught her fingertips with his teeth. "I want to hold you in my arms each night" he murmured huskily. "You are a necessity to me now, Kat"
"As you are to me, my darling" she replied with a kiss that mated their lips in an open, moist surrender.
After a long enjoyable moment, Jensen asked. "Will you marry me, Katherine?".
Her palms slid to frame his hard jaw, her gauze wrapped hand a white banner against his dark skin. "Of course," she said, smiling. "Yes I will marry you, Jensen"
"Good" Jensen said. "I have planned a lifetime of backyard barbecues, homemade ice cream and fishing trips. I want to be in your life, not just traveling through it, sweetheart" He paused, then asked "Unless you want to try San Francisco high life?"
"I want you, Jensen," Katherine said. "But everything else I want lies back at home" she said firmly.
"Good, Kat. I'm leaving my past here and I won't reopen any of the chapters"
Gently he eased the green silk dress and slip from her and smoothed her lower back with his palms. "Beautiful Kat. I love you"
"And I you" she whispered solemnly.
Deep emotion filled his face as he tugged her mouth to his. "Thank you for coming back into my life, Kat," he said.
She trembled as his hand slid over her buttocks. His tongue penetrated her ear. As his uneven breath entered the coils, her legs twined around his, and her hips pressed against a very distinct male outline.
"Love me now, Jensen" she whispered huskily.
"Oh, I plan to, Kitty Kat," he assured her. "All my life. In every way"
