Always Been You

She cuddled deeper into his embrace. She hadn’t lied about the cuddling part. She had missed him so much. And she was just so glad to be in the arms of the man she loved.

She loved this man. She loved her husband. And she wanted him to come home. She shook her head when she realized that he was talking and she hadn’t been listening.

“We have options,” Jensen said.

She blinked and focused her attention back on the here and now and the fact she was in bed after hot, sweaty sex with the man she loved.

It was all she could do not to groan.

“What options?” she asked huskily.

“I can feed you. I can make mad, passionate love to you again. Or we can take a short nap and then do either option one or two. Or both. See? I’m easy.” he said.

She smiled and squeezed him. She did love him. It scared her to death just how much she loved him, and she was flooded by so much emotion she couldn’t think straight.

“I never really replied at lunch?” she said. “I want you to come home. I don’t care what happened. I realize that I screwed up too. I should have tried to be more understanding. I should have tried to support you in your company projects. But all I did was complain that you weren’t spending time at home. And that was wrong. And so I’m sorry, Jensen. I promise to do better next time. ”

He leaned up and cradled her so he looked down at her. “It’s alright.” he said. “We both have our faults. But the important thing is that we move past them and we grow so we can handle things better next time.”

Katherine smiled and kissed him on the cheek.

“Did you bring clothes to go to work in?” he asked.

She swallowed. “I did bring clothes. I can dress here.” She said, “But you are taking me to work tomorrow as I don’t have my car”

“With pleasure my lady,” he said, smiling.

Unable to resist, she kissed him. It wasn’t a playful little peck this time, but a warm, deep kiss that showed without words the depth of her feelings.

When she finally drew away, his eyes were glazed with passion, but there was also contentment that she didn’t want to speculate about.

“In that case, I vote we go with eat, mad passionate love and then sleep,” she murmured, answering his previous question.

“Sold,” he said.

A half hour later, they sat cross-legged on the bed, devouring the room service Jensen had ordered. She was swallowed up by one of his robes, and he was wearing a pair of boxer shorts.

She ate indelicately, with her fingers, foregoing the utensils. It was finger food anyway, and it was too scrumptious to be all highbrow about eating it.

“Tell me your plans for the rest of the week. Are you still going to go to San Francisco?” Katherine asked.

He cocked his head and studied her intently. “San Francisco can wait,” he said.

“It can?” Katherine asked.

“Yeah.” Jensen replied. “I can call Stephen and he can handle stuff up there. I just got you back. And I know I have been distant lately, so I’m gonna spend some time you and the kids”

Her cheeks warmed. Her mouth suddenly went dry and she gulped a mouthful of water. “I love you so much, Jensen,” she said.

He smiled. A genuine, warm smile that told her he was pleased with her. “I love you too, Kat,” he said.

He reached out to wipe a smudge from the corner of her mouth. She glanced down to see his food gone and most of hers, as well. And the way he was looking at her, she had a good idea what was for dessert.

“Give me two seconds to clear this away and roll the cart out into the hall and we’ll get on with option two, although I’m thinking that option three should be significantly delayed.” he said.

She raised an eyebrow and her heart started tripping double time. “Oh? How delayed?” she asked.

“Very delayed,” he said silkily. “I’m thinking option two could be divided into options three, four, five…..”

In response, she untied her robe and tugged it away until she sat naked on the bed.

Jensen picked her up from work that evening. And after they got Deanie from her mom’s house and returned home, they were surprised to find their house empty.

“Where’s Tim?” Jensen asked.

Katherine slapped her forehead. “Oh my God” she said. “The dance. We totally forgot the dance. Oh, Tim is gonna be mad”

“Relax Kat” Jensen said, as he put Deanie down and she began to run around the house. “I’m sure Tim will understand”

And he sure did when he returned.

Katherine gave him a big hug. “I’m so sorry honey,” she said. “We totally forgot about the dance. How was it?”

“Oh don’t worry mom. I’m fine” he said. He stared at the both of them for a while. “So…. Everything is okay now?” he asked.

Katherine smiled. “Yes, baby. Everything is fine now” she said.

“Great. I can’t tell you how happy I am to hear that” Tim said grinning. Every part of his life was great. As he turned to go to his room, Jensen stopped him.

“So, did you get the girl?” he asked Tim.

Tim grinned. “Hell yeah… I mean.. Heck yeah I did”

Katherine stared at them in surprise. “What girl?” she asked. “There’s a girl now?”

Jensen and Tim grinned at each other.

“Dad, do you think mom is ever going to be okay with the fact that she’s gonna have to share my affections with someone else?” Tim asked.

Jensen shook his head. “You know… I don’t see that happening”

Tim laughed and began to go up the stairs to his room.

“Hey” Katherine called. “I wanna hear all about this girl… And I want to meet her too”

“Sure thing mom” Tim called back.

Jensen smiled and wrapped his hand around her. “Relax Kat,” he said. “Tim is all grown up now. You have me. You will always have me”

Katherine turned and kissed him deeply on his lips. “And you will always have me too, Jensen,” she said.
