Kate POV 💋
I peeled the covers off my body and checked the time from the digital clock on the nightstand. The green neon light showed me it was 3 in the morning. Jason and I had come back from the dinner party around a little after midnight. He asked me to join him for a drink but I declined saying I was too tired.
Truth was I didn't want to be alone with him. Seeing him with Delia had aroused unwanted feelings in me and after what happened in my room earlier that night, I was afraid. I was afraid that I would throw myself at him the minute we were alone. I felt ashamed of my feelings and I didn't know how to stop them.
After a restless night, I woke up around eleven in the morning. I was planning to wake up early and work a bit but the events of the previous day had worn me out and I slept through my alarm. After getting dressed in a pair of black distressed skinny jeans and a white slogan tee, I grabbed the velvet jewelry case on the nightstand. It was the necklace and earrings Jason had given me the previous night. I had forgotten to return it last night.
As I rushed downstairs, I almost bumped into Molly, who was carrying a basket of white linens up the stairs.
"Good morning, Miss. I hope you slept well?"
"Yes, I did. Thank you." I smiled. "Is Jason up yet?"
"I don't think Mr. Perez has slept at all. He is in the library working."
"Oh." He really was a workaholic.
"I'll inform the chef that you're up. Is there anything specific you would like for breakfast, Miss?"
"Toast and coffee would be good. Thank you." I didn't want anyone going to any trouble for me.
I found Jason sitting behind the huge mahogany desk in the library. Dressed in a pair of grey sweatpants and a light blue V-neck t-shirt, he had his feet up on the desk as he tapped away on his laptop. His hair looked as if he had run his hands through it several times and he looked exhausted.
"Did anyone ever tell you you're a workaholic?" I asked walking into the room.
He looked up startled and a slow grin spread on his gorgeous face. "My mom calls me twice a day just to tell me that." He swung his feet down and put the laptop on the desk.
"Well she is not wrong. How about breakfast? You must be starving."
"I am." His drawled lazily, his gaze lingering on my lips before raising them to meet mine. "Are you on the menu?" He smirked.
I felt my cheeks grow warm. "Very funny." I rolled my eyes at him even though my heart raced up at his words.
He chuckled and stretched his neck from side to side. I tried not to stare as he flexed his shoulders.
I held out the jewelry case. "Here. I forgot to return this last night."
He made no move to take it from me. "It's yours."
"What?"
"I got it for you."
"You got me a ruby and diamond necklace and earrings."
He smirked seeing the look on my face. "You don't seem happy about it."
I felt like smacking his head with the case. "I can't accept this."
