Kate POV 😍
The question hung in the air between us. I took a deep gulp of air. Then another. How could I tell him that I was scared of how deep my feelings for him ran? I didn't regret sleeping with him. But doing it again would be a big mistake as I was so close to falling for him. I couldn't risk it, knowing that I would be the one getting hurt in the end.
"I...I just don't want to get involved with you." I said finally. "I don't do casual sex. That night with you was a first for me."
He shook his head, his intense blue eyes never leaving mine. "Nothing about that night was casual, Kate."
My heart lurched at his words. His voice was husky and there was sincerity in his eyes but I couldn't believe him. "It was just a one night stand." I deliberately made my tone careless and indifferent.
"No, it wasn't."
He said it so matter of factly and sudden anger flared inside of me. If he thought I would change my mind and jump back into his bed then he was wrong. "I'm not interested in a fling." I said heatedly, my eyes flashing.
"And I'm not asking for one."
I stared at him, my anger fading away to be replaced by confusion. "Then what do you want from me?"
He moved his hand and cupped my face gently. My traitorous body responded to his touch immediately.
"I want to be with you, Kate. You make me feel things I've never felt with anyone before." He murmured, tracing my cheekbone with his thumb. "I really like you and I want to spend more time with you."
My mouth dropped open, surprise evident on my face. "Are you saying you want to date me?"
"I don't just want to date. I want more. I want a relationship with you."
His words knocked the wind out of me and I stared at him. "You don't do relationships."
"I've never felt the need to be in one. Until you. And I'm not saying this just because you said you don't do casual sex. It's not a ploy to get you into bed. I really care about you."
I dragged in a deep breath, trying to make sense of what was happening. I had never in my wildest dreams thought that I would be having this conversation with Jason. This couldn't be real, I thought dazedly. The thought that he liked me made my head spin.
Part of me desperately wanted to believe him, the part that wanted him like crazy. But the other rational side in me knew that I couldn't trust him. He had fooled me once. Did I really want to risk being made a fool out of myself again?
Sure, he wanted a relationship now, but for how long? Getting involved with him meant laying myself open for the hurt he would cause when he finally had enough of me and moved on.
And then there was the fact that he was sort of involved with Delia. Did he think I didn't know that? How could he stand there and tell me that he liked me and wanted to be with me when he had her waiting for him.
Taking a shaky breath I crossed my arms across my chest. There was a sudden ache in my heart which I couldn't explain and I ignored it. "Look, I don't know what kind of game you're playing with me but you have to stop this right now."
