UNBREAKABLE

Twenty Two.

Hayley came to but didn't dare open her eyes. She wanted to keep sleeping so that she could at least avoid everything. Her melt down yesterday with JR had been inevitable. At one point he had to do something to trigger off her reaction. She still remembered how Vince had walked on eggshells around her for months so that she wouldn't blow up. Problem was JR knew nothing about her past so he was bound to make mistakes. Besides how could she marry him when he didn't even know who she really was? If he didn't even know how damaged she really was. She breathed in and in the process of breathing out realized there was a flowery scent in the air.

Poor Shree. She thought. If her friend had ordered flowers this early then she was in trouble. It was only Tuesday. By Saturday they would all be wilted. She laughed then jumped when a voice asked "Care to share the joke?"

"Jesus! What is wrong with you?" Hayley asked putting her right hand on her heart in the attempt to calm herself down.

"Nothing. I was waiting for you to wake up" JR said looking over at her. Maybe it was creepy that he had spent the last two hours in her room staring at her while she slept but in his defense he was waiting for her to wake up.

"Couldn't you do that somewhere else?"

"I did. At the dining room and when you didn't show up I came here" he shrugged

She was still lying in bed with her covers almost on her chin now. "Why?"

" Why what?"

"Why were you waiting for me to wake up JR?"

"Oh that. To say I'm sorry. Clearly yesterday I'd crossed an invisible line and I really am sorry for making you upset"

"Apology accepted. Now leave it's too early for you to start pestering me" she told him but he wasn't listening. He was wondering what she had on underneath those covers. Although he had been tempted to check when she was asleep, he didn't. That would have been creepy even for him. Although it had taken everything in him not to peel back those covers.

"I'm not doing anything. Today you tell me what you want and I'll do it for you. I'm your slave" he said grinning wickedly.

"No thanks. But you know what? I'm sure Giselle would appreciate you being her slave. Why don't you go bother her? Better why don't you go and shove your tongue down her throat?" Hayley snapped. It wasn't that she didn't want him to wait on her. Her resolve was melting and sending him away would give her time to pull herself together.

"I want to shove my tongue in your pussy. Can I do that?" he asked casually while Hayley choked on her breath.

Jesus Fucking Christ. How was she supposed to say no to that when she wanted the same thing. Throwing off her covers she swung her legs off the bed forgetting the flimsy nightdress she was wearing. "What the hell" she asked after realizing her room was filled with all types of flowers. "JR did you do all this?" when she got not reply she turned her head in his direction and stopped short. His eyes were blazing, pupils dilated and roaming all over her body. "No. No. No. Stop looking at me like that. I asked you a question" she put her arms out as barriers to keep him from pouncing on her. Not that the gesture would have stopped him.

"Yes" was all he said still trying to imprint this image of her to his memory.

Hayley swallowed her voice coming out raspy "Why?"

"Because I wanted to." he said getting up and walking towards her. "Because I was sorry" he stopped in front of her. "Because I love you"

Hayley swallowed again feeling her throat go dry. His eyes were so intense lighting her body on fire. He hadn't touched her ever since she caught him with Giselle in his office. The hot kisses he gave her didn't count. At least not to her. The look he was giving her right then was unraveling her sending heat straight to her core. She took a step back in the hopes of putting distance between them but cursed herself when the back of her knees hit the bed. He smirked devilishly knowing he'd cornered her. "James" she tried to protest but it came out like a moan. Damn you traitorous body. How was she supposed to fend him off if her body came alive with just one look from him. JR took that as his cue and without giving her a chance to complain ripped off the lace material. At the back of her mind it occurred to her that this should serve to teach her a lesson. Maybe next time she would actually stick to her pajamas. They were a much better choice and wouldn't rip so easily. Or so she hoped.
