UNBREAKABLE

Thirty two.

jan01032108 there you go thee great Vince supporter. For the rest of you it's a double update. Enjoy 😉

--------------------

Hayley rushed to the oven and took out the cookies before they burnt again. Already she'd turned two batches into black coal. She couldn't stop comparing Vincent's kiss to JR's. Where Vince was sweet JR was hot and demanding. Vince had held her like she was fragile, like she would break if he happened to apply even a small amount of pressure. On the other hand JR had slammed her against walls and doors then kissed her. senseless. Every time she saw him with that predatory look he always had in his eyes, butterflies had erupted in her stomach. With Vince it was plain. She didn't want plain. She wanted passion, desire, that drove her to forget everything else existed the moment their lips touched. She couldn't go on like that. It was madness. Especially since she'd burnt cookies.

Alexis had called earlier to say she would be back soon and Hayley wanted to make something for her. She'd missed her even if she had only been gone for two days. But her head wouldn't stop torturing her. How was she going to move on with her life if she kept comparing everything Vince did to JR? Vince was a good man. He deserved better, someone who loved him completely for who he was. "Mom" Alexis voice pulled her from her thoughts.

"Kitchen" she answered. She hadn't even heard the lift opening. She had to pull herself together or...... She stopped. Behind Alexis, stood JR. Devastatingly handsome with his hands in his pockets. Her heart leapt to her throat.

"I'm going to unpack my staff. I'll be back JR. Don't leave yet"

"Okay Alexis. I'll wait for you" he said without taking his eyes off Hayley. There they are. She thought. Those blazing eyes of his that made her stomach churn in anticipation. She had to lean against the aisle to avoid crumbling to the floor. Why was he so handsome? She felt that if he wasn't so hot and sexy and gorgeous and ugh stop it. She chastised herself. It felt like forever before he moved towards her. "Hi"

"Hi" Hayley squeaked. Was it possible that he was more handsome than when she last saw him?

"You look well. Beautiful as always" he said stopping in front of her. Hayley had never been more grateful for the island standing between them. If he got any closer she wasn't sure she could think properly.

"Mmmh" she replied.

"Zach was busy so I volunteered to bring Alexis back. I hope you don't mind" she shook her head. God where had her words disappeared to? "Can I have one?" he asked pointing to the cookies that were still cooling off. Picking one he dropped it immediately having been burnt. Hayley moved without thinking. She took his hand trying to assess the damage, but instead JR leaned in and brushed his fingers along her chin. "You have no idea how much I've missed you." she realized too late that he'd faked being hurt so he could have an excuse to touch her. Even so it took everything in her not to lean in to his touch. It was on the tip of her tongue to say she'd missed him too. His thumb brushed her lower lip creating sensations she wanted to drown in. Closing her eyes she savored his touch wishing he'd lean in closer and kiss her. She wanted those butterflies back in her stomach. She felt him lean in until he was inches away from her. His breath fanned her cheeks and Hayley breathed in his scent mixed with his cologne. At that moment a door opened and Alexis voice broke them apart shattering the spell.

"Okay mom. Share the cookies" she walked in then sat on one of the chairs by the kitchen aisle. Hayley cleared her throat and turned around to search for plates. She also needed a few minutes to compose herself. She should not have lost her control like that. Dammit. One touch was all it took for her to forget about everything. This was why she'd kept her distance. With him around she couldn't think straight.
