I've done hot and sexy teases but I felt like I should share a little sweet and gentle to even things out. And well...Caleb *sigh I can't think of Caleb without thinking about how much he adores Kat. I HAD to share a little of that.
Caleb lay in bed just staring at Kat's
delicate form. He had been having a dream where he was stuck in some
godforsaken country doing a recon. He was stuck between two buildings
when an explosion went off in front of him, and gun fire came from
behind. His unit disappeared, it turned to night and he was kneeling
over Kat. She was bloodied and sobbing. The dream version of Kat had
been in much worse condition than how he had actually found her last
night. He had picked her up and she disappeared. He'd woken reaching
out for her.
He'd been awake ever since. Afraid to
go back to sleep. He had stayed over at Kat's to help her fight her
demons in case she got scared in the night, and he ended up fighting
his own.
He lightly traced his fingers over
Kat's bruised cheek, more green than purple. Her hair looked like a
river of fiery satin in the morning sun streaming in the past the
blinds on her windows. Although she had red hair, her skin was creamy
and devoid of freckles. With or without makeup she was gorgeous.
He
thought about what she had said about herself the night before. He
was surprised to find his feisty little spit fire doubted her self
worth. It seemed her confident shield was just a defense. Hell, her
defenses could rival the Death Star.
She blinked awake while he was lost in
thought, still tracing the bruise on her face. Her amber colored eyes
rested on him in sleepy contemplation. She grabbed his fingers in a
light lazy grip, resting their hands in front of their faces.
“What are you doing?” she asked in
a sleepy voice.
He had been thinking about the many
ways he could disembowel the man that had attacked her last night.
Instead he said, “Has anyone ever told you, you make the weirdest
little chipmunk noises when you sleep?”
She giggled, then groaned. “If I
didn't know better I would say Del put you up to saying that.”
Del, or Delia, was his best friend Jake's wife. And she used to be
roommates with Kat. Obviously Del had complained about the cute
little noises Kat made when sleeping. He was surprised by how much he
liked sleeping with Kat, and even more, liked waking up beside her.
He had never been one to stay the entire night with women but never
bemoaned a woman in his bed, as long as they were happy to part ways
in the morning.
Over the years he'd had 'mutual
understandings' with a few women. They wanted to entertain themselves
with the military man/cowboy, and he was happy to oblige. They had
wanted to commit to a relationship even less than he did. Kat had
been correct about the one-night-stand drill. He would have
appreciated her forethought to make herself scarce before he woke up.
He would have, had it been anyone but her. Now that he knew how warm,
cuddly, and adorable Kat was first thing in the morning he felt extra
cheated she had left the last time they were together.
