I pull his mouth back to mine, and feeling the need intensify. His lips, fingers and body are pressed against mine in a deadly combination. "Jamie..." I reach down to lift his shirt but to my surprise, he stops me. He pulls away and I'm left trying to clear my thoughts. "Jamie?"
He shuts his eyes and lets out a frustrated breath. "I crossed the line with you." He steps back and lowers me to the ground, putting as much distance between us as possible. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have I..."
"Please." I hear the pleading in my voice for his touch, but I get shut down.
"I chose to kiss you."
"But I didn't stop you." He said in a stone-cold tone. "This can't happen."
"I know you feel this too."
"Doesn't matter how I feel or what I want. Your married and also my client to protect."
"My marriage is bullshit. You know that as well as I do."
"Regardless. If we were to ever slip up, it could put you in danger. I can't do this again."
"I trust you. I know you won't ever let anything happen to me."
He sighs and runs a hand through his hair. "I need some air."
I watch as he turns and walks out the front door, slamming it shut behind him. I should feel guilty, but I don't. After so many years of pure hell, I refuse to feel bad. I deserve better and right now, Warren's it. I just wish he would see it that way too.
I decided to try and clear my head by watching some TV. As I'm going through channels, I see a bold headline that made my heart drop. Underneath the picture of me plasters, "MISSING PERSON"
Missing person?!
