Thanks for the great reviews..please keep reading and reviewing.

Jeff smiled and leaned forward his lips brushing hers lightly. Jeff was unprepared for the jolt it sent through him.

He was going to pull back, but Kimi leaned forward and touched her lips to his once again, Jeff pressed his lips to her a little firmer this time letting the kiss linger a bit.

Jeff pulled back and looked at her and was thrilled to find her smiling. "That was nice Sakima."

She scooted closer to him and Jeff wrapped his arm back around her shoulder. "Just nice?"

Kimi started laughing. "Nice is good, okay?"

Jeff nodded and settled down beside her to watch the movie, but his mind was on the kiss, it had jolted him down to his bones, and he wanted more, but he was going to take it slow, the last thing he wanted to do was push her.

He realized how nice it was just to sit here with her next to him, she had her head on his shoulder, and it felt so right.

They sat together until the movie was over and Jeff took his hand and rubbed her back. "So you up for another movie?"

She lifted her head from his shoulder. "Yea sure, you pick this time."

Jeff slid out from beside her and went through the DVD's. "Ocean's thirteen?" He said holding it up.

Kimi nodded and got up. "I gotta have popcorn."

Jeff told her where it was at and she went upstairs to make it. Jeff put in the DVD, this was going much better than he expected, Kimi was relaxed and they had already got the first kiss out of the way, maybe he would get a second before the night was done.

Kimi came down the stairs with a bowl of popcorn and two sodas. "I wasn't in the mood for more beer, is soda okay?"

Jeff watched her walk, and the way the white dress swished around her calves , it brought his attention to her beautiful legs. Her long hair swayed around her. He watched as she sat down on the sofa and tucked her bare feet beneath her. "Yea, thats great."

He sat down beside her and she put the bowl in his lap grinning. "You hold the popcorn." She said and laid her head back on his shoulder. Jeff was lost, this woman was so beautiful, graceful and sweet. He was aware of her hair brushing his shoulder, he just prayed he didn't get a boner, he would die of embarrassment if he did.

Jeff asked her about her home, and Kimi spent a while telling her about the Rosebud reservation in South Dakota that she grew up on. He could hear the love in her voice when she spoke of her home and family.

Kimi asked about his childhood he told her about growing up in a small town and how his mother had died when he was young. "I'm sorry, that must have been rough on your whole family."

Jeff nodded as he fed her popcorn. "Yea, but dad was great, he made sure we were good ya know."

Kimi nodded. "He must be great if he raised you, you have such a sense of yourself and who you are it speaks volumes."

Jeff smiled. "My dad is the greatest, your parents sound great too."

Kimi grinned. "Yea they are."

They got done with the popcorn and Jeff set the empty bowl on the table and pulled her closer to him. Kimi didn't resist, she was comfortable with him, and growing more comfortable by the minute.

Kimi looked up a few minutes later to find Jeff asleep, she smiled and got up and went to get her sketch pad. When she got back, she nudged him till he was lying down stretched out on the couch, he looked like a handsome king, she was right in her assessment of him, Jeff was different, very different from anyone she had ever met.

Kimi sat crossed legged on the floor and began to sketch him, he looked even more beautiful sleeping.

She didn't question her feelings for him, he was fascinating to her, she had enjoyed the kisses. She knew very well her body had physical needs, she still loved Sin, but Sin wasn't here. She wasn't ready to let Sin go, maybe she would never really let go of him completely,but that didn't mean she couldn't be friends with Jeff, or maybe more..

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

Jeff woke up and looked around. He sat up on the couch, what a idiot, he had fell asleep on Kimi, God she must think he was such a loser. He saw her sketch pad laying open on the table and sat up grabbing it off the table. He smiled, she had done a sketch of him, while he was sleeping. He looked around and didn't see her, she must have went back to the camper last night.

Kimi was in Jeff's kitchen, she had crashed on the other end of the big couch last night, she was cooking breakfast. She picked up the cell off the table and rang a number. "Hello"

"Hey is Mark around.?" She giggled as she heard the woman call Mark, he must be having a grand old time.

"Hello." Answered a groggy voice.

"Hey Mark..I'm sorry didn't mean to wake you."

Mark sat up in the bed and shooed the woman away who was trying to climb back on him. "Kimi girl, how are ya sweetheart, everything going okay."

"Sure..I just wanted to ask you something?"

""Okay, go ahead." Mark said relieved when the woman went in the bathroom and shut the door.

Kimi pulled the bacon off the burner and began laying it on a paper towel. "What do you think of Jeff..I mean you think he's a nice guy and all, right?"

Mark frowned. "Has he done something to ya, cause I can fly out there and kill him, no problem."

"No no..nothing like that...He apologized very nicely..its just well, we been hanging out and he seems really nice." Kimi said.

Mark shook his head. "Okay what are you trying to tell me, you two..um..well ya know?"

Kimi laughed. "I haven't slept with him, if thats what you mean..but he kissed me."

Mark growled a bit. "Did you want him too?"

"Yes, and it was very nice."

Mark sighed. "I guess you want my approval or something."

Kimi laughed. "It would be nice, but you know I don't need anyone's approval, I would like to know what you think of Jeff since I value your opinion."

Mark pushed the hair back out of his face. "Okay, he's a good guy, a little weird at times, but nothing to far out there, he's not a whore, he's selective about the women he sleeps with, he was in along time relationship and he didn't cheat on her, he's a upstanding guy."

Kimi grinned. "Thanks Mark."

Mark grunted. "You be careful Kimi, you really think you're ready to jump into a relationship?"

"Maybe not a relationship, but a friendship, yea."

Mark sighed. "Okay, just be careful, I would hate to have to whup the boys ass."

"Okay Mark..thanks..for well, just talking to me."

Mark smiled. "I'm always here Kimi."

Kimi smiled. "I know love you."

"Love ya too, I'll call you in a couple of days." Mark said.

Kimi hung up the phone and pulled the biscuits out of the oven and set them on the counter.

Kimi jumped when she felt arms circle her waist. Jeff smiled and drew her back against his chest. "Morning." He said leaning over her to kiss her cheek.

Kimi relaxed and smiled. "Morning Sakima."

Jeff reluctantly released her. "Breakfast smells great."

"Sit down and eat, I have to get to work." Kimi said fixing him a plate and handing it to him.

Jeff sat down right next to her chair, and when Kimi sat down, he leaned over kissing her lips rather quickly and pulling back. "Thanks for breakfast."

"You're welcome."

"I seen your sketch, you are really good, but the I knew that already when I seen you other sketches."

Kimi smiled. "Well I was working with a handsome subject, so it was bound to be good."

Jeff grinned. "So you think, maybe we can spend some time together after you're done tonight?"

Kimi stopped eating and looked at Jeff. "Sakima, I don't know if we should rush into anything..." She trailed off not knowing quite what to say.

Jeff laid down his fork and turned to look at her. "Kimi, I like you, a lot, but we don't have to rush into anything, really, but I like spending time with you."

Kimi looked into his green eyes. "Jeff I know you wouldn't, its me, I'm attracted to you, I want you, but I have a lot of unresolved feelings for my husband, I don't know if I can do this with you, and still try to deal with my feelings for him."

Jeff put his hand to her cheek and cupped it gently. "Kimi, I'll be whatever you need me to be, if thats just someone to be with, while you grieve for your husband thats fine, I'll take whatever you have to give."

Kimi knew he was sincere. She leaned forward and kissed his lips slowly letting her tongue nudge at his lip piercing, Jeff opened his mouth and touched his tongue to hers, he heard her moan and lean into the kiss even more, he slowly deepened the kiss till his tongue was pushing into her sweet mouth, his hands coming to cup her face and hold her close, the kiss seemed to go on forever.

Kimi pulled back looking in his eyes. "I would love to spend more time with you, but no promises Sakima, it is what it is."

Jeff nodded. He would take whatever she offered. "I have to get going, the sooner I finish the sooner, you can get going on starting your construction, I have a few more grids to set up, should take me another week."

Suddenly Jeff didn't care about the land or the plans he had made for it, he just wanted Kimi to hang around as long as possible. He frowned, was he falling in love with her, he barely knew her. Hell he hadn't even slept with her.

Kimi got up to clear the table, but Jeff took her hand. "Go ahead, I'll take care of this, you go on to work."

Kimi smiled and kissed his cheek. "I'll see you this evening."

Jeff nodded and watched her walk out the back door.

He had a feeling he was in way over his head.

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

Kimi worked all day, she was in a way eager to be done here, she liked Jeff, maybe too much, she had a lot of unfinished business to take care of, she hadn't been back to her and Sin's home since he had died, his stuff was still sitting in the house, like she was waiting for him to come back and take up where they had left off.

She knew she needed to get rid of the stuff, it was going to be hard, but she had put it off long enough. She wanted to visit her parents and Sin's. She had a long way to go before she could even think about another relationship.

So why was she going back to Jeff's tonight, she knew why, she wanted him, she also liked him, maybe the need was purely physical, but there it was. She missed the way a man felt on top of her, kissing her, lying in a mans arms at night, she missed it. Jeff was a handsome desirable man, and to top it off he was smart and interesting, she couldn't have picked a better bed partner.

Kimi got up and went to the camper to shower. This Jeff Hardy was making her lose her perspective, but was that a good thing or a bad thing, she wasn't sure.

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

Kimi walked through Jeff's back yard and stopped and smiled, he was in the wrestling ring he had set up, doing flips, and flying off the ropes, he was poetry in motion, and she didn't call his name, because she wanted to watch him, he was sweating and he had on low slung jeans and no shirt, he was all man.

She realized she was becoming aroused just watching him. "Damn girl, you are in serious need of sex." She muttered under her breath.

She just stood watching till he noticed her. He walked the the edge of the ring holding out his hand to her. Kimi gave him her hand and he pulled her up and helped her over the rope. "Wanna wrestle?"

Kimi smiled. "Well Sakima, I could take that all kinda ways, couldn't I?"

Jeff smiled and pulled her to the center of the ring. "How athletic are you, I'll teach you a few moves."

Kimi shrugged. "I was on the track team in high school, I play a mean game of football."

Jeff spent the next hour teaching her how to do a hips toss, which she mastered quickly. Then on to the Irish whip, which she had in no time. Jeff helped her learn to do a drop kick, it took a little longer, but she got the hang of that too.

"You're a natural." Jeff said.

They were both sweating by this time, Jeff helped her out of the ring and they walked together up his deck steps to the back door. Jeff held the door for her, and shut it behind them.

Here." he said and threw a bottle of water. "I'll get us some towels." Jeff said and disappeared out the door.

Kimi opened the water taking a big drink. She realized she liked hanging out with Jeff, it was so different with him. She laughed, what guy could teach you wrestling moves. Jeff appeared a minute later with towels.

He took one and wiped off her face. "Thanks." She said smiling.

"So what about dinner, I'll cook tonight, what do you want?" Jeff asked.

"How about we order Pizza?" Kimi asked.

"Sounds like a plan, what do you like." He ask picking up his cell.

"Anything but anchovies." She said putting the empty water bottle in the trash can.

She watched him as he called the Pizza in, he still hadn't put on a shirt, she kinda hoped he didn't, she liked looking at him. His blond lacks were pulled back in a pony tail and it looked like he had freshened the color up with some red streaks.

Jeff put his cell down and took her hand. "Come on, wanna play monopoly?" He asked.

Kimi grinned. "Sure."

The two spent most of the evening eating Pizza and playing a long game of monopoly. Kimi hadn't laughed so much in a long time, Jeff was silly and fun, trying to sneak money out of her pile and stealing her get out of jail card twice, and getting caught both times.

Finally around Midnight, she had won everything and her and Jeff put everything back in the box.

Jeff put up the game and came back to find Kimi laying back on the couch. He sat on the floor beside the couch and pushed a lock of stray hair behind her ear. "Tired?"

Kimi nodded.

Jeff leaned over pressing a kiss to her lips, he moved back a little. "You could stay here with me." He said praying she would say yes.

Kimi looked up in his green eyes, he was close enough, that his unique scent assailed her. "Well, do you mean in your room with you or in a spare bedroom?"

Jeff flushed. Damn but she got right to the point. "whatever is most comfortable for you."

Kimi smiled and reached up to run her fingers over his unique beard. "I'm sleepy, lets go."

Jeff helped her up and they went upstairs. They stopped long enough for Jeff to make sure the doors were locked and the lights were out.

Jeff led her to his bedroom. Kimi looked around as he turned on the light. He had a huge bed. The colors were mostly black and brown, she grinned , a guy was a guy. He had a huge entertainment canter against one wall facing the bed. The furniture was nice, made from cherry. "Can i borrow a shirt to sleep in, and use your shower?"

Jeff nodded and grabbed a shirt from one of his drawers. "Use this and you can use my shower." He said pointing to a door. "I'll go use one of the guest showers."

Kimi smiled and thanked him and disappeared into the bathroom.

Jeff blew out a long breath and grabbed a pair of boxers to sleep in. He was on edge, he didn't think she would actually share a room with him, and unlike Kimi, he was afraid to just come out ask if she wanted to have sex?

He went off to take a shower, hoping she would make the first move and he wouldn't have to end up embarrassing himself. Jeff walked in the room, his hair down and still damp from his shower, he smiled, she was laying under the covers, looking sleepy, she smiled when she saw him. "Come to bed Sakima."

Jeff swallowed hard and hoped to God, he didn't do anything to fuck this up.
