Part 12
*Don't say I didn't warn you Don't say you didn't know*
"How do you know I'll regret it?" she asked him, stepping towards where he sat.
Kyp lifted his head, taken completely off guard by her unexpected reply. He managed to find a self-mocking grin. "Call it intuition. You haven't exactly been pleased with my attention."
She took another step, as if unable to help herself. "Again I have to ask how you know?"
His smile faltered as he straightened. She was coming ever closer and his control snapped. He lunged to his feet, crossing the two steps to her and grabbing her. Lifting her easily, he stepped her backwards, flattening her against the wall, his hands rough on her upper arms.
"How do you think I know?" he demanded. "I've watched you and Jag, I know! Would it make you feel better if I got down on my knees and cried? How about if I climbed the tallest tree we come across next and shouted it? I know, Jaina. I know because you've been flaunting your relationship with that stiff-necked pilot since his return! You've been rubbing my nose in the fact that he has you and I can't. How do you think that makes me feel, Jaina? How?!"
She gasped softly as his hands, of their own accord, softened into a firm caress down her arms and then back to her shoulders. But it was the anger simmering in her gaze that caught him "I don't know, Kyp, how does that make you feel? You never tell me anything! You think I should know, and I don't, so why don't you just tell me?"
He glared at her, "It makes me want to cry, you selfish woman." He fairly shouted the words at her, "I'm watching the one woman who has the power to make me, me!, Kyp Durron, beg! I watch you play around with your emotionless Colonel. I want to break something, to scream and yell at you. I love you dammit, and you don't even realize it!"
Her jaw dropped and she froze under his hands. "You... you what?"
His gaze was hard, uncompromising. "I love you. I have for a long time, and you know it. You've known it since before Fel made his reappearance; you've just ignored it. Ignored me. I'm through being ignored, Jaina."
