Katlyn found Eddie waiting in the woods the same place he had been yesterday.
"Well?" Eddie said.
"Count me out Eddie, I'm going straight." Katlyn said.
"Well girl, I'm sorry to hear that cause your going to do this job." Eddie said.
"No I'm not Eddie." Katlyn said turning to walk away.
"Ya know, that little girl Jessie looks awfully happy in her new home, it would be a shame if something happened to her." Eddie said slyly.
Katlyn turned around.
"You better stay away from her." Katlyn said angrily.
"Well do this one job, you'll get paid, and you want have to worry about anything happening to your little friend." Eddie said smiling.
Katlyn knew she was stuck, Eddie wasn't playing, and he would hurt Jessie.
Eddie knew he had won, he came over and handed her the building plans for the museum.
"Now I'll meet you here in a week and I expect you to have a plan on how to get those diamonds and get around the security system." Eddie said and walked off.
Katlyn stood there staring at the plans, she didn't have no choice she had to do this, hopefully Mark wouldn't find out.
She turned and made her way up to the house.
Mark heard the door to Katlyn's bedroom open and close. She had been out for another late night walk. He got up and went to check on her. He opened the door and caught his breath. He should have knocked. She was changing back into her nightgown and he caught a glimpse of her in nothing but her panties. God she was beautiful. The bruises were starting to fade. She looked like an angel.
Katlyn seen him standing there and quickly pulled the gown down over her head.
"Sorry Darlin, I should have knocked." Mark said.
"It's okay." Katlyn said climbing in the bed.
"Couldn't sleep?" Mark asked.
Katlyn shook her head.
"Ya got a lot of restless energy; ya need something to help ya sleep." Mark said sitting down on the side of the bed.
"Like what?" Katlyn asked.
Mark swallowed hard, he could think of lots of things to burn off her restless energy. Ok Mark, stop being a pervert he said to himself.
"Well maybe a good workout in the gym a couple of hours before ya go to bed." Mark said.
"Oh well okay, will you workout with me?" Katlyn said.
"Yeah sure." Mark said.
Mark stood up abruptly.
"I'll see ya in the morning." Mark said and left quietly shutting her door.
Katlyn laid back and sighed. She was going to have to be careful. Mark was a light sleeper it was like he heard her every move. If she wasn't careful he was going to find out what she was doing and that's the last thing she wanted.
The next few days went by quickly. Katlyn stayed busy in the morning with her classes. Her and Mark would spend the rest of the day together, just doing whatever and then they workout in the afternoons. Katlyn spent the late evening in her room, studying the plans for the museum and the security system working out a plan to get past the system. She thought she could do it. She would give Eddie a list of the equipment she would need when he came by in a few days. Katlyn felt guilty about what she was doing, Mark had been so kind, she didn't like doing this but what choice did she have. She couldn't let anything happen to Jessie.
Mark was fixing dinner in the kitchen. For the last couple of days Katlyn would spend the evening in her room. He had asked her was anything bothering her but she said no.
He didn't think anything was wrong, they had become pretty close. They spent a lot of time together. Katlyn had opened up to him; they spent a lot of time talking. He felt like they were friends and she had began to trust him. But there was something else too, he was attracted to her, there was no doubt of that. Sometimes he felt like she felt the same way, but he couldn't tell if it was just gratitude because he had helped her. He didn't want her to feel some kind of obligation to him, just because he had helped her. She was awfully young too, much too young to be sure of anything.
Katlyn walked in the kitchen and seen a worried look on Mark's face.
"What's wrong? Katlyn asked going over to put her hand on his big arm.
Mark looked down in her pretty brown eyes and smiled.
"Nothing Katy." Mark said.
"Want some help with dinner?" Katlyn asked.
"Sure, want to make a salad for us?" Mark asked.
"Okay." Katlyn said.
She went to the fridge and got the stuff to gather for the salad and set it on the counter. Mark sat on a barstool next to her. Katlyn turned and looked at him and on impulse leaned over and kissed his cheek.
Mark smiled and raised his hand to caress her cheek.
"What in the world did I do to deserve that?" Mark asked.
"No special reason, I like you that's all." Katlyn said and went back to making the salad.
Mark watched her. Her innocence radiated from her like a halo. He wanted her all right but he wanted more than sex. He wanted it all her the whole nine yards. His own thoughts shocked him. He had just come out of a bad divorce, what the hell was he thinking.
