Chapter Fourteen

Cameron pulled Abby into the house, his lips on hers in an instant. He pulled away and whispered, "When was the last time we were here - by ourselves. No kids?"

She stumbled and his arms closed around her to catch her. "I can't remember." Abby said with a sigh. "Fifteen years ago - maybe?"

Cam grinned as he carefully took her glasses off and placed them on the table nearby. He eased her onto the couch, his hands running through her hair. "I can't believe it. We don't even have to go anywhere. We can stay right here." His hands lifted the hem of her sweater and pulled it over her head. He tossed it aside and it caught on the newel post of the stairs.

His hands played over her skin, teasing her and making her breath catch in her throat. "The things that make you happy." Abby shook her head as she moved to push his shirt off his shoulders, grinning madly. Between kisses she whispered to him, "Did I tell you what I saw? Did you know that Alison and Rafe are planning on having another baby?"

Cam pulled away sharply. "Are you trying to ruin the mood?" He stared at her. He honestly thought he was finished, but looking at her? He could feel it all over again. How amazing it was when he saw their little faces for the first time. He ran a finger down her cheek and his voice trembled and he asked, "Abigail. Please. Do not tell me you want to…"

Look at him, she thought with a laugh. He's scared to death. "No. Honey. I don't. We're done." Abby pushed him back into the cushions and kissed him deeply. "We have our three little heathens. They're more than enough for me."

"Even if we're done. That doesn't mean we can't practice does it?" Cam asked as he pulled her closer, desperate to feel her skin against his.

Abby grinned widely and kissed him again. "No. There's nothing wrong with that."

Snuggled in blankets on the floor of Kate's room, the girls had been home for hours, but were still chatting.

"Go to sleep Lia." Kate sighed. She was having enough trouble sleeping without Lia rehashing the whole night for the thousandth time. She remembered every single second. She couldn't get him out of her mind.

"Nope. Not yet. Sorry Kate - I'm living vicariously through you." Julia replied. "I need details."

"You saw it all right there when it happened. You have all the details." Kate said with a giggle.

"OK - but you need to find out if he has a couple of friends, because it's no fair. You're having all the luck."

While Kate and Lia giggled and mooned over Colin, Lynnie was beginning to see things in her mind.

"Kate…." She murmured.

"Lynnie?" Julia looked at her sister with concern. As twins there was a lot of things they shared and though she could sometimes predict what hers sister would do, she didn't have the same gift. She saw how it was sometimes more of a curse than a blessing. She grabbed Lynnie's hand and held tight.

"Katie. Be careful." Lynnie said then. "He's not who you think he is."

"Lynnie?" Kate looked at her curious. "I don't know who he is, I don't think he's anyone at the moment."

Except that he's gorgeous and an amazing kisser. She thought with a sigh.

"I don't know how to describe it." Lynnie looked at both of them, her mind clear again. "I just - I get this feeling that something is going to happen. Something that will break your heart. I want you to be careful with him, Katie." Lynnie took Kate's hand in hers and squeezed tight. "He seems like a really nice guy but he's a stranger. Just go slow - OK? I saw what happened tonight and it's amazing - but don't jump into anything. Promise me. Please?"

Kate had learned over the years to trust Lynnie's instincts. She knew she made a good point - but she wasn't sure she'd be able to resist. "I promise. I'll try."

Lynnie's words worried her, but Lia wanted to lighten the mood. "It would help if he wasn't so adorable - wouldn't it?" She said with a laugh.

"Yeah." Kate said with a sigh, her eyes dreamy. "It'd help a lot."

*******************

Colin paced around his room, wanting to go and find her. But, she said her father was strict so that might not be the best idea. Besides. He had no idea where she lived.

Still the only thing he could think of was Katrina. He knew this whole thing wasn't a good idea, but for the first time in forever, he didn't care.

He could still see her face, he could still feel how soft her skin felt, how amazing whatever perfume she wore smelled. She was way out of his league but he didn't care. The more he learned about her, the more he wanted to know.

His cell phone rang and he was feeling so incredible for the first time in a long while, he didn't check to see who was calling before he answered. It was ridiculous but he was almost thinking it was her.

"Hello?" He said brightly.

He sounded happy. That was a good sign. "Colin?" A familiar voice replied.

"Mom.." He sighed. He should have paid more attention. This wasn't going to be fun.

"I didn't think you'd answer." Livvie said sadly.

"You caught me at a bad moment." He replied.

She could hear it in his voice. He was ready to hang up already. "Colin - please. Talk to me."

"Are you still with him?" He asked, already knowing the answer.

"Yes." She whispered.

"Then I'm done with this conversation." Until she left his father, there was nothing to discuss.

"You don't understand…" She began.

"You've got that right. I don't. I don't understand why you're with him and I surely don't understand why you bothered to have me. He's a monster. He doesn't have relationships he manipulates people into doing what he wants. And the way he lives? I've said this a million times before but just to refresh your memory. I want no part of it. Until you feel the same - don't bother calling me anymore."

"Sweetie, I'm worried about you." Livvie said then.

"Don't be." He replied with a shrug, his voice far more confident than he felt. "I'm fine."

"At least tell me where you are." She pleaded.

"Ask your husband - I'm sure he knows." Colin snapped at her. "I'm sure he's having me followed. Hopefully, I'm two steps ahead of whatever lackey he's got on my case. I'm in the States. That's all you're getting."

"Colin…" She had no idea how to get through to him. "Please. Be careful. I love you."

Hearing the words made his heart ache. "That might even be true - but there's no denying - you love him much more. You chose him over me years ago, Mom. I'm sure you are worried but it's not my job to make you feel better about the choices you made. Don't expect me to be happy to hear from you. As a matter of fact - don't bother calling me again."

His mood completely ruined, he hung up and turned off the phone. It was no big deal. He tried to convince himself. I'm fine. I don't need anyone.

As the thoughts flew through his mind, he knew it was a lie. For the first time he had to actually admit it, because his very next thought was that he needed to find Katrina.
