Chapter 16

Jenna opened her eyes and looked around the dark room. She knew she was in bed, but it wasn’t her bed. She sat up and rubbed her eyes in an attempt to wake herself up. Then it all came back.

She was alone and she was sure Jackson wasn’t in another room. Jenna was always able to sense the presence of other people in her home. Though it wasn’t abnormal for her to wake up by herself, she hadn’t wanted to this time. That simple fact told her all she needed to know.

Probably more.

“I scared him off.” That thought haunted her in the time it took to wash her face and brush her teeth for bed. A part of her knew while she was talking to Jackson earlier that it was too much information to dump on him at once. Or maybe it was that some of it was the kind of information she was never supposed to share. She couldn’t blame him for running at the first opportunity. It’s what any guy would do.

Why did he have to be any guy? He was supposed to be special – or at least, she wanted him to be special. She wanted more than anything for him to be that one percent of men out there who could handle – really handle – when things got tough and real and honest.

If only wanting something made it real.

But deep down, Jenna knew how unfair that was. Once in a lifetime was all anyone could hope for something like that. Her once upon a time had already come and gone long ago. Everything she ever wanted in a man, she’d already had in Tony. To try to project all his qualities onto Jackson wasn’t just unrealistic, it was insanity.

It was also cruel.

To Jackson.

How could he think anything about the way she’d thrown herself at him that night other than what he thought? Why would he believe her desire for him was separate from the rush of emotional release she’d experienced just before? She couldn’t blame him now if he was wondering now about each time things had grown heated between them. Would he be able to realize her need to touch him, kiss him, feel every inch of him had nothing to do with filling the void left by Tony?

Could he understand it?

She didn’t.

In so many ways, Jackson did remind her of Tony and that terrified her. Tall, dark hair, wicked sense of humor. Then there was the powerful authority that exuded from his very being in even the most casual of situations. It made sense for Tony to have that being that he was a seasoned member of law enforcement, but Jackson…She’d never in her life met an accountant who could pull that off. While some might fire off a few shots at the firing range, there were few accountants who would ever have that same sense of confidence that came from wielding a weapon to save lives, knowing that they could beat anyone to the draw.
