The Power Of Love Part 2 Adult As he dressed no words were exchanged between them. Catherine wanted to tell him how much their lovemaking had meant to her, how much she loved him. She wanted him to tell her how he felt. She wanted to discuss the passion they shared. Most of all she wanted to hear him say he loved her. But it was not to be. "Catherine it is time for you to go Megan will be here soon and I am concerned about how she will feel seeing you in my bed. Hearing his concern over Meagan feelings and not hers hurt her deeply. His disposition was so different now. It was as if what happened between was the farest thing from his mind. . Lowering her head to hide her tears, she said "all right."" Climbing out of bed, she kept her back to him as she gathered her clothes "Vincent is there was someplace where I can wash up?" She had closed their bond but he could hear the hurt in her voice, see her tiny body trembling but all he could think about was having tea with Megan. "Yes there is." "I will take you to the hot spring but I cannot be gone too long. His words stunned her all she could say was "Thank you." As they walked there no ways were spoken. Arriving "Catherine remember you cannot be long." " "I will be waiting for you.� "Vincent I promise I won't be long but I would rather be alone." "That's fine." "It will give me a chance to change the linen on my bed and he left." Once he was gone she gave in to the hurt and pain their separation would bring and his lack of concern about everything else that happened. Uncontrollable sobs wrecked her body as she tried to wash up. When he returned ten minutes later she was somewhat composed. " I will be done in a moment." She stood beneath the waterfall letting it wash away the soapsuds and the tears upon her face. His concern over Megan disappeared when the sight before him mesmerized him. Catherine looked like an angel beneath the crystal clear water and he envied it for caressing her naked beauty, as he had done not so long ago. He watched how the coolness of it hardened the nipples he would never again caress. He looked at the water wash away the evidence of their lovemaking. It hurt knowing it would never be there again. He would never feel as safe as he had been nestled inside the sweetness of her love; her beautiful body would never again nurture his seeds. It pained him more than he realized to let her go. But last night Megan made him realize he was holding Catherine back from living the life she was destined to live. A life without limits, boundaries and secrets. A life without him. When she left the springs, he watched her gracefully bend down to dry her slender but muscular legs, giving him a lovely view of her perfect derri�re. He gazed at her well-rounded hips and tiny waist. He saw the puckered skin surrounding the nipples of her breast, remembering hold it felt to hold and suckle the tender buds between his lips. He admired her swanlike neck, remembered the sweet taste of her full pinks lips, and the burning desire for him shining in her lovely gray green eyes. Catherine was the most beautiful woman he has ever seen... How fortunate he had been to experience her love for the short time that he had. Will he be able to live with himself knowing he gave up the only women he could ever love? Will he be able to live with himself knowing another man will enjoy her warmth, her comfort, and her beauty? Another man will be gifted with the pleasures she offered, the joys she once bestowed upon him. Another man will make love to her; lose him in the sweetness her delicate body, loving her, giving her his seeds. What hurts the most, never considering the possibly until this moment, she will bare another man's child. She called him name bringing his thoughts to the present. " Vincent I am ready to go." As they walked to the entrance leading to her world, her movements were slow, hesitant as she climbed the ladder to her world. She stopped a moment and looked down at him hoping he would ask her to stay. "Goodbye Catherine." "Goodbye Vincent." With all the power within her she resumed her journey above. Halfway up Vincent started to reach out to stop her, than Megan�s words entered is thoughts, "a life without you". Lowering his hands he let her go. A week later Catherine was home working on the case for tomorrow. Since Vincent requested the time apart she has dove into her work; working to all hours of the night even the weekends. It was exhausting but it helped keep her mind off the separation. That night Vincent came to her, she was so happy to see him. She ran to the balcony and went to him. Placing her arms around him, resting her head against his chest inhaling his unique scent she loved so well. "'I have missed you so much." He did not respond or return her embrace. Instead he removed her arms from his waist. "Vincent what's wrong?" She noticed a strange look about him. His piercing blue eyes were glassy, darker. "Nothing is wrong Catherine." "I came to tell you goodbye forever.� "No Vincent you cannot mean that.� "You said we needed time apart." "It cannot be over between us." "We love each other." "When you made love to me a week ago I felt your love Vincent." "What we shared that day was the most beautiful experience of my life." "It was part of our dream." "I cannot give that up. I won't give that up." "Catherine I am sorry you must." "Our dream has ended I love another." "You love someone else?" "Yes Megan." "How could he do this to me?" Catherine's heart hardens more from anger than pain. She lashed out at him. "You didn't waste much time did you Vincent?� " I guess I read more into that day we made love." "Well at least we both got what we wanted." "You complied with my request and satisfied your needs until Megan gave in." "You humored me by giving me something to hold on too eventhough you knew it was over." "You gave me my heart's desire only to take it away." "That was cruel Vincent.� �Had I known it was over between us than, I would not have asked you to make love to me." "You knew that so you decided to keep that bit of information to yourself until you got from me what you couldn't get from Megan." " Catherine that is not true you were not a substitute for Megan." "I wanted to make love to you that day." " I have wanted to since the day I found you but it has been a commitment I was not ready to make." I have always felt your desire for me but I would not allow myself to act upon it." "You have asked so little of me during our relationship on that day for some reason I could not refuse you." "I can tell you why." Vincent heard the anger in Catherine's voice felt her undeniable pain as she spoke. "You felt quilty so you gave me what I always wanted, took all you needed, which I might add was quite a lot, easing your conscience in the process." "You used me Vincent." "How can you say that?" "I would never use you Catherine." "Let me explain.� She cut him off, "Vincent what is there to explain?" "You screwed me twice." Vincent wince a moment at the bitterness of her words. "Catherine that was not how it was." "Oh come on Vincent, we both know it to be true." "We have been separated a week, if what happened between us meant anything to you, there would not be another woman waiting for you in your bed." "Tell me is your lovemaking as passionate as ours was?" "Does she make you feel like I did?" "He gently touched her arm Catherine stop this?" She snatched it away. "No I will not stop this." "Dammit Vincent answer me is she worth ending our Dream." "Catherine don�t do this to yourself." "I can feel how it's hurting you." "Vincent why do you care if this is hurting me?" "Right now nothing I say or do can hurt me more than you already have." Her words were like a knife to his heart. "Catherine I do care." "The last thing I ever wanted to do was cause you pain." "Please let me explain why I****. She interrupted him, "Vincent do you honestly think telling how you fell in love with another woman a week after making love to me would make me feel better?" "That is not what I wanted to tell you Catherine." Vincent right now I do not want to hear anything you have to say." "You asked for a separation you got it." "Now you are telling me it's over." "You made both of those decision not me." "Vincent you ended our dream there is nothing left to say but goodbye." Catherine was right there was nothing left to say. What he did was heartless, shallow and cruel. "I hope you find the happiness you deserve." "Good bye Catherine." With that statement he leaped over the balcony wall. " I will never find happiness without you Vincent and you know it." When Vincent returned Below Megan was lying naked in his bed. "Make love to me Vincent." "Megan I cannot and will not become your lover." (Thinking to herself you will become my lover but you don't know that yet) "I am sorry if you misunderstood my attention. "Megan I need to be alone right now, I just broke Catherine's heart." ' "Want to talk about it over tea. He nodded his head. Halfway through his second cup of tainted tea the ecstasy hit him. Laying down the cup he carried Megan to the bed. When she opened her legs to him, he began to sweat and tremble his need for release becoming desperate.
