Chapter.1
Catherine sat at the kitchen table drinking a glass of milk and ate some cookies. She was afraid to go to sleep, because of the nightmares she usually got. Looking at the clock, she saw that it was 2 AM. She reluctantly ate the last cookie and drank the last of her milk. It was really depressing, when she was all alone. Heather was out of town for the weekend. The ticking of the clock, was slowly driving her crazy. She missed Heather's laugh at the moment.
Sighing deeply, she sat on her couch and tried to watch TV. Flipping through the channels, she got irritated because she couldn't find something that she wanted to watch.
"Aaarghh!" she shouted out of annoyance.
"What's wrong, Cath?" she heard a voice from behind.
She was startled by his voice and said.
"Vincent! You want to give me a heart attack, do you?"
"Sorry, I was outside and heard that you weren't able to sleep. What happened?" he asked with a worried tone in his voice.
"Nothing, Vincent." She whispered.
"Come on, I can see clearly that there's something wrong." He stated.
Catherine didn't answer him; instead she avoided his gaze by looking at the TV. Vincent took a seat next to her and said.
"Look at me, Cath. Please?"
She wasn't in the mood to tell him anything. It was hard enough for her to be near him and not be able to touch him. Yes, she was in love with Vincent. But she didn't have the courage to say it out loud. Let alone admit it to him. These past few weeks were literally torture for her. He was so damn sexy and hot and attractive. And his voice was so … aaaaaagh!
Everything about him drove her mad. Never before did she feel the way he made her feel. He was a great guy. He had such a good heart and he was the kindest man she had ever met. She knows that he can become a beast, but to her he was beautiful inside and out. He probably didn't realize it, but she was extremely attracted to him. She was in love with him and wanted to be with him as much as she could. But her job made that so hard. Of course Tess had noticed that she was dreamy during the day, thinking about Vincent. But she denied that she was indeed in love.
In love with a Beast? No… She was in love with this man who was sitting next to her. He was being all sexy and hot, without even realizing how much he was killing her with his hotness.
"Catherine? Will you look at me please?" he pleaded.
She finally caved and looked up, ending up locking eyes with him. He looked so concerned and worried, but she didn't want to tell him about the nightmares or how she missed Heather.
"Tell me, pl…" he began, but was cut off by Catherine's lips.
Vincent was shocked to feel her lips on his. At first he didn't respond, but after a few seconds he did. Her scent was making his head spin and her pink lips felt so damn good. While closing his eyes, he slowly began to move his lips. His hands were on the couch, but when she sweetly bit on his lower lip he cupped her cheek with one hand and the other disappeared in her gorgeous, dark hair. She moaned at his touch, completely turning him on.
