Four days later, we drove the rental car along the narrow roads and Jack pulled beneath the carport of an enchanting villa on the water.
“I hope your client has food. I realize we ate three hours ago, but the air here makes me ravenous.”
He laughed. “Glad I’m not the only one. Come on.”
Opening the trunk, he grabbed our bags and grinned at me as we walked up concrete steps.
I tilted my head when he took a keyring from his pocket. “You have a key to your client’s house?”
“Something like that.”
The inside was breathtaking and a solid wall of glass showed the deep blue of the water beyond.
Jack dropped our bags and took me in his arms. He kissed me until I was limp.
Staring down at me, he stroked one hand over my cheek. “I love your body, your eyes, your hair, your delectable mouth, and your sweet, sweet pussy.”
“I happen to adore all the goodies you have to offer as well.”
“As much as I worship your body…it would never be enough on its own. It’s why I appreciate your brilliant mind, sense of humor, and sarcastic participation in any given situation.”
“I can’t help it that stupid people don’t know they’re stupid, Jack. If you can’t school them, mock them.”
“I hear you. Believe me.” He kissed me again and I realized his hands shook slightly. “Your body, your mind still wouldn’t be enough for me.”
He rested his hand over my heart and I stilled.
“Do you love me, Petra?” Tugging my lower lip between my teeth, I nodded. “I love you, too.”
“Jack…?”
“If you’ll trust me with your mind, your body, and your heart, I’ll never give you a reason to regret it. I’ll treat them gently, help them be strong, and lean on them when I feel weaker.”
I whispered, “I trust you, Jack.”
“In thirty-seven years, I’ve never given my heart to another person, Petra. Not once. I don’t think you have either. The time had to be right for both of us. We had to meet. Maybe you even had to be wearing that hideous yellow dress.”
I blinked back the tears in my eyes.
“I brought you here, far from our friends, our family, our clients, so that I could tell you how much I love you, how much I need you…without an audience or other people’s expectations. It isn’t about them. It’s about us.”
I nodded.
“You’re strong. I know you don’t need me and it’s part of what makes me love you. Don’t feel any pressure…”
I reached up and put my fingers over his lips. “Jack. If you don’t fuckingaskme, I’m going to start screaming.”
His smile never failed to slay me. “Marry me, wench.”
“Fuck yes, I will.”
After hours of animalistic sex on every surface in the villa, I started laughing out of nowhere.
“I’m afraid to ask,” he mumbled from his position collapsed on top of me.
“I’ll never have the energy for UFC the way you fuck me.”
He snuggled closer and I thanked God I wasn’t claustrophobic the way he held me when he was tired.
