"Jack, this is insane. What about my car? What about Conner? What about your job?" Kate protested as they drove away from the cabin.
"It's not insane, impulsive maybe, but not insane. We'll pick your car up later. We'll call Conner later. I spoke with my father and he approved the time off. He said the little girl, the surviving twin is doing very well, wiggling her toes, bladder and bowels are functioning and she's in a lot of pain so they sedated her. All excellent signs that she's going to make a full recovery." Jack explained.
"And you don't want to be there to see it happen?" Kate asked.
"I'll see her before she's released. Right now I just want to focus on you, on us. Okay?" He said.
"What about clothes? We don't have anything packed." Kate continued to argue.
He pulled the car to the side of the road and put it into park. He turned sideways and looked at her.
"Do you love me Kate?" He asked.
"Yes." She answered.
"Do you trust me?" He asked.
"Yes." She answered.
"Do you want to get married?" He asked.
"Do you?" She asked.
"Yes Kate I do, but if you don't want to get married say so right now and I'll turn the car around, we'll pick up your car and we'll go home and wait until you are ready." He said.
"I'm scared Jack." She said.
"What are you afraid of?" He asked.
"What if I'm not any good at being someone's wife? What if I'm not what you expect me to be?" She expressed her insecurities, biting her bottom lip and refusing to look at him.
He placed his fingers beneath her chin and tilted her head up until she was looking at him. He kissed her gently and let his forehead rest against hers.
"I could ask the same questions and do. Kate, I don't expect you to be anything but what you have been since the day I met you. God, I can look at you and my entire world suddenly becomes five or six shades brighter than it was. When I see the way Conner looks at you any doubts I may have vanish. I think about this baby you're carrying and I feel anxious and excited." He told her.
"You forgot to mention the sex." She teased.
"So you just love me for my body huh? I see how you are." He teased back.
"I do love your body, every inch of it." She giggled.
"But do you love the rest of me enough to want to spend the rest of your life with me?" He asked and kissed her again, pulling back this time so he could look into her eyes.
"I do." She answered.
He smiled and kissed her one more time before pulling the car back onto the road.
"This is going to be fun Kate. Have you ever been to Vegas?" He asked.
"No, but going any place with you would be fun." She said.
"We'll go shopping and buy us a few things to wear. You've been wearing my sweat pants lately anyway so apparently it's time for some new clothes, ones that fit, ones that everyone will look at you when we're out together and know you're pregnant with my baby." He said proudly.
"Yeah, my jeans were leaving marks on my stomach. I figured I should probably stop squishing the baby." Kate said.
"Kate." He said in a disapproving tone.
"What? Apparently you noticed I'm getting fat. Why didn't you bring it up?" She defended herself.
"You seriously think I'd ever make a comment about you needing bigger clothes?" He laughed.
"I guess that probably is in a guy's top 10 list of things to never say to woman." Kate agreed with a light laugh.
"No, it's definitely in the top 3." Jack told her.
"Your mom and I were going to go shopping this week, but I decided to go crazy instead." Kate said.
"So does that mean you and my mom like each other?" Jack asked.
"We get along fine Jack. I don't think I'm quite as polished as she would like, but she does her best to look past that and make me feel welcome." Kate said.
"You can still go shopping with her. I plan on keeping you naked as much as possible for the next week so we won't have to buy much." He said and winked at her.
"We're staying for a week?" Kate asked.
"At least a week, we need time for just the two of us. We can gamble; catch some shows, whatever you want." Jack answered.
"Stay in bed and order room service?" Kate asked with a grin in sexy tone, making him laugh lightly.
"Proof positive that I'm the luckiest guy in the world." Jack said as he pulled the hand he was holding up to his face kissed it.
It was late evening when they arrived at their hotel. He'd asked his father to make reservations for him at the newest 5-star hotel in the area. He pulled his car up to the front of the hotel and handed his keys to the valet. They checked in and were escorted to the elevators that led to their suite. They showed their room key cards to the security guard posted at the elevators and rode the elevator to the 16th floor. They entered the suite and both stopped to take it in. The large windows that looked out over the strip were amazing, the flat screen television mounted to the wall was nicer than the one they currently had in their home. The stocked refreshment cabinet beside the sofa and two chairs gave it a feeling of hominess. The deep, wide Jacuzzi tub that would most definitely get used their first night complete with a selection of bath oils caught both of their attention at the same time and they shared a knowing smile. The large, cozy king-sized bed with so many pillows half the bed was hidden looked inviting after their long drive.
"This is amazing Jack." Kate said.
"Yeah it is. I've never stayed here, but my dad said it was great. Looks like he was right." Jack said.
He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close to him, kissing her gently and then allowing her to wrap her arms around his waist and melt into him. He hugged her softly, inhaling the scent of her as his hands rubbed slowly over her back.
"I guess we could go downstairs and eat dinner and go play the slots for awhile if you want." He offered.
"Yeah, or we could order room service, share a hot bath and make love." Kate responded.
"You don't want to wait until our wedding night?" He teased.
"We're completely alone in this beautiful hotel. I'm not waiting for anything Jack." She mumbled into his chest.
He convinced her to look up at him and began kissing her softly, talking to her in-between each kiss.
"There's a ton of sex shops on the strip. (Kiss) Maybe while we're out tomorrow we'll stop and find the perfect massage oils (kiss), tasty lubes (kiss) and whatever other interesting toys that catch our eye (kiss)." He suggested in a soft, seductive tone.
"Should we do that before or after we buy me a white dress to get married in?" She asked making him chuckle and wrap his arms around her tightly.
"I love you so much." He sighed happily.
"Me too you." She returned the sigh.
"Let's order room service, call Conner, eat and take that bath you suggested." He said.
They ordered their dinner and called Conner. He was very excited that they were getting married and didn't mind staying with his grandparents. Oddly Jack' father only spoke to him long enough to let him know the surviving twin was steadily recovering and told him to not think about work. Jack tossed his cell phone onto the desk and looked strangely at it for a moment.
"What's wrong?" Kate asked.
"My dad just told me not to think about the hospital and to enjoy my honeymoon." Jack said his tone suggesting he was really confused.
"And that's a problem because?" Kat laughed.
"My father's never suggested anything like that to me in my life Kate. It's really weird. I'm beginning to think aliens came down and took my dad and replaced him with this nice, normal person that loves his family." Jack said.
"I think you should take his advice. The idea of having you all to myself for a week is turning my insides to jelly. I'll be spoiled and won't want to give you back to your mistress." Kate said.
"So, we'll just have to make sure we make time for just you and me at least once a week and of course vacations for just you and me once in awhile. I'm going to work hard to make sure you never doubt us again." He promised.
"And I'm going to work hard to let go of all my insecurities because you've never given me any reason to feel insecure." She told him and locked him up in a passionate kiss that took them down onto the bed.
The kiss deepened and they began pulling at each other's clothes, hoping to sneak in a quickie before their dinner arrived. He quickly slipped off the sweatpants she was wearing along with her panties and moved his hand over her butt and down to her heat, moaning at the wetness there. He unbuttoned and unzipped his jeans and pushed them along with his underwear down to his knees. He sat up and let his legs hang over the side of the bed, his jeans and underwear now bunched around his ankles. With a knee placed on either side of his hips she positioned herself over him and they slowly connected with a loud groan emitting from both of them. Their sexual hunger was intense as they devoured each other's mouths. She finally stopped kissing him and wrapped her arms around his neck, moving up and down over his throbbing length, moaning every time she slid down and he thrust up. He was so deep she swore he might come out the other end at any moment.
"You feel so good Jack, so hard, so deep, go deeper." She moaned and felt him twitch inside of her.
"Like this." He said in a heated, lustful tone as he thrust up into her as hard as he could over and over until she clenched tightly around him, screamed his name loudly and then sunk her teeth into the meaty part of his back just below the shoulder.
He felt her teeth and his breath hitched as his own release came, shooting up into her once, twice and then a third and fourth time, his hips jerking subtly with each spurt. He held onto her rocking them slowly as they caught their breath and regained their ability to see again. She made no attempt to move, her head resting on his shoulder, their bodies still connected at the center. He could feel her tense up and hold her breath and then relax again.
"Hey, you okay?" He asked sweetly.
"Yeah." She said.
"You sure? I didn't hurt you did I?" He asked.
"It's fine Jack." She insisted.
"Kate, did I hurt you?" He asked and helped her move off of him.
"No, you didn't hurt me, but I'm having these sharp stabbing pains Jack. Do you think something is wrong?" She asked.
"Show me where it hurts." He said as he laid her back on the bed.
"All through my hips and along the bottom of my stomach." She told him and let him press around on her.
"Does this hurt?" He asked as he felt the bottom of her growing uterus and pressed hard enough to send her into orbit if there was a problem with the pregnancy.
"No, it stopped. What do you think it is Jack?" She asked her voice shaky and scared.
"It's okay Kate. Sometimes women have what's called round ligament pain during their pregnancy. Those are the ligaments that surround your uterus in your pelvis. They are starting to stretch and thicken so they'll be strong enough to support the pregnancy. The position we were in probably aggravated it. I hate to break this to you Kate, but you're going to have just lay back and let me do all the work from now on." He said with a smile and kissed her gently.
"Yeah, so how come a spinal surgeon knows about uterus ligaments?" Kate asked.
"Spinal surgery was the specialty I chose Kate, but it takes a lot of shifts of everything you can imagine before you get to proclaim yourself a specialist at something." He explained as he kicked his jeans off and pulled his boxers up while giving her the panties and sweat pants he'd pulled off of her.
"So you're sure the baby is okay?" Kate asked.
"Have the pains stopped?" Jack asked.
"Yes." She answered.
"The baby is fine. She's growing. I felt her." Jack said and smiled at her.
"You're going to be awfully disappointed if this baby has a penis." Kate laughed.
"No I won't." He grinned and kissed Kate's stomach.
"You're so sweet. A little girl would walk all over you." Kate teased.
"You mean more than Conner does?" Jack laughed.
"In ways you've not even imagined Jack." Kate smiled.
"If she's a small version of you I imagine I'll be a sucker for anything she wants." Jack admitted and began nuzzling her neck, making her squeal and try to squirm away from him.
They continued on until they heard the knock on the door. Jack slipped his jeans on and opened the door. Their dinners were placed on the table in the lounging area of the suite. Jack tipped the guy, walked him out, hung the Do Not Disturb sign on the door and closed it. They were both starving and made quick work of their meals. They relaxed into the couch for awhile and let their food settle. He began yawning and she looked up at him.
"I bet if you soak in that bathtub you'll sleep like a baby tonight." Kate suggested.
"It does sound nice, but I'm so tired I might fall asleep and drown." He said.
"I won't let you fall asleep." Kate promised and stood, taking his hand and pulling him up from the couch.
They filled the large tub with hot steaming water and added one of the bath oils. They climbed in together. Him on his back and her on her stomach, stretched out over him, her head resting just below his shoulder. They lay together like that until the water became too cool to enjoy and separated. Kate wrapped one of the plush white robes around her and walked to the windows that overlooked the strip. The lights seemed to go on forever. She felt him approach her from behind and slip his arms around her waist. She let her hands and arms come to rest over his and they stood together watching the city below them.
"So we're going to get married in the middle of all that?" Kate asked.
"We can. We have the chapel in this hotel reserved day after tomorrow at 6:30 PM, but we can use any chapel you want." He said.
"When did you do that?" Kate asked.
"I didn't. My father did it when he booked the suite." Jack chuckled.
"Romantic." Kate laughed lightly.
Jack turned her around to face him.
"He reserved the chapel; it's up to us whether or not we make the occasion romantic." Jack said.
"We don't even have rings Jack." Kate objected.
"We will. I know this seems rushed Kate and it is, but trust me, I'm going to make it special for us. Tomorrow we'll go get the license and the rings and something nice to wear. I promise you won't be disappointed and if we decide to do a big, formal wedding later we'll always have the memories of this quick must do now wedding. Admit it Kate, you want and need to do this now as much as I do." Jack said.
"I don't want or need a big, formal wedding, just you. Can we go look at the chapel and make sure Elvis won't be marrying us?" Kate asked making him chuckle.
"No Elvis impersonator performing the ceremony I promise." He said and kissed the tip of her nose.
"I don't deserve you Jack." She said and hugged him.
"No, you deserve better, but hopefully you're willing to settle for me." He said holding her tight to his bare chest, the wet towel around his waist starting to make him feel chilled.
"I could pull this towel off of you and you could make love to me in front of this window, in front of the entire city." Kate said.
"I'd rather take you to bed tonight, save the window sex for when I have a can of whip cream to decorate you with first." He teased making her giggle into his chest.
She stripped out of the robe and he the towel and met in the middle of the king-sized bed. He left most of the pillows on the bed so he could lay her back in the middle of them and take his time with her. She knew she was in for a lengthy foreplay that would consist of his mouth and his hands not leaving one area of her flesh untouched and after startling him earlier with the pains she knew better than to object, not that she would want to object, she just liked to return the attention and knew he'd have no part of that. His eyes were dark and lust-filled and his mind was made up that this was going to be all about her so she relaxed into the pillows, sighing peacefully, knowing he was about her to make her feel like no other man ever had. She would return the attention the next night, find something fun, and yet gentle to tantalize him with while they are out shopping.
He crawled up between her legs and kissed her deeply, their tongues moving slowly and sensually together, his mouth covering hers, staking his claim, announcing his role as the one in charge this time and she became wet as she felt all of the raw, but delicate hunger expressed so perfectly in his kiss. There was no talking, no demanding and no rough play. He was painfully gentle with her, treated her like a virgin bride while keeping her at a heightened state of arousal and he worked his tongue over her in ways that left her skin tingling, her nipples hard and begging to be rubbed and soothed and her center hot and dripping and begging to be filled the way that only he could fill her.
Instead he rubbed his fingers gently over her swollen nipples, soothing and electric at the same time while his lips blew warm air onto the tiny bundle nerves begging to be touched, rubbed or sucked on, anything that would take her over the edge. He brought his lips down and gently kissed her there, allowing the tip of his tongue to gently graze the sensitive nub and she moaned a long breathy moan. She was there, so close, just five more seconds of contact and she would've exploded. Liquid heat slowly dripped out of her, so wet and slippery he probably would have trouble staying inside her. She was squirming beneath him, moaning, ripe and ready and she felt him smile against her bikini line, his hot breath so close and his fingers gently spreading her, exposing her clit to him. He ran the tip of his tongue up and down the side of her clit and she screamed the orgasm right there, so close she was having a hard time catching her breath and he stopped. He moved his tongue to the other side of her clit and took her over the edge. Her hand clutching two handfuls of sheets, her feet digging into the mattress and her pussy rotating over his mouth and nose and she rode the wave "Oh My God Jack" the only intelligible sounds coming from her mouth.
When she finished he stayed between her legs, his body stretched out flat, his face right over her crotch seemingly fascinated with it as his fingers gently traced through the creases of her legs. He put her feet on his shoulders and encouraged her to let her knees fall back, opening up wide for him. She continued to hold onto the sheets and closed her eyes when she felt his finger penetrate her and move agonizingly slow in and out while his mouth licked the rest of her clean, sucking her clit into his teeth and then releasing it, the noises coming from her encouraging him to continue on. She bucked up toward his face and he could feel her toes digging into his back. He pulled his mouth away, but continued to move his finger in and out while she moaned and groaned through another orgasm, her body finally going still and her feet slipping off of his shoulders.
He scooted up between her legs and pushed himself into her fully in one quick thrust, her swollen, eager wetness accepting him easily. She was so hot and wet that he groaned out loud at the feeling of being swallowed up so quickly and easily, her walls swathed securely around him and squeezing him gently. He placed her ankles on his shoulders and pushed in as deep as he could go, looking for any sign of discomfort from her. Her face showed many things, discomfort not being one of them so he began thrusting into her in a steady rhythm, holding her hands up above her head, their fingers wrapped tightly together as he continued to thrust into her, watching her and feeling her. He saw it in her face before he felt it, her walls began clenching around him and her fingers wrapped tighter with his and she cried out this time, loudly and let go of an uncharacteristic "oh fuck yeah" that made him let go of a sexy, lusty chuckle and spill his seed into her.
When his last drop had spilled he gently dropped her legs off his shoulders and collapsed down onto his forearms, staying inside of her until all the sensitivity was gone, until he was completely soft and would easily slip out of her. The finally separated and then reunited again in the center of the bed, him on his back and her snuggled up next to him, her head resting over his heart. He pulled a sheet over them and both were asleep within minutes, "I love you" the only words muttered between them and almost simultaneously.
