Chapter Fifty
Those Sweet Words
In mid January, Karen and Jack were relaxing on their bed, Elizabeth and Sophia in between them as they napped.
"Kare," Jack said quietly. "I got a phone call from Zach yesterday."
"Oh yeah?" Karen asked, turning on her side and looking over at him. "What did he want?"
"He's going to be directing 'Chicago' again," Jack said, looking at her. "He wants me to play Billy Flynn again."
"Why the long face poodle?" Karen asked teasingly.
"Well, he wants to start rehearsing as soon as February starts," Jack said. "I don't want to leave you here with the girls by yourself all day."
Karen was quiet as she thought over what Jack had told her. "Do you want to be in the play again Jackie?" she asked.
"I'd love to, but I don't want-" Jack started to say.
"Hold on Jackie," Karen said. "I don't mind if you go. I'm sure you'd rather spend your day at the theater then with two babies and me."
"No way," Jack said, looking at her. "I'll call Zach and tell him I'm not interested."
Karen was about to protest his decision, when Sophia woke up and started to cry for a little bit.
~~~
Later that evening, just before dinner, Karen left the penthouse, telling Jack she was going to Grace's apartment to discuss something with her.
Jack had been a little surprised, but he let her leave without prying into why she had to go see Grace instead of just talking to her on the phone. After he had kissed Karen goodbye and closed the front door, he went up to Elizabeth's room so he could play with her and Sophia.
"Hey Rosie, you can go downstairs," he said as he entered the bedroom. "I'll watch them until Karen comes back."
"Okay Mister Jack," Rosario said, picking up her knitting and leaving the room.
Walking over to the little bassinet where Sophia was laying, Jack picked her up and rested her head on his shoulder. "It's just you girls and me until your mom comes back," he said looking at Elizabeth who was playing in her crib. He kissed the top of Sophia's head and then walked over to the window seat, sitting down.
Meanwhile, after Karen had left the penthouse, Karen met up with Katherine in the lobby. "Glad you're coming," she said, taking her sister's arm and pulling her out to the street.
"I don't see why I need to," Katherine said as they got into the back of the limo.
"I wanted company going over to Will's," Karen said, smiling at her.
When they got to Riverside Drive and went up to the ninth floor, Katherine knocked on the door to Will's apartment.
"Kat, Karen, what are you guys doing here?" Will asked when he opened the door for them. "Come inside," he then said, letting them in.
"Is Zach here?" Karen asked as Will closed the door behind him. "I want to talk with home about something."
"I'm right here, hello Karen, Katherine," Zach said, coming in from the terrace. "I just got a phone call from Jack; he turned down the role I offered him."
"That's what I want to talk to you about," Karen said as she sat down on the couch with Katherine. "He wants to be in the play, but he says he doesn't want to leave me with our girls by myself during the day. And of course he wants to spend time with them."
"Well, I'm not sure what I can do to have him agree to join the play," Zach said, scratching his head. "If he doesn't want to then-"
"What times were you planning on making the rehearsals?" Katherine suddenly asked. She had a feeling of what her sister was going to try and do.
"Oh, well, most likely I'll have them run from ten to twelve, a break for lunch," Zach answered after thinking for a moment. "And then from two to five."
"What if Jack came to the second part of rehearsals?" Karen suggested. "I mean, he's played this part before, so he's got to be able to remember most of the dances and the lines."
"Well, I suppose I could," Zach said. He sat down in the armchair next to the couch and said, "But I'll have to think about how I can make that work out."
"Do you really want Jack to be Billy Flynn?" Will asked, sitting on the arm of the chair Zach was sitting in.
"Yes, I do," Zach said, smiling up at his boyfriend. "You all saw him when I last did this play and you read the reviews. He's perfect for the role."
The apartment was quiet for a few moments while Zach appeared to think intently.
"Okay, my mind's made up," he said finally. "If Jack agrees to the schedule of rehearsing from two to five on weekdays, then he's in."
"Perfect," Karen said smiling. "Thank you Zach, I really appreciate you doing this. But I better not hear you flirting with him, he's MY poodle," she then said, shaking her finger at him.
"Umm, I won't Karen," Zach responded, looking over at Will.
"Come on Kath, we should head back before Jackie wonders what I'm doing out for so long," Karen said, getting up from the sofa. "Oh, and Zach, will you call Jack and tell him about we agreed on?"
"Sure," Zach said as he and Will followed the two women over to the door. "Do you want me to mention your part in this?"
"No honey, let Jackie figure it out on his own," Karen said as they walked out. "Bye."
~~~
Later that night, Karen was taking a bath and Jack was coming up the stairs from getting a glass of water. He walked into their bedroom and settled on the bed when the phone rang.
"I've got it," Jack yelled to Karen even though he knew she couldn't answer it. "McFarland residence," he answered.
"Hi Jack," the person on the other end said.
"Hey Zach, what's going on?" Jack asked absentmindedly, looking at a book on his nightstand.
"Well, I've been thinking about what you said to me earlier about playing Billy Flynn," Zach began. "And I think that maybe the hours of rehearsal aren't appealing to you."
"They weren't appealing to me," Jack said. "I turned down the play, remember?"
"Wait a minute Jack, hear me out," Zach said quickly. "I was thinking that maybe this has to do with the fact that you have two baby girls and want to spend more time with them and your wife. So, I've decided that if you'll play Bill Flynn, I'll only have you come in from two to five in the afternoon to rehearse."
"Are you serious?" Jack asked, completely surprised.
"Yeah, and I'm sure you don't really need to rehearse as much as the other actors," Zach said. "You've played this character before so I doubt you'll need to put in as much time."
Jack was quiet for a minute, taking in this news; he realized something and then told Zach his answer. "Okay, I'll do it Zach," he said with a small grin on his face.
"Great, now rehearsals start in February like I told you earlier," Zach said happily. "I'll call you then to tell you which day exactly. Thanks so much for joining Jack."
"Thanks for changing my hours and everything," Jack responded. He said goodnight to Zach and then he hung up the phone, marveling at his good luck. Smiling, he got off of the bed and went into the bathroom to talk with Karen.
Relaxing in the tub, Karen had heard Jack's half of the conversation and was pleased that he had taken the role. While she wanted Jack to stay all day, she felt that he needed some outside activities so he wouldn't grow bored with her or their daughters. "Who was that Jackie?" she asked when he came into the bathroom.
"Zach, he offered me the part again," Jack said, sitting on the edge of the tub. "And he's says I'll only need to rehearse three hours a day."
"Did you accept?" Karen asked, already knowing the answer.
"Yep," Jack said. He turned to her and then said, "I have a feeling that you asked him to do that."
"You're too smart poodle," Karen said, with a smile on her face.
"Why?" Jack asked seriously.
"Well, I know how much you love to act, so I thought you should go back now, then wait until I go back to work too," Karen said.
"Will you be okay taking care of Ebie and Sophie while I rehearse?" Jack then asked.
"Of course honey, it's only for three hours on weekdays," Karen said soothingly. "I'll be fine."
Jack smiled and then leaned over to kiss her deeply. When they pulled apart he said, "Thank you so much Kare."
"You're welcome Jackie," Karen responded. She got up then and started to step out of the tub. "Hand me that towel right there." When he handed her the towel, she dried herself off and then wrapped it around her body.
Just as Karen was about to go to her closet, Jack reached out and grabbed her arm. "I don't think you'll need to get your pajamas on tonight Kare," his voice a little husky.
Karen smiled as Jack led her out to the bedroom and over to the bed. She let him push her back on the mattress gently and then she reached up to him. "Come here poodle, let me kiss you," she said, pulling his lips to hers.
When they separated so they could breathe, Jack said breathlessly, "I want to show you how thankful I am Kare."
"Oh?" Karen asked, surprised. "Well, go ahead Jackie."
Jack smiled and reached down pulling the towel apart so her body was visible to him. "It's like opening the best Christmas present in the world," he said, a smile on his face. While Karen giggled, he immediately descended on her body, placing quick, small kisses over every inch of her skin.
Sighing, Karen put her hands up on the pillow next to her face. She felt herself growing more aroused with each kiss Jack gave her, but she wouldn't stop him for all the money in the world.
"God Kare," Jack murmured as he gently spread her legs apart. "I worship you." Not waiting for a reaction from her, he descended on her, pleasuring her with his mouth and tongue.
Moaning, Karen's hands clenched into fists of their own will. She lifted her head up enough and watched Jack as he inflicted the most delicious of tortures on her body. After a while, she lay her head back down and then cried out incoherently as she reached her peak.
Pulling away from Karen's lower body, Jack sat up on his knees and then removed the towel from underneath her. He waited a few moments until he was sure she had recovered from his little pleasuring session. Then he brought his lips to hers and kissed her ardently for a long time.
Giving out a little moan, Karen pulled away from the kiss as she felt Jack's body press down on her own. "Jackie," she whispered.
"Huh?" Jack replied, glancing up at her from where he had been kissing her neck. He stared into her eyes for a few minutes before smiling. He then sat up on his knees again and unbuttoned his shirt before pulling it off. With Karen's help, they took off his trousers and then his boxers. When he was naked, he got on top of her and lowered his body down. "Love you," he mumbled as he entered her slowly.
"Ohh, love you," Karen responded, wrapping her arms around Jack's neck.
Jack smiled and started to thrust in and out of her, keeping his eyes open so he could watch her while they made love.
At some point, Karen opened her eyes and looked up at Jack, giving a little gasp that was mixed in with a moan. "Oh Jackie...Jack," she whispered. She then pulled his face to hers and they kissed passionately. After a while, she pulled away and gave a long, husky moan as she climaxed around him.
Breathing harshly, Jack kissed Karen's bottom lip and then felt his body shudder. He then buried his face into her hair which was loose on the pillow. He groaned out Karen's name as he climaxed at the same time she did.
While Jack was catching his breath, Karen ran her fingers through his slightly damp hair and then kissed the top of his head.
"I want you to sleep on top of me tonight Kare," Jack said. Before waiting for a response from his wife, he flipped back on the mattress, bringing Karen with him.
"Mmm, this is nice," Karen said and said rested her cheek next to Jack's. "Good night my sweet poodle," she then said after yawning a little. "I love you."
Jack kissed Karen deeply for a few minutes before putting his arms around her back and saying, "Night Kare, love you."
~~~
Once the rehearsals for 'Chicago' began, Jack was surprised to find that he was very pleased to return to the theater and to a character that he remembered well. He still missed Karen and their daughters though, and he was always hesitant about leaving them in the afternoons. He had found though that the best part of the day was when he came home after rehearsal and he kissed Karen hello before they went upstairs so he could wake up the girls from their naps.
Karen herself realized that she enjoyed being alone with her daughters while Jack was at the theater. She usually played with Elizabeth, while Sophia remained on her blanket on the floor next to them, sleeping every so often. During this time they had alone, Karen would always tell Elizabeth about how she should treat her little sister and to watch out for her as they got older.
Very often, Katherine came over to the house when Grace let her go home early. She would bring some tea for herself and Karen and they would sit in either one of the little girl's rocking bench and watch Elizabeth play with her sister.
One day in the middle of February, the tenth, Karen went to Grace's office to pick her sister up for lunch.
When they were in the limo, Katherine surprised Karen by telling her they were going to meet Jack somewhere.
"But Kath, this is supposed to be our sister's lunch we do every month," Karen said. "Not that I mind Jackie eating with us or anything."
"I invited him Kare," Katherine said, smiling. "And we can always have our lunch another day this month."
"Thank you Kath," Karen said, smiling back at her sister and then kissing her cheek.
At the restaurant, a little Korean place across the street from Central Park, Jack was already sitting at a table towards the back. When he saw Karen walk in, he called her name so she saw him.
"Hi poodle," Karen said, kissing his cheek.
"Hey, you're not mad I came are you?" Jack asked as he helped Karen into her seat.
"Of course not honey," Karen said. "Now, why are we eating here?"
"They have the best Korean food in the city," Katherine replied as a waiter handed them some menus.
"Okay, but if I don't like it you're paying for the lunch," Karen said, rolling her eyes. "Deal?"
"Deal," Katherine said, nodding her head.
Much to Karen and Jack's surprise, they both enjoyed their meals immensely. And before they left, they insisted on paying for it even though Katherine was going to do so even though they had liked the food.
When they were outside, Katherine said to her sister and brother in law, "I don't have to go back to the office, so I think I'm going to walk in the park until Amber and Patrick are out from school."
"You be careful on the snow," Karen said as she hugged Katherine.
"Yes mom," Katherine said saucily. "I'll call you tonight Kare. Bye Jackie-boy." With that she left them and crossed the street to Central Park. She started down a path and then pulled a pageboy cap from her purse. She put it on her head, tucking it as far down as it would go over her ears. She walked briskly for ten minutes, taking deep breaths even though the air was icy cold. A gust of wind suddenly blew from behind her and her cap flew off her head.
Katherine cried out in dismay and then ran after the cap, which was rolling on down the path. It stopped at the leg of a man sitting on a bench and Katherine hurried over to him. She looked at the man, and realized that she recognized the green eyes and honey colored hair. "Chris!" she said in surprise.
"Hi Katherine," he said, reaching down and picking up the cap at his feet. He stood up and walked over to her. "I guess this is yours," he said, handing her the hat.
"Yes, thank you so much," Katherine said, smiling. "So, what are you doing out here?"
"Nothing much," Christopher answered. "I'm off for the rest of the month, and I thought I would come down here for the day, I've been doing a little reading."
"Well, would you want to walk with me for a bit?" Katherine asked. "I'm free the rest of the day and I'm walking around till I need to pick up my children from school."
"I'd love to," Christopher said with a smile. He picked up a book from the bench and then turned to Katherine. "Let's go."
"Do you mind if I ask what book you're reading?" Katherine asked, curiosity taking over.
"Not at all," Christopher said. He handed the book over to her and then tightened his scarf around his neck.
"'The Crimson Petal and the White,'" Katherine read. "It sounds interesting."
"It is," Christopher assured her. "Do you enjoy reading at all?"
Katherine giggled a little and said, "You should see my library at home. I've at least a thousand books. In fact, I'm pretty sure I have this one on a shelf in there." While Christopher laughed, Katherine studied him and found that she was pleased with his looks.
Christopher glanced over at her then and was surprised to find that Katherine was staring at him.
With a slight cough, Katherine turned her head, feeling a light blush crawl onto her cheeks. "Umm...how, how are you enjoying the weather lately?" she said lamely, trying to ignore the fact that he had caught her checking him out.
Laughing, Christopher said, "My mother told me that the British always talk about at least three things in a conversation. And one of those is the weather."
"Very true," Katherine said, joining his laughter. "My husband-" She stopped short there, her mind suddenly turning to Edward. What would he think of her, checking out another man? 'He probably does the same when he sees another pretty woman,' Katherine said in her mind. But a nagging voice in the back kept bothering her about admitting that she was attracted to Christopher. "Never mind," she said out loud quickly.
"I'm sorry," Christopher said.
"No, nothing you need to be sorry about," Katherine said waving her hand. "I just got sidetracked."
"Oh, well to answer your question..."
The two of them walked through the park for another hour and then they sat at a bench at an iced over pond where people were skating. They stayed there for another hour until Katherine looked at her watch and realized that it was time for her to pick up her children.
"Well, this has been a lot of fun," Christopher said as he walked with her out of the park.
"Yes, we should really try to meet again in the future," Katherine said.
"What about on Friday?" Christopher asked. "At that café over there for lunch?" he said, pointing across the street.
"I'll meet you there at twelve," Katherine said. "Goodbye Chris." She kissed him on the cheek and then hurried across the street, not aware that he was watching her go with a lustful and loving look in his eyes.
~~~
That Friday, the fourteenth and Valentine's Day, Jack and Karen were leaving their penthouse when Karen's cell phone rang.
"Karen McFarland," Karen replied when she answered the phone.
"Hi Karen," Edward said at the other end. "I was wondering, could you go to a café near Central Park and see if Katherine's there?"
"Why?" Karen asked, surprised at his request.
"Well, I was supposed to meet her at 'LeBeau' for lunch with her and a friend," Edward explained. "But I can't make it. I tried calling her cell phone, but she left it at Grace's office."
"Okay Eddie," Karen said as she and Jack walked out of the elevator and to the lobby. "I'll tell her." When she hung up the phone, she turned to Jack and explained what Edward had just told her.
"So should we just eat lunch somewhere around that café?" Jack asked as they got into the back of the limo.
"Sure," Karen said as the limo drove away from the curb.
When they got to the café, they were both surprised to see who it was Katherine was eating with.
"Umm, Kath?" Karen said when she reached the table her sister and Christopher were sitting at.
"Oh, Kare, what are you doing here?" Katherine asked, surprised to see her sister.
"I got a call from- your husband and he told me he can't meet you for lunch," Karen said, glancing at Christopher.
"Oh, what a shame," Katherine said. "I wanted him to meet you outside of the hospital Chris."
"That's okay Katherine," Christopher said. "Why don't you guys join us then?"
Jack nodded before Karen could say no and then held out a chair for his wife to sit down in.
All through the lunch, Karen kept a sharp eye on her sister and Christopher, trying to see what their relationship was at this point. While she didn't see anything too suspicious, she realized that the both of them seemed to be attracted to each other.
When they had paid and left the little café, Katherine was only allowed to say a quick goodbye to Christopher before her sister dragged her over to the limo. "What are you doing Kare?" she asked as she got into the backseat.
"What the hell is going on between you and that guy?" Karen asked.
"His name is Chris- Christopher," Katherine said, correcting herself. "And we were just having lunch."
"Are you in love with him?" Karen asked bluntly.
"Oh my god, no!" Katherine said, sounding a little angrily.
"Are you attracted to him?" Karen then asked.
Closing her eyes, Katherine thought for a moment before saying, "I'm not married to you Kare-"
"Good thing too, 'cause that's against the law," Jack quipped.
"And who I eat lunch with is my own concern," Katherine said, ignoring him. "I'm not cheating on my husband Kare, don't worry."
The limo stopped in front of the Puck building just then and Katherine got out, saying a quick goodbye to the two.
"She likes him," Karen said as the limo continued to their penthouse.
"Kare, they're probably just becoming friends," Jack said, sitting next to her and putting an arm around her shoulder. "Come on, today's Valentine's Day, we're going to have fun tonight, so don't worry about Kat and that guy okay?"
Karen couldn't help it, but she smiled and leaned against Jack. "Alright, but I'm still think-" she started to say when Jack silenced her with a deep, passionate kiss.
They kept kissing in the limo until they returned to their penthouse, anxiously waiting for that night when they could be alone.
~~~
Jack made sure for the thousandth time that night that Karen's present from him was in the drawer in his nightstand. He sat down on the edge of the bed; waiting for her to come back from putting their daughter's to sleep.
Walking through the doorway, Karen was surprised to see that a bouquet of roses was on the bed next to Jack. "Are those for me?" she asked as she closed the door behind her and locked it.
"Do you know anyone else in this place that deserves them as much as you Kare?" Jack asked as she walked to him.
"These are incredible Jackie," Karen said as she picked up the bouquet. "They smell good too," she said as she sniffed one of the twelve lavender/silver roses. "Thank you honey."
"That's not your only gift thought," Jack said, grinning. He got up off the bed and went to the nightstand, getting her present out. He went back to Karen and gave the little box to her.
"I wonder what this is," Karen said as she opened the little jewelry box. She smiled at the ring inside and looked at her husband. "It's beautiful."
"I thought you would like this ring," Jack said, taking the box from her and pulling out the silver ring that had a large diamond surrounded on both sides with black pearls. He slipped it onto her right ring finger and laced his fingers with hers. "I love you," he whispered, kissing her lips softly.
"I love you too poodle," Karen said. She admired the ring before saying, "Time for yours Jackie." She knelt down and then pulled a gift from under the bed.
"Huh, I never thought to look there," Jack said as he started to unwrap it. He revealed the book inside and then his mouth dropped open in shock. "Kare?" he asked in surprise.
"Well, you said for me to get one of these later a year ago, and I did," Karen said, suppressing the urge to laugh.
"Oh, yeah...I remember now," Jack said. He sat down on the bed, Karen next to him, and he took the rest of the wrapping paper off the book. "Umm, should we just look through it now?"
"Yep," Karen said, leaning her head on his shoulder.
Jack opened the first page of the book, which was about different kinds of positions for couples to try during sex, and felt himself blush deeply. "That's... interesting," he said, glancing at Karen.
Karen giggled and then turned the page for him.
They went through about half of the book until they came upon one page that made them both tilt their heads to the side.
"Oh, no way," Jack said, incredulously. "You gotta be double jointed or something to do that."
Laughing, Karen took the book out of his hands and said, "I guess I should return this, or get Rosie to at least."
"Yeah, because I don't want one of us getting hurt trying one of those moves," Jack said, shaking his head, his cheeks still red.
"Let me get your other present then," Karen said, getting up and walking over to her dresser. She put the book on top of it and then took another present out of the middle drawer. "I bought this because I had a feeling you wouldn't like the book."
"Sorry about that Kare," Jack said as he took the little box from her. He opened it and then took the watch that was inside. "Wow, this is great." He turned the watch over and was surprised to see etched there: J.P.M. & K.A.M. He smiled and then turned to Karen, kissing her deeply. "I love it," he said.
"Good," Karen said. "Come on Jackie," she said, grabbing a hold of the front of his shirt and pulling his gently as she climbed up onto the bed.
Jack followed her, pausing very briefly to pull one of the roses from the bouquet before he pushed it off the bed. When he and Karen stopped in the middle of the bed, he sat on his knees and put the lavender silvery rose behind her ear.
Karen smiled at him and then reached out, unbuttoning his shirt.
That set the two off and they quickly undressed each other, clothes literally flying off of their bodies.
When they were naked, Jack laid Karen back on the mattress and then he cupped both her breasts with his hands, running the thumbs over her nipple.
Karen moaned a little as Jack replaced his finger soon after with his mouth, sucking on her right breast. She then started to rake her fingers through his hair, arching her body every once in a while.
Suddenly, Jack got an idea and he got off the bed. "Hold on, I'm going to go get something," he said as she protested. He disappeared into the bathroom and came out a few minutes later.
When she saw what he was holding, Karen's eyes widened in surprise. It was her gauzy scarf that she had worn one time that he had attacked her neck playfully. "What-" she was about to say when he covered her mouth gently.
"I wanna try this," Jack said once he uncovered her mouth. "If you don't like it, I'll take it off." He then took Karen's arms, and holding them by the wrists held them above her head. He tied the wrists together lightly with the scarf and then he looked down at his wife.
"It's okay, I wanted to try this before too, but I was never sure if you'd want to do it," Karen said, smiling at him.
Jack nodded and then started down at her, she looked like she was giving her whole body and soul to him was how he felt.
"You've had me already Jackie," Karen softly, seeming to read his thoughts. "You know I'm yours."
Nodding his head, Jack lowered himself to her and entered her quickly.
Hissing a little, Karen tried to move her arms so she could put her arms around Jack, but she remembered her wrists were lightly bound. A little annoyed by that, she just laid back, the rose behind her ear brushing against the bare skin on her arm.
Closing his eyes tightly, Jack thrust in and out of Karen, going quickly as he started to build a rhythm. The smell of the rose shampoo from her hair and the scent of the rose in her hair were making him incredibly aroused and so he started pumping in and out of her, faster and faster. "Kare..." he said, panting as sweat broke out over his body. "You're so... beautiful."
"Oh god...Jackie," Karen groaned as he kept going more quickly in and out of her. "Fuck... you're... oh god!" She was surprised when she felt her body tense slightly and she climaxed around him. "Oh Jackie, JACK!" she screamed.
Breathing more and more harshly, Jack kept thrusting in and out of her quickly, not having reached his release yet. He started down at his wife, watching her intently as she appeared to become more aroused once again.
Karen forgot about the scarf around her wrists and brought her arms down past Jack's head so she was holding onto his neck with her arms. About ten minutes later, Jack still pumping in and out of her furiously, she closed her eyes tightly and let her body arch up to him as she climaxed once again, yelling his name.
Jack groaned as he achieved his release the same time as Karen, and he wrapped his arms underneath her, lifting her up with him as he sat up. "Kare... I love you Kare," he moaned. He finally dug his fingertips into her back as their second orgasms hit the both of them and he yelled, "Oh Jesus, KARE!"
Slumped against Jack's body after having screamed out his name again, Karen moved her arms around until she felt the scarf fall from her wrists.
"You okay?" Jack asked her as she got off of him.
"I'm fine, that was wonderful Jackie," Karen said, smiling deeply at him. "Come here."
Jack smiled back and quickly went up to where she was lying on her pillow. "You are the most gorgeous woman in the world," he said before he went down, sucking on her breast.
Smiling, Karen sighed in satisfaction as Jack entered her once again and she pulled his head up to hers so they could kiss.
They made love again, but this time it was slower and they took their time, running their hands all over each other's bodies.
Karen was the first the reach her edge and she swore a few times as Jack sucked on her breasts and bit them lightly at that same moment.
When Jack achieve his release, he forgot what he was doing and bit down on the top of her right breast a little too hard. "Oh no," he said a few minutes later when he had recovered from his orgasm.
"What, what's wrong?" Karen asked, lifting her head. She was surprised to see a bite on her chest that was bleeding a little.
"I'm sorry Kare," Jack said, he lifted his body up to go to the restroom when Karen stopped him.
"It's okay poodle," she said, forcefully, pushing him back down on her. She put her had on the back of his head, and led his lips to where the bite was.
"Kare..." Jack said hesitatingly, know what she wanted him to do.
"Do it Jackie," Karen said a little vehemently.
Jack opened his mouth to say something, but then he shook his head. He leaned down to the bite and flicked his tongue out a little, getting the blood on his tongue. He did this twice more before getting up and going to the bathroom.
Karen smiled and got off the bed as well. She went to the bathroom and lay back on the chez lounge, waiting for Jack to come out.
"Why did you make me do that?" Jack asked as he sat down next to Karen.
"I don't know, I thought it was kind of erotic," she said as he started to clean the bite with rubbing alcohol. She then reached out and stroked Jack's member until it was erect again.
Trembling a little, Jack put a band-aid over the bite and then said powerfully," I wanna fuck you right here, right now."
Smirking, Karen spread her legs a little and said, "I'm ready for you honey."
Jack lowered her body to hers and then teased her entrance with his member for a few moments before entering her slowly. Once her body had accompanied him, he started to thrust in and out of her, kissing her breasts and then chest.
A long while later, Karen clutched at the edge of the chez as she climaxed around Jack's member, crying out his name and writhing slightly.
When Karen yelled out, "Fuck!" very loudly, Jack achieved his release and his climaxed deeply inside of her, moaning her name out loud.
~~~
A few hours later, after taking a bath together and making love several times there, Jack and Karen were laying in their bed, side by side.
"Where did you get these, poodle?" Karen asked as she removed the rose from behind her ear; amazingly it hadn't moved from there all night.
"A flower shop near the theater," Jack said, putting his arm underneath her body. He pulled her close to him; he kissed her temple gently and covered her hand that was holding the rose with his own. "I wasn't sure you were going to like the color."
"It's so pretty poodle," Karen said, turning to him. "I love them."
Jack turned to her and kissed her deeply for a long time. When they pulled apart, he reached down and pulled the comforter over them. "We should get some rest," he said.
Karen kissed his jaw a few times and then snuggled on top of his chest. "Good night poodle, sweet dreams," she said.
"Night Karebear," Jack said, kissing her temple again and then closing his eyes.
As she fell asleep, Karen felt Jack's hand caress her waist and thigh and she kissed his chest gently, smiling at the feeling of being so happy and in love with her husband.

Chapter Fifty
Those Sweet Words
In mid January, Karen and Jack were relaxing on their bed, Elizabeth and Sophia in between them as they napped.
"Kare," Jack said quietly. "I got a phone call from Zach yesterday."
"Oh yeah?" Karen asked, turning on her side and looking over at him. "What did he want?"
"He's going to be directing 'Chicago' again," Jack said, looking at her. "He wants me to play Billy Flynn again."
"Why the long face poodle?" Karen asked teasingly.
"Well, he wants to start rehearsing as soon as February starts," Jack said. "I don't want to leave you here with the girls by yourself all day."
Karen was quiet as she thought over what Jack had told her. "Do you want to be in the play again Jackie?" she asked.
"I'd love to, but I don't want-" Jack started to say.
"Hold on Jackie," Karen said. "I don't mind if you go. I'm sure you'd rather spend your day at the theater then with two babies and me."
"No way," Jack said, looking at her. "I'll call Zach and tell him I'm not interested."
Karen was about to protest his decision, when Sophia woke up and started to cry for a little bit.
~~~
Later that evening, just before dinner, Karen left the penthouse, telling Jack she was going to Grace's apartment to discuss something with her.
Jack had been a little surprised, but he let her leave without prying into why she had to go see Grace instead of just talking to her on the phone. After he had kissed Karen goodbye and closed the front door, he went up to Elizabeth's room so he could play with her and Sophia.
"Hey Rosie, you can go downstairs," he said as he entered the bedroom. "I'll watch them until Karen comes back."
"Okay Mister Jack," Rosario said, picking up her knitting and leaving the room.
Walking over to the little bassinet where Sophia was laying, Jack picked her up and rested her head on his shoulder. "It's just you girls and me until your mom comes back," he said looking at Elizabeth who was playing in her crib. He kissed the top of Sophia's head and then walked over to the window seat, sitting down.
Meanwhile, after Karen had left the penthouse, Karen met up with Katherine in the lobby. "Glad you're coming," she said, taking her sister's arm and pulling her out to the street.
"I don't see why I need to," Katherine said as they got into the back of the limo.
"I wanted company going over to Will's," Karen said, smiling at her.
When they got to Riverside Drive and went up to the ninth floor, Katherine knocked on the door to Will's apartment.
"Kat, Karen, what are you guys doing here?" Will asked when he opened the door for them. "Come inside," he then said, letting them in.
"Is Zach here?" Karen asked as Will closed the door behind him. "I want to talk with home about something."
"I'm right here, hello Karen, Katherine," Zach said, coming in from the terrace. "I just got a phone call from Jack; he turned down the role I offered him."
"That's what I want to talk to you about," Karen said as she sat down on the couch with Katherine. "He wants to be in the play, but he says he doesn't want to leave me with our girls by myself during the day. And of course he wants to spend time with them."
"Well, I'm not sure what I can do to have him agree to join the play," Zach said, scratching his head. "If he doesn't want to then-"
"What times were you planning on making the rehearsals?" Katherine suddenly asked. She had a feeling of what her sister was going to try and do.
"Oh, well, most likely I'll have them run from ten to twelve, a break for lunch," Zach answered after thinking for a moment. "And then from two to five."
"What if Jack came to the second part of rehearsals?" Karen suggested. "I mean, he's played this part before, so he's got to be able to remember most of the dances and the lines."
"Well, I suppose I could," Zach said. He sat down in the armchair next to the couch and said, "But I'll have to think about how I can make that work out."
"Do you really want Jack to be Billy Flynn?" Will asked, sitting on the arm of the chair Zach was sitting in.
"Yes, I do," Zach said, smiling up at his boyfriend. "You all saw him when I last did this play and you read the reviews. He's perfect for the role."
The apartment was quiet for a few moments while Zach appeared to think intently.
"Okay, my mind's made up," he said finally. "If Jack agrees to the schedule of rehearsing from two to five on weekdays, then he's in."
"Perfect," Karen said smiling. "Thank you Zach, I really appreciate you doing this. But I better not hear you flirting with him, he's MY poodle," she then said, shaking her finger at him.
"Umm, I won't Karen," Zach responded, looking over at Will.
"Come on Kath, we should head back before Jackie wonders what I'm doing out for so long," Karen said, getting up from the sofa. "Oh, and Zach, will you call Jack and tell him about we agreed on?"
"Sure," Zach said as he and Will followed the two women over to the door. "Do you want me to mention your part in this?"
"No honey, let Jackie figure it out on his own," Karen said as they walked out. "Bye."
~~~
Later that night, Karen was taking a bath and Jack was coming up the stairs from getting a glass of water. He walked into their bedroom and settled on the bed when the phone rang.
"I've got it," Jack yelled to Karen even though he knew she couldn't answer it. "McFarland residence," he answered.
"Hi Jack," the person on the other end said.
"Hey Zach, what's going on?" Jack asked absentmindedly, looking at a book on his nightstand.
"Well, I've been thinking about what you said to me earlier about playing Billy Flynn," Zach began. "And I think that maybe the hours of rehearsal aren't appealing to you."
"They weren't appealing to me," Jack said. "I turned down the play, remember?"
"Wait a minute Jack, hear me out," Zach said quickly. "I was thinking that maybe this has to do with the fact that you have two baby girls and want to spend more time with them and your wife. So, I've decided that if you'll play Bill Flynn, I'll only have you come in from two to five in the afternoon to rehearse."
"Are you serious?" Jack asked, completely surprised.
"Yeah, and I'm sure you don't really need to rehearse as much as the other actors," Zach said. "You've played this character before so I doubt you'll need to put in as much time."
Jack was quiet for a minute, taking in this news; he realized something and then told Zach his answer. "Okay, I'll do it Zach," he said with a small grin on his face.
"Great, now rehearsals start in February like I told you earlier," Zach said happily. "I'll call you then to tell you which day exactly. Thanks so much for joining Jack."
"Thanks for changing my hours and everything," Jack responded. He said goodnight to Zach and then he hung up the phone, marveling at his good luck. Smiling, he got off of the bed and went into the bathroom to talk with Karen.
Relaxing in the tub, Karen had heard Jack's half of the conversation and was pleased that he had taken the role. While she wanted Jack to stay all day, she felt that he needed some outside activities so he wouldn't grow bored with her or their daughters. "Who was that Jackie?" she asked when he came into the bathroom.
"Zach, he offered me the part again," Jack said, sitting on the edge of the tub. "And he's says I'll only need to rehearse three hours a day."
"Did you accept?" Karen asked, already knowing the answer.
"Yep," Jack said. He turned to her and then said, "I have a feeling that you asked him to do that."
"You're too smart poodle," Karen said, with a smile on her face.
"Why?" Jack asked seriously.
"Well, I know how much you love to act, so I thought you should go back now, then wait until I go back to work too," Karen said.
"Will you be okay taking care of Ebie and Sophie while I rehearse?" Jack then asked.
"Of course honey, it's only for three hours on weekdays," Karen said soothingly. "I'll be fine."
Jack smiled and then leaned over to kiss her deeply. When they pulled apart he said, "Thank you so much Kare."
"You're welcome Jackie," Karen responded. She got up then and started to step out of the tub. "Hand me that towel right there." When he handed her the towel, she dried herself off and then wrapped it around her body.
Just as Karen was about to go to her closet, Jack reached out and grabbed her arm. "I don't think you'll need to get your pajamas on tonight Kare," his voice a little husky.
Karen smiled as Jack led her out to the bedroom and over to the bed. She let him push her back on the mattress gently and then she reached up to him. "Come here poodle, let me kiss you," she said, pulling his lips to hers.
When they separated so they could breathe, Jack said breathlessly, "I want to show you how thankful I am Kare."
"Oh?" Karen asked, surprised. "Well, go ahead Jackie."
Jack smiled and reached down pulling the towel apart so her body was visible to him. "It's like opening the best Christmas present in the world," he said, a smile on his face. While Karen giggled, he immediately descended on her body, placing quick, small kisses over every inch of her skin.
Sighing, Karen put her hands up on the pillow next to her face. She felt herself growing more aroused with each kiss Jack gave her, but she wouldn't stop him for all the money in the world.
"God Kare," Jack murmured as he gently spread her legs apart. "I worship you." Not waiting for a reaction from her, he descended on her, pleasuring her with his mouth and tongue.
Moaning, Karen's hands clenched into fists of their own will. She lifted her head up enough and watched Jack as he inflicted the most delicious of tortures on her body. After a while, she lay her head back down and then cried out incoherently as she reached her peak.
Pulling away from Karen's lower body, Jack sat up on his knees and then removed the towel from underneath her. He waited a few moments until he was sure she had recovered from his little pleasuring session. Then he brought his lips to hers and kissed her ardently for a long time.
Giving out a little moan, Karen pulled away from the kiss as she felt Jack's body press down on her own. "Jackie," she whispered.
"Huh?" Jack replied, glancing up at her from where he had been kissing her neck. He stared into her eyes for a few minutes before smiling. He then sat up on his knees again and unbuttoned his shirt before pulling it off. With Karen's help, they took off his trousers and then his boxers. When he was naked, he got on top of her and lowered his body down. "Love you," he mumbled as he entered her slowly.
"Ohh, love you," Karen responded, wrapping her arms around Jack's neck.
Jack smiled and started to thrust in and out of her, keeping his eyes open so he could watch her while they made love.
At some point, Karen opened her eyes and looked up at Jack, giving a little gasp that was mixed in with a moan. "Oh Jackie...Jack," she whispered. She then pulled his face to hers and they kissed passionately. After a while, she pulled away and gave a long, husky moan as she climaxed around him.
Breathing harshly, Jack kissed Karen's bottom lip and then felt his body shudder. He then buried his face into her hair which was loose on the pillow. He groaned out Karen's name as he climaxed at the same time she did.
While Jack was catching his breath, Karen ran her fingers through his slightly damp hair and then kissed the top of his head.
"I want you to sleep on top of me tonight Kare," Jack said. Before waiting for a response from his wife, he flipped back on the mattress, bringing Karen with him.
"Mmm, this is nice," Karen said and said rested her cheek next to Jack's. "Good night my sweet poodle," she then said after yawning a little. "I love you."
Jack kissed Karen deeply for a few minutes before putting his arms around her back and saying, "Night Kare, love you."
~~~
Once the rehearsals for 'Chicago' began, Jack was surprised to find that he was very pleased to return to the theater and to a character that he remembered well. He still missed Karen and their daughters though, and he was always hesitant about leaving them in the afternoons. He had found though that the best part of the day was when he came home after rehearsal and he kissed Karen hello before they went upstairs so he could wake up the girls from their naps.
Karen herself realized that she enjoyed being alone with her daughters while Jack was at the theater. She usually played with Elizabeth, while Sophia remained on her blanket on the floor next to them, sleeping every so often. During this time they had alone, Karen would always tell Elizabeth about how she should treat her little sister and to watch out for her as they got older.
Very often, Katherine came over to the house when Grace let her go home early. She would bring some tea for herself and Karen and they would sit in either one of the little girl's rocking bench and watch Elizabeth play with her sister.
One day in the middle of February, the tenth, Karen went to Grace's office to pick her sister up for lunch.
When they were in the limo, Katherine surprised Karen by telling her they were going to meet Jack somewhere.
"But Kath, this is supposed to be our sister's lunch we do every month," Karen said. "Not that I mind Jackie eating with us or anything."
"I invited him Kare," Katherine said, smiling. "And we can always have our lunch another day this month."
"Thank you Kath," Karen said, smiling back at her sister and then kissing her cheek.
At the restaurant, a little Korean place across the street from Central Park, Jack was already sitting at a table towards the back. When he saw Karen walk in, he called her name so she saw him.
"Hi poodle," Karen said, kissing his cheek.
"Hey, you're not mad I came are you?" Jack asked as he helped Karen into her seat.
"Of course not honey," Karen said. "Now, why are we eating here?"
"They have the best Korean food in the city," Katherine replied as a waiter handed them some menus.
"Okay, but if I don't like it you're paying for the lunch," Karen said, rolling her eyes. "Deal?"
"Deal," Katherine said, nodding her head.
Much to Karen and Jack's surprise, they both enjoyed their meals immensely. And before they left, they insisted on paying for it even though Katherine was going to do so even though they had liked the food.
When they were outside, Katherine said to her sister and brother in law, "I don't have to go back to the office, so I think I'm going to walk in the park until Amber and Patrick are out from school."
"You be careful on the snow," Karen said as she hugged Katherine.
"Yes mom," Katherine said saucily. "I'll call you tonight Kare. Bye Jackie-boy." With that she left them and crossed the street to Central Park. She started down a path and then pulled a pageboy cap from her purse. She put it on her head, tucking it as far down as it would go over her ears. She walked briskly for ten minutes, taking deep breaths even though the air was icy cold. A gust of wind suddenly blew from behind her and her cap flew off her head.
Katherine cried out in dismay and then ran after the cap, which was rolling on down the path. It stopped at the leg of a man sitting on a bench and Katherine hurried over to him. She looked at the man, and realized that she recognized the green eyes and honey colored hair. "Chris!" she said in surprise.
"Hi Katherine," he said, reaching down and picking up the cap at his feet. He stood up and walked over to her. "I guess this is yours," he said, handing her the hat.
"Yes, thank you so much," Katherine said, smiling. "So, what are you doing out here?"
"Nothing much," Christopher answered. "I'm off for the rest of the month, and I thought I would come down here for the day, I've been doing a little reading."
"Well, would you want to walk with me for a bit?" Katherine asked. "I'm free the rest of the day and I'm walking around till I need to pick up my children from school."
"I'd love to," Christopher said with a smile. He picked up a book from the bench and then turned to Katherine. "Let's go."
"Do you mind if I ask what book you're reading?" Katherine asked, curiosity taking over.
"Not at all," Christopher said. He handed the book over to her and then tightened his scarf around his neck.
"'The Crimson Petal and the White,'" Katherine read. "It sounds interesting."
"It is," Christopher assured her. "Do you enjoy reading at all?"
Katherine giggled a little and said, "You should see my library at home. I've at least a thousand books. In fact, I'm pretty sure I have this one on a shelf in there." While Christopher laughed, Katherine studied him and found that she was pleased with his looks.
Christopher glanced over at her then and was surprised to find that Katherine was staring at him.
With a slight cough, Katherine turned her head, feeling a light blush crawl onto her cheeks. "Umm...how, how are you enjoying the weather lately?" she said lamely, trying to ignore the fact that he had caught her checking him out.
Laughing, Christopher said, "My mother told me that the British always talk about at least three things in a conversation. And one of those is the weather."
"Very true," Katherine said, joining his laughter. "My husband-" She stopped short there, her mind suddenly turning to Edward. What would he think of her, checking out another man? 'He probably does the same when he sees another pretty woman,' Katherine said in her mind. But a nagging voice in the back kept bothering her about admitting that she was attracted to Christopher. "Never mind," she said out loud quickly.
"I'm sorry," Christopher said.
"No, nothing you need to be sorry about," Katherine said waving her hand. "I just got sidetracked."
"Oh, well to answer your question..."
The two of them walked through the park for another hour and then they sat at a bench at an iced over pond where people were skating. They stayed there for another hour until Katherine looked at her watch and realized that it was time for her to pick up her children.
"Well, this has been a lot of fun," Christopher said as he walked with her out of the park.
"Yes, we should really try to meet again in the future," Katherine said.
"What about on Friday?" Christopher asked. "At that café over there for lunch?" he said, pointing across the street.
"I'll meet you there at twelve," Katherine said. "Goodbye Chris." She kissed him on the cheek and then hurried across the street, not aware that he was watching her go with a lustful and loving look in his eyes.
~~~
That Friday, the fourteenth and Valentine's Day, Jack and Karen were leaving their penthouse when Karen's cell phone rang.
"Karen McFarland," Karen replied when she answered the phone.
"Hi Karen," Edward said at the other end. "I was wondering, could you go to a café near Central Park and see if Katherine's there?"
"Why?" Karen asked, surprised at his request.
"Well, I was supposed to meet her at 'LeBeau' for lunch with her and a friend," Edward explained. "But I can't make it. I tried calling her cell phone, but she left it at Grace's office."
"Okay Eddie," Karen said as she and Jack walked out of the elevator and to the lobby. "I'll tell her." When she hung up the phone, she turned to Jack and explained what Edward had just told her.
"So should we just eat lunch somewhere around that café?" Jack asked as they got into the back of the limo.
"Sure," Karen said as the limo drove away from the curb.
When they got to the café, they were both surprised to see who it was Katherine was eating with.
"Umm, Kath?" Karen said when she reached the table her sister and Christopher were sitting at.
"Oh, Kare, what are you doing here?" Katherine asked, surprised to see her sister.
"I got a call from- your husband and he told me he can't meet you for lunch," Karen said, glancing at Christopher.
"Oh, what a shame," Katherine said. "I wanted him to meet you outside of the hospital Chris."
"That's okay Katherine," Christopher said. "Why don't you guys join us then?"
Jack nodded before Karen could say no and then held out a chair for his wife to sit down in.
All through the lunch, Karen kept a sharp eye on her sister and Christopher, trying to see what their relationship was at this point. While she didn't see anything too suspicious, she realized that the both of them seemed to be attracted to each other.
When they had paid and left the little café, Katherine was only allowed to say a quick goodbye to Christopher before her sister dragged her over to the limo. "What are you doing Kare?" she asked as she got into the backseat.
"What the hell is going on between you and that guy?" Karen asked.
"His name is Chris- Christopher," Katherine said, correcting herself. "And we were just having lunch."
"Are you in love with him?" Karen asked bluntly.
"Oh my god, no!" Katherine said, sounding a little angrily.
"Are you attracted to him?" Karen then asked.
Closing her eyes, Katherine thought for a moment before saying, "I'm not married to you Kare-"
"Good thing too, 'cause that's against the law," Jack quipped.
"And who I eat lunch with is my own concern," Katherine said, ignoring him. "I'm not cheating on my husband Kare, don't worry."
The limo stopped in front of the Puck building just then and Katherine got out, saying a quick goodbye to the two.
"She likes him," Karen said as the limo continued to their penthouse.
"Kare, they're probably just becoming friends," Jack said, sitting next to her and putting an arm around her shoulder. "Come on, today's Valentine's Day, we're going to have fun tonight, so don't worry about Kat and that guy okay?"
Karen couldn't help it, but she smiled and leaned against Jack. "Alright, but I'm still think-" she started to say when Jack silenced her with a deep, passionate kiss.
They kept kissing in the limo until they returned to their penthouse, anxiously waiting for that night when they could be alone.
~~~
Jack made sure for the thousandth time that night that Karen's present from him was in the drawer in his nightstand. He sat down on the edge of the bed; waiting for her to come back from putting their daughter's to sleep.
Walking through the doorway, Karen was surprised to see that a bouquet of roses was on the bed next to Jack. "Are those for me?" she asked as she closed the door behind her and locked it.
"Do you know anyone else in this place that deserves them as much as you Kare?" Jack asked as she walked to him.
"These are incredible Jackie," Karen said as she picked up the bouquet. "They smell good too," she said as she sniffed one of the twelve lavender/silver roses. "Thank you honey."
"That's not your only gift thought," Jack said, grinning. He got up off the bed and went to the nightstand, getting her present out. He went back to Karen and gave the little box to her.
"I wonder what this is," Karen said as she opened the little jewelry box. She smiled at the ring inside and looked at her husband. "It's beautiful."
"I thought you would like this ring," Jack said, taking the box from her and pulling out the silver ring that had a large diamond surrounded on both sides with black pearls. He slipped it onto her right ring finger and laced his fingers with hers. "I love you," he whispered, kissing her lips softly.
"I love you too poodle," Karen said. She admired the ring before saying, "Time for yours Jackie." She knelt down and then pulled a gift from under the bed.
"Huh, I never thought to look there," Jack said as he started to unwrap it. He revealed the book inside and then his mouth dropped open in shock. "Kare?" he asked in surprise.
"Well, you said for me to get one of these later a year ago, and I did," Karen said, suppressing the urge to laugh.
"Oh, yeah...I remember now," Jack said. He sat down on the bed, Karen next to him, and he took the rest of the wrapping paper off the book. "Umm, should we just look through it now?"
"Yep," Karen said, leaning her head on his shoulder.
Jack opened the first page of the book, which was about different kinds of positions for couples to try during sex, and felt himself blush deeply. "That's... interesting," he said, glancing at Karen.
Karen giggled and then turned the page for him.
They went through about half of the book until they came upon one page that made them both tilt their heads to the side.
"Oh, no way," Jack said, incredulously. "You gotta be double jointed or something to do that."
Laughing, Karen took the book out of his hands and said, "I guess I should return this, or get Rosie to at least."
"Yeah, because I don't want one of us getting hurt trying one of those moves," Jack said, shaking his head, his cheeks still red.
"Let me get your other present then," Karen said, getting up and walking over to her dresser. She put the book on top of it and then took another present out of the middle drawer. "I bought this because I had a feeling you wouldn't like the book."
"Sorry about that Kare," Jack said as he took the little box from her. He opened it and then took the watch that was inside. "Wow, this is great." He turned the watch over and was surprised to see etched there: J.P.M. & K.A.M. He smiled and then turned to Karen, kissing her deeply. "I love it," he said.
"Good," Karen said. "Come on Jackie," she said, grabbing a hold of the front of his shirt and pulling his gently as she climbed up onto the bed.
Jack followed her, pausing very briefly to pull one of the roses from the bouquet before he pushed it off the bed. When he and Karen stopped in the middle of the bed, he sat on his knees and put the lavender silvery rose behind her ear.
Karen smiled at him and then reached out, unbuttoning his shirt.
That set the two off and they quickly undressed each other, clothes literally flying off of their bodies.
When they were naked, Jack laid Karen back on the mattress and then he cupped both her breasts with his hands, running the thumbs over her nipple.
Karen moaned a little as Jack replaced his finger soon after with his mouth, sucking on her right breast. She then started to rake her fingers through his hair, arching her body every once in a while.
Suddenly, Jack got an idea and he got off the bed. "Hold on, I'm going to go get something," he said as she protested. He disappeared into the bathroom and came out a few minutes later.
When she saw what he was holding, Karen's eyes widened in surprise. It was her gauzy scarf that she had worn one time that he had attacked her neck playfully. "What-" she was about to say when he covered her mouth gently.
"I wanna try this," Jack said once he uncovered her mouth. "If you don't like it, I'll take it off." He then took Karen's arms, and holding them by the wrists held them above her head. He tied the wrists together lightly with the scarf and then he looked down at his wife.
"It's okay, I wanted to try this before too, but I was never sure if you'd want to do it," Karen said, smiling at him.
Jack nodded and then started down at her, she looked like she was giving her whole body and soul to him was how he felt.
"You've had me already Jackie," Karen softly, seeming to read his thoughts. "You know I'm yours."
Nodding his head, Jack lowered himself to her and entered her quickly.
Hissing a little, Karen tried to move her arms so she could put her arms around Jack, but she remembered her wrists were lightly bound. A little annoyed by that, she just laid back, the rose behind her ear brushing against the bare skin on her arm.
Closing his eyes tightly, Jack thrust in and out of Karen, going quickly as he started to build a rhythm. The smell of the rose shampoo from her hair and the scent of the rose in her hair were making him incredibly aroused and so he started pumping in and out of her, faster and faster. "Kare..." he said, panting as sweat broke out over his body. "You're so... beautiful."
"Oh god...Jackie," Karen groaned as he kept going more quickly in and out of her. "Fuck... you're... oh god!" She was surprised when she felt her body tense slightly and she climaxed around him. "Oh Jackie, JACK!" she screamed.
Breathing more and more harshly, Jack kept thrusting in and out of her quickly, not having reached his release yet. He started down at his wife, watching her intently as she appeared to become more aroused once again.
Karen forgot about the scarf around her wrists and brought her arms down past Jack's head so she was holding onto his neck with her arms. About ten minutes later, Jack still pumping in and out of her furiously, she closed her eyes tightly and let her body arch up to him as she climaxed once again, yelling his name.
Jack groaned as he achieved his release the same time as Karen, and he wrapped his arms underneath her, lifting her up with him as he sat up. "Kare... I love you Kare," he moaned. He finally dug his fingertips into her back as their second orgasms hit the both of them and he yelled, "Oh Jesus, KARE!"
Slumped against Jack's body after having screamed out his name again, Karen moved her arms around until she felt the scarf fall from her wrists.
"You okay?" Jack asked her as she got off of him.
"I'm fine, that was wonderful Jackie," Karen said, smiling deeply at him. "Come here."
Jack smiled back and quickly went up to where she was lying on her pillow. "You are the most gorgeous woman in the world," he said before he went down, sucking on her breast.
Smiling, Karen sighed in satisfaction as Jack entered her once again and she pulled his head up to hers so they could kiss.
They made love again, but this time it was slower and they took their time, running their hands all over each other's bodies.
Karen was the first the reach her edge and she swore a few times as Jack sucked on her breasts and bit them lightly at that same moment.
When Jack achieve his release, he forgot what he was doing and bit down on the top of her right breast a little too hard. "Oh no," he said a few minutes later when he had recovered from his orgasm.
"What, what's wrong?" Karen asked, lifting her head. She was surprised to see a bite on her chest that was bleeding a little.
"I'm sorry Kare," Jack said, he lifted his body up to go to the restroom when Karen stopped him.
"It's okay poodle," she said, forcefully, pushing him back down on her. She put her had on the back of his head, and led his lips to where the bite was.
"Kare..." Jack said hesitatingly, know what she wanted him to do.
"Do it Jackie," Karen said a little vehemently.
Jack opened his mouth to say something, but then he shook his head. He leaned down to the bite and flicked his tongue out a little, getting the blood on his tongue. He did this twice more before getting up and going to the bathroom.
Karen smiled and got off the bed as well. She went to the bathroom and lay back on the chez lounge, waiting for Jack to come out.
"Why did you make me do that?" Jack asked as he sat down next to Karen.
"I don't know, I thought it was kind of erotic," she said as he started to clean the bite with rubbing alcohol. She then reached out and stroked Jack's member until it was erect again.
Trembling a little, Jack put a band-aid over the bite and then said powerfully," I wanna fuck you right here, right now."
Smirking, Karen spread her legs a little and said, "I'm ready for you honey."
Jack lowered her body to hers and then teased her entrance with his member for a few moments before entering her slowly. Once her body had accompanied him, he started to thrust in and out of her, kissing her breasts and then chest.
A long while later, Karen clutched at the edge of the chez as she climaxed around Jack's member, crying out his name and writhing slightly.
When Karen yelled out, "Fuck!" very loudly, Jack achieved his release and his climaxed deeply inside of her, moaning her name out loud.
~~~
A few hours later, after taking a bath together and making love several times there, Jack and Karen were laying in their bed, side by side.
"Where did you get these, poodle?" Karen asked as she removed the rose from behind her ear; amazingly it hadn't moved from there all night.
"A flower shop near the theater," Jack said, putting his arm underneath her body. He pulled her close to him; he kissed her temple gently and covered her hand that was holding the rose with his own. "I wasn't sure you were going to like the color."
"It's so pretty poodle," Karen said, turning to him. "I love them."
Jack turned to her and kissed her deeply for a long time. When they pulled apart, he reached down and pulled the comforter over them. "We should get some rest," he said.
Karen kissed his jaw a few times and then snuggled on top of his chest. "Good night poodle, sweet dreams," she said.
"Night Karebear," Jack said, kissing her temple again and then closing his eyes.
As she fell asleep, Karen felt Jack's hand caress her waist and thigh and she kissed his chest gently, smiling at the feeling of being so happy and in love with her husband.
