Jack led Rose to his room. He leaned down and kissed her gently, but firmly. "I love you," he whispered. His voice was husky, and Rose shivered. She could hear his desire in his voice, and feel it in his kiss. Rose kissed him back, deepening it. Instinctively her arms wrapped themselves around Jack.

He reached behind her, pushing the door open. The room was empty. Rose pulled him closer to her. She stepped into the room. Jack quickly shut the door. He pressed Rose against him, the feel of her body sending a tingling sensation through him.

"Rose," he moaned into her mouth. She pulled away from the kiss. Rose stared into Jack's eyes. "Again Jack. Make love to me again." Her voice was thick with her own desire. Jack kissed her deeply.

"One second." He stepped across the room, locking the door. Pulling her into his arms once more, he began to kiss her again.

Cal sat in his suite, his plan playing itself out in his head. He smiled . Soon, he told himself. Soon. He glanced out the window and caught sight of a first class couple walking past. Cal thought happily that soon he and Rose would be like that.

Should already be like that, he thought irritably. And they would be, if it wasn't for him. That gutter rat had ruined everything. Cal comforted himself by thinking of the torment that he would face.

Cal's plan was a simple one. He knew Rose was with Jack, just as surely as he knew that he had to change that. The key was not to harm Rose, but Jack was fair game. Cal believed that if one thought the other was in some sort of danger, then they would comply with anything.

Jack held Rose tightly in his arms, breathing in the scent of her skin. He sighed with pleasure; nothing could take her from her while he held her. Rose snuggled closer to him. "I don't ever want to be away from you," she whispered.

Jack's heart swelled with love. He had never dreamed that she would really stay with him. He mentally kicked himself for allowing himself to believe that of Rose.

"Me neither," he said, kissing her hair. "You don't have to be, you know." "I'm nit sure if there's a way I can't." Rose's voice was dejected. "Rose, I won't let anything hurt you." Jack touched her face lightly. "I promise, I'll always protect you."

Rose's eyes filled with tears. "I love you so much Jack." "I love you too." Jack kissed her frantically. "That'd never gonna change," he whispered. "No matter what happens, I'll always love you." Rose held him tightly. "Me too."
