Martha had just arrived at the hospital to pick up Ric. She walked down the hall with a smile on her face. She'd just seen Jack's car out in the car park and she was excited about seeing him.
The kiss she'd shared with him in the early hours of that morning had been replaying over and over again in her mind since then. She couldn't seem to think about anything else except for Jack. Jack and those amazing hands, she thought.
She'd never experienced anything like what she had felt with Jack, and she couldn't wait until she got more.
His touch had sent tingles coursing throughout her body and his kisses were enough to take her breath away.
Martha stopped just as she reached the room that the three boys shared; she could hear them laughing. Martha wondered if Jack had told the guys that they were together. I guess I'll find out soon enough, she thought.
Martha walked into the room making her presence known. "Hey," she said. "How's everyone feeling?" she asked.
They all looked at her smiling. "We're all great," Tony replied.
Martha walked up and gave Ric a hug. "Are you ready to go?" she asked him.
"Yeah. But I want to stop in and see grandad before we leave," Ric told her.
Martha smiled and nodded. "Okay".
Martha looked over at Jack and gave him a small smile before looking away quickly.
"Okay, well I guess I should get you fellows home," Jack said to Tony and Lucas. "Yep, let's go," Tony answered.
Tony, Lucas and Ric left the room together; Martha and Jack followed behind them.
"Meet me down at the rocks at 2:00 o'clock," Jack whispered to her.
Martha guessed that he hadn't told anyone about them yet. She nodded at him. "Okay," she whispered back.
Martha and Ric then walked off in the direction of Alf's (he was staying in for another night) room, while Jack left for home with Tony and Lucas.
Jack walked along the beach; heading for the rocks. He looked at his watch; it was almost 2 pm. Good, I'm not late, he thought. He'd asked Martha earlier to meet up with him, and he didn't want to keep her waiting.
He'd been waiting for hours to see her; and when he had seen her at the hospital before; it had taken nearly all of his self-control to stop himself from touching her.
He looked up ahead and could see her sitting down; her hair blowing around in the wind. God, she's beautiful, he thought to himself.
She hadn't seen him yet because she had her back facing him. Jack crept up behind her; slowly and quietly. Just as he reached a hand down to grab her, he heard her voice.
"Don't do that," she said.
Jack laughed. "Do what?" he asked innocently.
"Try and scare me. And don't say you weren't, because I know you were going to," she replied while turning to look up at him.
Jack looked down at her. "How did you know I was there?" he questioned her.
She smiled. "I have eyes in the back of my head," she told him.
"Oh, well that explains it all then," Jack joked as he held out his hand to help her up.
Once Martha was standing; Jack pulled her into a tight embrace. "I missed you," he said in a low voice.
Martha looked up into his eyes smiling. "Me too".
Jack bent his head low and impressed a soft kiss on her lips. Her lips parted. The intrusion of his tongue into her mouth was so gentle and sweet.
They carried on like this for a few more minutes until they were breathless; they needed to pull away so they could get some air.
"Have you told anyone about us yet?" Martha asked.
Jack shook his head. "No. Why? Have you?" he replied.
"No. But I was thinking that maybe we shouldn't tell anyone just yet," she told him.
Jack took a step back from her; pulling his hand away from hers. He was shocked. "What? Why can't we tell anyone?" he questioned her.
Martha laughed at the shocked look on his face. She took his hand in hers again. "Hey, calm down. There's no need to get upset," she started. "What I mean is; maybe we should keep it to ourselves and see how long it takes for everyone to realise that we're together," she told him.
Jack let out a long sigh. "Geez, for a second there I thought you were gonna tell me that you'd changed your mind about us," he said. The shock had now worn off.
Martha reached up and gave him a quick kiss on the lips. "No way. I've got you now, and I'm never letting you go," she told him, smiling.
"Good," he said, giving her a kiss back.
"So, what do you think about my idea?" Martha asked.
"I'm up for it. But you do realise that we won't be able to touch each other in public. Can you handle that? Do you think you'll be able to keep your hands to yourself?" he teased her.
"Of course I can handle that. Unlike you, I have self-control," she replied before walking away.
Jack scoffed. "Self-control? I have plenty of self-control," he yelled out after her.
It was 8 pm and Jack sat on the couch watching a movie with Tony and Lucas. He wasn't paying much attention to it though; he was too busy thinking about Martha. They only got to spend about half an hour together down at the rocks today, because Martha had a shift at Noah's.
Jack then heard his phone beeping. He pulled it out of his pocket and looked at it. There was a message and it was from Martha. He opened the message and it said 'I've just got home. If you're not doing anything, come around'.
Jack smiled to himself. He sent a message back saying that he would be there soon. He jumped up from his spot on the couch and walked into his room to get his jacket and car keys.
"Dad, I'm going out for a while. I don't know when I'll be home," he said as he walked to the front door.
"Where are you going?" Tony asked his son.
Jack didn't know what to say. "Um," he stammered. "Oh, Rob just text me and asked if I wanted to go round and have a beer at his place with him and Scott," he said.
"Oh, okay then. Well I'll see you when you get home. Whenever that is," Tony said.
"Bye," Jack said as he walked out the front door.
"Do you believe he's really going to Robbie's?" Lucas asked his dad.
Tony laughed. "No way," he replied.
"Where do you think he's going then?" Lucas said.
"Wouldn't have a clue, mate. But whatever it is, it must be good," Tony started. "Because I don't think I've ever seen Jack move so fast in his life," he told his son.
Tony and Lucas looked at each other and laughed.
Martha looked down at her phone; reading the message that Jack had just sent her. It said 'be there in 10'.
Martha jumped up from her spot on the couch and ran into her room; wanting to get changed before he got there. She took off her Noah's uniform and put on the first thing she found; a pair of black pants and a red singlet.
She pulled her hair out of its ponytail; letting it fall loose around her face. She knew that Jack liked her hair the most when she had it out. She then sprayed herself with some perfume and put on some lip-gloss.
She then walked out into the kitchen and sat down; waiting for Jack to arrive.
Five minutes later she heard a knock at the door. "Just a second," she called. She was excited about seeing Jack and it was starting to make her feel a little giddy. But it was definitely a good giddy. Come on girl, pull yourself together, she told herself while walking over to the door.
She opened it to see Jack standing there with a smile on his face. "Hey," he said. "Hi," Martha replied, moving out of the way to let Jack in.
She closed the door, locked it and turned around to face Jack.
He quickly stepped towards her, sliding his arms around her waist and drawing her closer to him. He kissed her; his mouth both tender and passionate as it moved over hers.
They pulled away from each other. Martha smiled up at him. "Just what I needed," she told him.
Jack laughed. "Well, at least I know I'm good for one thing".
"Want a coffee?" Martha asked him. He nodded. "Sure".
They walked over to the kitchen. Jack took his jacket off, placing it over a chair.
"Oh, I just lied to my dad," Jack told her.
Martha looked at him confused. "Why?" she asked.
"When I said I was going out, I told him that I was going to Rob's for a couple of beers," he replied while going to stand next to her.
"Did he believe you?" she laughed.
Jack shrugged. "Don't know".
"Ah well. It's all for a good laugh," she told him as she rubbed his arm.
They stood looking into each others eyes for a few seconds before Jack decided to break the silence. "So, was there a reason why you asked me to come around?" he teased.
"Maybe," she smiled up at him innocently, before moving closer.
His arms swept around her swiftly. He claimed her mouth in a searing kiss. With a low groan, he pressed his tongue inside her mouth. He rubbed his tongue against hers. The kiss lengthened and became an outright act of love. He used his tongue to stroke the roof of her mouth. He explored and enticed until she was weakly clutching handfuls of his shirt in her hands.
They were soon interrupted by a knock at the door. "Yoo hoo, it's only me. Martha, are you home?" called Colleen from the other side of the door.
Martha pulled away from Jack gasping for air. She had a panicked look on her face. "I won't be a second Colleen," she called out.
Martha started pushing Jack into the broom cupboard. "What are you doing?" Jack laughed at her. "Shhh. If Colleen sees you here, the whole town will know within 20 minutes," she started. "Hide in here, it'll only be for a few minutes," she whispered, promising him with a quick kiss on the lips.
Martha opened the door to see Colleen's smiling face. "Hi Colleen," Martha said.
"Hello pet," Colleen started while pushing past Martha and walking into the apartment. "I just finished downstairs and I wanted to come up and see if you needed anything," Colleen rambled on.
"I'm fine thanks," Martha put on a fake smile.
"Are you okay? You seem a little flushed," Colleen asked. She put her hand up to Martha's face. "You feel really warm. Are you unwell?" Colleen nagged.
"No. I was doing a bit of a workout before, so that must have got me a bit hot and bothered," Martha told her.
"If you say so," Colleen smiled, seeming a little unconvinced.
"I'm pretty tired, so I think I'm going to go to bed now," Martha said, trying her hardest to get rid of Colleen.
"Oh. Okay, I'll go t and let you get some sleep," Colleen said, waddling over to the door. "Make sure you send your grandad down for some tucker tomorrow when he gets home. That hospital food is dreadful and I'm sure he'd like to tuck into a good meal," she kept on.
"Will do. Thanks for stopping by," Martha said, practically pushing her out the door. Martha stood at the door and waited until Colleen was out of sight. She slammed the door and locked it. "No more interruptions!" she said.
Spinning around she saw that Jack had already come out of the cupboard; he was laughing. "Hot and bothered, huh," he asked her.
She smiled at him. "What? It's the truth," she said.
"I make you hot and bothered?" Jack teased.
"Very much," she said honestly.
Martha walked towards Jack. "Now where were we before we were so rudely interrupted," she smiled up at him.
She grabbed his shirt and pulled him into her embrace, kissing him passionately while he ran his fingers through her long silky hair. Soon Martha was pushing Jack through to her room.
He had his hands underneath her top caressing the soft skin on her back. Just thinking about Jack's hands on her body sent tongues of desire licking through her belly.
While Martha undone the buttons on Jack's shirt, he lowered his mouth to her jaw line; stringing a row of tiny kisses along her flesh. With the buttons all undone, Martha pushed Jack's shirt open; letting it drop to the floor.
Her fingers skimmed across his chest; he didn't move, but she heard him draw in a sharp breath. Martha looked up into Jack's eyes and seen what she knew he could see in hers; Lust.
Before too long Jack was helping Martha remove her top; discarding it to the floor where his already lay.
Martha ran her hands up his biceps and then down across his back; she could feel his muscles tensing under her touch.
Jack picked Martha up; wrapping her legs around his waist and slamming her up against a wall. Martha couldn't help but let out a moan.
Martha continued to run her hands all over his body, while Jack was busy sucking on her neck. It was definitely going to leave a mark.
Martha's fingers worked their way up and down his back and when she felt him bite her neck, she couldn't help but dig her nails into his flesh. She heard a low groan coming from him.
Jack captured her mouth again, kissing her hungrily. From the first moment he'd seen Martha, he had wanted her; wanted her with a passion. He'd dreamed of running his hands up and down her slender form. And now he finally had her; and there was no way he was ever giving her up.
Martha pressed her hand onto Jack's warm skin; she could feel his heart beating. It was fast; just like her own.
"Jack, I need you so much," she purred in his ear.
With her eyes focused on his, she backed towards her bed, towing him with her. She fell back, bringing him down on top of her.
Rising up on his elbows, Jack stared down into her eyes. He could have sworn that the look that passed between them was the look of long-separated lovers finally together.
Martha lifted her hands up to Jack's face, stroking his cheeks. His lips came down on hers, giving her a hard, hot and passionate kiss. She'd never received such a blatantly sexual kiss.
After that; the love-making was achingly sweet, tender, and in the end wildly passionate.
