Sorry about the long wait for the update. I hope this lives up to your expectations.
Please enjoy.


They spent the night together, not doing much just holding each other. Laying in Jacs bed just listening to her steady breathing was enough to banish any bad feelings that Jonny had for the red head. She had made the mistake of sleeping with Sean yes, but she had been so regretful when she had told him. Tears were forming from those normally cold eyes, her refusal to look at him as he berated her.

He could have handled the situation better but what else could he have done. His girlfriend admitted to cheating on him with someone that should have known better. What's a man to do when he is hopelessly in love with another individual, someone whose heart refuses to believe the truth. Why is it so hard for her to except that I love her?

He is beginning to believe that Jac has never been shown love, or even how to love someone. He might not know much about her past but he has always been a good judge of character.

At first he knew she was only in it for the sex but something changed. He doesn't know when or how but something changed between them. His feelings of lust transformed to that of love and now the cogs turn themselves in his mind. The way in which she began staying later and later at his until eventually she stayed the night. When she eventually allowed him to cuddle her in his bed after sex.

He was so blissfully happy and he could see a spark in her eyes when they were together, the slight smile when he made an idiot of himself. But it's not until tonight, here, lying with her in his arms after everything that he believes he has cracked the ice queen exterior. Her heart has built up walls so high that even Jac herself cannot penetrate but he believes he can break down the wall, albeit brick by brick and he knows exactly how to do it.

Show her how much he cares, show her how much love can give but ultimately teach her how to love herself. He can see the terror in her eyes when he holds her too close, the hesitance when he kisses her too sweetly, and the reluctance to accept the endearments she knows are said with serious conviction.

He won't let it show but the altercation on Darwin earlier today had scared him. Not because of himself being injured but because of what he saw looking into Jacs eyes. Tortuous pain of someone who cannot bear their loved one hurt. He could tell that he had frightened her, scared her so much that words failed her and that hurt him.

She loved him and although she hasn't admitted it, he is prepared to do anything to make sure his relationship worked. Not just for himself but for Jac. She needs to be loved and she needs to be cared for, like a child and he is determined to do everything in his power to transform the bud into a flower. Tall and proud and not petrified to show emotion that at anytime may snap back and connect a bruising punch to her already battered heart. Emotion for her is pain but that can all change. Emotion will equal acceptance, happiness and most of all knowledge that she can love.

The beauty in his arms will stay enclosed both within his heart and the enclosure that he will build solely build for her. When she wakes they will talk, but for now he is content to feel the heat of the women he loves surrounding him to lull him asleep. Each new day will come with challenges but he knows that a certain red head will be with him at each stage.
