AN: Ok sorry once again, it is starting to become a broken record. I am trying to get the time down on postings and will try to do one a week from now on. I decided to make a few changes to the last few chapters and with work, family life and other events occuring the last couple of months have not been easy to write.
Thanks for those of you that are sticking with the story looks like I may have lost a few readers but hopefully those that are still reading still find it at least somewhat entertaining.
I apologize now for the spelling on this chapter, my browser spell checker seems hit and miss today and my MS Word Spell checker uses English.
I have news, I am just finalizing details but I have managed to rope artemay into being my beta but as he is not familiar with this story our collaboration will be for my next stories specifically the long awaited sequel to New Directions and another Little AU that I am working on.
Still don't own Chuck
Chapter 17
The car arrived for Chuck and Jenny to begin their evening and was driven to the Royal Motor Yacht Club on Gunnamatta Bay.
They walked through the marina and past all the wonderful looking boats, when Jenny had found out that he had a yacht called Eleanor she had assumed that it would be a small boat just large enough for them, It would be cozy and romantic. But Chuck stopped in front of a boat, and she had to do a double take when she saw the name was 'The Eleanor' the boat was massive.
"Chuck is…. this your boat?" asked Jenny nervously.
While Jenny was by no means an expert on boats what she did know was this was more then what a normal person would be capable of owning. It looked like it was about 100 feet in length and had its own tender.
It was the kind of boat you associated with multi-millionaires, not government agents.
"Yeah, do you like it, we can redecorate inside if you don't like it?" asked Chuck.
"Um…." said Jenny.
"Its ok, I haven't done anything with it since I bought it a few years ago" said Chuck.
"How can you afford …..something like this?" asked Jenny.
"Oh, um well…..remember I said that when my dad died he left his estate to me?" said Chuck.
"Yes" replied Jenny.
"Well he had a few patents that at the time of his death weren't doing that much, but since have kind of taken off, his estate is getting royalties all the time. This and the house were really the only things I have done with It." said Chuck.
Jenny was still stunned, no knowing what this all meant yet. She was having a hard time understanding all the implications that came with it.
'How much money does Chuck have?' thought Jenny
"Well, come aboard I will give you the tour" said Chuck, taking her by the hand and helping her board the vessel.
"How many cabins does it have?" asked Jenny.
"Five not including crew, I have had the vessel automated as much as possible though, and it is possible to operate without crew" said Chuck.
"We could go and sail away and never come back" said Jenny with a big smile.
"Well that was kind of the backup plan" said Chuck.
Chuck took her around the boat, showing her the Cabins, the galley and the bathroom facilities, but he left the Fly bridge for last.
On the Fly bridge was a table setup for a romantic dinner with candlelight and soft music playing; in the background Jenny could see a Jacuzzi.
"Oh my god" said Jenny covering her mouth.
"So you think this was an ok plan, for us to spend tonight aboard this old thing" said Chuck.
"Chuck it doesn't matter where we are, because there is only one thing I need to be boarding tonight" Jenny answered in a sultry voice.
Chuck took her in his arms, "My, you are being rather forward, aren't you?" said Chuck.
"Chuck I don't want any confusion as to what my expectations are from tonight. I expect to be boarding the USS Chuck" said Jenny laughing.
This direct approach from Jenny was turning Chuck on, he couldn't work it out, because Carina and other women have been forward with him and it has never made him feel this way.
He then realised it had nothing to do with how Jenny was doing it, it was just that Jenny was making it clear that she wanted Chuck and seeing how much he wanted her it was amazing he did not just forget the whole night and take her there.
While they started the evening the boat slowly made its way into the middle of Port Hacking and stopped and dropped anchor away from anyone else.
Chuck and Jenny took their seats at the table and they were waited on with one person responsible for making sure they had everything they needed.
"This is amazing Chuck and I am so glad that it is a nice night, being out here under the stars is amazing" said Jenny.
"You like this, I was either going to go with the Starlight candle cruise of the Harbour Cruise. But I thought we would likely have other boats and company around on the Harbour and I do not want to share you" said Chuck
The each had a dozen oysters and Chuck had the lamb with rosemary and roast potatoes, salsa dragoncello while Jenny had the Fish of the Day.
They were on the second bottle of Shiraz when Chuck decided to make a toast.
"I am sorry I should have done this before…" he said raising his glass
"To us and an evening full of promises and a future full of possibilities" added Chuck.
They clinked the glasses and gave each other a smile.
"So what patents did you dad have that allow you to have this great boat" asked Jenny.
"There are a lot of them, but probably only a couple that you would be familiar with" said Chuck.
"And?" said Jenny.
"Ok well one is the type of matrix used in LCD screen displays, the other is the resistive technology used in touch screens" said Chuck.
"Wow, I didn't know your father was such a genius" said Jenny.
The only response Chuck gave her was silence.
"Chuck I am sorry to bring these things up, I should have realized it would be hard for you" said Jenny.
"No its ok, I guess I haven't thought that much about it lately" said Chuck.
Jenny leaned across the table and took his hand
"I guess I was going to head down that career path too until the incident" said Chuck.
"It's a shame you haven't been able to continue in your father's field you could have come up with the latest technologies." said Jenny.
"Yeah maybe I still can" said Chuck.
"You done much with electronics lately" asked Jenny.
Chuck just smiled.
"Yeah I have come up with some inventions if you want to call them that, but they unfortunately are not as benign or universal as the LCD or touchscreen" said Chuck.
"What do you mean?" asked Jenny.
"Well my devices help assault teams take out opponents, in fact I used a couple of my developments to get your dad out of the Ajala residence" said Chuck sadly.
"I also created some useful devices on the flight to assist in securing the individuals on the flight" said Chuck.
"Chuck I am sorry you had to go throw what you have because of me and my Dad" said Jenny.
"Sshh, no need to say sorry, let's forget about it, we have much more important things to think about tonight" said Chuck winking.
They had finished dessert and the table had be cleaned away and they used the area were the table was as an impromptu dance floor.
"You really are a good dancer Jenny" said Chuck.
"Thank you, I had some lessons in town, but you are amazing Chuck" said Jenny.
"Oh, it is nothing special. We have to learn to dance for the job you never know when you have to infiltrate a party or event and dancing certainly comes in handy" said Chuck.
"So is this Chuck or Agent Carmichael dancing with me?" asked Jenny.
"Jenny, tonight Agent Carmichael is nowhere to be found, I may have learnt some skills while an agent, but the heart can still use them in other ways" said Chuck.
"What do you mean?" asked Jenny.
"As an agent when I dance it may look like I am into the actual dance moves and very much involved with my dance partner, but things couldn't be more from the truth. I am constantly scanning the room for threats, that I hardly even acknowledge the person I am dancing with. However at the moment I wouldn't have a clue what is happening outside this embrace, you are my world Jenny Burton" said Chuck.
Jenny couldn't stop smiling as warmth spread throughout her cheeks, this was perfect, she was with the man she loved dancing away on top of a beautiful boat.
"Chuck um when you finish this mission, are we still going to take time off?" asked Jenny.
"We sure are, I think two weeks were what was agreed to wasn't it?" asked Chuck.
"Yeah, I just wasn't sure with this whole other mission thing… if it would make it difficult" said Jenny.
"No not at all, it allows us to spend this time together before I have to go away, then the two weeks" said Chuck.
"So what are we going to do for the two weeks?" asked Jenny.
"Well I seem to remember promises of one week of not coming out of the bedroom and another week recovering, but I was thinking maybe we do that on the boat up in the Whitsunday Islands?" said Chuck
"Where is that?" asked Jenny.
"It's about a thousand miles north of here, really nice this time of year we would be able to do some swimming too" said Chuck.
"How would we get the boat up there?" asked Jenny.
"I am sure I could find a crew to take it up" said Chuck.
Chuck was thinking for several seconds.
"I could go up with the boat while you are off doing your thing" said Jenny.
"Yes you could, but it would be pretty boring" said Chuck.
"Not like there is much going on here?" said Jenny.
"I was thinking about maybe you getting involved in victim counseling it would be once we got settled down, it would give you a chance to give something back and be part of something. I could arrange something if you were interested." said Chuck.
"Yeah I think I would like that, I am a qualified counselor and have counseled victims of domestic violence and worse, I think that is a good Idea Chuck. What do I need to do to make it happen" asked Jenny.
"Leave it up to me" said Chuck smiling.
"What did I do, to deserve someone as special as you in my life?" asked Jenny.
"That's sweet but we both know it's me that should be asking that question, and there is no answer because I do not deserve someone as special as you" said Chuck.
They had been dancing for a while when Chuck broke the silence.
"You ok if I send the help on their way for the night, we will need to look after ourselves from now on?" asked Chuck.
"Yeah, I am pretty sure I can handle anything you may need Mr Bartowski" said Jenny smiling.
Chuck finished saying his thanks to everyone and they left on the tender and gave Chuck and Jenny their privacy.
"So Mr Bartowski what have you got planned for the rest of the night?" asked Jenny.
"Well I was thinking we could warm up in the Jacuzzi then maybe clean up in the shower and end a nice evening in each other's arms" said Chuck.
"Well Chuck, I think you need to be prepared for an evening that just may not end" said Jenny
"Only problem I did not bring my swimming costume" said Jenny smiling.
"Well I guess we will both have to go natural like we came into this world" said Chuck.
"mmmmm, sounds like a plan why don't you grab some bottles of water, I am going to need you to keep up your fluids for what I have planned" said Jenny winking.
Chuck went into the galley and grabbed four bottles of water and an ice bucket and brought them up onto the fly bridge.
When he got there he was looking for Jenny but couldn't find her, then he heard the sultry voice.
"Chuck are you going to leave me all alone in here?" Jenny asked as Chuck looked and saw her in the Jacuzzi. The water was billowing around her; her breasts were partially obscured but also making their presence known as they moved around like they had a mind of their own.
Chuck quickly stripped off and climbed in noticing Jenny licking her lips as he slowly descended into the water.
"Mmmmmm and I thought we had finished all the courses, you didn't say we had another dessert coming" said Jenny as their bodies entwined, and their lips found each other losing themselves and becoming one.
The sensations of the hot water and the connection of their bare skin sent Chuck senses into overdrive, Jenny's lips felt so right. He still could not believe how right it felt being in her arms and with nothing between them and Jenny making things much more interesting with her hand firmly surrounding his growing member.
"Oh god Jenny you have no idea what you do to me, I can't put it into words" said Chuck.
"Well, lets see if I can find out" she said as she disappeared under the bubbling water.
It didn't take before Chuck was able to feel Jenny as she engulfed him in her mouth.
Chuck was having difficulty restraining himself but also found himself starting to worry about how long Jenny had been under water. He finally couldn't enjoy the sensation anymore as he wasworrying about her and he brought her to the surface.
"What's wrong Chuck am I hurting you, am I doing it wrong, I guess I am a little out of practice" said Jenny.
"No Jenny it felt wonderful, but I couldn't stop worrying about you down there you were holding your breath for a long time" said Chuck.
"Chuck, don't worry about me I have good lungs and I am sure I could surprise you how long I can stay under. Besides you are not planning on taking my dessert away are you?" she asked with a pout.
"Oh my god you are going to kill me, but at least I will die happy" said Chuck as Jenny disappeared back under the water.
Some time later and after both had needed to replenish their fluid stores they decided it was time to move the activities to the shower
As Jenny hopped out of the Jacuzzi Chuck was busy admiring her beauty and how she looked in the moonlight.
"Oh my god Jenny, I cannot believe how beautiful you are. Before we go below decks how about we lay down on this towel under the stars" said Chuck.
"Chuck, you have awakened something inside me. You had better be prepared for what you have created. The more I have of you, the more I need. I hope I don't break you" said Jenny with a wicked smile.
"Jenny I used to think dedicating my life to the greater good was what all I was capable of, but now I want to dedicate my life to pleasuring you" he said as he slowly covered her body in kisses.
After the two of them had experimented with new sounds that could have attracted a passing whale pod it was time to hit the shower to wash off all the evidence of their activities, so they could prepare for the next round of pleasuring.
The both walked down below decks with Chuck following Jenny close behind keeping a close eye on her ever swaying hips and wonderful bottom. They eventually made it into the shower, having to stop every few steps as Chuck would just get lost in the vision in front of him.
Jenny decided she would take matters into her hands as she took him in her hand and guideding him to the shower.
They each explored every inch of each other's bodies as the warm water cascaded down there curves.
"Jenny you are a goddess, I could spend the rest of my life just looking at you" said Chuck.
"Chuck it's going to get very cold and lonely if all you do is look" said Jenny smiling.
They kissed and caressed each other, when Chuck was able to see the raw lust in Jenny's eyes, he lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around him locking them above his hips as they began the journey to new heights that seem impossible for mere mortals to ever achieve.
Throughout the journey they each maintained contact with their mouths as if the very air they breathed depended on it.
After the shared shower , they decided that she should have some sustenance to keep them going, Chuck pulled out a bowl of Chocolate dipped strawberries and took them into the room with another bottle of champagne.
They each fed each other the strawberries and drank the champagne. It was then that Jenny glanced to the clock on the wall the first time she has looked at the time since she arrived on the boat.
"Is that the time, is that how long we have been going for?" asked Jenny astounded.
"The night is still young, and we have much more to do before the sun comes up, we haven't even got to the bedroom yet" said Chuck smiling.
"Oh god, I think you are going to break me," said Jenny smiling.
She ate another Strawberry that Chuck had fed her, making sure to show Chuck her lips as fed on fruit.
"I had no idea that I could feel this way, um I can't put into words what you have done to me. I feel like my whole body is just one big sensual organ and your slightest touch makes me respond. These feelings I…they are unbelievable" said Jenny with the biggest smile he had ever seen.
"So was it worth the wait?" asked Chuck.
After several seconds of silence
"I am sorry my mind is having difficulty processing anything at the moment" said Jenny.
Chuck had a little chuckle, he too was having difficulty thinking about much other then the here and now. They just seemed to have this connection that transcended any physical responses and seemed to go right to his heart and soul.
Several hours later the sun was coming up and both Jenny and Chuck had large smiles on their faces and were sound asleep, still with their bodies entwined.
Chuck had arranged for someone to come back out to the boat at 9:00 AM to serve them breakfast. Chuck was the first one to wake up and had to admit that considering how little sleep he got last night, he certainly did feel good.
He managed to have a look at the time and determined that they had a bit over an hour before breakfast would be prepared.
As he was thinking how perfect this felt he started softly running his finger tips up and down Jenny's back and was able to elicit some soft pleasurable moans from her.
She eventually opened her eyes and stared into her lover's and got lost in them, and in the sensations he gave her the night before.
"Hello beautiful, I can't believe after the activities of last night you still look as gorgeous as you do" said Chuck.
"Well, you look incredibly sexy too, and from what I can feel on my leg I think we are ready for another round" said Jenny smiling.
Some time later and after they had continued the mutual appreciation of each others bodies in the shower, they got ready for Breakfast.
They had just gotten dressed when the caterers had arrived back on the tender, ready to prepare this mornings feast.
"Not sure about you, but I could certainly do with some energy food if I am going to keep up with you" said Chuck.
Jenny almost choked as she was drinking a glass of juice.
"Excuse me, I don't remember me having to drag you in any of those times Mr Bartowski" said Jenny.
"Ok ok….. lets just say we need plenty of energy food to keep up with each other. Besides with such a beautiful creature beside me, how could you even expect me to be able to resist" said Chuck.
They kept this easy banter going and were making all of the caterers embarrassed, the male Chef was envious of Chuck and the female server was envious of Jenny.
They enjoyed the breakfast as the the boat was brought back into the marina and it was time to return to land. It made Jenny a little sad to be returning, she didn't want last night to end.
Chuck could see something was on Jenny's mind.
"You ok?" asked Chuck.
"Yeah, I guess I just don't want the incredible night to end, it kind of feels like I am going back to the real world" said Jenny.
"Jenny, I will still be here and unless there is something you are not telling me, I had thought we were going to spend the time we have together. So it really doesn't have to end we are simply relocating to another location so we can continue with our time together. In fact when we get back to the house I was thinking we would spend some more time in bed catching up on our sleep." said Chuck.
"Sleep Chuck?" asked Jenny.
"Well if we are going to have a repeat of last night tonight, we will need to get some" said Chuck.
"What are you serious?" asked Jenny.
"Well I was but if you would rather not I certainly believe no is no" said Chuck.
"I…..I just didn't think we would be ready. Um we kind of …" said Jenny until she felt self conscious.
"What is it?" asked Chuck.
"Well when I said ten years worth I wasn't really serious" said Jenny.
"Ok well, maybe we should slow it down then, but last night was not about the ten years it was just for the few days I haven't seen you. Catching up for the ten years will not start till tonight" said Chuck winking.
The thought alone made Jenny shiver as she imagined all her nerve endings firing as they did last night, yes she was vocal but she wasn't going over the top just because they were in the middle of nowhere. Tonight they would be back in civilization and the neighbors were likely to complain.
"So how has your dad been?" asked Chuck.
"Don't know, haven't really spent that much time with him, unless he takes responsibility for his actions that lead to this, I don't think I will be able to have any kind of relationship with him" said Jenny.
Jenny saw the reaction in Chuck's face.
"Does that disappoint you Chuck?" asked Jenny concerned.
"Um, I guess it's just sad, I would give almost anything to have a chance just to have a conversation with my father or sister again. But I know that isn't going to happen, I just hope that you have your chance before it is too late" said Chuck.
"Oh I'm sorry Chuck, I didn't think about how the relationship between my dad and I would affect you. I am so stupid I should have realized" said Jenny.
"Jenny I just don't want you to regret not having spent time with him when you could, maybe I should scare him into taking responsibility" said Chuck seriously.
"Chuck no it's ok I will deal with it, but I would like you to be able to be there for me when I do" said Jenny.
"Well I will be here for about another week till I will need to go take care of the last mission. I will then be gone for about a week. If you want to get something sorted before I leave, then maybe we should do it soon." said Chuck.
The thought made Jenny think about how it will be without Chuck around and saddened her.
"If you want to deal with out when I come back that is cool" said Chuck
"I will think about it" said Jenny.
"Jenny, there are a few other things I would like to discuss" said Chuck
Jenny was concerned she didn't like the tone that Chuck had used.
"Um, yes" said Jenny looking at the floor.
"The first thing was name we need to start going by your new alias" said Chuck.
"Oh the Sarah Walker one?" asked Jenny.
"Yeah", said Chuck.
"Ok I haven't given my real name to anyone and all my documentation I have been using says that anyway. It will feel a little weird you yelling out Sarah in the middle of a you know what though" she said smiling.
Chucks face went a bright red.
"What was the other thing?" asked Jenny.
"Well I was thinking of making John Casey an offer to come work with me over here, I thought you seemed to like him and I trust your judgement, well at least where it doesn't involve me" said Chuck.
"Oh, ok?" said Jenny.
"But if you didn't want me too I will forget it" said Chuck.
"No its ok, it will be nice having another friendly face around even if he grunts more then he talks. It just kind of made me realize how much I will miss the Shelter back home" said Jenny.
Chuck took her into a hug and held her tightly.
"I am not sure how you do it, but when you hold me everything else just doesn't seem to matter" said Jenny.
"Then maybe I should never stop holding you" said Chuck
"While that sounds wonderful, its entirely impractical" said Jenny with her face buried in Chuck's chest.
"Also after I have finished this last mission I will also be calling into Warwick and was going to get some things for you, if you wanted them" said Chuck.
"Oh, ok I will think about them…um if I don't get them will I lose them?" asked Jenny.
"No, I will get whatever is left packed up and moved into storage" said Chuck.
"Um there are some personal things there that I would like, but feel a little embarrassed" said Jenny looking at her hands.
"What so even after last night you still think you will need your battery powered friend?" asked Chuck.
Jenny looked up confused and said "What are you talking about?" then the realization hit her and she hit Chuck.
"Chuck, I am not talking about things like that…..Just sentimental things" said Jenny quietly.
"What you don't want me to know what you find sentimental?" asked Chuck.
"There are some things in there that I would prefer I didn't have to explain…. yet" said Jenny.
'How can I explain the painting?' thought Jenny.
"Maybe it is best if you don't worry" said Jenny sadly.
"Would you feel more comfortable if you spoke to John Casey about it?" asked Chuck.
'Oh shit yes I would, but if I say yes will he think there is something between John and I' thought Jenny.
"Let me think about it and I will let you know" said Jenny.
"If it was easier I could also get you to talk to Eve Woodcombe she would be able to pack some more female type things?" asked Chuck.
"Yeah, just let me think about it" said Jenny.
Chuck could see something was going on with Jenny, that she didn't want to tell him. It was the first time he felt that she was purposely keeping something from him.
He hated they way it made him feel, it was one of the many downsides to his training and career, when someone was hiding something you never assumed it was something innocent.
Jenny could sense a coldness in Chuck, and she did not like it, his expression was more like it was the days when they were travelling between Warwick and Chicago. It had a serious almost threatening side.
Jenny didn't know what had happened to change him was it something she did, was it about the things she didn't want him to see. Could he tell that she was hiding something from him?
'Of course he can he is a spy, his job is to read people. What am I going to do?' Thought Jenny
"Chuck is everything ok?" asked Jenny.
Chuck looked at Jenny with a hard face then quickly softened.
"Yeah, everything is fine" said Chuck.
They had arrived back at the house and Chuck still hadn't gone back to himself, they hadn't spoken since he said that everything was fine.
She was getting very frustrated and didn't know what to do.
"Chuck can we please talk, I know something has upset you, what is on your mind?" said Jenny.
"Jenny I understand you want to keep secrets from me, but you need to understand that I can not help my reactions to deception. It is not a conscious act it has simply ingrained in my nature. If you need to keep things from me, well I ….let's just drop it. You don't want to tell me" said Chuck and he stormed off.
Jenny found him getting dressed into the running clothes.
"You going out for a run, I thought we were going to catch up on some sleep?" asked Jenny.
"I need to release some tension" said Chuck.
"Chuck please,…..I …..um I will tell you about it, but I just need some time. I guess I am still nervous about your feelings for me and I just don't want to ruin what we have" said Jenny.
"Jenny, you really still question my feelings for you after last night….that was no Charles Carmichael that was Chuck, that was 100% me opening myself up to you. If you can't do the same then maybe we don't have what I thought we did" said Chuck.
"Chuck please" she said as she started crying.
Chuck could never deal with a crying woman, it was his one weakness and he knew he would do anything for her to stop crying.
"Jenny don't cry, I will go out for a run and it will give you a chance to think. I will be coming back and if you want to talk we can do it then. So please stop crying" said Chuck as he rubbed his hand on her back.
"Chuck I don't want to scare you away" said Jenny in between sobs.
"I don't understand, do you think I scare easily?" asked Chuck smiling.
"Not about things that normal people are scared of, but this is different" said Jenny.
"If I promise that it will not change how I feel about you or about us would that help?" asked Chuck.
"Chuck you can't promise that" said Jenny
A/N: Ok everyone question time;
Should I continue to use Jenny or would you prefer I change to Sarah from next chapter onwards. Chapter already written but a search and replace isn't too difficult.
So what is this deep dark secret that Jenny is keeping?
And yes I purposely finished here.
I will likely post a companion story with an "M" version of certain events from this chapter if anyone is interested. But unlikely to be posted until after the last chapter of this story.
