The reason I hadn’t told her in the first place was because I didn’t want her to treat me like I was sick. The only thing more annoying than being sick is being treated like you are sick.
Pulling back, I assured her, “Don’t worry about my heart. At my last appointment, my doctor assured me that I’m not on the verge of anything catastrophic.”
“That’s good because I don’t even remember how to do CPR. We learned it in high school gym class, but I need a refresher.”
“Actually, I have several portable defibrillators that I will show you how to use. Hopefully you won’t need to worry about it, though. The Bahamas are becoming the nerve center for cutting edge stem cell treatments.”
“And you think stem cells can regenerate your heart?”
“That’s what a friend of mine tells me. He’s provided funding for several of the new clinics down there. He claims there are miracles occurring every day down there.”
After a few seconds of contemplation she proposed, “If we finish up with all of the plant retooling details with Brenda this week, I would love to go with you.”
“Nothing would make me happier. In fact, I’ll sit in on the meetings and help you put it all together,” I replied as I cupped the side of her jaw in palm and began to kiss her beautifully plump lips. “God I missed you.”
“Good. So you promise not to ditch me again?” she asked, pulling back slightly.
“I promise Kate. Whether I’m here 7 more years or 37, I would love to spend every one of them with you.” By the look in her eyes, I could see that those were words she had been waiting to hear.
As our lips crashed against one another it suddenly felt as if a giant weight had been lifted from my chest. It was hard to believe how much pain I had experienced in the past couple of days. I knew that it would be hard, but I never imagined just how deeply she had penetrated my soul. We had been together for less than a month, yet suddenly, I wanted to spend every waking moment with her. How does this happen? How do two people meet, spend a short month together and find themselves absolutely and unequivocally in love with one another? It really doesn’t seem possible, much less rational. But, I honestly love her and I can’t imagine how empty my life would be without her. Thank God, Jayne brought me to my senses before it was too late.

Kate
Every article I had ever read in Cosmo told me that I should’ve played hard to get. I should’ve made him grovel and beg for my forgiveness. I should’ve been more of a bitch about the fact that he left me with nothing but a Dear Jane letter… but I couldn’t. The fact that only two days after leaving he was standing in front of me and committing his future to me just blew my mind. Why me? He could’ve had anyone he wanted, but instead he chose me. I know that some people won’t understand it. But, I honestly don’t care. I have always loved Jack, and until my dying breath, I always will. I just wish he would’ve trusted me with the truth.
As if he was reading my mind, Jack said, “I’m sorry for not being completely honest with you. It will never happen again.”
With that, he swept me up in his arms and carried me over to the couch. We paused momentarily to take in the panoramic view of the beautiful skyline and the bustling city below.
“Have you ever thought about making love while being completely surrounded by windows?” he asked with a smirk.
“Actually, the thought has never, ever crossed my mind.”
He set me down on the couch and knelt in front of me. He slowly moved his hands up the insides of my legs. I instantly felt a surge of energy travel up my inner thighs and strike deep within my core. For the past two days, I had struggled to push Jack out of my mind, but instantly he had recaptured my full attention. There is no place on earth I would rather be than right here.
When he reached my hips, he hooked his fingers in the sides of my panties and lifted me slightly to slide them down. I felt a gush of hot juices as he began kissing his way back toward my overheated pussy. No one had ever made me feel the way I felt with Jack. I couldn’t imagine ever being about to recreate those intensely erotic moments with anyone else. I only want Jack, was my final thought, as he ran his tongue along my slit and teased my clit. Any thoughts of him being sick quickly faded into the background, as he began to work me with the same intensity that he had our first week together. My god that feels so good. He definitely knows exactly how to melt me.
Jack
There was only one thing that I wanted to prove to Kate that night in the Atrium Suite; the fact that despite living with a heart condition, I had every intention of fucking her with all of the intensity I could muster. She had consumed my every thought since I left her apartment on Sunday. I translated all of the emotions I had been feeling directly into sexual energy. I could hear myself moaning as I moved along her tender folds and began to roll her clit between my upper lip and tongue. Her abs began to flex as she moaned and squirmed, letting me know that I was achieving the desired effect. Nothing made me happier than hearing her cry out in ecstasy, but I was in search of multiple orgasms. Since Kate was willing to spend her life with a much older man, I was determined to deliver as much satisfaction as possible. I slipped my fingers inside of her and began to rhythmically stroke her G-spot, while continuing to massage her clit with my tongue.
“Oh God, Jack…. that’s so intense,” was all the encouragement that I needed to turn up the heat another notch.
Her body went rigid as she clenched my hair tightly with both fists. Even though she had a pretty strong hold, I overpowered her, burying my face as deep as possible into her while continuing my assault on her G-spot. Her shallow, staggered breaths continued until she finally let out a scream of submission and began to squirm her way across the couch.
“I love making you squirm,” I said as I grabbed the hem of her dress. Sliding her back toward me, I pulled her to her feet and slid the dress up over her head. In nothing but her sexy little bra, I turned her toward the side windows.
“What if people can see us?” she asked, instantly realizing our proximity to other guest rooms.
“Kind of exciting isn’t it?” I teased.
“It’s pretty wild,” she replied as I grabbed the clasp of her bra and released it.
I kissed down the length of her back while undoing my own pants, allowing them to drop to the floor. I could feel my cock throbbing as I reached around her, rolling her nipples between my fingers. I just love how her tits fit so perfectly in my hands.
Kate sighed as my rigid cock came to rest against her drenched folds. I resisted the urge to dive right in and began to slide the tip slowly along her hot, slick pussy. Squeezing her nipples between my fingers, I moved slightly deeper, just enough to get inside. I could feel her inner muscles respond as they gripped me, delivering increased intensity with each shallow stoke.
Kate
Jack always had the ability to bring me to my knees. He’s such a damn tease. God, I love how his head feels against my G-spot. Each time he hit that spot, the intensity continued to build. I could feel my fingers losing their grip as they began to slide down the glass. If Jack’s arms hadn’t been wrapped around me, I probably would’ve hit the floor. With one smooth motion, he lifted me to the ledge. I was on my knees, kneeling in front of a large pane of glass. I swore at the time that people were looking right at us, but wrote it off as a figment of my imagination. I have to admit, the thought of people seeing us was actually kind of a turn on at the moment.
I braced my hands against the glass once again as Jack moved deeper inside of me. This had become my favorite position ever since the first time we had done it. He grabbed hold of my hips and slowly plunged his huge dick all of the way inside me. I almost came with that very first thrust. He then began to deliver slow, powerful strokes, causing my hands once again to begin their slide down the glass.
Sensing my instability, Jack released my hips and grabbed both of my arms just above the elbows. He held me up as I began to use my hips to move up
and down on his cock. He gave out a rather loud groan as I practiced flexing my kegel muscles the way Jackie had taught me. Suddenly, it was a competition to see who could put the other over the edge first. Jack was doing his best to make sure that he was hitting me in just the right spot, and I was returning the favor by squeezing tight with every upstroke. The sounds coming from Jack were so primal and sexy that I began to pound him with everything I had. After several moments of wild action, he let out a deep groan and I felt his dick pulse deep within me. The feeling of his load being unleashed made me quiver as I joined him in a shuddering climax. Despite wanting to keep stroking his ultra-sensitive cock, I couldn’t subject my own overheated parts to any further stimulation.
“I love you,” Jack whispered as he wrapped his arms around me and squeezed me tight.
A hot stream of tears returned and began to flow down my face. My brain was obviously recalling the highly emotional encounters we had shared in the previous week. My emotions still felt so raw and overwhelming.
“I love you, too, Jack,” I managed to whisper. “Always and forever.”
In that moment of serene silence, staring out at the Manhattan skyline, wrapped in Jack’s arms… I knew that I would never have to worry about him leaving again. He had made that mistake once, and after learning the reason for his departure, all had been forgiven. The makeup sex was spectacular, too.
Jack
Lying in bed with Kate, I was relieved to be past the first hurdle in our relationship. The longer I held her, the more I knew that everything was going to work out for us. There would undoubtedly be more bumps in the road, but the love that we had for one another was more than real. True love can overcome any obstacle, as long as we choose to focus on it instead of the obstacles. I continued to hold Kate as close as possible until I drifted off to sleep. There is no place on earth I would rather be than right here.
Chapter 6 – Paparazzi Surprise
Jack
“Hey, Boss. You might want to sneak out a little early this morning,” was the text message that I received from my driver, Tim, just after 6 am. I knew that he wouldn’t bother me that early unless there was a problem. I slipped out of bed, grabbed my robe, and headed out to the other room to call him back.
“Good morning Tim, what’s going on?” I asked while struggling to think clearly.
“That’s what I was going to ask you, Jack. I never thought that I would see you on the front page of the Daily News because of something like this. There are about a dozen photographers outside of the hotel waiting to get a picture of you and Kate.”
“Really?” was my only response as I felt my stomach turn over. I should’ve taken a moment to shut off the lights last night. How stupid. “What’s the damage?”
“Judging by the pictures, I would say that someone across from you had a professional camera with a zoom lens. You do know that the Atrium Suite is a frequent target, right?”
“I guess I probably should’ve known.”
“Alright, I’m in the parking garage, and it’s quiet right now. If you guys take the stairs, we can probably make it past the paparazzi without too much hassle,” he said trying to reassure me.
“Alright, I’ll wake up Kate and we’ll be right down.”
I threw on my clothes and ran my fingers through my hair. Kate, however, wasn’t exactly the type to get out of bed, throw on a baseball cap, and head out the door. She was going to need a few minutes to get ready.
“What’s going on?” she asked, slowly peeling herself out of bed.
“You really don’t want to know.” I paused for a moment to think of the best way to tell her what had happened.
“Well now I definitely want to know. What’s going on?”
“Remember when you thought that you saw someone looking at us last night?”
“Yes,” she replied hesitantly.
“It wasn’t your imagination. We apparently made the front page of the Daily News this morning.”
The color immediately drained from Kate’s face. I honestly thought that she was going to be sick.
“Were there pictures?” she asked, taking a seat as if to brace herself.
“According to Tim, someone took them while we were in front of the window. Don’t worry about it right now. Just get ready and we’ll get out of here. Apparently, paparazzi are waiting for us out front. Tim is sitting in the parking garage. He says it’s quiet down there right now.”
“Paparazzi?” Kate asked with a look of amazement washing across her face.
“I’m a little shocked, too. I’ve been in the news quite a bit lately because of the merger, but no one has ever shown the slightest bit of interest in my personal life.”
“Well, most people like you are only targets when they cheat on their wives. I suppose dating someone less than half your age makes you interesting as well.”
Kate fell quiet as she finished getting ready. I sat and thought about how the sudden burst of publicity could be spun in a positive direction. Then my mother flashed into my mind. Ugh… That of course led to Kate’s mother, Cynthia. Double ugh... It would obviously be a bad way for our mothers to find out that Kate and I were dating. At least Jayne and Brandon know about our relationship, but they’ll still be shocked to say the least.
I grabbed my iPad and searched for the article. They definitely caught Kate in all her glory. At least they had the decency to blur out her nipples. At least no one can really see me in the pictures. Maybe we could say that it was a publicity stunt for her new clothing line.
“You look like you’re formulating a plan.”
“I’m that transparent, huh?”
“Your eyes go up to the left a lot when you’re working on a plan.”
“So you’ve figured out my tell. Do you play poker?”
“Yeah, my dad taught me how to play when I was young. I don’t have a knack for numbers, so I learned to read people. I’ve played a few times online, but I do much better in a live game.”
“I’ve never had time to play poker. Maybe you can teach me how to play. I think that I would like it.”
“Sure… I’m almost ready to go.”
Kate
I never dreamt I would ever have a run-in with paparazzi. This would’ve been really cool - if I hadn’t been naked. Luckily, Mom hates gossip and especially despises the Daily News, so maybe this little incident can slip under her radar. Just as I finished up my makeup, there was some kind of scuffle outside our door.
“You guys aren’t allowed up here,” someone said in a booming voice.
“It sounds like a good time to make a break for it,” Jack whispered.
“I’m ready, just lead the way.”
Jack cracked open the door and saw the security guards to our left. The stairwell was just to the right, so we quietly made our way to the exit. The first flight of stairs was completely clear, so I got my hopes up. As we turned the first corner, however, the cameras were unleashed, along with a blinding torrent of flashing lights.
“Alright, that’s enough guys,” Jack yelled as he approached them, trying to block their cameras with his hand. “I’ll give you the scoop, just stop taking pictures.”
“Really?” one of the guys responded, looking at us suspiciously.
“Put down the cameras and I’ll tell you who she is.”
“Alright, they both replied,” lowering their cameras and grabbing their notepads.
“Her name is Kate and I’m helping her launch a new clothing line,” I explained.
“Okay, but why were you guys naked in the window?” one of them questioned.
“Every new designer needs a little publicity right?” I responded with a smirk.
“Publicity, huh? Looked more like a booty call to me,” the other replied.
“Let’s just go with a publicity stunt,” Jack reiterated as he began to push by them.
“Anything else you want to add to the story?”
“The line is called ‘Kate’s Collection,’ and
it will be in stores next summer,” Jack yelled as we picked up our pace down the stairwell. Once we reached the lower level, he called Tim to confirm that the garage was still clear.
“You’re all clear,” Tim replied.
We quickly headed out and ducked into the waiting limo. What an insane way to start the day!
Jack
“Do you think they bought it?” Kate asked as we settled into the back seat.
“It doesn’t really matter. They’ll print whatever gets them more clicks and sells more papers.”
“I’m not so sure that I would want them to buy your story anyway. I would’ve never thought of doing something like that to get publicity for my line. I would rather just make great clothes,” she replied with a look of disapproval.
“Don’t worry, no one is going to believe it anyway,” I assured her. “I just thought that we could get your name out there. Make something positive out of a bad situation.”
“Shit, we’re going to have to go right by them,” Tim yelled back to us.
“That’s alright,” I replied after seeing the look on Kate’s face. “I need to set the record straight anyway.”
As traffic stalled, several photographers and reporters approached the car trying to see who was inside. I sat with my finger on the sunroof button, waiting for the traffic light to turn green. I knew that it would take a full minute for traffic to get moving once the light turned and that was all of the time I wanted to spend with them.
“It’s show time,” I told Kate as the light turned green.
Kate
As the sunroof began to slide open, I got so nervous that I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. I had never imagined myself being in a situation like this. I almost peed when Jack reached for my hand wanting me to join him. Oh, God no! Cameras began to click and people started yelling questions at us as Jack pulled me up through the sunroof.
