She let out a light laugh. “No, Jack. I’m not toying with you. I want nothing more than to feel you inside me.”
“I thought you don’t put out on the first date.”
“I usually don’t. But you’re the exception to my rule.”
I growled as I picked her up and carried her to the bedroom. Laying her down on the bed, I kicked off my shoes and stripped out of my shirt. Hovering over her, I ran the back of my hand down her cheek.
“You have no idea how much I’ve missed this, missed us.”
“I do have an idea because I did too.”
My lips swept over her neck as my hand took its place between her thighs and roamed up her dress until my fingers hit the fabric of her panties. I could already feel the wetness that escaped her, which sent my cock into a frenzy. Reaching up further, I successfully pulled her panties down with one hand and let my fingers roam her slick area. Moans escaped both of us when I dipped my finger inside her.
“God, I’ve missed this,” I moaned.
“Me too, Jack. Me too.”
Our lips tangled with each other, moving in sync as our tongues met and danced with the same rhythm. I dipped in another finger. She gasped as I explored her. She threw back her head and my tongue slid across her soft skin. Her breathing became shallow and her moans grew louder.
“Are you going to come, baby?”
“Yes, don’t stop, Jack. Don’t stop.”
“I’m never going to stop making you feel good.”
One final moan and I felt the wetness pour against my fingers.
“That’s it. Come for me. Show me how good I make you feel.”
Once she came down from her orgasm, I stood up and quickly and took off my pants. Out of breath, Lorelei stood up in front of me as I unzipped her dress, letting it fall to the ground. Unhooking her strapless bra, I tossed it to the side as my hands placed a firm grip on her beautiful round breasts. As I took her breast in my mouth, I placed my arm around her lower back and lowered her onto the bed. My mouth explored her breasts, taking each of her hardened nipples in my mouth before kissing her down her torso until I reached her pussy. My mouth devoured her slowly and seductively. My tongue flickered at her clit, sending her body into a frenzy. I teased her with my tongue, circling it around her most sensitive spot until she gave way to another orgasm.
“Jesus, Jack. Oh my God,” she moaned.
I smiled as I hovered over her. “I have to put on a condom.” I kissed her lips.
As I started to get up, she stopped me.
“No condoms. Please. I want to feel your natural skin against mine.”
“Are you sure, baby? I won’t be able to come inside you.”
“Yes, you can. I’m on the pill. I have been for years.”
I arched my brow at her in surprise. “You never told me you were on the pill.”
“I thought you liked condoms, so I didn’t say anything.”
“God, Lorelei, I hate those damn things. But I use them for protection against all sorts of things.”
“I know. But you don’t have to worry about that with me, now, do you?” She smiled.
“No, I don’t. You have no idea how happy you’ve just made me again.” I kissed the tip of her nose.
My hard cock was already between her legs and I didn’t hesitate to thrust inside her. The warmth enveloped around me as I let out a moan of pure pleasure. Thrusting in and out of her repeatedly, the pressure began to build for both of us. Her hands rested on my back as her nails dug into my skin while she orgasmed once again. I couldn’t hold back anymore as I thrust deep inside, slowing my rhythm as I spilled every last drop inside of her.
“Fuck, Lorelei. Oh fuck!” I moaned from pure pleasure.
When I collapsed on top of her, I could feel her heart beating as rapidly as mine was. I didn’t want to move because I couldn’t bear to let her go, so I just lay there on top of her until our breathing returned to normal and our heart rates slowed down.
“I’m afraid I can’t move. You seemed to have paralyzed me.” I smirked as I looked at her smiling face.
“Funny, I seem to feel the same way.”
I managed to find the strength to pull out of her and roll onto my back. Grabbing her hand, I brought it up to my lips.
“I’m in love with you, Lorelei.” I turned my head and looked at her.
A bright smile crossed her lips. “I’m in love with you too, Jack.” She brought her other hand up to my cheek.
“Really?”
“Yes. I have been. I just didn’t want to admit it because I was scared.”
“You don’t have to be scared again, baby, because I’m always going to make you feel safe, wanted, and loved. I love you and I will always love you.”
Her beautiful eyes stared into mine as she leaned closer to me and kissed my lips.
I love you too, Jack.” Her hand ran down my cheek.
Would you like to take a nice hot bath together?” I asked.
“I would love to.”
I climbed off the bed and walked into the bathroom to start the bath water. Lorelei poured us some champagne and brought the glasses into the bathroom.
Chapter Forty-Nine
Lorelei
Jack climbed into the tub first and held out his hand to me. Placing my hand in his, I climbed in and laid my back against his muscular chest. He wrapped one arm around me while he handed me a glass of champagne.
“I have a question for you. It’s something that’s been bothering me for a while.”
“What is it, baby? You can ask me anything.”
“Who was that woman you were with in Paris?”
“What woman?”
“I saw a picture of the two of you online on the balcony of your hotel room. You were both drinking coffee and wearing robes.”
“That was my cousin, Meredith. She was at fashion week and her room was next to mine. She stepped out the door in the morning to grab the newspaper and the door shut. She knocked on my door because our rooms were joined and we just ended up having coffee and talking. Did you think I slept with her?”
“Well, yeah. What would you think if you saw a picture of me with some guy in our robes on the balcony?”
“True. Why didn’t you ask me about her when you saw the picture?”
“Because it was none of my business. We hadn’t even slept together at that point.”
“I’m sorry you thought that and carried that question around with you all this time. God, what you must have thought of me.”
I laughed. “I thought some pretty bad things about you.”
“I’m sure you did. So, when are we going to tell Hope that we’re dating?”
“We can tell her tomorrow. She misses you, Jack. She asked today when she could see you again and I told her that I’d give you a call to see if you wanted to hang out over the weekend.”
“I want to hang out with the both of you every day. I love your little girl, Lorelei. I can honestly say that both of you have changed my life.”
“And you’ve changed our lives, Jack.”
“I want to take you and Hope on a trip.” He softly stroked my arm.
“Where?”
“Disney World.”
I looked back at him in shock. “You do realize that place is crawling with children, right?”
He chuckled. “Yes, I realize that. Hope would love it. Especially Cinderella’s castle. I’ve never been there. Our vacations growing up always consisted of Hawaii or the Virgin Islands. Monaco, Aruba, Bahamas.”
“Okay.” I laughed. “That really sounds like an amazing childhood.”
“It was okay. But I never got to experience Disney World like most kids. So, I want to go.”
“I’ve always wanted to take Hope there, but I could never afford it.”
“Well, now you don’t have to worry about that. I was looking things up online and did you know you can have breakfast with the princesses? Hope would love that.”
“And do you kn
ow that you have to book that at least a year in advance?” I smiled as I turned around and straddled him.
He brought his hand up and pushed my hair behind my ear. “Don’t you worry about that. Hope will have breakfast with the princesses. I will make sure of it.”
I smiled as I brought my lips to his. “I know you will.”

The next morning, Jack and I made love a couple of times before going down for breakfast. I pulled my phone from my purse and noticed a text message from Stella.
“No need to thank me. You’re welcome and I love you too!”
I smiled and showed the text message to Jack.
“When did the two of you plan all of this and how?”
“I ran into Stella at Bloomingdale’s when I was picking up my suit. She was looking for a sweater for Sebastian. We got to talking and then we went and had coffee. We planned it from there.” He winked.
We climbed into the limo and headed back to the apartment, where we waited for Stella to bring home Hope. As soon as she walked through the door, she saw Jack and ran to him.
“Jack! What are you doing here?”
“Your mom told me you wanted to hang out, so here I am.”
She giggled as he tapped her on the nose.
“I’m going to go now.” Stella winked at both of us. “Call me later, Lorelei.”
“I will. Thank you again.” I walked over and hugged her.
When she left, we sat Hope down on the couch.
“There’s something we need to tell you, Hope,” I said as I ran my hand down her hair.
“I hope it’s that you two are dating!” she exclaimed in excitement.
“We are, Hope,” Jack responded with a smile.
“YES! I knew it. I knew you’d never give up, Jack.”
We both looked at her in shock. “What do you mean?” he asked her.
She turned to him and placed both of her small hands on his cheeks.
“You are Prince Charming, Jack, and Prince Charming never gave up.”
Not only did tears form in my eyes, but Jack’s became watery as well. He pulled her into him and gave her a tight hug.
“You are one special little girl. How would you like to go to Disney World?”
Hope’s eyes widened as she looked at me and then back at Jack.
“Are you being serious, Jack? Because it’s not nice to play with a girl’s emotions.”
Jack and I both busted out into laughter at the same time.
“I’m very serious, Hope Flynn, and I would never play with a girl’s emotions.”
“YES! When. When. When are we going?”
“I was thinking in a couple of weeks, right after Thanksgiving.”
“You’re the best, Jack. Can we go, Mommy? Please!”
“Of course we can go.” I smiled as I tickled her.
“Then I guess I better start booking this trip,” Jack said.
“You don’t want your PA to handle it for you?”
“Nah. This is something I want to do all on my own.” He smiled as he leaned over and kissed me.
Chapter Fifty
Jack
Thanksgiving was right around the corner and so was our trip to Disney World. I spent the weekends at Lorelei’s apartment, but during the week, I would pick her and Hope up. We’d drive Hope to school, stop at Starbucks together for our morning coffee, and then we headed into the office together. We even went out with Garrett and Coco and Stella and Sebastian.
Coco and I convinced our mother that it was time for her to retire. We told her that if she didn’t, we’d both be leaving the company and starting something of our own, which I still wanted to do, but instead, we decided that it would be in the best interest of the company to incorporate a division called Lorelei Designs. With our connections and help, Lorelei’s clothes would be in stores across the world. The bad thing about that was Lorelei was no longer going to be able to be my PA.
Garrett sighed as he sat down across from my desk.
“Here we go again, Jack.”
“Things will be different this time, Garrett. Clearly, you can see that I’m a changed man.” I winked.
Lorelei sat next to him and laughed.
“When you have a list of potential candidates, I would like to sit in on the interviews,” she spoke. “That way, I can help you decide who will and won’t be a good fit for Jack.”
“Sounds like a good idea to me.” Garrett smiled. “I’ll get to working on some interviews and I’ll let you know.”
We spent Thanksgiving at Lorelei’s parents’ house. Coco and Garrett spent the holiday with Garrett’s family in Tribeca. As for my mother, she flew back to Paris. She told us that since she was retiring from the business, she would probably be moving there since that was where Jacque was. That was music to my ears. I really just wanted her to be happy and if Jacque made her happy, that made me and Coco happy.
****
We arrived at the Grand Floridian and were escorted to the two bedroom suite I reserved us. Two bedrooms was a must if Lorelei and I wanted alone time together. The expression of happiness that overtook Hope was the best thing I’d ever seen. She was so happy and excited to be at Disney World. I had a surprise for her and it was something that even Lorelei didn’t know about. As we were settling in our room, there was a knock on the door.
“Hope, can you answer that please?” I asked.
“I can get it, Jack,” Lorelei spoke.
“No, baby. Let her answer it.” I smiled.
“What did you do?” she asked, narrowing her eye at me.
“Nothing.”
Hope opened the door and shrieked when she saw Cinderella standing there.
“Hello, little princess. Are you Hope?”
“Yes.”
I swear she was going to cry.
“I’m Cinderella. It’s so nice to make your acquaintance. I’m here to escort you to lunch and then spend some time with you and show you around my castle.” She held out her hand to her.
Hope stood there, frozen for a moment, and then turned to me and Lorelei with her mouth open, only no words were coming out.
“Go with Cinderella, Hope. We’ll be right behind you.” I gave her a smile.
I took hold of Lorelei’s hand, and as we followed behind them down the hall, Lorelei whispered in my ear.
“How the hell did you manage that? Oh my God, Jack. Did you see the look on her face?”
“I made a few calls. No big deal. And yes, I thought for a minute she was going to pass out.”
“How much did that cost you?”
“You don’t want to know, baby. You don’t want to know.”
She hooked her arm around me and kissed my cheek. There was no price too high for the happiness of my girls.
We had a private lunch with Cinderella and, after, she showed us around her castle. It was a wonderful trip and well worth every penny spent.

Three Months Later
Christmas had come and gone and it was the best Christmas holiday that I’d ever spent in my entire life. Spring was coming and Lorelei’s birthday was today.
“Where are we going?” she asked as we sat in the back seat of the limo.
“You’ll see when we get there.” I brought her hand up to my lips and softly kissed it.
Tony pulled up to the curb to 110 E. 64th Street and Lorelei looked out the window.
“What are we doing here?”
“You’ll see.” I smiled as I grabbed her hand and the three of us climbed out of the limo.
We stepped through the black wrought-iron gates and through the beautiful glass doors that led into a 6,300 square-foot home.
“Wow. This is beautiful. Who lives here?” Lorelei asked as she looked around the foyer.
“I’m hoping we will. The three of us.”
She laughed and I frowned. “What do you mean, Jack?”
“Happy birthday, baby.”
Her eyes grew wide as she looked at
me. I took hold of both her hands.
“I love you so much, Lorelei, and I want this to be our home. But only if you like it. Come on; I’ve been dying to show you this place.”
“Jack, I don’t know what to say.”
“Mommy, come look at this. It has an elevator!” Hope exclaimed.
“I’ll be right there, baby.”
I took Lorelei on a tour of the six-story townhome. The expression on her face filled me with joy as she stepped into each room. Hope ran through the house as if she had already made it her castle.
“Do you like it, Lorelei?”
“I love it, Jack.” She threw her arms around me and hugged me tight. “I love you! I can’t believe you did this.”
“Does that mean you’ll say yes to living here?”
“Yes. Yes. Yes!” she spoke with excitement.
I reached down and high-fived Hope. Lorelei narrowed her eyes at both of us.
“Did she already know about this?”
“Yes, Mommy, I did. Jack brought me here the other day. He explained to me that if you said you liked it, then that means I would have to switch schools, which is okay with me! I love this house. I already picked out my bedroom.”
“It’s perfect, Jack.”
Elaine, the realtor stepped inside the home and gave me a smile.
“Well, Mr. Sutton?”
“She loves it, Elaine. She absolutely loves it.”
“Excellent. All I need is your signature on this line and the house is yours.”
I took the papers from her and signed them on the kitchen counter.
“Welcome to your new home.”
Later that evening, I had another surprise for Lorelei. We dropped Hope off at her parents’ house and then I took her to the top floor of the Empire State Building.
“Why are we back here?” Lorelei asked.
“Why do you have to ask so many questions? Just go with the flow, baby. Just go with the flow.” I kissed her lips.
When we stepped off the elevator, I took Lorelei off to the corner to look out at the brightly lit city.
“It’s so beautiful up here,” she spoke.
“Not as beautiful as you are.” I reached inside my pocket and held the small blue box behind my back. “Do you believe in soulmates, Lorelei?” I asked.
