one room?

could be an interesting night, although knowing jack he'll sleep in the car or something equally chivalrous

cath

I bet Myles did ask for only one room and they won't have anyway to communicate with the lady to fix the mistake. Oh -- I can't wait.

kav

Wow! Myles is good at setting up Jack and Sue! LOL!

“Myles!” Tara exclaimed. “Tell me you just didn’t set Jack and Sue up!”

“Moi?” feigning indignation.

“What did he do, luv?”

“I took French in high school”, she informed the guys. “And I may not have been very good at it, but I remember how to count to five ... and I failed to hear deux.”

“Deuce?” Bobby repeated. “Isn’t it two?”

“Yes”, making her point. “You didn’t ask for two rooms, did you, Myles?”

“See, I knew I was missing something”, regretfully shaking his head. “Told you my French was rusty, but you didn’t seem convinced.”

“Mate, Jack is going to kill you.”

“I like to think he will gratefully thank me instead.” He smirked, ignoring the dubious look Bobby and Tara exchanged.

I guess we'll have to wait and see!
I can't wait to see Jack's reaction when she leads them to the one room!

Yep, a big thank you will to Myles when this is over. Lucy sure doesn't have anything on him in this fanfic.

Thank you Myles, that was a good idea, I'm sure! Jack and Sue's reactions are gonna be priceless!

Can't wait to read the moment when the woman will give them only ONE key!

Yes, I get the feeling that Jack is not going to be all that put out by Myles!!!

Joy

I dont think jacks going to mind,
he should thank myles for giving,
him a chance with sue; and i would
just love to see sues face when she
finds out its just the 1room lin

Myles is so much fun! And I bet the room will be intimately cozy and aren't European beds smaller than American measurments???? Hmmmm...this should be very interesting.

Knowing Jack and the Boy Scout that he is, he'll probably give Sue the bed and he'll sleep on the couch or the floor or in the bath tub.

Good try, though, Myles.... Maybe some good will come from this.

I see you're there Marlo! Can you give me a post before I go to bed in 10 min??? That would be nice since I'll be gone all day tomorrow!

Jack took his credit card out of his wallet and offered it to the woman before she asked him anything.

“Monsieur Udson”, reading the name on the card. He nodded. It was close enough. “Adresse?” pointing at a form. He understood that part and filled in the blanks, adding Sue’s name beside his own. “Merci, monsieur.”

They waited until she finished processing the payment. The lobby was cosy, and opened onto the dining room. They could smell the aroma of fresh bread baking.

“It makes me hungry”, Sue murmured, reading his mind.

“I have a feeling breakfast will be delicious.” He touched her arm when the woman cleared her throat.

“Par ici, s’il vous plaît”, inviting them to follow her.

They went up a narrow staircase. Pictures of the countryside were hanging on the walls. She took them to the last room on the second floor.

“J’espère que vous aimerez”, opening the door for them. The room was painted light pink with a dwarf version of a double bed in the middle covered with a handmade quilt, and two antic dressers, one with a mirror. Jack and Sue exchanged a confused look. They couldn’t see a second door leading to a second bedroom.

“Excuse me, madam, but ...” gesturing towards the bed while encompassing himself and Sue.

The woman’s eyes fell on the towels at the foot of the bed.

“Deuxième porte sur votre gauche”, indicating the second door on the left in the hallway. “Bonne nuit”, leaving them two keys before heading downstairs.

“I’ll go check the other room”, he told Sue.

She watched him open the other door and paused, his expression unreadable. Puzzled, she approached him.

“Is something wrong, Jack?” she asked quietly in case the other rooms were occupied.

“I guess you could say that”, taking a step back so she could have a look.

Wow, that response was fast! Thanks a lot! That was funny, can't wait to read more!

I knew it! The other room is th bathroom right??

I agree with Levi Rocks. It's the bathroom, isn't it??? Myles is so dead....

Ohhh this is too funny!! I give Myles an A in matchmaking!! I can't wait for this!!!

Yep, I bet it's a bathroom too!

I'm sure, after all their travels, they are exhausted. What could happen with them sharing a bed????

Ahh, flip!!! Tired people are not always themselves!! So glad you posted. I knew Myles might do something to the hotel sleeping arrangements!!!!



Yup, Myles Matchmaker!!!!!!

Great post, and I actually understood most of the French, which is good for me!!

Jenny

Now I'm waiting for the

kav

myles may have an A for matchmaking but jack may give him a D for dead after this,

still think he'll end up sleeping in the car but i could be wrong

cath

hope its the bathroom they are looking in,
and they are too tired em,em, dont let him.
sleep in the car please ; there laws could be,
differant Jack may get arrested and we dont wont
that do we lin

No, I'm keeping my faith in Marlo!! I don't see Jack being real upset about this and I don't see him sleeping in the car!!!

Marlo, is there anything yellow showing up soon???

Joy

This little smiley is yellow "

+++++

“The washroom?” she whispered incredulously.

“It would appear so”, wondering if it was an honest mistake or if Myles was somehow responsible. Maybe they got the last room, he reasoned, hoping Myles was above such shenanigans. “Sue”, placing his hands on her shoulders. “I will go talk to the matron and try to settle the misunderstanding.”

He expected her to be upset, instead she chuckled, her eyes shining mischievously.

“And how are you planning on doing that?” meeting his gaze.

“I ... I don’t know”, letting her go to run his fingers into his hair. “I could sleep in the car”, he offered.

“Jack, I’m sure you’re as tired as I am”, she rationalized. “I can share ... as long as I get first break at the washroom. Deal?” signing the last word before she faltered.

‘Deal’, he signed back. “I will go get our luggage.”

“I will take a shower”, returning to the room to get her towel, as he took the opposite direction.

The matron was nowhere in sight when he passed the lobby, giving him no opportunities to correct the situation. He set their bags by the dresser and came to stand by the window. The night was upon them. Fear of rejection and anticipation of closeness mixed within him. His musings stopped when he heard footsteps.

He gasped at her sight. She was wrapped in a bright oversized yellow towel. Her hair caressed her bare shoulders as she moved her head, intently searching her bag for appropriate nightclothes. He saw her pull out a skimpy baby blue nightie, and grinned. She wasn’t aware of his presence yet. He knew he needed to announce himself before she changed in front of him, or she would be mortified.

He walked towards her before kneeling by her side. He still startled her, and she dropped the nightie. Suddenly very self-conscious, she blushed a nice shade her red, avoiding his gaze. He lifted her chin and softly brushed her skin.

“If you’re done I will take my turn.” She nodded, his proximity flustering her. “See you later”, leaving her before he gave free reign to his primeval instincts.

wow now for the fuzzies please
I knew we could trust you marlo
loved it lin

That was so good Marlo29!!! I loved Sue's reaction and what Jack's instincts were telling him!!!

Jenny

Ah! So the yellow has finally shown it's presence. Will the fuschia or baby blue be showing up in this story too?

I knew it, I just knew it!!! Marlene, you simply can't write a story without adding some yellow and baby blue can you? Mind you, I'm not complaining at all!!!
Jack, there's no need to run! Just follow your 'primeval instincts' as long as it involves Sue!!!

The lights were turned off and the curtains had been pulled together, leaving only a crack between the ruffled fabric through which the streetlights weakly shined.

He made out her silhouette on the further side of the bed. He slipped between the sheets as carefully as he could, not wanting to disturb her slumber. He took his time, taking a long cold shower, hoping she would be asleep when he joined her. Her breathing was slow and regular. Strangely he was disappointed his plan succeeded.

Restless, he propped himself up on his elbow, facing her. Once his eyes adjusted to the darkness he saw her more distinctively. Her back was to him, her hair spread on her pillow. He pushed a lock of blond hair, exposing a bare shoulder, the sheet not covering her up completely. A narrow strip, not matching the nightie he remembered seeing, crossed over her creamy skin. He skimmed his fingers on her shoulder down her arm, his touch lighter than a caress. She stirred, moaning softly. He was torturing himself even more than he was torturing her, sighing deeply. He dropped on his pillow, sending ripples through the mattress.

She shifted, rolling over, instinctively seeking the heat emanating from the body next to her.

Jack held his breath, waiting for her to settle down. He was dangerously close to the edge of the bed. A few more inches and he would be sleeping on the hardwood floor, something he had no intention of doing. He slithered back towards the middle of the bed, his arm sliding underneath her, gently moving her along with him. He didn’t consciously plan his move, but if he had, he wouldn’t have been more pleased by the results. She rested in his arms, cuddled next to him, her head over his shoulder. He caressed her back, delighted by the soft purring escaping her lips.

“Sweet dreams, my love”, he murmured. Contented, he closed his eyes, and met her in dreamland.

So far so good

Ahhhhh.... Sweet dreams, mes amis. Bon soir.

cath

yes WOW sweetdreams lots

Joy

Plus Jack's primevial instincts!!!


Just caught up! Ooh La La !!! She says in her worst french accent...

Ooh La La !!! Do I have such a reputation ???

+++++

Her warm breath tickled his neck, rousing him from his sleep. He instantly became aware of her curves perfectly moulded against his body. During the night his hand migrated under what he could see was a sea green tank top. It rested on her lower back, skimming the elastic band of what he assumed were boxer shorts. Much better than a nightie, he thought. For a second he was tempted to extricate himself in order not to embarrass her, but hers legs entwined with his blocked his escape. Might as well enjoy it, he figured, moving his hand up and down her spine in a feathery light motion. She stirred, snuggling even closer. Her hand, positioned over his heart, started a slow downward journey. He stopped her when she reached his stomach, her fingers teasing his exposed skin between his boxers and undershirt.

“Jack”, her voice softer than a whisper, her fingers closing around his as he brought her hand back to his heart.

“Am I in your dreams, my love?” peppering her hair with kisses, knowing the moment of truth was lying just around the corner.

For the second time this week her dream was so vivid. She could really sense his presence, feel his touch. She basked in the illusion, fighting the waves of consciousness assailing her. Only in her mind did he belong to her, and she wanted to hold on to him.

Her eyelids were twitching, sign she was gradually waking up. She moaned, sensually brushing her body against his. While tilting her head, her lips came in contact with his chin. The invitation was too tempting to resist. He trailed his lips from her forehead, down her cheek to the corner of her mouth. The tip of her tongue darted out, adding moisture to her lips, inadvertently brushing his. He followed her lead, retracing the path she just took, before he completely covered her lips with his. His tongue skimmed her teeth, teasing her into deepening the kiss. She obliged, losing herself in his arms as she responded in kind to his passion.

He rolled over with her until his body enveloped hers, his hands relentlessly seeking the texture of her skin. His restraint was rapidly eroding. He wasn’t sure what tipped him off that she suddenly became fully aware of their situation, the small gasp she emitted and that he swallowed immediately, or her body briefly tensing under his. He eased the kiss, gently pulling away, but keeping her trapped. He wouldn’t be retreating, not unless she forced him. Her eyelids fluttered.

“Good morning, sleeping beauty”, tenderly caressing her cheek. A myriad of expressions crossed her features. He ignored the surprise, the confusion, the embarrassment, the disbelief, the panic, to concentrate solely on the glimmer shimmering in the depth of her eyes. He forced himself to breath, knowing his next words would seal his fate.

“Jack”, she whispered, fear gripping her.

“I love you”, he whispered, giving her his heart.

wow



any chance you could post again in the next 10 minutes before i head for bed????????????


cath

WOW at last but what happend
to the baby blue;you know jack likes those
colours along with yellow loved it ,lin

Wow! What a way to wake Sue up!

I'd be more than happy to wake up like that any day of the week.... Wow....

What a way to wake up!! Then, on top of that, have him declare his love - perfect!!!

Joy

Wowzer! I think Lyon agrees with Jack!!!!!

Lovely declaration........How is Sue going to react? Huh? Huh? Huh?

I hope she repeats what Jack told her

“You do?” her eyes widening.

He couldn’t help but laugh at her stunned expression, mystifying her even more.

“I wouldn’t be spending the night with you and kissing you passionately if I wasn’t in love with you”, he pointed out reasonably.

“You wouldn’t?” rising her brow.

“No, I wouldn’t”, he affirmed, quite amused by her unexpected behaviour. “And as soon as you tell me you love me I will go back to kissing you”, trying to nudge her in the right direction.

“You will?” her raspy voice catching somewhere in her throat, feeling the heat rise to every part of her body.

“Maybe I should kiss you regardless?” grinning at her. She nodded imperceptibly, transfixed by the predatory glint in his eyes. He trailed his fingers along her hairline stopping near her ear. Cupping the side of her head, he leaned down, capturing her lips with his. She willingly responded, giving life to her fantasy. His declaration echoed in her mind, the three little words engraving themselves around her heart. She moaned when he left her lips for her neck, his bristled chin brushing against her tender skin. She held on to his undershirt, pulling on it as he intensified his attack on her senses. He was turning her world upside down. She groaned as he lifted his upper body from her. “Not going anywhere”, he assured her before taking his shirt off.

“I love you, Jack”, she murmured, her hands reaching for his bare chest.

“I gathered that much, my love”, smiling mischievously at her.

“Jack! You’re ...” shivering as his hand slid under her top. She met his gaze, recognising the unconcealed desire in his dark brown eyes, knowing it matched the reflection in her own eyes.

“I love you, Sue”, his expression conveying more than the words alone could ever do. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you sooner.”

“We’re both guilty of that, Jack”, beckoning him closer to her.

“If I kiss you again we’ll miss breakfast”, he warned her, wanting nothing more than to appease their hunger. She missed the huskiness in his voice but not the underlying allusion.

“I ... I love you, Jack”, torn between what she was taught was right and what felt right.

“Sue”, noting her hesitation. “The feelings we share are too precious to act upon impetuously. You set the pace, and I promise to follow you wherever you lead us”, sincerely committing himself to their new relationship.

“Would you kiss me again before we go down for breakfast?” her voice quivering with emotion.

“You like to play with fire, my love”, he teased her before he eagerly indulged her senses.

What a perfect bedtime post!!

Good Night!!!
