Well, Kav, I've learned from the best, believe me!

Okay, peoples, there's only one more post after this, but for now, enjoy!

She didn’t know it was possible, but the depths of his eyes darkened a shade more as she stared directly into them. Jack was never very good with words, but his emotions were all she needed; she was hearing him loud and clear. “Me too,” she whispered when she found his lips descending toward hers.

He wasn’t sure by what force this was happening, all he knew was that he didn’t want it to stop. There was no pulling away this time and there was definitely no backpedaling. Tonight was the night that he would make sure that everyone knew that Sue Thomas was his, even if it began with just a simple kiss.

His lips brushed against hers ever so lightly and shockwaves were instantly sent through both of them. It was but a brief test of the waters and he tried to ease away to gauge her reaction. All he needed was one simple sign that she wanted him to continue and he would oblige, whole-heartedly. He’d barely begun to pull away before he felt her hand at the back of his head, her fingers trailing through his hair and her nails sending chills from his skull to the very depth of his being.

Her taste was just as he remembered from their undercover assignment in the Dragon Lady’s office, but this was far from Callahan & Merced and this kiss was filled with so much more love and passion. Jack swore his heart would burst with love for her as her lips claimed his with a possessive ardor. He didn’t want to tear his lips away from hers, because he didn’t know what breathing was until his lips made contact with hers this time. He couldn’t get enough of the tentative teasing and nipping she was applying and he told her so with a deep rumble emitting from deep within his chest.

She’d been able to amaze him with her personality and her entire being, but he never knew how amazed he could be by her kisses. He knew he never wanted to give this up. He wanted it for always and forever. He wanted it until the end of time. This first real kiss was just the start of something new, but he was looking forward to the future as long as he was permitted her kisses for the rest of his life.

This was what she’d been waiting for. She didn’t hold back and she knew he wouldn’t either once she illustrated what she wanted from him. Her kisses had never been so bold before, but then again, she’d never been in love before. She loved Jack Hudson more than anything and the fact that he’d been willing to show her his heart in front of everyone in the room at this very moment made her heart soar.

Everyone… in… the room?

Something tells me that both Jack and Sue are going to be when they come up for air.

Oops! When Jack picks a moment...he really picks a MOMENT!!! Though I'm sure everyone is just as delighted as Sue obviously is!

YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! woohoo

cath

WAAAAAAAHEEEEEEEEEY.

Oh what fun!

Last post. It wasn't originally this long, but since I figured I coudln't go back on my promise, I give you the rest with the deepest thanks I can ever offer. You've made this challenge a real joy for me!

She suddenly pulled away to find the entire room filled with uproarious applause. Her cheeks now not only flamed with the heat from Jack’s kisses, but also from the embarrassment she was feeling at that very moment. She couldn’t believe she just let herself go like that in front of everyone. It felt both liberating and terrifying at the same time. This was all so new to her that she was overwhelmed. Tears pooled at her eyes and slowly trickled down her porcelain cheeks.

Jack was quick to wipe them away and with the gentle touch of his index finger, draw her attention away from those around her. This was their moment and no one else’s. He wouldn’t let anyone take this away from him. His lips pressed light butterfly kisses upon her forehead, traveling in a downward path between her eyebrows, then her nose, until he placed one last light kiss upon her soft lips. “I love you,” he mouthed so only she could see and “hear”. He wouldn’t have been able to voice the statement if he tried, anyway. She’d taken his breath away with her arduous matching to his kisses, so his voice had completely vanished from existence in that moment.

More tears sprang to her eyes and with an exasperated groan, she leaned her forehead against his. “I love you too,” she’d replied in the quietest of whispers. He’d taken her breath away with the gentleness of his kiss, but she knew what her heart wanted and that was Jack. Nothing would have stopped her from telling him that she loved him too.

He glanced around at their friends and teammates who were now watching them with the stupidest smiles he’d ever seen plastered on their lips, before they flitted back into the hazelnut depths of his true love’s eyes. “We have a lot of talking to do, don’t we?” His tone was quiet and unsure, but he didn’t tense up or try to pull away. This was where he wanted to be, with Sue in his arms forever and ever. No one would ever keep him from this heaven beside her.

She nodded as she took her lower lip between her teeth. She felt the quick exhale of his breath on her cheek and the rumble from deep within his chest. It never occurred to her the effect that simple gesture had on him. “Later,” she concluded as she raised her lips to meet with his once again.

Bobby smiled as Tara leaned against his side, his gaze flitting to Myles and Lucy who shared the same exact smile. This was what they’d been waiting on for so long. Finally, the shy FBI analyst and the turtle FBI agent had done what they were beginning to believe was impossible—reveal what was in their hearts.

As they watched in the most profound glee they’d ever experienced, they couldn’t help but think: This night had started off as a celebration of a milestone, but tonight was not simply a night to celebrate. It was a night to remember.

FADE OUT

beautiful ending

You stretched this out beautifully, keeping us right on the edge of our seats, waiting for Jack to make his move!! You have Jack and Sue so in character - I could see everything as if I was watching it on the screen!!!

Ornella

Absolutely beautiful, Linny! Perfect from beginning to end.

Kim

Wonderful story!!!

Thank you!

Ok, Linny, which was it that "cracked you up"? I need to know so I can use it on my family. They don't ever think I can say anything funny!

I'm trying to play catch up again and I see you have ended your challenge story. Ah, well, at least now I won't have to wait anymore. I've been absent b/c my email notifictions of posts quit working Sat morning an I didn't get them back until this afternoon. Talk about withdrawal!

9/1 Post - Okay, Jack, what is that one thing you can do? Huh? Huh? Tell us! Now! I can just see the sweat pouring off Jack's forehead as he longs to take Sue in his arms. He's afraid, but I can tell he's not going to be able to stop himself this time.

How sweet of Myles to get Lucy to teach him how to say his nice speech in ASL. And a wonderful side effect too, if it made him see the virtues of one smart, sassy, rotor.

On to read some more.

Well, Linny...I kept getting kicked off the RFF board after my last post until now. Here is the rest of my comments.

9/2 Post - AM - Oh, it was very difficult for me to breathe too, Linny. I could feel the tingling sensation go up my arm and zoom right down to the pit of my stomach!

Come on Jack! You can do it...I know you can! ..... er did!

9/2 Post - PM - Jaaaaacck!

9/3 Post - PM -

9/4 Post - Ohhhhhhhh! That is a wonder post to send a lovesick-for-her-own-Jack-kind-of-gal off to bed, Linny. Beautiful thoughts by not only by Sue and Jack but by the team!

This was a wonderful story from beginning to end, Linny. You kept us strung out very gracefully, wanting to shake some sense into Jack and then pounce he did! it was definitely worth the wait for that perfect ending! Definitely A Night to Remember!

Lynn

Wow that's an amazing ending! I'm glad that they finally got together!

What a delightful ending.

That was a beautiful love story! I think Jack and Sue should hand out little packages of turtles at their wedding in honour of their turtle FBI agent!
kav

It was a wonderful love story, Linny from the beginning to the end

Cisty

I liked this story a lot Linny!

Lovely story!

This is a story to remember!!! :wink:

what a great story from beginning to end. There was so many bits but I'd just like to mention a few...the teasing from Troy, to Bobby keeping a constant watch on his best mate to Jack acting like a teenager to declaring his love. In particluar the scene where they finally poured out their love for each other, making sure no one else could see, even in the midst of a party.

Great story overall!!!! Thanks for sharing.

Great love story with a more than satisfying ending! Thank you for sharing it!
