Nodding, his gaze moved from the dessert that had arrived, to her face. “Yeah. They get it. Each one has the same instinct inside of them. Protection. Making life safer, not only for those who can afford our private services, but for the criminal investigations we do as well. So yeah, these men get the name.” He held his thoughts for a moment and then decided to share one more bit.

“In fact,” he said, capturing her rapt attention. “Each one of them have their own medallion.”

Gifted with her smile, he breathed easier. He had been terrified to share anything, but instead had given her everything. So far nothing he said would ever put her in danger.And I’d protect her with my life,he vowed.

Finishing the dessert, they decided to walk around town a little to work off some of the meal. Placing her hand on her stomach, she complained, “I’m so full. It must be your storytelling, Jack, because I just sat there, listened, and stuffed myself!”

Pulling her in closely with his arm around hershoulders, he added, “A few pounds would not hurt you at all, babe.”With a discreet pat to her ass, he felt her giggle deep inside.

The town’s Main Street had lights in the trees that lined the sidewalk, casting a romantic glow over the pair as they strolled. Silent for several minutes, each lost in their own thoughts, they made their way back to his truck.

Looking down, he peered into her eyes, seeing trust shining back.

“Take me home, Jack?” she asked softly. Rising up on her toes, she placed a kiss on his lips. Rocking back on her heels, she continued to hold his gaze. “And stay with me?”

He cocked his head in question. “You sure, beautiful? You have to know what this means.”

“I know. I know exactly what I’m doing. You’re not a consolation prize.”

“Damn straight,” he growled, his voice raspy with need. “It won’t be casual and sure won’t be incidental.”

Smiling once more, she nodded toward his truck. “What’re you waiting on?”

Before she could ready herself, he swooped her up in his arms and had her ass planted in the seat and buckled. Trotting to his side, he quickly pulled himself up into the driver’s seat and was on the road.

“In a hurry, soldier?” she teased.

“You have no idea, baby,” he responded. Driving carefully, he pulled in front of the lodge.

By the time they made it to the lodge’s main room, they were jerking their clothes off quickly once more.She jumped into his arms, circling his waist with her legs. Latching onto his lips, she brought him in holding onto his silky, beard covered jaw.

Making their way upstairs, he placed her on the bed. Forcing himself to slow down, he said, “We got all night, baby. I want to savor every second.”

Melting at his words, she smiled giving him a little nod. He leaned over and slid her skirt down her legs, snagging her panties at the same time. Maneuvering them completely off he turned to lay them on the end of the bed. She had already lost her shirt on the way up the stairs, but he unhooked her bra and removed it as well, exposing all her beauty to his gaze.

His shirt had also been removed and he saw her eyes drop from his face to his medallion around his neck. He started to pull the chain over his head when she stopped him.

“Leave it, honey. It’s so much a part of you.”

“It could get in the way,” he explained.

She shook her head. “It’ll never be in the way.”

Smiling, he left it on as he shucked his pants after toeing his boots off. Crawling up her body, he kissed his way from her soft feminine curls upward to her breasts, where he feasted for a few minutes. He finally pulled away from their enticement and continued his path to her neck where he suckled at the point of her erratically beating pulse.

Making his way to her lips, he captured them, completely devouring her. Thrusting his tongue into her warmth he explored every crevice, his tongue tangling with hers.

Mindless with need, she pressed her body full frontal against his, feeling the evidence of his desire against her belly. Slipping her hand between their bodies, she grasped his cock in her hand, hearing him gasp in her mouth.

At the same time, she began to slide her hand up and down his length, his fingers moved in her slick folds before he plunged them deep inside her sex, now causing her to gasp as well.

It did not take long for him to move his body away causing her to lose purchase of his dick. “When I come, I wanna come inside of you, beautiful.”

His fingers continued to work their magic, lifting her higher and higher until she thought she could touch the stars. Leaning down, he grasped a nipple in his mouth, sucking it deeply.

With her head thrown back against the mattress, she knew she had reached beyond the stars. Her inner walls pulsated as they gripped his finger and with her eyes closed tightly the lights sparkled behind her eyelids.

Slowly, she came down and opened her eyes to see the medallion resting right in front of her. Jacques. Warmth flowed through her veins as she knew beyond a shadow of a doubt, this man was for her.
