My Life With Kate (Jack Ryker Book 3)

by M T Stone

  “Guys have it so easy,” Kate relented. “If you were a woman they would be measuring, pinning and marking for another forty minutes.”

  “That’s the main reason I chose to be a guy,” I replied, “that and the whole childbirth thing.”

  “I’ve already decided I’m going to have an epidural,” Kate replied confidently.

  “You’ve got it all figured out huh?”

  “Yeah, it’s one of those things in life that I wanted to have figured out in advance. I don’t want any last minute surprises.”

  “That’s probably a good idea. So, when are you planning on having these kids?”

  “As soon as you get these boys working again,” she said sliding her hand along my crotch.

  If we had a kid right now, I would be seventy two at their college graduation. That’s assuming they made it out in four years. I would probably be about seventy seven when they got married and eighty when they had a child. At least I would make it until their twelfth birthday, which is something that my grandfather didn’t do.

  “Did I lose you?” Kate grabbed me around the waist.

  “No, I was just thinking about how old I’ll be when our kids graduate from college.”

  “Well, just remember to subtract twenty for that workout you’re doing.”

  I couldn’t quite tell if she was being sincere or not, but if we were going to raise kids together it was going to take lots of energy. On the surface, the idea of having children at this stage in life made me a little queasy, but I knew we would have plenty of help. We’ll get teachers, tutors, nannies or whatever else the kids need. I already have a crew of fifteen just to keep the yacht running, so what’s a few more.

  It seemed strange that only a year earlier when Brandon graduated from college, I had thought I was done raising kids. I never would have dreamt that nine months later I would be talking about having more. I wouldn’t change a thing though. I put my arm around Kate and pulled her close as we walked up to our hotel. I was looking forward to an hour or two of relaxation before dinner and the ballet.

  As I unpacked my bags I couldn’t help feeling a little underwhelmed by what I had gotten for nearly $12,000. The pieces were beautiful, but something in the back of my mind just hadn’t quite made the leap yet. Even my simple little wedding gown was going to be over $35,000 by the time it was altered. In school we learned that haute couture gowns could easily be twice that much, but those were usually much more embellished than the one I chose. I could’ve easily gotten one like mine off the rack.

  “You don’t look very happy for someone who just got fitted for a wedding dress and bought a beautiful outfit to wear to the ballet tonight,” Jack commented.

  “The ballet?”

  “Yes, I acquired box seats for Romeo and Juliet at Teatro alla Scala tonight,” he smirked holding up his phone to show me the tickets.

  “Romeo and Juliet is my absolute favorite! Thank you!”

  “You’re more than welcome. Now I better not see another scowl for the rest of the trip.”

  “I’m sorry. I didn’t realize I was scowling. I just can’t get used to things being so damn expensive all the time. We spent almost $50,000 this afternoon.”

  “And?”

  “What do you mean and?”

  “And what’s your point?” A little irritation crept into his tone.

  “That’s well over half of my mother’s salary for the whole year!”

  “And that ring you are wearing is about five or six times what she has made in her entire lifetime,” he added for drama.

  “That’s what I mean, it’s ridiculous! There’s no reason for me to be wearing something like this.”

  “And there is also no reason for you not to be wearing it,” he replied very calmly. “Go get ready. We’ll have some dinner and go to the ballet. Then tomorrow I have an assignment for you.”

  “What kind of assignment?”

  “I’m not going to tell you until morning, so don’t bother asking.”

  As I went to get ready it felt as if Jack had taken it as a personal insult just because I thought things were overpriced. I knew $50,000 meant nothing to him, but it was outrageous for someone who had normally had a checking account balance in the double or even single digits. It’s going to take a while for me to adjust I guess.

  I began to reflect on the fact that other than a nice line of bikinis and a few outfits, I really hadn’t done any shopping since our first few days together. Of course we haven’t really been anywhere to do any shopping. I’ll start shopping more once our vacation is over.

  To make Kate feel better I took her to a restaurant that was a favorite of the locals. It was a quaint little place, but my Trip Advisor app confirmed that it had some of the best food in Milan. They had porcini mushroom crusted tenderloin with a truffle butter sauce on the menu, so I was all set. We were the most overdressed couple in the place that evening, but I made up for it by ordering a twenty dollar bottle of Chianti.

  “See, I’m capable of enjoying a thirty dollar meal and a cheap bottle of wine. I haven’t completely forgotten my roots,” I commented as we exited the small restaurant and headed down the street to the theater.

  “Thanks. It’s nice to feel a little bit normal once in a while,” she replied with a shallow smile. “Everything doesn’t always have to be so extravagant.”

  I hadn’t aspired to be normal for as long as I could remember. Ever since discovering how the business world worked, I had shaken off all thoughts of living an average existence. That was the exact reason why I had something planned for Kate the following morning. If she was going to be a fashion designer and be part of building a world class business, she couldn’t be afraid of spending money.

  Once we entered the theater and were ushered to our box seats, Kate’s demeanor quickly returned to what it had been earlier in the day. Our seats were amazing and I kept to myself the fact that I had paid $5500 apiece for them. Kate had told me on our first date how much she loved Romeo and Juliet, so it was worth every dime. As the show began, I was glad that she was sitting to my right because I enjoyed watching her facial expressions much more than the show itself. She’s the most beautiful woman I’ve ever known when she has a smile on her face.

  Her new dress and heels looked fantastic on her. I loved the way the crystal mesh sparkled when the lights hit it and how the silky black material contrasted with her tan legs. By the time we reached the second intermission I was ready to go back to the hotel. Considering how much Kate was enjoying the show however, I knew that wasn’t an option.

  Kate

  The city of Milan, the beauty of the theater and the incredible ballet performance left me in an absolute state of bliss. The whole time I was wishing that Belinda could’ve been there, as she would’ve appreciated it even more than me. Hopefully we can bring her along sometime. I could tell that Jack wasn’t nearly as appreciative of this type of entertainment, but he was a good sport. Whenever he seemed to be getting restless I would stroke his leg a little to keep him at attention. He seems to really be taken with my new dress. Maybe it was worth the $3500 price tag after all.

  “Let’s walk over to the Duomo,” I suggested as we left the theater. “Amelia said the view from the terrace is the most romantic in the city.”

  “Sure. You do realize that Duomo is a huge Catholic Church right?”

  “No, she didn’t mention that.”

  “I just wanted to make sure, because I don’t normally correlate a church with romance. The building however, is truly spectacular.”

  As we approached the plaza I immediately saw what Jack meant. It was one of the most amazing buildings I had ever seen. It must have had a dozen peaks just on the front alone. The way the lights hit the building at night made it look even more majestic.

  “Let’s see how we can get up on the terrace.” I grabbed him by the hand and led him around the side of the church.

>   After finally finding our way onto the roof, we strolled along the quiet corridors. It was fun to see an aerial view of all the amazing buildings we had driven past during the day. Most of them were all lit up against the backdrop of darkness. Once we had made our way completely around the rooftop, we stopped to take in the view of Teatro alla Scala where we had spent most of the evening. I really love this city.

  “The only thing more beautiful than this view… is you.” Jack looked me directly in the eyes and gave me that sly smile.

  “This reminds me of our date night in Paris.”

  I felt a tingle run through me as his lips connected with mine. I had to agree with Amelia, it was an incredibly romantic spot. I began to wonder how many other couples had lost control of their inhibitions on top of that beautiful cathedral.

  “I think we better go back to the hotel before we do something stupid,” Jack whispered as he pulled back slightly. “You’ve been turning me on for the past several hours.”

  “Yeah, you seemed a little distracted.”

  “I think obsessed would be a better word for it.”

  “You’re right, we better go.”

  Jack

  I was actually a little uncomfortable by the time we started walking back to the hotel. I’m not exactly sure what was so intoxicating about the situation, but Kate had me more aroused than ever. It could’ve been the beauty of the night in a gorgeous city, but I think it was actually the idea that she would soon be my wife. After Eva was killed, I had assumed my married days were in my past. Even though friends and family told me that I would find another, I never put any credence in those words. Now I had a woman in my life that simply blew me away and made me feel things that I had never felt in my entire life. Even though she has some growing to do, she is by far the most incredible woman I’ve ever met.

  “Careful,” she whispered as I practically tore her dress off the moment we entered our suite.

  “I’m sorry, but you have been driving me crazy all night.”

  “Actually, I was watching the ballet. I think you’ve been driving yourself crazy,” she surmised as I unclenched her bra.

  “Either way, you are going to pay for it.” I slid her panties down over her hips and let the fall to the floor.

  “You like me taller don’t you,” she said looking down at her remaining black pumps.

  “I actually like the fact that you aren’t very tall, but you look sexy as hell in those shoes.” I led her over to a chair and had her kneel on it. “I just want to admire you for a second.”

  “I think you need to get rid of your clothes.”

  I didn’t reply, but instead began running my fingers down the length of her spine. A small stream of goose bumps popped up as she shivered slightly in reaction to my light touch. “You are so fucking sexy,” I whispered as I lifted her slightly placing one knee on each arm of the chair. I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted to do to her at that point in time, but I definitely wanted it to be memorable.

  Kate

  It was a little bit unnerving to be completely naked and kneeling before Jack, while he was still fully clothed. I had to wonder what was coming next as I rested my elbows on the back of the chair in an attempt to get comfortable.

  “I just want to eat you up,” he cooed as nuzzled my neck and reached around to tease my fully erect nipples.

  “You go ahead and eat whatever you want.”

  He let one hand slide down the front of my body as he continued to kiss my neck and shoulders. I could feel my juices explode as he slid a couple of fingers along my folds. He bit down slightly on my neck causing me to jump.

  “You better not be giving me a hickey,” I warned. To which he simply laughed.

  He continued to stimulate my clit as he slowly kissed his way down my back. I felt my nipples get hard once again as his lips and tongue traveled down along the center of my ass. He changed positions behind me and felt him between my legs. I glanced down and met his eyes as his tongue took my clit by surprise. I lowered myself slightly, pushing my tender flesh against his lips. Mmmm, that feels so good. He pushed his tongue inside me as I spread my legs as far as possible without hurting myself. I felt his hands gripping my ass as he increased the intensity with which he was sucking and licking my excited pussy. It made me even more excited knowing that Jack wouldn’t let up until he had worked me into frenzy.

  Jack

  I could feel my cock straining against my clothing as Kate’s body began to go rigid. Resisting my urges for the moment, I kept my cool and continued to make love to her sweet pussy with my lips and tongue. I was in no hurry. We had all night to make love. Her legs began to shake more violently as my tongue traveled the entire length of her slit before sucking her clit into my mouth once again. I absolutely love driving her crazy like this.

  “Fuck Jack, what are you trying to do to me?” She cried as I sucked and nibbled on her most sensitive flesh.

  I’m driving you mad, just like you did to me all evening, I thought to myself as I continued my pursuit. She began to squirm, but I held her tight and continued to orally make love to her. She reached down and grabbed my hair in an attempt to control me, but I simply ignored the pain.

  “Oh fuck, oh fuck, aauuugghhh!” She screamed as she released everything and her juices flowed onto my tongue. She bucked and pulled at my hair as I continued to suck on her pussy long past her point of climax. I reached down with one hand and undid my belt and pants. With one quick motion I lifted her up and slid her down into my lap.

  “Jesus, you throw me around like nothing,” she panted.

  “You aren’t exactly heavy,” I laughed as I flipped her onto her back and shed my pants.

  My dick had been yearning for the past several hours, so I held nothing back as I plunged into her as deeply as possible. She immediately gasped and her body went rigid once again. Loving that response, I immediately began to fuck her long and hard. All the sexual energy that had been building up during the night was behind each and every stroke. She continued to moan in a steady stream as I continued to pound her juicy pussy. I felt like an animal that had just been sprung from my cage, as I squeezed her tightly in my arms and made love to her with as much passion as I could muster. The floor provided the firm foundation that I loved so much, allowing each thrust to have the maximum possible impact.

  She gasped and moaned incessantly, as I desperately sought to join her in a much needed climax. With each stroke I could feel it building, but I just couldn’t get over the top. I continued to thrust into her and savor the feeling of her snug pussy walls hugging against my engorged cock. Suddenly she came once again and her grip around my cock tightened dramatically.

  “Oh fuck that feels incredible,” I mumbled as I immediately knew my time had arrived. After a few more mind blowing strokes I finally joined her and came so hard that it actually hurt for a couple of seconds.

  “That was amazing,” I gasped as I rolled onto my back and pulled her on top of me.

  “What?” she asked with a dazed look in her eyes.

  “That was amazing,” I whispered putting my arms around her and holding her tight. “You are amazing. I never thought I could love anyone the way I love you. When I stop and think about how much you’ve changed my life, I’m simply blown away. I want to share everything with you. I don’t want you to worry about anything. You and I will have a perfect life together.”

  “I hope so,” Kate smiled and snuggled further into me.

  There we were naked and spent, lying on the floor of a five star hotel in the middle of Milan. It was a little crazy. It was wonderful. It was utter perfection.

  Kate

  Sometime during the night, Jack must have carried me to the bed because when I awoke everything was warm and comfy. That was the most incredible sex we had ever had and all those things he said afterwards left me in a state of sheer bliss. I wasn’t sure if the fact that he wanted to share everything with me made me feel better or actually scared me a bit. For some rea
son the thought of all that money seemed to make me feel uncomfortable. I’m sure it has to do with my dad, I thought. No other reason made any sense. Why would anyone be scared of money?

  “Why such a serious look so early in the day?” Jack asked as he opened his eyes and caught me deep in thought.

  “Oh it’s nothing. I was just thinking about last night.”

  “And that brought back the scowl?”

  “No, it was wonderful and the words you said to me afterwards were even more amazing. I’m glad you feel that way, because that’s exactly how I feel about us too.”

  “But?”

  “I was just thinking about how you said you wanted to share everything with me and for some reason I honestly feel more comfortable knowing the money is yours. I know it might seem stupid, but thinking about all that money being half mine makes my stomach turn.”

  Jack simply smiled. “Relax sweetie, I’m not going to make you manage half of my wealth or make any stressful decisions. I just wanted you to know, there will be no prenuptial agreement of any kind.”

  “What does your lawyer say about that?”

  “He thinks I’m nuts, but that’s okay. He works for me. If I had any doubts about your intentions, I never would’ve proposed to you in the first place. I have no doubts about us.”

  “Me either!” I reached out and squeezed him tight.

  “Besides, I’m actually a little thrown by your frugality. Why would you be so concerned about spending a few thousand dollars? We’re in Milan for Christ sake!”

  “I don’t know. Those prices just kind of pissed me off. I guess part of me was relating it back to the fact that I used to work my ass off for twelve dollars an hour. It would’ve taken me seven weeks to make enough to pay for that little black dress.”

  “But that’s no longer the case. Once you own half of my stock, you will make several million each time it goes up a dollar,” he smirked.

  “See that’s the kind of thing that makes me nervous. What if the stock market crashes?”
