He loves me.
I was released from hospital two days later. They gave me two crutches to support me when I felt tired but hopefully I wouldn’t have them for long.
Zack and the twins picked me up and all the nurses buzzed around, saying goodbye to me but mainly to him. He had brought them chocolates and biscuits.
“Bye, Mr Cole. Bye, Jennifer.”
I could see them all looking at him and it made me giggle.
When we got home, Zack carried me up to my bedroom and then brought me up a pot of tea.
“Can I stay with you?”
“Yes. Why don’t we watch some rubbish television?”
We settled in and cuddled up together in my bed.
“How is the merger going by the way?”
“Really well, thanks. It’s all systems go.”
“That’s good news. It must be a weight off your mind.”
“It is and David has finally got his finger out and is doing some good work.”
“Are we going away tomorrow then?”
“We are. You need to pack enough clothes for a couple of nights and I will get you one of Phoebe’s swim suits.”
“Our trip sounds very interesting. I might not be able to do anything energetic yet. I am still aching all over,” I told him shyly.
“That’s okay. I don’t just want you for your amazing skills, JB. I can wait. It will probably kill me, though!” he laughed.
“I missed quite a few pills so I need to sort that out first. I don’t imagine you want a baby brother or sister for the twins.”
‘It wouldn’t be the worst thing that could happen. You would make a wonderful mother. We could just go the distance you and I. I really hope we do as I have never been happier.”
You won’t want me when this case is cracked.
Tears started to run down my face.
“What did I say? Don’t cry, baby.”
“I’m sorry, it’s just that you are so sweet.”
“Get some sleep now, you must be tired out.”
I snuggled into him and fell straight to sleep.
Chapter Twenty Four
After a night of broken sleep and dreams of gunshots and Billy lying in my arms, I managed to haul myself out of bed and hit the shower.
I was washing my hair when the shower door opened. I spun round and saw Zack standing completely naked. He looked very hot and very turned on. My eyes took in his impressive erection. I licked my lips at the lovely sight. My nipples stood to attention like they were tuned to Zachary Cole frequency.
“Mind if I join you, beautiful?” he asked softly as his blue eyes flickered over my naked body.
“Be my guest.”
“Can I wash your lovely hair, Jennifer?”
“Yes, I would like that.”
Zack washed my hair gently. His touch was so soft and caring. He touched my breasts from behind and the nipples puckered up to meet his touch. He turned me around and kissed me, his tongue probing my mouth urgently. I wanted him so much but I was worried that my body was not ready for him.
“Can we just fool around a little, Jennifer?”
He sucked my left nipple flicking his tongue across then he kissed my other nipple and continued down my soapy body.
“I have missed you so much, baby,” he told me gruffly.
He parted my legs gently and kissed my clit then he pushed his lovely tongue in as I moaned in the hot steamy shower. My body opened up to him as his tongue thrust really deeply into me. He licked and nibbled every single fold of me. I tightly gripped his head greedily to me.
His tongue was the most amazing tongue I had ever had the pleasure of knowing. My body convulsed around him as a wonderful orgasm swept through me.
“Yes, Zack!”
“I know we can’t make love but what about a hand job, Miss Black?”
“It would be my pleasure, handsome!”
I reached down to him and grasped him tightly. He leaned into my shoulder, groaning at my firm touch. I started to move my hand quickly and quite roughly up and down him.
“Do you like that, Zack?”
“I come undone every time you touch me, baby.”
I built up to a tantalising rhythm as he thickened deliciously. His jaw clenched and I knew he was on the edge. I quickly bent down and pushed him between my breasts as he came in thick hot spurts onto my neck and chest.
“Jesus. I really needed that!”
He grinned at me with a dreamy expression on his lovely face.
Zack looked so gorgeous with the water running down through his thick hair onto his beautifully irresistible face.
I brushed his hair back and kissed him passionately.
“Welcome home, JB.”
It was so good to be home.
Chapter Twenty Five
I packed a few things in a small overnight case for our weekend away. Reluctantly I packed my crutches but I felt fine without them. To say I was looking forward to getting away would be an understatement. I really needed to recharge my batteries after recent events.
We jumped into Zack’s Range Rover and sped off.
“When are you going to tell me where we are going?”
“You will have to wait, young lady!”
We turned off after about thirty minutes onto a one-track road. I spotted a sign for a private airfield. After a few more minutes, we pulled up at the side of a landing strip.
“Come on, Jennifer.”
A smartly-dressed man wearing aviator sunglasses came over to us and took our bags.
“This way please, Miss.”
I followed Zack over to a small plane and he gestured me to get in. I jumped in the cockpit beyond excited.
He leaned over me strapping me in securely and gave me a long kiss right in front of aviator man who shuffled around looking embarrassed. Zack hummed softly.
“Ready, Jennifer?”
“Yes,” I grinned at him like a kid on Christmas morning.
Zack started up the engine and we cruised along the runway.
After a few moments, we rose effortlessly into the sky.
“I had no idea you had your pilot’s licence.”
“There’s probably a lot we don’t know about each other, isn’t there?” he winked at me.
Yes, like the fact I am an undercover detective constable and you are a suspect in your wife’s disappearance. I had to look away from him.
“What’s wrong? Are you okay?” he asked me frowning.
“I’m fine, thanks,” I replied, smiling.
I really needed to focus and put these thoughts out of my head.
“Look, there’s the house!” Zack told me pointing to the left hand side of the plane.
“Oh yes!”
As we passed the house, I could see someone in the woods. They looked like they were up to no good. Whoever it was appeared to be skulking around a clearing on the North side.
I craned my neck to see if I could figure out what they were up to and who it was. The head had really dark hair. Was it the mystery man? After a few moments, I couldn’t see the woods any more. I tried to memorise the area that the unidentified person was in.
Zack didn’t seem to notice as he was concentrating.
“How long is the flight, Captain Cole?”
“About an hour, Miss Black, so sit back, relax and spread your lovely long legs for me,” he told me, running his hand up my thigh.
His hand felt warm as I buzzed with excitement. I parted my legs as he reached my pants. He smiled over at me as he slipped a finger into me then another. I took no time getting wet when I was with him. Zack moved them around as I looked into his eyes. He teased me to an orgasm and then took his fingers out, putting them in his mouth sucking them. He never took his beautiful eyes off me for a second.
“You taste gorgeous as usual, Jennifer. Let me see your lovely breasts now.”
I unbuttoned my short dress and took off my bra. His warm hand reached over and caressed my breasts gently. I closed my eyes and moan
ed, enjoying the sublime feeling. Looking over at him, I could see how much he wanted me.
“It’s your turn now. I want you in my mouth, now!”
“I was hoping you would say that!” he replied giving me a wolfish grin.
His eyes danced around twinkling in the low sunlight.
I reached over to him and touched the enormous bulge in his jeans. I unzipped his belt and released him, running my hand up and down, gripping him tightly.
“That is so good,” he murmured.
Leaning over, I licked him up and down, savouring him, enjoying his male magnificence. He certainly was really well-endowed. My tongue teased him relentlessly. I picked up the pace, moving my skilled mouth in the way he loved as he wrapped one hand into my hair, pushing my head down. I tightened my grip on him as he started to reach his orgasm. He pushed greedily into my mouth.
“Yes, Jennifer, that feels fucking amazing!” he shouted as he came hotly.
“That concludes the in-flight entertainment, Mr Cole!” I told him giggling.
“Well, one of your outstanding blow jobs certainly beats a film!” he laughed as his eyes twinkled.
After a long slug of water, I nodded off for a few moments, dreaming about Zack and I woke with a start as we commenced our descent. Looking around, I still didn't know where we were.
“It won’t be long now, Jennifer.”
We continued with our descent and Zack made a smooth landing.
Was this man good at everything? Yes, probably.
When the plane had come to a stop, Zack checked all the instruments and got out of his side, walking around to help me out.
“Careful how you go, baby,” he said, swinging me around.
“I still don’t know where we are.”
Another smartly dressed man stepped forward, taking our bags from us and putting them in a waiting Mercedes.
“Bonjour, Monsieur Cole.”
“Bonjour, Phillip” he replied, shaking his hand.
“So we are in France!”
“Oui.”
We got into the car and I snuggled into Zack. He smelt so good. I didn’t know what his aftershave was but he could probably advertise it.
The car sped out of the small airfield and I spotted signs for Paris as we travelled along.
After about thirty minutes, we entered Paris and we continued on into the centre.
We pulled up at The Savoy.
Wow!
Zack helped me out of the car and the driver collected our baggage. A porter came over and took the bags from us as
Zack led me to the reception desk.
“Bonjour, may I help you?” an attractive blonde asked him, clearly checking him out.
“Yes, I have a reservation for a suite under the name of Mr Cole,” Zack told the receptionist.
She tapped her computer and passed some forms for Zack to sign.
“It’s room 501 on the top floor. Your bags have already been sent up, Mr Cole,” she smiled at him, licking her lips.
I glared at her.
Back off bitch!
We took the lift and indulged in some passionate kissing. God, I couldn’t keep my hands off him. I just wanted more and more of him.
Our room was overlooking the Eiffel Tower and the view was spectacular.
“Wow, Zack, it is beautiful here. The view is to die for.”
“I know it’s lovely, just like you, Jennifer.”
“Would it be okay if I had a lie down? I am feeling really tired. It must be all the pain killers I am taking.”
“Yes, no problem.”
I crashed out on the bed and soon fell fast asleep.
When I woke up, I could hear Zack talking to someone on his phone.
“Look Chris, I have told you before, you need to act fast whilst you can. Stop messing around and just sort it or you will be looking for another job and I’m not kidding!”
What an interesting conversation. I kept my eyes shut so he would think that I was still asleep. He lay next to me on the bed and I could tell that he was really wound up. His breathing was heavy and he was fidgeting around.
I opened my eyes and stared at his stunning profile, admiring his beautiful features. His breathing evened out.
“What are you looking at, Jennifer?” he asked, turning and looking at me with those piercing blue eyes.
He propped his head up with one hand.
“You, you are so beautiful. I love your cute dimple and your hair is gorgeous. Your eyes are stunning. You are perfect, in fact. Heaven must be missing an angel.”
How corny did that sound!
I ran my finger along his stubbly cheek and he grabbed my hand and kissed it.
“You are sweet but I hate my dimple. I got teased at school about it. I am far from perfect, my nose is crooked and my forehead is too high. Also if my hair grows too long, it is curly!”
“Whatever. You could easily be a model. You are breathtakingly gorgeous, inside and out.”
He looked away from me, blushing.
“You are the beautiful one, Jennifer. Your face is stunning and I love your gorgeous big brown eyes. I get lost in them. They are the first thing I noticed about you other than your rocking body that is! Before we made love for the first time, I fantasied about it constantly.”
“Me too, it was pretty exhausting but boy was it worth the wait!”
“I couldn’t think of anything else and my work was suffering. When we actually made love for the first time, it was far better than I had ever imagined.”
He flushed as he looked into my eyes.
“I couldn’t stop thinking about you either. You turn me on more than anyone I have ever met and I really wanted you to sweep me off my feet and then you did.”
I took his face into my hands and kissed him lovingly again and again.
After a luxurious shower, I changed into a slinky red dress and high heels. Zack was dressed in a beautifully-tailored dark grey suit. His red tie complemented my dress.
“You look beautiful, Jennifer. Red really is your colour. It brings out your gorgeous eyes.”
“You smooth talker. You look very dapper in your suit. Good enough to eat!”
“I have booked a table in a small intimate restaurant around the corner. I hope you are hungry.”
“I’m starving!”
We headed to the lift and in the foyer, heads turned to admire Zack whilst I held on to his arm.
The restaurant was only a five minute walk away. It was beautiful and very expensive looking. Zack ordered some champagne but I couldn’t go too mad as I was taking a lot of painkillers.
We both ordered oysters for our starters but I didn’t think we needed any help in that department. I decided on a peppered steak for main course and Zack followed suit.
The champagne was delicious and I started to feel quite light-headed.
“Are you okay, Jennifer?”
I quickly gulped some water down.
“I’m fine. I just need to have some water to dilute the champagne. I’m not usually this much of a lightweight. It must be the drugs. My Northern heritage makes me able to handle my drink!”
“Ha! Take it easy then.”
The meal was delicious and Zack suggested going to a small jazz and blues club next door. We climbed down the steps and luckily found a table in the packed club.
Zack headed off to the bar to get us some drinks. Whilst he was gone, I noticed a tall handsome man leaning on the bar looking intently at me. He started to walk over to me.
“Good evening. I’m Alex. What’s your name?”
“Jennifer,” I told him cautiously.
He had thick dark hair and really big dark brown eyes. His chin sported stubble and he was certainly a head turner. Unusually, he stared at my breasts.
“You are certainly beautiful.”
“Thank you but I am with my partner. He will be back in a minute.”
“I’m only talking to you. Surely he’s not that insecure.”
“You seem to be hitting on me.”
“So what if I am? Would you like to dance?”
“No thanks,” I replied, seeing Zack standing behind him.
“What do you want?” Zack shouted in his face looking down at him.
“Hello, Zack, long time no see.”
“I have got nothing to say to you, Alex.”
Clearly there was no love lost between them.
“I must say, your lady friend is stunning. I bet she is a right goer!”
“Just fuck off, Alex, before I do something I might regret!”
“Mind you, Phoebe was a great lay, wasn’t she, Zack! A right whore in the bedroom or anywhere for that matter!”
Before I knew what was happening, Zack had punched him square in the jaw. Alex went down taking the contents of the table with him. A burly security man came over and grabbed Zack.
“Take your dirty hands off me!” he shouted, pushing him away.
He looked livid.
“Zack, let’s just go.”
I grabbed his hand and we made our way up the stairs. I turned around, realising that Alex was right behind us. His lip was bleeding.
“Wait there, you bastard!” he shouted.
I thought he should walk away now. Zack turned around to face him. His eyes were blazing.
“I told you to leave me alone!”
We burst out of the doors and Alex lunged at him but Zack side-stepped and Alex ended up in a heap on the ground. He got up quite quickly and managed to briefly make contact with Zack’s face but Zack was much too quick for him and punched him square on the jaw.
Alex went down again as a crowd gathered around the impromptu boxing match. A police siren wailed in the distance.
This kind of publicity was not what Zack needed right now.
“Zack, leave him. You have shown him. Let’s go.”
I grabbed his arm but he turned and looked at me. It was like he didn’t see me. His face contorted in pure anger. He roughly shrugged me off and I moved away, feeling frightened of him. Alex took another blow this time to his stomach as Zack continued his assault. His hair hung into his face as sweat ran down his cheeks.
“Zack, stop! Please listen to me!” I screamed.
He looked round at me and the green mist seemed to lift.
