“You look amazing.” Moving closer to her he put his hands on her hips and pulled her against his chest.
She looked up at him and grinned. “I’m glad you like it.”
“I’m sorry I took so long on the phone but Oscar and I had an emergency to deal with.” Smirking at her he ran his hands over the soft fabric.
“He is a big help when you’re trying to work isn’t he?” Her fingers were slowly working on the buttons to his shirt. Teasing him as she undoes them.
Nodding dumbly he swallowed the lump in his throat while her hands worked their way down his shirt. “When I finally got him out of my chair and sat down, he hopped right up on my lap. I felt like the Godfather petting him while I yelled at people.”
His head fell back and he moaned when her soft hands parted his now open shirt and rand down his chest and over his abs. Next he felt her silken lips on his hot flesh. She kissed him all over and every so often her tongue would sneak out and tease him. Burying his hand in her thick beautiful hair he pulled her head up and kissed her hard his tongue battling hers.
“You make me crazy Jenna. The sight of you in your tight pants the way your hips sway when you move. All those smiles you give me, the smell of your shampoo and most of all those hypnotic eyes you have that seem to look right into my soul.” He finished his declaration with another kiss.
Jenna pushed his hands away and took a small step back. Her nails ran teasingly down his abs to his belt. Unbuckling his belt and then undoing his pants she never broke eye contact. He let her push his pants off leaving him there in just his boxer briefs.
She took in the sight of him standing in front of her in just his boxer briefs and smirked. God he was sexy she thought to herself. He opened his arms and she walked into them her lips placing a line of soft kisses across his chest and up his neck. She nibbled playfully at his strong jaw while his hands ran up her back to her shoulders.
Tyler pushed the straps to her nightie off and it fell to the floor. Jenna stepped out of her nightie and stood naked in front of him. He picked her up and placed her on the center of his bed. Crawling over her he gently laid with her kissing her neck and her lips, his hands exploring her soft sexy body.
“You are amazing princess.” He whispered as his lips hovered above her breasts.
Jenna shivered at the combination of his words, his touch and the feel of his hot breathe on her nipples. She reached out and ran her fingers through his hair. He kissed his way from her breasts to her belly button then looked up at her and smiled. Rubbing his hands on her thighs he pushed them apart and tasted her.
“Tyler.” His name was a whisper. She shivered and moaned.
Tyler brought her to the brink with his mouth. Looking up at her and smirking wickedly he pushed her over the edge. Jenna moaned loudly saying his name over and over.
Crawling back up her he cupped her face between his hands. Kissing her sweetly she whispered against his lips. “Tyler I’ve fallen in love with you.” His kiss deepened at her admission.
“That’s good princess because I took that fall a while ago.” Winking at her he stripped of his boxer briefs and they made love, slowly, sweetly, completely.
~~~~~
Jenna came away slowly. Lying with her cheek on Tyler’s chest, the rhythmic rise and fall of his chest while he slept was so hypnotic. Her one leg was hooked over one of his powerful thighs and her hand was resting on his abs. She could very easily get used to waking up this way every morning.
Slowly Jenna eased out of bed and walked naked to the bathroom. Seeing his robe on the hook she grabbed it and wrapped herself in it. After washing her face she looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. She could still feel his lips on her body. He made her feel sexy, safe and cherished.
Walking back into the bedroom she saw that her place at Tyler’s side was once again taken over by a small black fluff ball holding her finger up to her lips she told the dog to be good. She then made her way to the kitchen she started to prepare breakfast. Putting the coffee on and grabbing eggs from the refrigerator she realized she hasn’t stopped smiling yet. She could still feel Tyler, still hear his sweet words and still taste his skin. While she cut the fruit she heard Tyler call her name.
“Jen? Princess where are you?” The way he said her name made her shiver.
“I’m in the kitchen.” She called back moving around the kitchen.
Tyler walked in wearing just some pajama bottoms and stretching one arm over his head, the other arm contained a happy Oscar. “Is this the way of things? I fall asleep with you in my arms and wake up with him?” Scratching the dog’s head he looked around at what she was making.
“Do I have time to take Oscar out before breakfast?” He made her look at him with his fingers and kissed her.
“Yes but make it a quick walk. How do you like your eggs?” Licking her lips she went back to work flipping the bacon.
On his way down the hall throw on some clothes he yelled back. “Whatever you’re having I’ll have the same.”
Adding sugar to his coffee with one hand Tyler slipped bacon to his new best friend under the table.
“You know if you keep spoiling him like that he will never leave you alone, EVER.” Jenna laughed when she saw Oscar do his little dance that meant; give me more, give me more.
“It’s ok I like the little guy.” Watching her while she served up the scrambled eggs then sat across from him. “I could definitely get used to waking up with you in my arms every morning too.”
Unable to control her blush at the way he looked at her. As if he wanted to devour her. Jenna busied herself with putting fruit on her plate.
“I think I could too.” The admission she made had Tyler smiling from ear to ear.
“I hate to say it but I have to go into the office for a bit today.” He frowned at the thought of not spending the day with her.
“Well you do what you have to do and I will go to my studio. There is a piece I want to work on, when you are done come over. Oh, and I have a meeting with my Aunts lawyer also.” He frowned a bit.
“Isn’t her estate settled already?” Chewing some bacon he waited for her to finish her bite and reply.
“Oh yeah it was settled real fast seeing as how I’m her only living family. But she left everything to me and Adam has been the chef and manager of her café from the beginning he helped Emma build it. I felt bad that she left me the whole business so I am going to have some papers drawn up so that I can give a portion of it to him. What do I know about running a business anyway?” She finished her coffee and got up to get the coffee pot and pour herself another cup.
“Every time I think you can’t get any better you go and do something nice like that. You really are just the sweetest thing. A real one of a kind.” Winking at her he continued to eat his breakfast.
The couple showered together, making love slowly under the hot spray of the water, making sure to take the time to explore and learn every inch of each other’s body.
Chapter eleven
The lovers fell into a routine, spending some nights at Jenna’s home and some at Tyler’s. They would have breakfast together and discuss their plans for the day. He would go to the office and she would either do housework or go to her studio. They made dinner together, walked Oscar together and cuddled on the couch reading or watching TV and every night they would sleep in each other’s arms.
Jenna felt safe with Tyler. Her anxiety only made an appearance as she got ready for their weekend in Atlantic City. She packed with trembling hands and found herself growing more flustered as the departure time arrived. Tyler held her hand the whole way to South New Jersey, reassuring her and telling her some of the things she can expect since she has never been there.
“I won’t leave your side I promise. If you feel the littlest bit uncomfortable let me know and we can head straight up to the room and relax.” Kissing her neck he added. “Or we could go up to the room and not relax.”

The trip down was so nice he made her feel so at ease she actually dosed off cuddled into his side. When they were just about to enter Atlantic City he woke her with a kiss on top of her head.
“Jen baby wake up. Look at the city. That casino over there that’s the one we will be staying at. When we get there we will have about 2 hours before the show and I have arranged for you to go get your hair done or get a manicure, anything you want.” He entwined his fingers with hers and kissed the back of her hand as they drove up to the casino.
Two hours later Jenna and Tyler stood back stage at the concert. Tyler was wearing a pair of jeans with a white tee shirt and a black blazer. Jenna was wearing a pair of black leggings and a pink form fitting tee shirt with the bands logo on it and her favorite red high heels. She was luminous she had gotten her hair done, it was done in a nice French braid and she had also had her nails done.
Tyler couldn’t keep his eyes off her. She was clapping and smiling and dancing to the music and singing along.
Every time the one guitarist would come off stage to change guitars he would wink at her and smile. Tyler wasn’t too fond of that but he was happy to see her having fun. He knew that this trip was a first for her and it was a big step for her to do something like this.
After the second encore they went back to meet the band. She was absolutely giddy.
“Oh my god! I can’t believe you arranged this! I can’t believe I get to meet the band. I have been a fan of theirs since I was 13 years old.” Stopping in her tracks on their way back she grabbed him by the lapels of his jack and pulled him close whispering against his lips. “You are so getting lucky tonight.” Kissing him passionately they then went to the designated room.
The band members were so nice. The guitarist who was winking at her during the show gave her a hug and was talking to her. Although when Tyler came over and put his arm around her he did back off. They all signed her shirt and posed for pictures. The whole way back up to the penthouse she gushed about how much fun she had.
“I can’t thank you enough. I mean not only did you make me feel safe enough to let loose and have fun so far from home. But you made possible for me to meet a band I have loved since I was a kid. How did I get so lucky, having you as a boyfriend?” Kissing him and holding him close.
“I would do anything to keep that smile on your face. You are amazing. I want to give you the world. I want to get you to do everything you ever dreamed and take you to all the places you long to go.” He held her close to his side and when the elevator doors opened they stepped into the penthouse suite.
“How about you go get us something to drink and I go run us a nice hot bubble bath in that small swimming pool they call a tub.” Smirking when he nodded she walked away.
He watched her leave the room noting how good those heels made her already amazing ass look. Tyler went over and opened a bottle of champagne and grabbed two champagne flutes. Taking his time he walked through the bedroom to the bathroom. She was standing there pouring some bubble bath into the running water. She had stripped out of her clothes and was wearing one of the hotel bathrobes.
Tyler poured the each some champagne. “To you Jenna. My princess, my joy and my love.” She blushed at his toast and sipped her champagne.
He put his glass down and stripped then settled in the tub. She dropped the robe and got in and sat back leaning against him. They luxuriated in the warmth of the bubbles and the feel of the jets gently pushing the water around them for who knows how long.
Jenna was the first to get out. Tyler watched her as she took a towel and dried her body. She knew he was watching and took her time teasing him. She put her right foot on the ledge on his left and ran the towel up her leg slowly then repeated the action with the other leg. Slowly running the towel over her abdomen and up over her breasts before drying each arm.
When she was done teasing him she wrapped the towel around herself and left the bathroom.
“Well I don’t know about you but I am beat. I think I will turn in for the night.” It took all her strength to keep the laughter out of her voice and not look back to see his reaction.
She did however hear the splashing water and him curse to himself when he stubbed his toe coming after her. He had haphazardly dried himself off; he came up behind her and grabbed her upper arm turning her to face him. He looked so serious. Tyler pulled the towel off her in one swift movement letting it fall to the floor at their feet.
“Oh I don’t think so princess. You teased me all night in those skin tight pants and oh so high heels. Not to mention letting what’s his name the guitar player get nice and smiley at you.” He sat on the bed looking up at her.
Resting her hands on his shoulders she looked at him with a pout. “Poor Tyler. Were you jealous of the fifty something rock star?”
Kneeling in front of him she smirked. Her eyes never left his when her hands ran up and down his muscular thighs. She saw his sudden intake of breathe when her hand wrapped around him. She teased him slowly. Finally leaning in to taste him and tease him. He had his hand gently in her now loose and wavy hair.
Jenna took her time pleasuring her love. Bringing him to the highest heights of pleasure and back down again before letting him find his fulfillment.
Slowly she got to her feet and straddled his lap kissing him deeply.
“I love you Tyler.” She couldn’t contain how happy she was when she was with him and she always glowed when she expressed her love for him.
“I love you princess.” Holding her. He lay on his back and rolled over taking her with him.
They made love many times throughout the night and slept well into the next afternoon.
Chapter twelve
The next afternoon Jenna sat on one of the couches and stared out the window sketching wildly. Beside her was a cup of coffee and a half eaten pork roll egg and cheese on a hard roll. Tyler was on the phone with his brother regarding a business matter in the London office. While he talked to his brother and tried to work out the problem at hand, he couldn’t stop watching Jenna. She got this intensely passionate look on her face when she worked on her art.
Tyler realized that his whole life he has been on the quest for the ultimate adrenaline high. Meanwhile he never felt as high as he did when he was with Jenna. She was so passionate in everything she did. She brought out this fiercely protective side in him. He wanted nothing but to make her happy and keep her safe.
“Alright Bryan I guess you are right. When we get back to the city I will make arrangements to fly out there in two weeks. Yes I am going to try and bring Jenna I just have to make sure she will be comfortable.” Hanging up the phone he walked over and sat next to Jenna.
“How’s it going babe?” He looked out the window and knowing he wasn’t seeing what she was seeing with her artistic perspective.
She handed him her sketch pad and sat back grabbing the rest of her sandwich. “I love the view. I have drawn the ocean many times, but never my own view of it. I can’t thank you enough for this.” She moved closer to him while he studied her work. She offered him a bite of her sandwich and he took it.
“You know I am more than happy to do this for you. I was kind of hoping you would do something for me too.” He saw her turn her head to look at him.
“You know I will try and do anything for you. With you by my side you make me feel like I can try anything.” She kissed his cheek and leaned against him to hear what he wanted.
“Well, I just got off the phone with Bryan and there is a problem in the London office. Some of the permits we need to expand the London hotel have fallen through and it would help things greatly if we were both there to find out what happened and appeal the decision.” He felt her go still and he held her tight, placing her sketch pad on the table.
“Jen you don’t have to go but I would love to be able to show you Europe. We can start with London. Bryan and veronica have offered to open their home to us, and of course we can
stay at the hotel if you prefer.” Kissing her temple he waited before continuing to see if she had any questions.
“I want to try Tyler I do but I have never been on a plane. I do have a passport but I never thought in a million years I would use it for anything other than another form of identification.” He could tell by the tremble in her voice she was scared but the lack of tremble in her body showed him she wasn’t completely against the idea.
“We will take the private jet. And if you feel ok after London we can go anywhere you want. Ireland, Scotland, France or even Italy and Greece.” He was getting excited at the possibility of literally showing her the world.
The two of them talked the whole way home about the impending trip. Jenna was petrified and made a mental note to make damn sure her anti-anxiety prescription was full and on hand for the whole trip. She normally didn’t like to take them seeing as how they were a narcotic and left her feeling like she was in a haze. Her medications were as necessary to her as diabetics were to them. She would always need them and has for as long as she can remember. However for the first time in who knows how long the unknown wasn’t completely paralyzing scary. She knew the flight would be hard and the crowds abroad would be harder. She knew Tyler would be there every step of the way holding her hand, and if she said she had enough he wouldn’t try to talk her out of it he would accept it and take her to a safe place.
