Jenna was talking to her knew father in law and noticed her husband deep in thought. She smiled. He looked so handsome when he had that contemplative look on his face, as if he had to solve the problems of everyone around him. He really was a handsome man. She couldn’t believe how the fates had blessed her with him.
Just after sunset the happy couple hugged everyone goodbye and left for their honeymoon. Jenna had no idea where they were going and as much as that made her want to panic, she let Tyler have his secret. There was a limo waiting for them with all of their luggage from the hotel. Jenna simply added a white cashmere cardigan instead of changing because Tyler reassured her it wasn’t going to be a long drive.
Chapter eighteen
Once alone inside the car Tyler grabbed Jenna and pulled her onto his lap. Grabbing her left hand in his he held their hands so their wedding bands were on display.
“My wife.” Kissing her hand and holding her to him he just sat there with her. “I am going to make you happy Jenna, I swear I will.”
“I never doubted you would Ty. My husband.” Jenna couldn’t help but smile at the words she said. “I can’t believe it. You are mine. So where are you taking me husband?”
“I am taking you to the one place I know you will be truly comfortable and happy. Tonight we will be flying back home. The jet has a small sleeping area you didn’t see on the way because you were so busy planning this beautiful day. I am sure we can find a way to pass the time until we arrive in New York. How does that sound princess?” Tyler nuzzled her neck lovingly inhaling the sweet scent of her.
“I love that idea baby, but are you sure that’s what you want?” She moaned and leaned into him even more awhile his lips move up and down her neck and his hand rubbed her back.
“I want to be with you and I want you to be ecstatically and rapturously happy every day from now on. For now I know you are getting a little home sick and miss you...um…our little furry man so we are going home. Maybe if you are feeling up to it in a few weeks I will take you down to the Bahamas to see the new resort and show you some beautiful beaches.” He moved his mouth to her ear and nibbled the sensitive lobe.
Jenna could barely concentrate on anything with his constant assault on he senses. The feel of his lips and hands on her the smell of him the heat off his body onto hers and the deep rumble of his voice were all working together to make her crazy. Jenna squirmed on his lap and a moan escaped her lips. Just when she thought she could take no more the limo stopped and they were at the airport. She actually groaned with disappointment.
Before the driver opened the door she looked her husband right in the eye and she could only manage one statement.
“Get me on that plane now!” She kissed him deeply then got out of the limo.
Groaning Tyler followed his wife. Thanking the driver he took her hand and the boarded the plane.
Once the plane was in the air Jenna was in her husband’s lap with her arms around his neck. It was time to repay him for the teasing he gave her in the limo. Her soft lips found his neck and kissed it while her hands undid his tie. Her teeth lightly nipped his ear and she felt and heard him groan. The couple stopped and looked up when they heard the flight attendant clear his throat.
“Mr. and Mrs. Johnson first of all I would like to say congratulations. I have set out some champagne and strawberries for you. The small refrigerator also has some finger sandwiches and fruit for you if you desire. I will spend the flight in my quarters and if you need me I will be available.” The man pointed towards the small compartment that held a bed entertainment center and computer for the staff if needed.
“Thanks Jordan, that’s more than enough.” Tyler smiled at the man and let him know he wasn’t needed anymore.
“Oh, the pilots have asked me to say congratulations from them also.” Smiling Jordan took his leave and let the newlyweds have their private time.
Tyler placed Jenna on her feet and stood up. He took her hand and led her toward the back of the plane. They went past the bathroom which had a small shower stall in it to the bedroom. It was small but luxurious. There was a king size bed and a closet. The line of windows had a long curtain that opened when Tyler hit a button.
Tyler closed the door and smiled at his wife with a predatory kind of smile. He removed his jacket and tie and kicked off his shoes. Moving closer to his beloved he removed her sweater. Turned her around and kissed her shoulder while he untied the sash around her waist, tossing the silk ribbon onto the chair with his jacket. His fingers pulled up the bottom of the camisole she wore. Without him saying a word Jenna lifted her arms and let him remove her top. He pushed his hair over her one shoulder and licked and nipped at the back of her neck. His fingers deftly undid the two buttons the held her skirt shut.
Jenna turned round and put her hand on Tyler’s shoulder as she stepped out of the full skirt. Standing there in just a pair of lacy panties and a strapless bra she smiled at him.
“My turn.” She slowly undid the buttons on his shirt and pushed it off. Next she removed his pants and added them to the pile of clothes in the chair. Jenna pushed his boxer briefs off and pushed him onto the bed. Licking her lips she looked right into his eyes while she removed her panties and bra.
“Come here baby.” Tyler held his hands out and Jenna straddled his lap wrapping her arms around his neck. Tyler reached up and removed the barrette holding her hair.
“I love your hair down.” He ran his hand through her hair and then let his fingers run softly down her spine making her shiver.
She could barely manage to speak when his lips made contact with her breast. She arched her back and dug her fingers into his shoulders. Running her fingers through his perpetually mussed yet oh so sexy hair she pulled him up to kiss her. He pulled back and smiled at her lying on his back then rolling so he was over her he looked into her eyes. They had no words to say even if they weren’t overcome with the eroticism of the moment to speak. Jenna moaned and arched up into him as he ran his hand down her side under her him and held her thigh. Eyes closed lips parted she ran her hands down his chest and wrapped her leg around him.
Tyler nearly lost his mind when he entered her body. Her silken heat made him want move go hard and fast. But he refused to give into that urge. Not tonight he told himself. He was going to make love to his wife slowly. He was going to make her ache for him the way he does for her.
The feel of him over her, inside her, surrounding her, made her lose her mind. When she could no longer take the sweet agony she pushed his chest rolling him over and straddling him. Jenna looked down at him with a wicked little grin on her face. She used her nails and lightly scratched his well-defined abs. His hands were holding her hips while she moved over him. She had her head back and moaned, moving faster, harder, feeling him lose control at the same time she did.
“Tyler!!” The way she cried his name was possessive, she was letting him know he was hers and in return she was his completely. The site of her losing control like that pushed him over the edge and he joined her in climax.
Jenna fell forward resting her cheek on his chest. He ran his fingers through her hair and kissed the top of her head.
“I love you Jenna.” He rolled them onto their sides and lay with his arms around her and rubbed his cheek on the top of her head. He pulled the cover up held her and savored the feel of her next to him.
Several pleasure filled hours later the couple was dressed and sipping champagne and snacking on some of the finger sandwiches that were prepared for them. Jordan came into the cabin and made sure they were happy and started to prepare everything for landing. Jenna secured her seatbelt and Tyler took her hand while they made their decent into New York. Once they were off the plane they got into a town car and headed off to the penthouse. Tyler sent a quick text message to make sure everything he had arrange was in order.
“I know you probably wanted to go somewhere exotic, but this is honestly the best place in the world to m
e right now.” Jenna looked at her husband while they rode the elevator up to the penthouse.
“I’ve been everywhere Jen; to be with you and be happy is all I want. We are going to take it slow. I know you going to London were a huge step for you and when you feel ready we will go further. I will eventually show you everything you have ever wanted to. You are going to sketch the places you have only ever dreamed of.” He kissed her hand and when the elevator door opened he swept her off her feet.
Jenna had her arms around his neck and when they got to the door she reached down and opened the door. Tyler carried his bride over the threshold of their home and kissed her before setting her down. Before Jenna could kiss him back she was greeted with the sound of Oscar barking and the sound of jingling tags as he ran form the master bedroom.
“Oscar!!!!” She was on her knees scooping the small dog up in her arms, happily kissing his furry head and receiving ecstatic dog kisses in return. Wagging his tail so hard his whole body shook the dog turned his attention to Tyler who picked the dog up and scratched his ears.
“I had Adam drop him off a short while ago and make sure the fridge was filled with enough good eats so we won’t have to go out for a few days.” He winked and put his hand out to help her up.
“How did this happen? How is it that less than a year ago I was a prisoner in my own home, scared alone and heart broken and now I’m married and happy and more confident than I have ever been?” Jenna wiped a tear from her eye and stepped into Tyler’s outstretched arm. She hugged her husband her furry baby.
“I guess fate just decided we needed each other.” Tyler kissed the top of her head and the little family headed to the bedroom to sleep after their long day.
Chapter nineteen
The newlyweds spent a week in the penthouse relaxing having fun and making love. During their week together Bryan took the lead at work so Tyler had nothing to worry about. Because their courtship and subsequent marriage happened so fast there were many things that needed to be decided. Some of their time was spent deciding where they would sell both homes and buy a new.
They took the last day of their honeymoon to talk to a realtor. That was all it took. After telling the realtor what they wanted he showed them one place and they fell in love. It was perfect. A place they could make their home together. It was amazing!
“I can’t believe how big it is! Do we really need a five story townhouse?” Walking through the home Jenna was pretty much at a loss for words. The home was five stories six bedrooms a huge kitchen that she would have a wonderful time cooking in and it even had small outdoor space for Oscar to run around in.
“I think that it is perfect. There is an office for me and don’t tell me that bedroom upstairs with all that light coming in the huge windows wouldn’t be perfect for you to work in.” Tyler took her hand while they walked through the home. “
“There are a ton of shops and places for you to go only a block away so you don’t have to worry about going to far.” He could see how much she liked the place by her smile. While she wondered farther into the home again Tyler talked to the relator about making an offer.
On the way home they stopped for lunch and took a nice walk in central park. With her hand in Tyler’s she looked around and just savored the beauty of the park when it was snowing. Jenna rested her head on his shoulder as they walked.
“So what did the realtor say? Does he think they will accept the offer? Are you sure you like it? I hope you’re not just making an offer on that obscenely expensive house just for me.” The couple stopped and Tyler took her gloved hands in his.
“Jen princess calm down, Kevin thinks the offer will be accepted very quickly. The house has been on the market for a very long time. I love the house it is beautiful and perfect for us and it’s even closer to my office than the penthouse. But you know I would do anything to make you happy right?” He moved his hands up to her cheeks and kissed her.
“Now let’s get you home you are shivering and I want to have a nice quiet night in with my wife before I have to go back to work tomorrow.” He let her into the waiting SUV, then climbed in next to her. He told the driver to take them home.
Tyler woke up and reluctantly released his wife from his arms and turned off his alarm clock. With a heavy sigh he rolled out of bed so could get ready to head into the office and take the reins back from his brother. He stepped under the warm spray in the shower and thought how he used to like to wake up early and get to the office. Now all he wanted to do was stay home. After his shower he wrapped a towel around his lean waist and shaved. At least in the new house he could put a small gym in there so he could work out at home instead of going after work.
When he came back into the bedroom Jenna wasn’t were he left her, the only one in bed was Oscar who looked utter pissed off that the couple dared to wake him. He smiled at the dog Tyler walked into the closet and quickly dressed.
Jenna was in the kitchen making coffee and breakfast for Tyler when he walked in. He looked so cute with his still damp hair while he tied his tie. She was wearing a pair of yoga pants and a tank top. She giggled when he playfully pulled her ponytail and kissed her.
“What are you doing awake? You shouldn’t get up just because I do. Take your cue from Oscar.” He grabbed a pair of coffee cups from the cabinet and walked back over to her.
“He really is a spoiled little thing isn’t he? I got up to make breakfast for my husband before he goes off to the office. I wouldn’t want Helena to think I don’t know how to take care of my man.” She poured them both coffees then put two bowls with yogurt fresh fruit and granola on the table.
“I slept in a little today. I usually go in a little early on Mondays to check all the papers from the weekend. You know weekends are the busiest days of the week for hoteliers. I don’t want you to wake up early for me all the time.” Even as he said the words he had to admit there was a certain selfish part of him that liked the idea of seeing her up and smiling at him every morning before he left for work.
“I need to get back on some sort of a schedule anyway. Being off schedule is a little hard for me. It can make me a little anxious. I also wanted to get some things done today. I was thinking of calling my therapist. Some of my medicines need a refill and I haven’t talked to him in a while.” She smiled then leaned in closer and gave a stage whisper.
“You know I have had a few big changes in my life recently.” She held her fingers up to her lips as if to tell him to hush up.
“God you’re a nut. I love it, I love you and this granola is banging. Is this what you were working on last night?” Eating another bite and licking his lips he waited for her reply.
“Yup it is actually easy to make granola. Emma used to make it for me and the Winchesters. She would even make it into bars for snacks. It’s healthier than cookies and junk food.” After she grabbed her favorite chocolate mint creamer for her coffee she dug into her breakfast as well.
The couple made small talk and finished their breakfast. When they were done Jenna put the dishes in the dishwasher and walked Tyler to the door. While she wrapped his scarf around his neck she kissed him.
“I am going to lunch with Sara today and then I am going to run and do some food shopping. I also have to drop off some dry cleaning and then I was going to start going through some of the sketches I started in London to see what to do with them.” She kissed him once more and he headed out the door.
“I will call you later. Don’t overdo it we have had a crazy couple of weeks.” With that he winked and got on the elevator.
After Tyler left Jenna called Dr. Borden and was able to get an appointment for that morning. She took her time to get ready for her day. After taking a shower and braided her hair and got dressed in a pair of her distressed skinny jeans with a cute blue shirt she found in a shop in London. It is a beautiful blue that made her think of Tyler’s eyes it is long sleeved with draping around the shoulders that gave it a different and styl
ish look. She finished her outfit with a pair of her high heel suede booties and some clunky silver jewelry, and then looked in the mirror to make sure everything looked ok.
Jenna called the number Ty gave her for the chauffer and grabbed the things she needed to run her errands. First they dropped off the dry cleaning and then headed to Dr. Borden’s office. Jenna went into the office telling her driver Adam that she would be an hour and he could come back and get her.
Dr. Elizabeth Boren was pleased to see Jenna doing so well. She had been seeing her since she was 12 years old. Jenna tried her hardest to be independent but knew the importance of taking her meds and visiting Dr. Borden from time to time to talk about things. Jenna would also go to a support group from time to time because she felt it important to share the good times and the bad times with other people who suffered from anxiety and panic.
