Truly,Madly,Deeply-Chapter 21
“And then he brought me to the docks and kissed me…Em, it was so romantic!” Jilliane gushes as she and Emily lay out by Jax's pool. "Jilliane, how are you going to twist Jax's arm into letting you stay instead of returning home?" Emily says flipping through Seventeen Magazine. "I have not figured that out yet… Jax is so stubborn," Jilliane responds in frustration.
"My ears are burning, are you talking about me, little sister?" Jax says walking out by the pool. "Of course not! Right, Emily?" Jilliane replies with a bright smile. "Not we weren't talking about you, Jax," Emily says biting her lip. Jax flashes a dazzling smile and Emily's cheeks turn
pink…Jilliane's brother looked like a model and he was so nice.
Jax says, "Listen Jilly…I have to go do some business but I will be back later today." "On a Sunday, Jax?" Jilliane asks with a knowing smile. "Big merger… see you later, girls," Jax says hastily and reenters the house. Jilliane hops up and says, "He is so transparent…he is going to see Brenda." "You think?" Emily asks. "Oh I know," Jilliane says diving into the
pool.
******************************
"So, Mussolini was a fascist in Italy in the early twentieth century, right?" Brenda asks Robin as they sat on the couch. "Very good Miss Barrett…you will ace the history final," Robin says sipping her lemonade and sighing. "I hate studying when I could be with Jax," Brenda says slamming her book closed. "And I could be with Jason," Robin says laughing. "That pearl is
amazing," Brenda says looking at it closely on Robin's olive-colored skin." So is a star…Bren, that was so romantic of Jax," Robin says smiling at Brenda's glowing face. "Jax is a very eccentric lover if I do say so myself," Brenda responds proudly.
"Girls, what should I wear on the plane ride to Cancun?" Lois asks walking into the house with shopping bags filling her hands. "Let's see," Brenda says clapping excitedly. "Okay… I am stuck between two," Lois says holding up a bag from Betsy Johnson and another from Todd Oldham. "Whoa… Lois those are very expensive designers," Robin says. "Nedly said I could buy
something special so he brought me to New York City and we went shopping!" Lois says plopping on the couch in exhaustion. "Baby wearing you out?" Brenda asks. "Oh just a little…Ned watched over me the whole time so I was fine," Lois says swinging her hands trying to explain while her eyes began to droop.
"I think it is time for us to exit," Robin whispers standing up. Brenda nods and the lay Lois on the couch and cover her with a blanket…she was out cold. Robin and Brenda tiptoe into the kitchen and Brenda giggles. "Wait till she sees Ned in those leather pants," Robin says shaking her head. "I am so happy he agreed," Brenda says biting a cookie. "You must not
have dance today or that thing would not be passing your lips," Robin says.
"Nope…it was canceled because Mademoiselle Alexandra has the flu," Brenda replies. "Are you still doing that Nutcracker thing in December?" Robin asks. "Probably… we'll see how things work out," Brenda says as the phone rings. Both girls lunge at it so Lois did not wake up.
"Hello," Brenda says breathlessly into the receiver. "Hello gorgeous," Jax whispers. "Hey sweetie…where are you?" Brenda says twirling her hair. Robin bursts into laughter…Brenda's voice was squeaking and her face was the color of Robin's bright red sundress. "I am outside…come if you dare," Jax says and then the dial tone comes up. Brenda hangs up the phone and whispers, "I am going out…don't expect me soon!" Brenda runs out and Robin
laughs…Brenda would always be Brenda.
*************************************
Brenda's heart was pounding as she raced upstairs to change. Her feelings for Jax never got old…she still felt like she was on an ongoing rollercoaster with him She pulls off her pajamas and hooks her bra and slides on a white T-shirt and a khaki skirt. She throws her hair up in a
ponytail and glances in the mirror. Good enough and she runs out of her room.
Jax was standing against a cherry red sixties Mustang convertible. "Jax, where did you get this?" Brenda asks. "It's only for the day but you always said you wanted to take a ride on one of these," Jax says grinning. "Let's go!" Brenda says hopping over the car door like she had done it a hundred times before. "Impressive Miss Barrett," Jax says copying her movements. "Ready?" Jax says flipping on the radio. "Of course," Brenda says smiling. "This song always reminds me of you," Jax says laughing. "Oh geez…I can only imagine," Brenda says batting her chocolate eyes.
Hey where did we go,
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow,
Playin' a new game,
Laughing and a running hey, hey
Skipping and a jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our hearts a thumpin' and you
My brown eyed girl
You my brown eyed girl.
Whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow
Going down the old mind
With a transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing,
Hiding behind a rainbow's wall,
Slipping and sliding
All along the water fall, with you
My brown eyed girl,
You my brown eyed girl.
Do you remember when we used to sing,
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
So hard to find my way,
Now that I'm all on my own.
I saw you just the other day,
My how you have grown,
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometime I'm overcome thinking 'bout
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you
My brown eyed girl
You my brown eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da.
"So will you tell me where we are going now?" Brenda asks. "Not yet… I want to be there when I ask you this question," Jax responds. Brenda's eyes bulge open…Jax was going to ask her to marry him!
*****************************
"Nikolas, that tickles," Jilliane yells as she and Nikolas wrestled on her bed. "Jilly, I know you are a lot tougher than you appear…hello, you have two older brothers," Nikolas says pinning her. "You're right…forget me being all helpless!" Jilliane says flipping Nikolas over onto his back. Jilliane smiles and lowers in for a kiss.
Suddenly, she and Nikolas were all over each other and her hands were unbuttoning his shirt and his hand was quickly sweeping under her blouse. She kisses him once more and they jump apart. "Wait," they both say in unison. "Nikolas, I am sorry but I am not ready…not even close," Jilliane says with her voice quivering. "Jilly, it is all right… I would never pressure you
and I am not ready yet either," Nikolas says buttoning his shirt.
"You are a virgin?" Jilliane responds in shock. "Yes, I did not think you were either," Nikolas says smiling "I feel so much better!" Jilliane says breathing a sigh of relief. "I think we better stick to places outside of our bedrooms," Nikolas says laughing. "I agree," Jilliane says looking
away. "You okay? Nikolas asks.
"Yes, I just did not think I could lose control that easily…that's all," Jilliane says in discomfort. "Hey, it's over…we can move on and forget about this," Nikolas says hugging her. Jilliane nods and walks behind Nikolas to leave her room… a whole Pandora's box of emotions had been opened and Jilliane did not like the nervousness that was settling in her stomach.
***************************************
“Jax, please tell me where we are!” Brenda giggles as Jax covers her eyes. “One moment impatient girl,” Jax says shaking his head in humor. Brenda was like a little girl who always wanted more and more. “Okay, open your eyes,” Jax says removing his hands from her eyes.
Brenda’s eyes flutter open and her eyes adjust to the sunlight. “Jax, it is beautiful!” Brenda squeals at the waterfall. “So I assume you have never been to Niagara Falls?” Jax asks scooping her up. “No…never…I have tried so many new things I never dreamed I would ever do because of you,” Brenda says kissing his forehead as he twirls her around.
Jax puts Brenda down and she runs toward the edge of the water. Brenda grazes her hand over the clear, cold water and smiles at her reflection. Tiny pebbles lay beneath the gleaming water and glimmered in the sun. Brenda wiggles her toes in the water and jumps back at the coldness. “I cannot believe no one is here on a day like this!” Brenda says turning around. “I know why,” Jax says mischievously. “Jax, you didn’t,” Brenda says rolling her eyes. “Oh but I did,” Jax responds kissing her neck.
“How?” Brenda asks with her hands on her hips. “Brenda, I gave the right enough of money and my friend is a wildlife manager here so TA DA,” Jax says smiling. “You are crazy,” Brenda says with her heart racing…she knew Jax was going to ask her to marry him…why else would he have brought her here? “I want to go swimming!” Brenda says pulling off her skirt and taking off her t-shirt. “Skinny dipping, again?” Jax says laughing. “No, it is daytime but we can still swim, sweetie,” Brenda says pulling off his clothes.
Brenda runs into the water and dives in. The water hugs her tanned body and she comes up for air. “Brenda, over here,” Jax says motioning her to the waterfall that he was standing underneath. Brenda swims as fast as she can…hoping he was going to finally ask her.
“Hi,” Brenda says breathlessly as she wraps her arms around Jax’s tanned neck and his wet, blond curls. “Hello gorgeous,” Jax murmurs in her ear. “Oh this is so perfect…like a dream,” Brenda whispers back. “Bermuda was the best,” Jax says gazing into her eyes deeply. “When we made love for the first time…I was so scared…but it was so perfect,” Brenda says huskily. “You would never know that it was your first time,” Jax chuckles. “I had a good leader,” Brenda says nestling her head against Jax’s moist chest that was glistening with droplets of the Niagara.
“I never thought I would actually find one woman who could make me so happy and make me never want to look at anyone else…Bren, you are the only one I want…forever,” Jax says pulling her close. “I feel exactly the same way…we are a perfect fit,” Brenda says softly. Jax pulls away and looks down upon Brenda…looking like a goddess with her wet, brown curls and her honey skin glowing against the reflection of the water.
Maybe it’s intuition
but some things you just don’t question
Like in your eyes, I see my future in an instant
And there it goes,
I think I found my best friend
I know that it might sound
more than a little crazy
but I believe...
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
There’s just no rhyme or reason
Only the sense of completion
And in your eyes, I see
the missing pieces I’m searching for
I think I’ve found my way home
I know that it might sound
more than a little crazy
but I believe...
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
A thousand angels dance around you
I am complete now that I’ve found you
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
Brenda leans forward and kisses Jax softly. “Brenda, I need to ask you something,” Jax says softly. “Yes,” Brenda responds eagerly. “I want to give you something…” Jax says before Brenda interrupts him. “Yes?” Brenda responds eagerly. Jax reaches into his boxers pocket and pulls out…it shimmered in the water. It was a key. Jax hands it to Brenda who takes it slowly into her hands. “Brenda, will you move in with me?” Jax asks with excitement in his voice as Brenda’s face falls…

Truly, Madly, Deeply-Chapter 22
“Brenda, will you move in with me?” Jax says with his blue eyes sparkling. Brenda takes the shiny key in her hand and squeezes it tightly. She could feel tears forming in her eyes. Here Jax was being so genuine and sweet and wanted to share apart of his life with her and all she could do was be sad. “Bren, what’s the matter?” Jax says holding her face in both of his hands. “Um…nothing, sweetie,” Brenda responds in an uncomfortable manner. Jax shakes his head and says, “No, something is wrong…is it still too soon for us to move in together?”
“Jax, it is not that…I…I just thought you were going to ask me a different question,” Brenda says nervously looking down at the water. “Bren…what is… oh that question…wow,” Jax says in bewilderment. “Yeah…Jax it is was my fault…I put all these high expectations and that is why I looked so shocked when you handed me the key,” Brenda says softly. “Brenda, a few months ago I asked you to move in with me and you said it was too soon… now, you want to get married?” Jax asks in confusion.
Brenda laughs, “I know I am a bit fickle… I guess ever since we got back together and you told me that I was your soulmate…I feel like our relationship deepened on some level.” “It did and I fall more and more in love with you every minute of the day,” Jax responds smiling. “I feel the same way about you and I guess I got caught up in that these last couple of weeks…you are a dream come true…what woman would not want to marry you right away?” Brenda giggles.
“Well it touches me that you think of me like that…but Brenda I cannot marry you,” Jax says seriously. Brenda bites her bottom lip and whispers, “Never?” “Brenda, I do want to marry you, just not at this second…when I ask you…it is not going to be all planned…I think you and I will know when it is right,” Jax says. Brenda nods and says, “You don’t want it to be the conventional “down on one knee” in the perfect setting kind of proposal, right?” “Right, because every place you and I are together is perfect because we are together,” Jax responds hugging her.
“And you are the least conventional person I know… who else would fly the Russian Ballet across the world for a first date,” Brenda says laughing. “And who would sneak into my bathroom and get Jasper Jacks to take a bath in rose petals and make love to Aerosmith? … Bren, you are not the most conventional person either,” Jax responds laughing heartily. Brenda wraps her arms around his neck and says, “We are a perfect match if I ever saw one.” Jax chuckles and responds, “Miss Barrett, I would have to agree with you… but are you avoiding giving me an answer about the question I asked you earlier?”
“On some level I am,” Brenda admits holding up the key with drops of water falling off of it. “Are you scared of the commitment?” Jax asks. “Jax, I was thinking we were going to get married an hour ago so I do not have a problem committing to you, but…” Brenda says with her voice trailing off. “But what, Brenda?” Jax asks squeezing her shoulders gently. “I guess I never imagined being twenty and already being so in love and thinking about marriage and a family. It’s scary how quickly I fell in love with you… and moving in with you is so serious…I cannot believe I was ready to marry you right away when we are both so young and I am still in college…we have only been together for half a year!” Brenda exclaims with a nervous giggle.
“Bren, when we are together, what do you feel like?” Jax asks smiling at her face. Brenda laughs and twirls around in the water and replies, “Being with you is pure happiness and exhilaration… I spend every waking moment thinking of you… even when we are together…I love you.” “And I love you and so living together would be a great step… it’s not marriage but it is a “stepping stone” towards a future together,” Jax says kissing her forehead with his moist lips. Brenda smiles and wraps her legs around Jax’s waist and brings her lips to his. His tongue enters her mouth and their tongues meet in a sensuous dance. Jax runs his tongue over Brenda’s teeth and she giggles. “You always taste so good,” Jax mutters as he nibbles on Brenda’s ear. “You are not so bad yourself,” Brenda says breathlessly.
You and I in this moment, holding the night so close
Hanging on, still unbroken
While outside the thunder rolls
Listen now, you can hear our heartbeat
Warm against life’s bitter cold
These are the days
The sweetest days we’ll know
There are times that scare me
We rattle the house, like the wind
Both of us so unbending
We battle the fear within
All the while, life is rushing by us
Hold it now and don’t let go
(repeat 1)
So we’ll whisper our dreams, here in the darkness
Watching the stars till they’re gone
And when even the memories have all faded away
These days go on and on
Listen now you can hear our heart beat
Hold it now, and don’t let go, these are the days
Everyday is the sweetest day, we’ll know
These are the days, the sweetest days we’ll know
“So do you have an answer?” Jax says softly as he pulls away from
Brenda’s embrace. “Yes I do,” Brenda says seriously while
clutching her key in the water. “Well?” Jax asks with anticipation
on his face. “Jasper Jacks, it would make me the happiest woman in the
world to move in with you!” Brenda exclaims leaping into his arms.
“Oh Bren, life is going to get ever better,” Jax says nuzzling his face in her wet hair. “I know, Jax… I know,” Brenda says smiling.
**********************************
“Jilliane, Jax is going to be home soon and you are supposed to leave tomorrow,” Nikolas says as he and Jilliane sit out by the pool. “I know…my mind is going into overload,” Jilliane says sipping her lemonade. “Can’t you survive the three weeks in Alaska?” Nikolas asks while laughing. “Yes, but I want to be here,” Jilliane says sighing in frustration. “Jilly, I hate to tell you this but you cannot always get what you want,” Nikolas says covering his face for her response.
“Nikolas, did you think that comment would make me a little mad?” Jilliane asks raising an eyebrow. “Maybe,” Nikolas replies shrugging his shoulders. “Well, for your information, I know I cannot always get what I want but it is so fun to get what I want,” Jilliane giggles. “You are impossible,” Nikolas says throwing his towel at her. “I don’t doubt that,” Jilliane says posing like a model.
“Jilliane, you are such a brat!” Nikolas says shaking his head. “Nikolas Cassadine…I know I am but that is why you like me!” Jilliane responds rolling her eyes. “Yes, I do like you…a lot,” Nikolas says walking towards her. “I guess I can be good and go home for the three weeks,” Jilliane says as Nikolas inches closer. “Good girl,” Nikolas says hugging her. “Will you kiss me now?” Jilliane asks smiling brightly. “Of course,” Nikolas says as their lips meet.
*****************************************
“I am home!” Brenda yells as she and Jax enter the house. “Hey,” Robin says walking out from the kitchen. “Smells good…who is cooking?” Jax asks with a smile. “Ned is cooking for Lois…she had a craving for rosemary chicken and chocolate-covered strawberries,” Robin says laughing. “Together?” Brenda asks in amazement. “Oh yes and they are having banana and peanut butter sandwiches for dessert,” Robin says.
“Ick, ick,” Brenda says making a face. “Brenda, do not make fun of my dinner!” Lois says storming out of the kitchen. “Lo, how are you feeling?” Brenda squeaks. “Good until you came in!” Lois says with tears in her eyes. “Lois, I am sorry,” Brenda says hugging her as she, Robin, and Jax exchange glances. “Oh Bren, I am not mad…I am just so emotional right now and I cannot control it at all!” Lois says pulling away with shining blue eyes.
“Well you may be a bit moody but Lois, you are glowing,” Jax says with a smile. “Thank you, Jax…I just do not know what to do about how I feel,” Lois says slumping on the couch. Brenda sits beside her and says, “Relaxation is key…I am going to spend the night at Jax’s.” “And I am going over to my Uncle Mac’s to watch the girls for him and Felicia while they go away to Boston for the night,” Robin says smiling. “So my dear, you and your Nedly have this whole place to yourselves,” Brenda say wiping a tear from Lois’s milky cheek.
“I am so glad I have friends like you,” Lois says with tears starting to form in her eyes again. “Lois, take a deep breath,” Ned says coming out of the kitchen with a plump, red, chocolate-covered strawberry. “Oh Nedly, is dinner ready?” Lois says jumping up, grabbing the fruit from his hand and kissing him on the cheek. “Yes, it is, darling,” Ned says kissing her forehead.
“Well, I am going to pack,” Brenda says walking towards the stairs. “I’ll help!” Jax says enthusiastically following her up. “And I have to go…I have to be at Uncle Mac’s in ten minutes,” Robin says walking out the door. Lois and Ned look at each other and burst out laughing. “We sure know how to clear a room,” Lois says chopping on the strawberry. “The sooner they all leave, the sooner we are alone,” Ned says pulling her close into a sweet embrace.
****************************************
“They are so cute,” Brenda says pulling a black bikini from her drawer. “Actually, I think we are cuter,” Jax whispers into her ear as he pulls her onto the bed with him. “Jax, not now!” Brenda exclaims trying not to giggle to loud. “Miss Barrett, you are simply irresistible,” Jax says kissing her neck.
“Jax, we can continue this at your place,” Brenda says running her index finger along his shirt. “You mean “our place”,” Jax says kissing her hand. “Our place,” Brenda says with a smile.
****************************************
“Jilly, where are you?” Jax yells as he and Brenda enter the foyer. Geoffrey comes out from the kitchen and says, “Miss Jilliane was invited to Elizabeth Webber’s for the night… she said she will be home bright and early to leave…I am preparing dinner right now.” “Oh Geoffrey, thank you for watching out for Jilly…she can be trouble…and you can leave early tonight,” Jax says glancing over at Brenda with a small smile. “As you wish, sir,” Geoffrey responds in understanding…Jax had never been this happy and Geoffrey knew exactly why. Brenda was like a breath of fresh air into the house.
“Night Geoffrey!” Brenda says smiling. “Miss Barrett, Mr.Jacks… have a good evening,” Geoffrey replies with a small nod. He walks out and Jax chuckles, “Miss Brenda Barrett…we have this entire house to ourselves…what do you want to do first?”
“Let’s see…I want to go swimming and have dinner by the pool…. Something easy!” Brenda says with a smile. “Well let me see what we….” Jax says before Brenda cuts him off. “No, no…I will whip up something…you get changed and wait for me by the pool,” Brenda says raising her eyebrows. “I think I am going to love this,” Jax says placing his hand over his heart. Brenda laughs appreciatively as Jax walks upstairs to change.
Brenda scurries into the kitchen and opens the fridge…it had everything. “Hmmm,” Brenda says pulling things out. Brenda sees a jar and smiles deviously, “Perfecto!”
***************************************
“Ready, here I come,” Brenda says walking out in a robe. “Hey, where is your bathing suit?” Jax says floating in the water on his back. “First we dance,” Brenda says turning on the portable stereo she brought out. “And dinner?” Jax asks as he steps out of the pool. “It’s coming…don’t worry,” Brenda says pulling his wet body to hers. The music comes on and Jax bursts out laughing. “What’s so funny? I have always dreamed about dancing to this song with someone I was in love with,” Brenda says pulling away. “Bren, I love it…I was laughing because this song is just so you,” Jax responds pulling her back as they begin to dance.
I've got sunshine
On a cloudy day.
When it's cold outside,
I've got the month of May.
Well, I guess you'll say
what can make me feel this way?
My girl. (My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl. (My girl)
I've got so much honey
the bees envy me.
I've got a sweeter song
than the birds in the trees.
Well, I guess you'll say
what can make me feel this way?
My girl. (My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl. (My girl)
Brenda laughs as Jax dips her and twirls her around. “How about dinner now?” Brenda says walking over to the table. “Sounds good…. Dancing always makes me tired,” Jax says sitting down. “Dinner is served,” Brenda says placing a gourmet jar of honey in front of Jax. “What the hell do I do with this?” Jax asks laughing. “Anything you want,” Brenda says pulling off her robe to reveal her completely nude body.
“Wow,” Jax says taking a gulp. “Do you approve, Mr. Jacks?” Brenda says sitting on his lap. The feel of her naked body against his bare chest was almost too much for him to take and Brenda could feel his arousal. “Turned on, are we?” Brenda says standing up and opening the jar. “More than you will ever know,” Jax says wiping a bead of sweat from his forehead. Brenda dips her finger into the honey and brings it out of the jar, drizzling.
Jax stands up and walks toward her. He takes her finger and licks it off slowly, savoring every last taste. Next, Brenda takes the honey and pours it on the corner of her neck. Jax smiles and presses his lips to it and then kisses Brenda’s lips, making them all sticky. “You get the fun too, sweetie,” Jax says wiping some honey across his chest. “Yummy!” Brenda says dancing her tongue over his muscles.
“Want to go upstairs?” Jax asks with his eyes memorizing her perfection up and down. “Yes!” Brenda says running off. Jax shakes his head and runs after her. Brenda felt like a little child running through the house this night. She knew she looked ridiculous running around naked but she did not care…she was with Jax and she felt more at ease with herself than ever before. She runs into his bedroom and dives into the navy blue silk sheets. “Oh my God!” Brenda says as Jax comes in completely naked. Brenda bursts out laughing and says “Copycat.” “I know but I wanted to do for you what you are doing for me…equality,” Jax responds jumping onto the bed. “You are so goofy!” Brenda says. “Well I only let you and my family see this side of me so do not be mistaken,” Jax says pulling the covers over them.
“I fall more and more in love with you all the time,” Brenda says sighing. “Prove it,” Jax whispers. Brenda cups his face with his right hand and kisses his eyelids and pulls away. His eyes were like looking into her own soul and they were made up of so many colors. They were so clearly blue with flecks of aquamarine and subtle hits of green. “I love you,” Brenda says kissing him softly.
And in your eyes I see ribbons of color
I see us inside of each other
I feel my unconscious merge with yours
And I hear a voice say, "What's his is hers"
I'm falling into you
This dream could come true
And it feels so good falling into you
I was afraid to let you in here
Now I have learned love can't be made in fear
Must begin to tumble down
And I can't even see the ground
I'm falling into you
This dream could come true
And it feels so good falling into you
Falling like a leaf, falling like a star
Finding a belief, falling where you are
Catch me, don't let me drop!
Love me, don't ever stop!
So close your eyes and let me kiss you
And while you sleep I will miss you
chorus:
I'm falling into you
This dream could come true
And it feels so good falling into you
Falling like a leaf, falling like a star
Finding a belief, falling where you are
Falling into you
Falling into you
Falling into you
Brenda shifts her body on top of Jax’s and smiles as she leans down to kiss his chest, kissing in a circle around his heart. Jax’s hands explore Brenda’s back and she groans happily as Jax kisses her neck. Jax flips Brenda underneath him and gazes at her and shakes his head. “What sweetie?” Brenda asks in concern. “Brenda, you are the most perfect thing I have ever seen…sometimes I need to take it all in,” Jax whispers kissing her cheeks. “Well I feel the same way about you…make love to me with your eyes open,” Brenda says smiling. Jax nods and makes love to Brenda.
Every touch, kiss, and gaze was with both their eyes wide open watching each other. It was the most powerful night of lovemaking they had ever experienced. After they finished making love, they stayed up the whole night watching one another, as if one moment of closed eyes would ruin the overpowering nature of tonight’s lovemaking. “I cannot wait to move in with you,” Brenda whispers. “Me too, beautiful,” Jax whispers back.
