1526 Words
Max watched Jane from his hotel room. She sat on her bed, biting her nail.
She picked up her phone looking for a message or call from Max.
He watched her acting very nervous.
He turned off his computer to give her some privacy.
His phone rang.
It was Sasha.
"She's going up to the roof for some fresh air.
Head on up there and wear your best suit.
Do you still have that domino mask from the masquerade?"
He told her no.
She asked him to stop by the room.
She would provide him with one from their photo shoot props.
Max did as instructed. He went up to the roof top garden.
Where did she go? He looked for her.
Then he saw Jane walking by the rose gardens in the moonlight. She was ethereal.
He followed behind, he plucked a single white rose and followed her to the gazebo.
He smiled as he came to her.
He spoke quietly, trying not to startle her.
He began telling her what was in his heart, "Jane, I need to be near you.
Please don't run away, my love. I think that I understand everything now."
Jane was happy to see him, she smiled and noticed that he was wearing a suit and a mask. He looked like zorro.
He said, " I need to start over. I need you to start over with me."
He knelt before her.
He looked into her eyes, they were pools of blue shining in the moonlight.
He gave her the single white rose.
"Jane, take this rose as a sign of my fidelity, I promise to honor and love you the rest of my life."
Jane said, "Please, call me Jamie. I can't fight who I am around you. I want to see you as the real me, not Jane Knight."
He said he would.
He was making progress now.
He took her fingers and kissed her finger tips, as he had once done when he was a younger man.
He stood up next to her and put out his strong hand.
She placed her soft hand into his.
He pulled her up to meet him.
She held on as he spun her around, dancing the waltz.
Her body molded to his.
"Jamie, this is how I should have treated you that night not like I did"....She touched his mouth, stopping him from finishing.
She looked up at him.
"Is this for real, am I dreaming?"
Max reached down and grabbed her butt with both of his hands, pulling her against him.
They kissed deeply now. He tasted the sweetness of her soft lips.
Max had wanted her to lead the way.
He didn't want to do anything that she wasn't ready for.
Max stopped the dance and suddenly moved away from Jamie, back into the shadows. He had to cool off.
He was bent over breathing hard, fighting for self control.
She reached her hand out, groping for him in the darkness.
He placed a small envelope with his room number and the key into her open hands.
He whispered. "Let's take it slow this time, only when you are ready my dear."
He turned and walked away.
Jamie was more than ready now.
She ran after him, yelling his name, "Max, please wait!"
He turned around and she jumped up into his arms.
He carried her to the door and took her down the elevator to his room, holding her lovely body in his strong arms .
He kissed her gently the whole way.
He slowly slanted his warm mouth over her again and again.
He put the key in the lock and pushed the door open with his foot. He softly set her down then.
Jamie pulled his jacket off, she undid his tie.
He pulled her dress off of her shoulders, down to her small waist.
She turned her neck to allow him to kiss her there.
They were going too slow.
Max bit her shoulder and looked into her eyes.
She nodded.
All of the old hurts were behind them. They began to move together passionately.
She kissed the tattoo on his left shoulder, tracing it with her finger.
J and M forever surrounded by a heart.
She remembered seeing it, that night at the ocean.
The fever began to build inside.
Max suddenly stopped and took a deep breath.
He sat down running his hand through his hair.
He was breathing heavy, trying to stay in control.
Jamie asked him what was wrong.
He told her he was feeling so bad about what he had done to her.
He said," I don't deserve a second chance. I love you so much, but I can't lose you again.You're engaged to my boss.
You will be married in a few months.
I can't start something knowing that you will be his wife, be in his bed.
She was quiet, then said, "We both know that he never meant to employ you permanently.
I'm your Jamie tonight, here in this space. I belong only to you Max."
Max kissed her lips, tasting her mouth, his tongue twisting with hers.
For now it would be enough.
He would fight for her this time around, he wasn't a dumb boy.
Jamie would be his once again.
He picked her up and carried her to his bed.
He held her hands above her head and softly kissed her from head to toe.
She turned her head side to side.
She said," Please, hurry Max."
Letting go of her hands, he let her touch him.
They created a storm of passion together.
There was thunder and lightning that shook through them as they made love.
It was the same passion that they had ignited those many years ago.
Throughout the tender night, Max fufilled all of her pent up desires, her dreams all came true.
As Jane, Jamie had poured out all of her memories into her stories.
Those beautiful times that she had shared with Max when she was the nanny.
She was able to relive it all over again now.
She held him so tight that she wanted to absorb him.
He stroked her head, moving her hair away from her face.
She gently touch his face where she had slapped him.
She frowned.
"Max, let's love each other, no more anger or hurting each other."
He nodded,"Never again my lover."
She kissed him again and lay in his arms quietly for a long time.
When she woke up, she left him early in the morning.
He was still asleep.
Jamie went back to her room. She would become Jane once again, she had a day off and would sleep until around noon.
She felt lighter. She felt free.
She had one little problem with everything. Jeff Allen would never let her go.
She knew that he would fight dirty.
She had to find a way to leave him without hurting him.
She needed some dirt on him. Somehow, to make him realize that he was a perpetual womanizer.
Jane would never be able to change him.
She lay awake for hours until a plan developed.
It was as thick as any of her book plots. If only she didn't have to involve Max in it all.
She supposed it was to late for that.
Jane was cunning and smart. She would bring Jeff Allen's sins to the light of day.
She wouldn't be able to look the other way anymore.
Jane was figuring it all out when there was a knock on the door.
Sasha opened it as she saw it was Jeff Allen.
"Come on in, Jane is on the balcony, coffee?"
He nodded and kissed her on the cheek.
"Sorry about yesterday, I was stupid to call in to that pod cast, is she still angry."
Sasha shrugged."One can never tell until her wrath is upon you."
"Hey, I can hear you," Jane yelled.
Jeff rushed forward and placed a velvet box into her hands.
She tilted her head and opened it. It was a diamond tennis bracelet.
Jane raised her brow. "What girl did you knock up now?"
He was stunned. Jane had never spoken to him like this.
He rubbed the back of his neck.
She was in a bad mood.
He wondered which of his staff had leaked that information to her.
He had quietly taken care of it. He was a gentleman after all.
She saw that he had turned serious. "I was being sarcastic, but now I am wondering about you. Jeff Allen when are you going to change?"
He shrugged. "To be honest, I only want to be with you."
She saw some truth in that. He leaned in and kissed her, he caressed her supple breast as he did.
Jane didn't respond. She patted his hand."Jeff, we need to talk."
Just then a very rough looking Max busted into the room.
He marched over to Sasha and said," Where is she?"
Sasha covered his mouth and whispered," here, with Jeff."
Too late Jeff and Jane had already seen him.
Jeff could tell Max was angry at them both.
