*This segment is for my agent KiKiD (who convinced me to continue with the
story) to comply with her demands (actually requests, but she does have that
whip that she uses on her clients) for more J&B.
There is a character, David Logan, in this that I had the urge to change
his first name and give him a very unflattering description. But then I thought
of "Rambo Kira" coming and thumping me with my halo (ouch LOL) and it made
me remember - no personal attacks on someone just because I disagree with
their opinions. This group has been a good influence on me already, but Miranda
is just a character and she will continue to be trashed. *G*.
“Brenda, Thao just called he is touring the casinos in Monte Carlo and
wants us to join him. Are you interested?”
“Of course, I love Thao and I’m feeling very lucky.”
They drove to Monte Carlo and spent several hours with Thao arguing among
themselves as to which was their favorite casino. In the last one Jax was
accosted by a business acquaintance David Logan, who insisted on discussing
the sale of an oil refinery that Jax had. He drug Jax off to one of the gaming
tables where he continued to pressure him about the sale. To try to end the
discussion Jax gave him a ridiculously high price, but Logan jumped on it
as the opening salvo. Brenda came a couple of times to lean on Jax’s
shoulder and watch them play, but would leave when Logan’s staring made
her uncomfortable. Brenda excused herself and signaled for the concierge
to make arrangements for a romantic surprise.
Logan said to Jax “You are a lucky man, if you ever get tired of that
one let me know.”
“David , Brenda is my wife, you will be dead and buried long before
I would ever give up on her.”
When Brenda returned to the table she picked up their cards and started to
shuffle. “Mr. Logan, since this is my honeymoon I’m reclaiming
my husband, but I will give you one chance to close the deal that the two
of you have been negotiating about for the last half an hour. We can cut
cards, if you get high card Jax will accept your last offer on the refinery
deal and if I get high card you will pay Jax’s price.”
Logan looked at Jax for his consent.
Jax smiled slyly and said “What’s mine is hers, so whatever Brenda
wants...”
Brenda put the cards in front of him. Logan looked smug as he pulled the
Queen of Spades. Brenda took a deep breath paused and pulled the King of
Hearts.
David Logan grumbled “I should have known better than to bet against
a woman that snared one of the Jacks boys into marriage.”
Jax got up nodded at Logan saying “Send the paperwork to my office I’m
going to be otherwise occupied.”
Brenda took him by the hand and led him towards the private elevator going
to the guest suites. As they passed a Prince from a small Arab Kingdom, who
was seated at the next table, he looked at Brenda and then at Jax and held
up five fingers. Jax laughed, shook his head and put his arm around Brenda.
She looked up at him quizzically and he said “Your stock had gone up,
earlier this evening the Prince offered me three of his wives in exchange
for you and now the offer has gone up to five.”
“I’m not sure if I should be flattered or offended?”
“It was not intended as an insult, just a different view of beautiful
women.”
When they got to the door leading to the private elevators Brenda pulled
out the key she had gotten from the concierge and it allowed them access
to the elevator room. They entered and Brenda put the key into their elevator
and it started automatically to the floor of their suite.
Brenda reached up and undid Jax’s tie saying “Maybe I should make
sure that you don’t have the energy to think about trading me in for
other women.”
She proceeded to undo the buttons on his shirt, kissing his body as she went
down. Jax put his head back enjoying the feel of her hands and mouth on his
chest. The elevator door opened to the landing for their suite and the door
to it was open for their arrival. Jax removed the key from the elevator and
put it in his pocket. He then reached down and put a hand on each of
Brenda’s ankles and brought his hands slowly up her bare legs. When
he reached her hips he lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around him.
He carried her into the suite and pushed the door closed with his foot. Brenda
kicked off her heels and grabbed her dress which was bunched around her waist
and pulled it off over her head. Jax was exhilarated by the look and the
feel of her naked body in his arms. He moved to the bed lowering her to it.
Brenda knelt on the bed and directed her attention to the removal of Jax’s
pants, as he quickly disposed of his jacket and shirt. As Jax swiftly removed
his shoes Brenda pulled him onto the bed on top of her. He started to caress
her body. Brenda gasped with pleasure as Jax’s mouth found her breasts.
When he brought his face up and kissed his way up to her mouth, she wrapped
her legs around his body and they were lost in the fiery passion they had
ignited.
There was such a peace and serenity as they lay there together, that Jax
didn’t want to let go of Brenda when she started to get up. She had
to promise to be right back before he would let her out of his arms. She
put on his discarded shirt, went in search of food and found the kitchen
well stocked. Brenda returned with champagne, caviar with crackers and
strawberries dipped in chocolate. She then brought the impromptu picnic to
the middle of their bed. Jax propped himself up with pillows and allowed
Brenda to feed him strawberries and caviar.
Jax poured the champagne and asked “Dare, I inquire about that card
cut with Logan?”
Brenda laughed “I figured that you knew that every time he dealt he
cheated. So, when I saw him palm the Queen I decided to draw a higher card.
Besides I had just made arrangements for this suite and I didn’t want
to wait to have you beat him fair and square.”
“Brenda, what am I going to do with you?”
“Something delightfully wicked?” she responded hopefully.
Jax removed the shirt that she was wearing, smeared her body with caviar
and then slowly, deliberately and skillfully removed it with his tongue.
In response Brenda was quivering with anticipation and arousal, she whispered
“Make love to me now or I will die.”
Before Jax could reply she kissed him in a way that sent shock waves to his
toes and back. He then answered her desire with his own. It was a day and
a half later before they ventured out of the suite to return to the villa.
