Mountains Seas and Intrigue

It was a very surreal moment. Jill had studied many fighting forms and her style was now very fluid and not truly dependent on any one stance. She had moved out of the shattered window and to the right side of the yard. She had shot two people moving rapidly towards her and came down in a roll to land in a squat with one leg out in front of her and the other tucked under her.

She caught movement to her left and swung her forward leg around, tripped someone, stood, and brought her leg down on a man's chest. All in one motion.

'Damn! How many are there? How many bullets did I use?'

As she thought she felt movement behind her, spun to see someone charging in a pose to capture. She went low, below his grasp and as he lowered himself she raised herself, leading with her shoulder, and drove him back and onto his tailbone.

She crotched into a fighting position and prepared herself, but no one else came.

She heard a long whistle and looked around to see Taylor walking toward her. She smirked at his expression and prepared herself for flirtatious comments.

"That was pretty impressive. The way your body moves."

He looked her up and down and bit his lip.

She moved to him in a seductive way and he could not help but smile. She kissed him.

"It's a shame you only like to look and not touch. If you decide you want to know I will show you what this body is truly capable of."

Her smile deepened as she watched the color drain from his face.

She turned and walked away. Making sure her hips swiveled and dipped with each step.

Taylor watched Jill walk away, the crotch of his pants tightening. Damn that woman. Why could she be a bit more lady like. He wanted to be the flirtatious one turning her into a pile of quivering jelly not her doing that to him.

He face palmed. Was he really this old fashioned.

He pulled out his locked international phone and pressed a number. Someone answered and he immediately began speaking.

"This is agent double 0431. I need a clean up at my location. Repairs needed."

"How many hostiles survived? "

"four."

"Clean up and recovery needed at double 0431 location. Along with repair."

He hung up and slowly walked back into the house. He found Jill comforting Sada and her family and calling for more security for the house.

In the end Jill and Taylor decided to stay in a hotel for the night. When the family tried to argue they said that their flight was leaving very early and they did not want to disturb them.

Jill picked the best hotel in the city and thought about opening a boutique hotel there. She thought about it so much she called someone to discuss the possibility.

The company that her father built was a real-estate holding company and it had many businesses and holdings all over the world. The company had been looking for a way to get into the hotel business and Jill was now convincing them to start in India.

Taylor frowned as she sent pictures of three possible locations. When she finished he looked at her over his menu.

"You may be working too much during our honeymoon."

She looked up and saw that his face was genuinely scrunched up in an odd look.

"You are working as well. Two jobs actually."

"Yes, but I actually know how to have fun too."

"Oh really?"

She slipped her shoe off and slid her bare foot into his lap, down his thigh and into his crotch. He sat up straight and looked at her wide eyed. Then he slowly smiled.

"I guess you are a quick learner."

She put her menu down and took the room's iPad from him and added her order. She saw he had not ordered yet so she handed it back. She let him order and went right into what she had been dying to say.

"Taylor. We started out awkwardly. But I am actually already fully invested in this marriage. I have been to two continents with you and today I was attacked with you. I really want to be with you. Now of you don't want to be with me just tell me and I will dial back my emotions and stay in my lane. Because I don't want to force myself on you if you are not even…"

"So when you ask a question there needs to be a pause so that you can receive an answer. Oh wait. You didn't really form a question yet did you?"

Jill's eyes went wide then she smiled. "Sorry."

He reached out and took her hands in his. He was looking into her eyes but he was thinking about how hands so small and delicate could kill and maim with such ease.

"Yes Mrs. Bridge. I am here for the long haul. It is just that I am finding out that I have a very old-fashioned way of seeing things so I get lost with your forwardness sometimes."

He paused to see if she would become upset. She just had an ooooh moment but didn't say anything.

"Just be patient with me and give me time to adjust."

She smiled broadly and he instantly knew that he was in trouble.

She came and politely sat in his lap, an arm around his shoulders and the other on his thigh.

"I don't remember you being patient with me."

"But that was different. Your brother may already be on a ticking time bomb that is about to go off."

She kissed his ear.

"True but it is an excuse too."

The food service elevator rang to announce its arrival and she stood up and got their food. He frowned as he found himself missing her warmth on his lap. She placed his food in front of him and smiled.

"Let's call it an early night then. I want to get a head start on tomorrow. I heard the next city is even more beautiful than this one."

Everything was tame when they went to bed and they ended up spooning all night. He did have difficulty with her negligee but he maintained himself well, once again to Jill's chagrin.

The next city was nestled in a mountain range and it was absolutely breathtaking. They both knew that the next letter was not here so they decided, Jill decided, to just have a nice time.

What did a nice time mean exactly? Well it meant spending every moment together and taking non-stop pictures, eating some food, then spend money on yourselves, sleep, wake up, and repeat.

And that's what they did for the next three locations.

Jill sat across the room from him. Her eyes semi closed, a soft smile on her lips. Taylor smiled broadly.

"Are you trying to seduce me?"

"Is it working?"

"Come here and find out."

He laughed out loud as she jumped up and scampered over to him like a little kid.

"Could you be any cuter?"

"Of course I could. But I am trying to be sexy not cute."

He shook his head lightly and squeezed her thigh out of habit. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. It seemed like the longer he knew her the more in love he was with her. He could not deny this.

She kissed his ear and then laid her head on his shoulder. She sighed and it was such a simple thing and seemed so sensual to him, he just closed his eyes and let the smell and feel of her wash over him.

"You know I am not really as bold as I seem. I am still just a scared virgin pretending to be worldly and knowledgeable. But my world is business and all my knowledge is from books. I hope that I am not doing all of this wrong."

"You are perfect. And what you do is your special perfection. Never doubt yourself again."

She hugged him tighter and he kissed her neck and then he nibbled on her shoulder.

He stood up with her in his arms and walked her to the bedroom they were sharing. He washed her in his kisses. Savoring her taste and feel. She writhed under him not really sure how she was going to handle his pleasure, not really sure if she could even please him.

He put her on her back and he began to show her, to teach her, and at the same time he explored her and learned every inch of her being. She writhed and tensed and moaned. She was not sure what she was feeling. Her body was on a roller-coaster in full sensory overload.

Then he slowly, gently, slid in side her. It was so gentle so lovingly and carefully done that she did not realize that the immense pleasure she was feeling was her losing her virginity.

They danced in this way all night. Learning each other. Defining what they meant to each other, and discovering what love actually could be.
