A Hidden Threat

Chapter 28

They stayed in each others arms for hours. Neither of them wanting the night to end. Both wanting so much more, but it would have to wait for the right time. Jack broke the sweet silence.

"Hey...why don't I start you a warm bath" he said.

He needed to step away from the situation before he couldn't control himself.

"mm..that sounds great just about now?" Sam replied. She looked at him. Oh how she loved this man. She smiled and he smiled back, as he made his way to the bathroom.

"Oh My God" she said to herself. Is this really happening? Did he just kiss me? did I just kiss him back? She was in total awe. Her very dream had come true. She sat there and began to day dream. Oh how she wished her fantasies would come true. But all in good time, all in good time. As he returned from the bathroom, all ready for her to soak and bathe, he could see her on the sofa, day dreaming. He had an inkling of what she was dreaming about. How he wished he could make it reality, but that time would come soon enough.

"hey" he called out to her. She didn't respond. He didn't want to startle her so he came closer to her and touched her shoulder. No success. She jumped.

"Jack...I didn't see you come out of the bathroom" she said.

"Ah Yea..i kind of got that.....dreaming were we" he said with that sinister smile of his.

She didn't say nothing. But the shade of red that she was turning completely gave her away. He knew exactly where her mind was. Why? Because his mind was there was well.

"Your bath is ready....it's not to hot or anything...just warm enough to soak in...." He tried to lighten the mood.

"Thanks Jack..." she said as she tried to get up from the sofa. Obviously needing, help he came to her side and lifted her up.

"You gonna be ok in there?" he asked. Wondering how she was going to get down in the tub. He should of thought about that sooner.

"Ahh...Yea..I'll be fine" she said.

"O.k. Well we are running low on groceries...so...." He said pausing. They were able to be apart for longer periods. Several hours apart were o.k. now. So he felt it was o.k. to go get some stuff, and he needed the time away to cool himself down. He grabbed his keys, and checked on her one more time. She was already in the bathroom so he just shouted through the door.

"Sam you need anything?" he asked.

She heard him through the door. She didn't respond quickly because she honestly wanted to say "you jack, You I need you" but she digressed..

"No..I'm good...Thanks Jack" she replied.

"You sure your betcha" he replied back. Oh this man was a happy man. He even had an extra kick to his step. He had finally said it. He had finally kissed this women that he had loved for so long. Could life get anymore better.

Sam was soaking in her bath. That he made it for her, made it the best bath she had ever had. She just sat and soaked. Her rubbed her belly with body wash, and started to hum. She even shocked herself. But she started to hum, the song her mother used to sing to her. Realizing that all the fears and uncertainties she had for so many months, were just melting away. Jack loved her. He wanted her and this child even if it wasn't his. Just thinking of it made her grin from ear to ear. She started to doze when she suddenly heard a bang outside the door.

"he must of forgotten something" she said to herself.

"Hey you...did you forget something?" she yelled out, as she started to get out of the bath, and dry herself off. She made her way to the door, only for it to slam open. It wasn't Jack. She screamed only for a man dressed in black to cover her mouth. She fought as hard as she could but she didn't have the strength, before she knew she was fading. She was unconscious.
