Dangerously In Love

The Honeymoon

Jack's phone rings stirring him from his sleep. He quickly reaches over and grabs it before it awakens Jackie. Looking at the screen he sees it's Mac calling him. He figures it has to be important considering Mac knows he is on his honeymoon.

"Yes, Mac."

"Hey Jack, I'm sorry to disturb you, but Giancana left a message."

"What did he say?"

"'I was hurt that I wasn't invited to your wedding, just wanted to wish you and the Mrs. congratulations. Still have unfinished business, love Sam,'" Mac says.

Jack sighs and rubs his temple.

"Giancana isn't going to be satisfied until I kill him," Jack replies, "right now I'm not going to worry about him, I'll take care of him when I come back. Just keep surveillance on him and keep me updated.

"Got it," Mac says before hanging up.

"Jack honey is everything ok," Jackie asks half-asleep her hand rubbing his bare chest.

"Yes everything is fine," he replies closing his eyes.

Jackie does say anything just snuggles deeper into his embrace. He places a kiss on her forehead.

"Last night was fun," she says breaking the silence that fell between them.

"It was worth the wait," he groans as he stretches his body.

"It was. I forgot how much fun it was making love to you," she teases knowing that her statement will grab his attention.

"Then let me remind you again."

A half-hour later they lay tangled in the sheets while Jack enjoys a cigar. Jackie lies beside her husband watching, studying him.

He is thinking about how good Jackie feels. Sex with her felt like a drug that he could never get enough of the high it gives. Her beauty, intelligence, personality, and sex is a dangerous combination that can make any man addicted. Yet there is an intimacy they have achieved that makes their lovemaking exciting.

"Can I try?" Jackie's voice breaks into his thoughts.

"Try what?"

"Your cigar. I read somewhere that after you have amazing sex, you have a cigarette or in your case a cigar."

He chuckles and puts the cigar into the ashtray.

"I'm glad to know that I've satisfied you kid, but I don't want you to pick up a bad habit. Can't have you ruining your pretty little lungs."

She rolls her eyes and snuggles closer. "So what are we going to do today?"

"I don't know. Whatever your heart desires."

"Maybe go inland and do some sightseeing. If possible some shopping?"

"You had me up until you mentioned shopping."

"Please, Jack? I promise I won't take long I just want to look at a few clothes," she says softening her voice knowing he couldn't resist her when she did that.

Quickly she begins to nibble on his ear hoping to convince him.

"Alright, alright, we can go shopping I pray that it doesn't take up half the day," Jack says getting out of bed.

"Good, maybe I'll even stop to pick up more lingerie," she replies stretching across their messy bed.

Jack pauses and looks at her. "Hurry up," he replies.

They walk down the street hand and hand while Jack enjoys another cigar. They stop in front of a storefront filled with beautiful multi-colored dresses.

"They're beautiful," Jackie says admiring one pink colored sundress.

"They are," Jack replies before taking a drag of his cigar.

He knows Jackie is going to want the dress so before she can ask he'll buy it for her.

"Grab your size and meet me inside," Jack says to Jackie.

Jack goes inside the store leaving Jackie to search for her size. He looks around at the sea of other colorful dresses. Just then Jackie enters the store with the dress in her size on her arm.

"I found it," she says shyly standing in front of her husband.

"Good, do you want to take a look around before I pay for this?" he asks knowing she'll probably say yes.

"I think I'm good, besides I don't want to spend my entire honeymoon shopping," she replies shocking him.

Without another word, Jack pays for the dress and escorts Jackie out of the shop.

"Thank you, Bunny," she says with a giggle.

He takes another drag of his cigar shaking his head.

"Please don't call me that in public," he replies after exhaling.

"Ok, I'm sorry Mr. Kennedy. I know you have to maintain your dangerous image," she teases.

He smiles and takes her hand. "Only to everyone else, but you'll never have to worry about experiencing that side of me," he finishes the statement with a kiss on her cheek.

He plans to keep his life in the mafia world separate from his personal life. The last thing he needs again is for there to be a repeat of what happened to Jackie. He doesn't want to expose her to that part of his life or how he can be when he's handling business.

Later on that night they are lying on a blanket on the beach enjoying the beautiful full moon and cool breeze. They lay there in silence just taking in the sounds of waves crashing against the shore, letting their nostrils be filled with the smell of salt and his third cigar of the day.

"Jack," Jackie says interrupting.

"Yes," he replies.

"Do you think you'll ever leave the mafia world?"

He doesn't say anything. He's thought about how he can keep things separate but leaving that lifestyle completely never crossed his mind.

"I never thought about it. I have you and I will do everything in my power to protect you. That part of my life will not interfere with our marriage."

She sits up and looks at him. He looks at her as the moonlight illuminates her skin. She looks like she has a halo, light glowing from within.

"Jackie, I'm not saying I won't consider it. You have to understand that the life I chose to live is not easy to get out of. I love you and like I said I will do all I can to keep you safe."

He knows it's not the answer she wanted to hear, but it's the truth.

"I know you'll protect me, but I can't help but feel scared. I don't want to go through that all over again. Getting caught in the middle because one of your enemies is trying to prove a point."

"It won't happen again Jackie I promise. When we return home I'll take care of Sam myself and you'll never have to worry about him again," Jack replies pulling her in for a passionate kiss.

Feeling her semi-naked body pressed against his as well as the feeling of her soft lips has his libido in overdrive.

With one hand he manages to unhook the back of her bikini top and pull apart the bow that also kept it in place. She stops kissing him tossing it off to the side.

He captures her lips again before working on getting her bottoms down while she works on getting his swim trunks off. Once they are both successful in their task she positions herself on top.

While she rode him towards the feeling of pure ecstasy he looks at her. He feels lucky that he was given a second chance. He loves her so much and never thought he could be this happy with someone.
