The Queen's Secret Affair

Chapter 15

"Good morning beautiful," Jackie hears as her eyes flutter open. She looks into his eyes and smiles. "Good morning honey," she replies trying to stretch but she remembers her legs intertwined with Jack's.

"How did you sleep," he asks before kissing her.

"Wonderful, I can get used to this," she replies kissing him back while she reaches down to massage a particular part of his anatomy.

He lets out a low chuckle, "I think I can get used to this too," he groans as he grabs her leg wrapping it around his waist.

Before she knows it he's on top sliding inside her. "Today I'm going to tell my mother about us," she says before letting out a moan.

"Ok," he groans as he continues to stroke.

"I just pray she...she...oh..." she moans.

"Please Jackie...can we talk about this...later..." he says before groaning.

"Alright..." she manages to get out before letting out a loud moan.

A little while later they both get out of the shower feeling refreshed and thoroughly satisfied.

"You make a girl not want to go to work," Jackie purrs like a satisfied kitten stretching across the still messy bed.

"Because I aim to please," he says grabbing her ankles and pulling her towards him causing her to let out a small scream.

Jack pulls her into his arms and kisses her. "I love you kid."

"I love you too Bunny," she says before kissing his lips.

Jack looks at her with a raised eyebrow. "Bunny?" he asks with humor.

"Yes, you are soft, cute, cuddly, and your ears remind me of one," she giggles before giving him another peck.

"First time I've ever been compared to a bunny. Just do me a favor just don't call me that in public."

"Alright...I understand you have the big strong man image you have to maintain."

"Thank you," he laughs.

Later on that day Jackie is sitting in her office when her secretary comes across her intercom.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here," she says.

"Send her in please," she replies.

Jackie takes a deep breath as she is nervous about telling her mother about her and Jack. She loves Jack and he loves her, this is the happiest she's been since her beloved father has passed. She hopes her mother can respect her decision to be with Jack and accept one day they plan to marry.

Janét walks in removing her gloves. "Jacqueline, dear it's good to see you," Janét says kissing her daughter on both cheeks.

"Hello mother, it's good to see you too," Jackie replies motioning for her mother to take a seat on the sofa in front of the fireplace.

"I got your message saying you wanted to talk, so what did you want to talk about?" Janét says wanting to get straight to the point.

"Yes, mother there is something of great importance I wanted to talk to you about," Jackie says looking down at her hands.

"Jacqueline, is there something wrong?" Janét asks concerned.

"No... the reason I asked you here today mother is to tell you about a man I've been seeing for the past nine months. A man whom I've fallen madly in love with," Jackie says.

"Oh really, I'm assuming it's Lord Vanderbilt's son."

"No, we went on one date and it didn't work out."

"Then Lord Marquand's son, Pierre?" Janét asks confused.

"No mother, it's nobody we know," Jackie says shifting in her seat.

"Then who is it, Jacqueline?"

"Remember the handsome gentleman named John Kennedy who is building his school here?"

Janét pauses. "Yes, I remember him. Tall, the almost scrawny young man from the groundbreaking ceremony. What about him?"

Jack is far from scrawny, Jackie thinks to herself.

"Well he is the man I have been seeing for the past nine months," Jackie says looking her mother in the eye.

Janét sits there staring at her daughter awaiting her to say she was kidding or for her to start laughing.

"I'm sorry did you just say you have been seeing that American man for the past nine months?" Janét asks not believing what she just heard.

"Yes mother, Jack and I have been seeing each other for the past nine months. We're in love and I hope to marry him soon."

Janét looks at her daughter and can't believe her ears. She is surprised her daughter would turn her back on her country this way.

"Jacqueline Bouvier! How could you do this to me, to your country!? Dating is one thing, but you are talking about marrying this man. A foreigner out of all people!"

"Mother I don't care about where Jack is from, and why does it matter. I told you a long time ago if I get married I want to get married for love, not practicality. I fell in love with Jack and he loves me too. Why can't that be enough?"

"Jacqueline, think about what that says to your subjects! It's like you are saying no Le Martinique man is good enough for the crown!"

"That is not what I am saying! I can't help who I fell in love with. You and Daddy married for love! So why can't I?"

"I and your father are different, Jacqueline! Right now you are a female leader without a husband. You need a strong man, a strong Le Martinique man to stand beside you. Not some American!"

"So just because Jack isn't from here, he isn't good enough for me? What message will that send to the rest of the world? A foreigner isn't good enough for the Queen."

"No Jacqueline! You have to understand how this will look in public opinion! Nobody is going to support your marriage if you marry that man! You need all the support of your people Jacqueline, don't turn your back on them!"

"What about me? Am I not allowed to have some sort of happiness? I lost my father, and never got a chance to properly grieve because I had to help plan his funeral and take over his duties! Then when I finally find a man who makes me happy for the first time in a long time, I have to give him up! It's not fair!" Jackie says standing up.

"Life isn't fair Jacqueline! We all have to sacrifice for the greater good!"

"Then I guess this will be the first time I won't sacrifice then. I love this man and he loves me. If you and Parliament can't accept it, then it's too bad," Jackie says walking over to her desk to continue her work.

Janét looks at her daughter. She knows she is stubborn like her late husband. Jackie isn't going to give Jack up, so she will have to take matters into her own hands.

"Fine Jacqueline!" Janét says before walking out of Jackie's office.
