Taking Chances (13 page)

Tyler swallowed the lump in his throat and gave his pledge to Jenna: “Up until now I lived life to succeed. I worked hard and spent the rest of my time in search of the ultimate adventure, the next adrenaline rush. You Jenna and the life that lies ahead of us are the greatest adventure I could ever imagine. You have given me what I have always been looking for and I want to do that for you in return.”

“May I have the rings please?” Sara and Dean gave the
officiator the simple platinum bands.

Giving Tyler the ring he was to place on Jenna’s
finger he asked; “Tyler, do you take Jenna as your wife? Do you promise to love honor and cherish her for as long as you shall live?”

Without hesitation Tyler responded with an emphatic “I do.”
Placing the ring on his beloved’s finger he smiled and winked at her.

Handing the ring Jenna she had to put on Tyler’s finger he asked her;
Jenna do you take Tyler for your husband? Do you promise to love honor and cherish him for as long as you shall live?”

With a tear falling down her cheek Jenna answered “I do.”

Then by the powers given to me by the city of London I pronounce you man and wife.

Tyler wiped the tear from Jenna’s cheek and leaned in to kiss her deeply.

After the ceremony everyone posed for pictures. They all then headed to a long table where they were served a delicious meal and had a wonderful time. Julia much to the surprise of Tyler and Jenna had arranged for a local musician to come. He played a beautiful acoustic version of a song that the couple loved. They held each other close and moved to the music.
After a moment everyone else joined in. Though it was small it was still the most beautiful wedding Jenna could have ever imagined.

Jenna, Sara and Veronica were quick becoming a trio. They were having a ton of fun talking and getting to know each other.
They discussed Veronicas plans for a nursery and her request that maybe her new sister in law would do something special for them to put in there, they discussed Jenna’s desire to redecorate some of the penthouse. They then turned their attention to Sara. Asking when she was going to open the second art gallery she wanted and how things were going with Dalton the guy she has be seeing on and off for over 3 years. Jenna knew of her struggles with Dalton. He
was a divorce lawyer who only saw the worst things about relationships all day and because of that doesn’t believe in marriage. Poor Sara is head over heels in love with him much to the dismay of her brother.

Tyler a spent as much time as he could looking at his new wife. She was bewitching him with her smiles and laughs. Never had he imagined that he would have feelings like he did for anyone. Before Jenna his life was his own he did what he wanted and he did things how he wanted. Now even though they had only been married for a few hours his life was about her. How could he make her smile at him how could he make her happy and keep her safe?
His father and Dean were laughing at him and his lack of attention to anything but his wife.

Jenna was talking to her knew father in law and noticed her husband deep in thought. She smiled. He looked so handsome when he had that contemplative look on his face, as if he had to solve the problems
of everyone around him. He really was a handsome man. She couldn’t
believe how the fates had blessed her with him.

Just after sunset the happy couple hugged everyone goodbye and left for their honeymoon. Jenna had no idea where they were going and as much as that made her want to panic, she let Tyler have his secret. There was a limo waiting for them with
all of their
luggage from the hotel. Jenna
simply added a white cashmere cardigan instead of changing because Tyler reassured her it wasn’t going to be a long drive.

Chapter eighteen

Once alone inside the car Tyler grabbed Jenna and pulled her onto his lap. Grabbing her left hand in his he held their hands so their wedding bands were on display.

“My wife.”
Kissing her hand and holding her to him he just sat there with her. “I am going to make you happy Jenna, I swear I will.”

“I never doubted you would Ty.
My husband.”
Jenna couldn’t help but smile at the words she said. “I
can’t
believe it. You are mine. So where are you taking me husband?”

“I am taking you to the one place I know you will be truly comfortable and happy. Tonight we will be flying back home. The jet has a small sleeping area you didn’t see on the way because you were so bus
y planning this beautiful day. I am sure we can find a way to pass the time until we arrive in New York. How does that sound princess?” Tyler nuzzled her neck lovingly inhaling the sweet scent of her.

“I love that idea baby, but are you sure that’s what you want?” She moaned and leaned into him even more awhile his lips move up and down her neck and his hand rubbed her back.

“I want to be with you and I want you to be ecstatically and rapturously happy every day
from now on. For now I know you are getting
a little home sick and miss you...um
…our little furry man so we are going home.
Maybe if you are feeling up to it in a few weeks I will take you down to the Bahamas to see the new resort and show you some beautiful beaches.” He moved his mouth to her ear and nibbled the sensitive lobe.

Jenna could barely concentrate on anything with his constant assault on he senses. The fee
l of his lips and hands on her the smell of him the heat off his body onto hers and the deep rumble of his voice were all working together to make her crazy. Jenna squirmed on his lap and a moan escaped her lips. Just when she thought she could take no
more the
limo stopped and they were at the airport. She actually groaned with disappointment.

Before the driver opened the door she looked her husband right in the eye and she could only manage one statement.

“Get
me on that plane now!”
She kissed him deeply then got out of the limo.

Groaning Tyler followed his wife. Thanking the driver he took her hand and the boarded the plane.

Once the plane was in the air Jenna was in her husband’s lap
with her arms around his neck. It was time to repay him for the teasing he gave her in the limo. Her soft lips found his neck and kissed it while her hands undid his tie. Her teeth lightly nipped his ear and she felt and heard him groan. The couple stopped and looked up when they heard the flight attendant clear his throat.

“Mr. and Mrs. Johnson first of all I would like to say congratulations. I have set out some champagne and strawberries for you. The small refrigerator also has some finger sandwiches and fruit for you if you desire. I will spend the flight
in my quarters and if you need me I will be available.” The man pointed towards the small compartment that held a bed entertainment center and computer for the staff if needed.

“Thanks Jordan, that’s more than enough.” Tyler smiled at the man and let him know he wasn’t needed anymore.

“Oh, the pilots have asked me to say congratulations from them also.” Smiling Jordan took his leave and let the newlyweds have their private time.

Tyler placed Jenna on her feet and stood up. He took her hand and led her toward the back of the plane. They went past the bathroom which had a small shower stall in it to the bedroom. It was small but luxurious. There was a king size bed and a closet. The line of windows had a long curtain that opened when Tyler hit a button.

Tyler closed the door and smiled at his wife with a predatory kind of smile. He removed his jacket and
tie
and kicked off his shoes. Moving closer to his beloved he removed her sweater. Turned her around and kissed her shoulder while he untied the sash around her waist, tossing the silk ribbon onto the chair with his jacket. His fingers pulled up the bottom of the camisole she wore. Without him saying a word Jenna lifted her arms and let him remove her top.
He pushed his hair over her one shoulder and licked and nipped at the back of her neck. His fingers deftly undid the two buttons the held her skirt shut.

Jenna turned round and put her hand on Tyler’s
shoulder as she stepped out of the full skirt. Standing there in just a pair of lacy panties and a strapless bra she smiled at him.

“My turn.”
She slowly undid the buttons on his shirt and pushed it off. Next she removed his pants and added them to the pile of clothes in the chair. Jenna pushed his boxer briefs off and pushed him onto the bed. Licking her lips she looked right into his eyes while she removed her panties and bra.

“Come
here baby.” Tyler held his hands out and Jenna straddled his lap wrapping her arms around his neck. Tyler reached up and removed the barrette holding her hair.

“I love your hair down.” He ran his hand through her hair and then let his finge
rs run softly down her spine making her shiver.

She could barely manage to speak when his lips made contact with her breast. She arched her back and dug her fingers into his shoulders. Running her fingers through his perpetually mussed yet oh so sexy hair she pulled him up to kiss her.
He pulled back and smiled at her lying
on his back then rolling so he was over her he looked into her eyes. They had no words to say even if they weren’t overcome with the eroticism of the moment to speak. Jenna moaned and arched up into him as he ran his hand down her side under her him and held her thigh. Eyes closed lips parted she ran her hands down his chest and wrapped her leg around him.

Tyler nearly lost his mind when he entered her body. Her silken heat made him want move go hard and fast. But he refused to give into that urge. Not tonight he told himself. He was going to make love to his wife slowly. He was going to make her ache for him the way he does for her.

The feel of him over her, inside her, surrounding her, made her lose her mind. When she could no longer take the sweet agony she pushed his chest rolling him over and straddling him. Jenna looked down at him with a wicked little grin on her face. She used her nails and lightly scratched his
well-defined
abs.
His hands were holding her hips while she moved over him. She had her head back and moaned, moving faster, harder, feeling him lose control at the same time she did.

“Tyler!!”
The way she cried his name was possessive, she was letting him know he was hers and in return she was his completely. The site of her losing control like that pushed him over the edge and he joined her in climax.

Jenna fell forward resting her cheek on his chest. He ran his fingers through her hair and kissed the top of her head.

“I love you Jenna.” He rolled them onto their sides and lay with his arms around her and rubbed his cheek on the top of her head. He pulled the cover up held her and savored the feel of her next to him.

Several pleasure
filled hours later the couple was dressed and sipping champagne and snacking on some of the finger sandwiches that were prepared for them. Jordan came into the cabin and made sure they were happy and started to prepare everything for landing. Jenna secured her seatbelt and Tyler took her hand while they made their decent into New York. Once they were off the plane they got into a
town car
and headed off to the penthouse. Tyler sent a quick text message to make sure everything he had arrange was in order.

“I know you probably wanted to go somewhere exotic, but this is honestly the best place in the world to me right now.” Jenna looked at her husband while they rode the elevator up to the penthouse.

“I’ve been everywhere Jen; to be with you and be happy is all I want. We are going to take it slow. I know you going to London were a huge step for you and when you feel ready we will go further. I will eventually show you everything you have ever wanted to. You are going to sketch the places you have only ever dreamed of.” He kissed her hand and when the elevator door opened he swept her off her feet.

Jenna had her arms around his neck and when they got to the door she reached down and opened the door. Tyler carried his bride over the threshold of their home and kissed her before setting her down. Before Jenna could kiss him back she was greeted with the sound of Oscar barking and the sound of jingling tags as he ran form the master bedroom.

“Oscar!!!!” She was on her knees scooping the small dog up in her arms, happily kissing his furry head and receiving
ecstatic dog kisses in return. Wagging his tail so hard his whole body shook the dog turned his attention to Tyler who picked the dog up and scratched his ears.

“I had Adam drop him off a short while ago and make sure the fridge was filled with enough good eats so we won’t have to go out for a few days.” He winked and put his hand out to help her up.

“How did this happen? How is it that less than a year ago I was a prisoner in my own home, scared alone and heart broken and now I’m married and happy and more confident than I have ever been?” Jenna wiped a tear from her eye and stepped into Tyler’
s outstretched arm.
She hugged her husband her furry baby.
