Fourth Vector Ch. 16

"I know I haven't been the best guest today, but for what it's worth, I'm glad to have met you today," he said. "It will take a long time for me to accept everything you told me, but I do want you in my life. You're my only link to the past now."

She looked up and patted his cheek. "I'll be that for you. You and Vera are my only living relatives. I'll do anything for you both."

She leaned up to kiss his cheek before she moved back to the hallway. "Goodnight, Jack. Sleep well."

"You too," he said, getting comfortable on the couch.

As soon as the lights were out, Jack looked up at the ceiling and sighed. He thought he'd have trouble getting to sleep tonight with everything that had happened today, but he underestimated how emotionally drained he was. It wasn't much more than five minutes after the light was out that he was out too, dozing off to dreamland.

*****

Jack was the first one to wake up the next morning. As he sat up and stretched from the couch, he realized what an awful idea it was to sleep there. He was incredibly stiff, and no amount of stretching could seem to get the kink out of his neck. Fortunately for him, he wasn't alone for very long.

Vera was the first one to show up, leaving her room and entering the living room. "Oh, hey," she said softly, coming to sit next to him on the couch. "How'd you sleep?"

"Surprisingly, not bad," he said. "As well as I could on this couch." He patted it for emphasis. "What about you?"

Vera smiled. "I've had better nights of sleep, believe it or not."

Jack chuckled. "I can't imagine why."

Vera giggled and rested her head against his shoulder. "Can I say something out loud and you won't think I'm weird?"

"Of course. After yesterday, you're really entitled to such."

"I'm just glad it's you," she said finally. "I'm glad you're my brother, Jack. I always had this gut feeling about you, and for so long I didn't know what it was. But of all people, I'm just really happy it's you. I never had a brother before."

He reached around her shoulder and pulled her in for a hug. "Me too, Vera. You're right, it is a bit weird. And even though I do have a sister, I'm glad to now have you as well."

Vera nodded. "I'll be there to support you in any way I can, okay? I know this is going to be hard for you, but you'll always have me behind you."

Jack smiled warmly. "I know you'll be. I love you, you know that? Even before I found out you were family, I loved you as a sister. I just don't think I ever told you."

Vera grinned. "I love you too. Even though you've turned my life upside down."

Jack nearly snorted. "Sorry about that. It was nothing I wanted, I assure you."

"I know that, I'm just enjoying teasing you," she joked.

"You've been my sister for less than a day and you already have the behavior down," he teased. "This is going to be enjoyable," he added with a heavy degree of sarcasm.

She poked him in the side. "You better get used to it!"

They spent some more time talking together while the rest of the house woke up. The next out of bed was Abigail, who placed a gentle kiss against his lips once she emerged into the living room. The next was Kat though, and based upon the look in her dark eyes, she hadn't slept well the previous night.

"Morning, Jack," she said with reservation, as she sat across from him.

"Morning, Kat," he replied awkwardly. He didn't mean it to come out that way, but there was so much he wanted to say to her that he didn't know where to begin. He also wanted some privacy for that conversation, and there wasn't much to be had in the house at that point. The brief interaction left him feeling remorseful, and he didn't know how to fix it.

He should have trusted his grandmother to have a plan.

When Evelyn emerged from her bedroom, she was dressed to go out. Jack had to admit for a ninety year old woman, she was still remarkably mobile.

"Good morning all," she chirped, stepping into the living room. "It's a beautiful day outside, and I thought we could enjoy picking some fresh berries from a field not too far from here."

"That sounds lovely actually," said Abigail. "I could go for some fresh fruit!"

"Me too," added Vera. "What do you have growing here?"

"There's a blueberry field that I really like," said Evelyn. "They are so juicy and just melt in your mouth. I have a few baskets we can take with us to grab all we want." Evelyn then looked at Jack and gave him a wink. She gestured to Kat, and in that moment, he understood exactly what she was trying to do.

"If it's all right with the rest of you, I think I'll stay behind," he said, focusing on Kat. "I'm just not in the mood to pick berries."

"Suit yourself, dear," said Evelyn. "We'll bring you back plenty." She then turned to Kat. "Kat, would you mind keeping Jack company while we go out?" She gave a knowing look to the younger woman, leaving no doubt at her intentions.

Kat nodded all too eagerly. "That's fine."

"Lovely, just lovely," gushed Evelyn. As she, Vera, and Abigail got ready to go, Jack and Kat sat in awkward silence, mostly not daring to look at each other.

"We'll be back in a few hours," said Evelyn as they approached the door. "If you need more time, just tie something to the door so we know."

Kat looked over at her in confusion. "More time for what?"

Evelyn smiled knowingly. "Just time." She winked at Jack as she shut the door, leaving the two of them alone at last.

It was an awkward silence that descended upon them both once they were finally alone. Kat looked uncomfortable, upset, and tired still from her lack of sleep. Jack hated to see her like this, but he could also recognize his role in making her this way. It was time for peace between them.

"Kat, would you come here?" he asked, patting the empty space beside him on the couch.

She looked at him like a starving puppy who just received some food. Those vulnerable sky-blue eyes were on him in a heartbeat. "Are you sure, Jack?"

He nodded silently.

She pushed up from her spot on the chair and approached him on the couch. She wasn't wearing much this morning, not much more than her usual sleeping clothes that he'd delighted in removing too many times to count. Despite the look in her eyes, she still looked beautiful to him, and it was time for him to put her heart back into place.

"It's been a crazy couple of days," he said, as he pulled her into his lap. Kat came willingly, resting her bottom against his lap and pressing her face against his chest. It was a cozy position, and it just felt right to hold her like this once more.

"You can say that again," she muttered, her words slightly muffled by his chest.

"Listen, Kat, I'm sorry for how I treated you the past couple days. It wasn't right."

She shook her head, her voice already weak. "It wasn't right for me to keep it from you for so long. I should have told you sooner."

He forced her chin up to look at him. "No, I don't think it would've helped. I've thought about it and you were right to do what you did. It was better to do it this way when you could back it up with some proof. Without it, I think our relationship would have been even more strained. As much as I hate to say it, this was the best way."

A tear fell from her eye, staining her cheek. "I could've done it a better way. You know the last t-thing I'd want to do is hurt you."

He nodded silently and wiped the tear from her face. "I thought I was hurt. I thought a lot of things, and not many of them were good. I doubted you and I doubted this." Jack motioned between their chests. "After I had some time to think, and after Evelyn helped me see some sense, I know I shouldn't have been so hard on you. You were doing this the best way you could because you believe in this so much that you've put your entire life in jeopardy just to find me."

Kat nodded eagerly. "I'd do anything for you. It was a sacrifice I was willing to make, even before I met you. Then when you were here, after we'd met, I couldn't keep away from you. I didn't know if I was going crazy, thinking that it was just an obsession after searching for you for so long, but I realized it wasn't."

He caressed her cheek lovingly. "What was it then, Kat?"

She locked eyes with him. "It was love, Jack. I fell in love with you. Not just for who this prophecy says you are, but for who you are in here." She touched his chest softly. "This is what makes you the man I love. The man I want to spend the rest of my life with. That's why this whole thing hurt so bad. I thought I lost the only man I've ever loved."

Jack shook his head. "You haven't lost me, Kat. You couldn't lose me." He caressed her soft jaw before pulling her lips to his. Surprisingly, she pushed eagerly into his kiss, almost losing control once their lips touched. Once he pulled away, he looked deep into her eyes. "I love you, Kat."

She smiled genuinely as tears flowed down both cheeks. "I've been waiting for so long to hear you say that. You have no idea, Jack."

He chuckled and kissed her again. "That's not what I thought you might say when I told you that."

She giggled and pressed him back on the couch, giving him a devastating sensual kiss. "I love you, Jack," she whispered between lip locks. "Even if we were to spend the rest of our lives on this island with nothing else happening in our lives, I'd still choose to spend every second with you. I love you for who you are inside."

He slid his fingers through her hair. "Even with Abigail too? Because I love her as much as I love you."

Kat nodded quickly. "Even with Abigail. She can be your sea wife as long as I'm your land wife, my king. Does that work for you?" She ended the sentence by grinding her hips against his, causing a low moan to escape from his lips.

"You really shouldn't keep that up," he warned. "I'd be likely just to flip you on your back on this couch and take you."

Then Kat said one of the sexiest things he'd ever heard. "Or you can take me to bed. And you can make love to me, Jack. Would you like that? Would you like to be the first and only man to slide your cock inside me?" She grabbed his manhood between them, which had gone from relatively soft to throbbing hard in a matter of seconds.

He nodded and kissed her. "I will, Kat. As long as you forgive me for how I've treated you the last few days?"

She smiled. "I do. As long as you forgive me for my poor choices in breaking this news to you?"

He replied to that with a hearty smack against her rear end which made her yelp and then giggle. "I'll take that as a yes. My room is that way, Jack!"

With enough strength, he managed to push off from the couch while still holding Kat in his arms. He carried her like a new bride down the hall, before going into the room she'd mentioned. Inside was a large bed right in the middle, surrounded by two vanities on either side, and a large chest at the foot of the bed.

"I like your room," he said, as he laid her down softly on the bed.

"I don't spend nearly enough time at this house," she said, before gesturing for him to join her. "But it's time to at least break in the bed."

Jack grinned and pulled his shirt off. He watched as her eyes took in his torso, the muscular outline of his shoulders and chest as they tapered down his sides. His trousers were already tented from their earlier activity, and Kat soon leaned forward to loosen them for him. "I hope we don't have to rush, but just lock the bedroom door just in case."

"I think we'll be okay," he said with a laugh, as his trousers hit the floor. "I have a feeling Evelyn knew what was coming."

Kat turned red. "Did you two . . .?"

"No, we didn't talk about it. But it wouldn't surprise me if she guessed this would happen. She has a lot of knowledge for ninety years," said Jack.

Kat smiled. "That she does. She's a wonderful woman."

Jack looked down at his body. "If you don't mind, can we stop talking about my grandmother for a moment?"

Kat giggled wickedly and crooked her finger at him. He was on her soon enough, their lips connecting in passion as his body surrounded hers. When their eyes locked on each other, Jack could feel the intensity of her love for him. It seemed to be written into her very soul, so evident once those sky-blue eyes searched his own.

They couldn't be rid of her clothing soon enough. In no time at all, her tank top and shirt soon joined his own on the floor, their warm bodies sliding together with no fabric in-between. He didn't take long to lavish her breasts with attention, and her fingers soon slid through his hair as he kissed around each nipple, taking them in his mouth and teasing them until erect.

"Oh, yes, Jack. Oh, that feels so good," she cooed, as he sucked on her nipple. Kat was already panting hard as he showered her body with attention, but he had no intention of stopping at her tits. Instead, he worked his way down lower still, trailing a line of kisses that went from her ribs down to her navel. She sucked in her breath once he reached her waist, her nerves flaring at the implications of his touch.

"It's okay," he said gently as he looked up at her. She watched him with trusting eyes, and softly nodded.

"Just be gentle with me?" she asked softly.

"Always." Jack placed several kisses over her mound before moving lower, and she spread her legs to offer him easier access. He feasted on the look of her womanhood in its full glory. It wasn't hard to tell that Kat was seriously aroused, and her lips were slick and slightly parted, evidence that she was looking forward to what was to come. She hissed as he pressed the softest of kisses against her parted flesh, the hiss soon morphing into a moan.

"That feels so nice, Jack," she moaned as she thrust her hips against him. She arched her back a moment later as her erect nipples pointed toward the ceiling. "Mmm, yeah, just like that."

He followed her moans, taking longer in spots that she thoroughly enjoyed while skipping over those parts that she remained silent on. While it would take some time for him to get to know her body, he wanted today to be all about her. He wanted to find those areas that turned her on more than anything else.

He soon figured out that she adored any kind of attention on her clit, and Jack chose to focus all his efforts on that spot. Kat warmed up in a hurry, and she was soon grinding her mound against his face as he sucked her clit into his mouth.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck, Jack. Oh, yes, right there! Mmm, oh that's nice, yes, Jack!" Her chorus of moans got louder with the attention, and she soon writhed out of control on the bed. Jack struggled to keep the full attention on her clit, but soon joined that attention with his fingers as they first teased at her wet opening and then slid inside gently.

Kat was absolutely drenched. Dripping might have been a better word. The moment that he slid his digit inside, she began to buckle.

"My gods, my gods," she moaned, looking down at Jack with a shocked expression. "What are you doing to me, Jack, fuck!"

He smiled against her clit. "Making you feel good, my love. Do you like it?"

"I love it," she panted. "It feels so much better than when I do it myself."

"That's the idea," he said with a chuckle. "Just relax and enjoy the feeling, okay? Let me make you feel good."

She relaxed her tense body against the bed as he once more resumed the attack on her clit. He sucked the little nub into his mouth and teased it with his lips and tongue until she squirmed delightfully under him. Her body was quickly approaching the edge, and with careful effort, he was able to take her there with renewed concentration.

"Oh, Jack, I'm going to . . . going to . . . I'm going to cum!"

She arched her back and her mouth fell open in blissful agony as her orgasm finally hit. Jack backed off the full force of his mouth, sustaining the effort without bringing too much attention to her sensitive body in her time of physical elation. Kat squirmed under him as her face and chest flushed a deep red color. All too soon, it was over, and she collapsed against the bed, fanning herself to cool down.

"I don't know how you did that, but that was heavenly," she purred, caressing his face with her hands.

Jack chuckled and kissed her mound. "I was hoping you'd like that. I love the way you taste, Kat. If you wanted me to do that every day, I would do so willingly and with a smile on my face."

"I hope you're not joking," she teased. "Because I might just take you up on that offer."

Jack chuckled. "Try me!"

Her hand reached down and she fully gripped his erection. "I fully intend to, Jack."

Kat wasted no time in sliding out from under him, her post-orgasm malaise already forgotten. Her deft hand began to tease his shaft, giving him firm, deliberate strokes as she switched places with him in bed, hovering over his lower half as she worked his cock.

"I can't believe this whole thing is going to fit inside me," she said, eyeing him with a mixture of awe and apprehension.

"We'll make it fit," he panted. "I'll be as gentle as I can with you."

Kat smiled and nodded. "I know you will. It's been perfect so far, and I don't see how that could possibly change."

"It will hurt at first for you," he warned.

"I know," she said as her tongue slipped out to tease the head. "But I trust you. I really do."

Jack only responded with a groan as she took the entire tip in her mouth at once. She'd come a long way since the first time she sucked his cock back in Andalucia, and she was developing quite the skill for teasing his manhood orally. When she wasn't sucking the tip back into her throat, she would lick all around the shaft while keeping her eyes locked on him. It was one of the sexiest sights he'd ever seen, and watching the blonde woman work his cock became a near religious experience for him.

As Kat took him deeper in her mouth, her free hand went to his balls, massaging them in tandem with her sucking. She gently rubbed them while her other hand worked the bottom of his shaft, the only portion she couldn't reach with her mouth. It was having the desired effect, and Jack was soon thrusting into her mouth as she struggled to take as much of him as she could.

Kat pulled him completely out of her mouth and soon tickled the tip with her tongue. "Want to know what I'm thinking about?"

He looked down at her. "What's that?"

Kat smiled wickedly and tapped the tip against her tongue. "How much cum you have in here. And how I want all of it inside me."

"You'll get your wish if you keep sucking like that," he replied.

Kat shook her head. "Not inside my stomach, Jack. I want it down here." She reached her hand between her legs, coating her fingers with her slick wetness. She brought some of it to his cock and rubbed it in, mixing with her saliva. "I want it inside my pussy. I want you to cum so deeply inside me and make me yours forever. Can you do that for me?" She took another long suck of his cock, making sweet noises as the tip approached her throat before pulling out. "Can you cum so deeply inside my pussy, Jack?"

He was turned on to no end. He would pop soon if she didn't stop this high level of teasing, and they hadn't even started the main event yet. "Kat, I need you," he panted. "I can't take much more of this. I need you to be inside you."

She smiled demurely. "Then take me. I'm yours."

She pressed closer to him and kissed his lips sensually. Jack poured every ounce of affection he had for her into that kiss. He could still feel himself throbbing against her stomach, wanting so desperately to take her that it consumed every thought he had.

"How do you want me?" she whispered against his lips.

"On your back," he ordered.

She grinned. "I was hoping you'd say that."

Kat took her position on her back once more, her legs spreading invitingly for him as soon as she was settled. Jack took a cautious approach as he felt the tip of his cock press against her sex. Kat noticed it too, holding her breath when she felt it.
