Taking Care of Everything Ch. 10

Her arms tightened around me as she quivered as she came. Her lips now kissing my chest turned to her teeth nipping and biting as I felt her walls close tight. I felt that familiar rush and surge in my core as I unloaded my orgasm deep into her womb.

As we slowed our movements, I released her, my left hand reaching for and grasping at the grab bar. Her arms wrapped around me tighter.

"I have you sir, lean on me. I have you."

I backed against the wall exhausted, my right leg shaking, tiring and sore. "Please, let's sit. I am sorry Jordan; it's not urgent but let's sit."

Jordan pulled open the shower door and called out to Katy. "Baby!! I need you! Please we need you!" She kissed my cheek. "I am so sorry for being so selfish Ken."

She screamed louder this time. "Katy!" Jordan never loosened her grip as I rested, leaning against her and the wall.

"It's okay Jordan. I am sorry."

My right leg ached. I was feeling weak. Internally I chastised myself for doing something so stupid. I heard footsteps rushing up the stairs and felt a second set of hands and arms wrap themselves around me assisting me to the bed, still wet from our shower.

"I am okay, I just need to sit. I am such a fool. I am so sorry!"

There was a moment of silence as four eyes looked down once I was seated on the bed. Jordan turned and walked a few steps into the bathroom. She came back with a towel wrapped around her chest, barely covering her bum. She handed me a towel and I started to dry myself.

I spoke first. "Well I guess I will need to talk with the design team and make sure we have suitable and sufficient grab bars in the shower at the new house."

Katy and Jordan both looked at me inquisitively. Almost in unison they both replied, "What new house?"

I let the towel fall to my lap, and then patted my hands on each side of the bed. As they both sat I explained.

"I have decided that I need some closure also. Katy I didn't want you to look at my phone this morning because of the text I received from a realtor John connected me with."

I paused looking at both of them, then continued. "I am calling her today and letting her know that I will list the house and start a search for a new one."

I wrapped my arms around them. "I wanted this surprise for later but I might as well tell you both now. I won't take no for an answer, I want you both to help me pick our home. A forever home for us."

The three of us fell back laying down on the bed kissing each other and holding each other in one big hug. We lay there together in that moment sealed together as one. Well except for the surprise I had coming in a few days.

It was Thursday of our second week cruising. We had just come back onto the ship from the beach when Katy saw the blinking light of the room phone. I was quick to grab it telling Katy I would check the message if they wanted to go shower and get ready for our dinner tonight. We were dining at Giovani's, the specialty Italian restaurant. Little did they know I had something special planned for this evening.

As the phone message indicated I called Stefan. "Hello Mr. Ken. I have received a message that your purchases are ready."

I stepped out onto the balcony and continued my conversation with Stefan. Once finished, I went inside and walked the steps. Katy stood looking in the small wardrobe at her dresses. I kissed her neck gently.

"Red please, both of you. The red dresses tonight. I will wear my black suit and red tie." I kissed her neck. After dinner we shall go dancing for a bit and then enjoy a cocktail at the Trellis Bar."

Katy turned and hugged me. Our lips met in a wonderful kiss. It was broken only by the sound of the bathroom door opening as Jordan finished her shower stepping out with a towel covering her breasts.

"Where is mine?" She inquired.

Katy broke our kiss, turned and kissed Jordan while wrapping her arms around her. I laughed out loud then kissed their cheeks making my way into the shower.

Dinner that night was spectacular. It was without one of the most delicious meals of the two weeks. The antipasto, veal, and chicken were all excellent. The wine pairings were superb and the chosen dessert, tiramisu, was indescribably delicious.

After a few dances in the lounge, we made our way to the Trellis bar where we enjoyed a glass of wine seated in a secluded area of Central Park. I stood excusing myself to the restroom stopping at a house phone once out of sight calling Stefan. He confirmed that all was prepared. I hurried back to Jordan and Katy.

As I arrived at the table, I stood extending each of them one of my hands. "Let's go back to the room for some quiet time, the three of us."

They each smiled and took my hands, the three of us walking towards the elevator. As the elevator door opened on our floor, I waited, allowing Katy and Jordan to exit first. I motioned for them to please wait as I opened our suite door. I then stepped back allowing them to walk inside.

The suite was filled with the soft light of battery operated candles. There were three dozen roses in six small vases spread throughout the cabin's first floor. On the table in the center of the main seating area lay red rose petals forming a large shaped heart with two small boxes inside the heart. The box on the left had a K on the lid. The box on the right, marked with a J on the lid

As the cabin door closed, tears of joy flowed as first Katy then Jordan wrapped their arms around me crying joyfully.

"Please let me, as best as I can."

They released their grasp. I took their hands in mine and led them to the center of the room, the table close to my side.

"Katy, you are the love of my life, the woman who saved me and keeps me safe, rarely thinking of yourself." I reached for her box.

I dropped to my right knee. As I opened the box, a small light illuminated the Princess cut diamond engagement ring.

"It is my turn to take care of you. Will you please take me as your husband and Jordan as your wife for the rest of our lives?"

Emotions overflowed as he fell to her knees kissing me. "Yes Ken, yes I will."

I stood helping Katy to also stand and placed the ring on her left ring finger. Katy spun and kissed Jordan. I then took Jordan's hands in mine and asked Katy to place her hands on top of mine.

"Jordan, we have spent many years together. This whole time you have protected me. You have saved me, you have cared for me more than so many will ever know and understand. I loved you then and have grown to love you now and in the future more than words can describe."

I reached for her box and knelt down, opening it, a similar small light lit the Pearl cut diamond engagement ring. "Jordan with all the love I have in my heart and soul, I ask you to marry me and Katy becoming ours for the rest of our lives."

She dropped to her knees kissing me, "Yes sir, oh yes sir. I do!"

We each stood. I took the ring sliding it onto Jordan's left ring finger then kissed her softly. As we broke that kiss, I wrapped my arms around them in a three person hug softly swaying in a circle, each whispering our love now and for all eternity to each other.

"Ladies, there is one more thing."

I released them from the hug and walked towards the balcony opening the door to show them the iced bucket of champagne. I then lifted the lid from the tray showing them the artfully decorated patter of fruit dipped in white and dark chocolate.

I popped the cork from the champagne pouring each of us a bit into a glass toasting them.

"To each of us, as we take care of the other and everything."

Epilogue

Caroline, Jason and Annalise, an external candidate, were interviewed by John and me. The internal candidate would be brought on later. After the announcement of Caroline's promotion, Jason tendered his resignation walking out immediately. Jason felt his skills were, in his words, "are far superior to Caroline's and could be better utilized at another organization". We immediately offered that position to Annalise. She started three weeks later.

Caroline and I completed five interviews for the new Network and Cyber Security internship program. Caroline and I finished a conversation with the HR Representative and walked back to my office. I couldn't help but smile as things were coming to fruition and the next chapter of my life had started.

"Caroline" I said, "Let's continue to build a team which no company could ever rival."

Caroline smiled as she thanked me for my time and guidance. She closed my office door and headed back to her office. I was thrilled that Caroline knew she was on the correct path moving forward.

Several months later, on a chilly February morning, Katy and I were sitting out in the sunroom of our new home, watching the sun rise from the horizon. Jordan came into the room with a white box in her hands. It was tied closed with pink ribbon and on top there was an infantry blue bow.

Jordan walked over to me, setting the box on my lap. Katy reached over and took the coffee cup from my hands.

"This is from the both of us. It is just a little something but more will come later."

She took her normal seat, sitting on my right side; her side. I looked at her then to Katy in wonderment. Katy was holding back on something. She had yet to share until this moment. Katy winked at Jordan and nodded. They both leaned over and kissed my cheeks.

"From the two of us but Jordan has that perfect touch to put this gift together." Katy whispered.

Carefully I untied the ribbon, lifted the lid and was awestruck to find not one set but two sets of little white booties. There were two small shirts folded which read "I have the best Dad!" There were two early alert test sticks both with the word "Pregnant" on the tiny screen display.

Tears of joy flowed from my eyes knowing what this meant. Jordan and Katy stood, bent down and wrapped their arms around me and joined me in a joyous and loving hug.

***

One week later and after a smooth six hour long wintry drive with a few potty stops, Ken parked the car in the driveway of a beautiful home in the small town of Shaker Heights. I opened the car door moving as quickly as I could, opening the passenger's side doors assisting my wives out of the car. The three of us made our way up the sidewalk, Katy carrying two white boxes similar to the one I opened one week earlier.

The door opened and again the tears flowed as Dave greeted his friend, his daughter and daughter-in-law inviting everyone inside out of the cold. Once we were safely inside, Shelly hugged her daughter and then her daughter-in-law, and then me. As the five stepped inside to the living room Katy asked her parents to have a seat. It was then that Katy handed each of her parents a small white box.

"It's from us, from the three of three of us."

"We didn't expect a gift, your visit is all we need." Shelly said, smiling wide as she lifted the lid.

The silence in the room was shattered as the squeals of joy filled not only the room but the entire home as Shelly lifted not one but two white onesie each saying, "I love Grandma!"

Dave stood almost jumping for joy. I stood with him and hugged my dear friend.

"Congratulations Ken. You are finally going to be a Dad!"

I smiled, "And you, my friend, are going to be a Grandfather."

***

It was a magical Christmas that year. Sitting in their new house just north of Baltimore in Towson, Ken, Katy, Jordan, Dave and Shelly were filled with joy as they celebrated Anna's and Riley's first Christmas.
