Part 5
The Hart Remembers – Part Five
In the car, on the way to Willow Pond, Jennifer experienced a sense of déjà vu. Everything looked kind of familiar and the closer they got to their destination the more familiar it became. She felt as though she was on the edge of a breakthrough. The memories were just on the edge of her consciousness waiting to come through.
As they entered Willow Pond Drive the feeling got much stronger and as they approached the huge double white gates with the black ‘H’ on them she went into a kind of trancelike state. She could see scenes of her life running like a movie on a screen before her eyes.
As they stopped to wait for the gates to open Jonathan chanced a glance at his wife but he didn’t speak to her. His gut instinct told him to remain quiet. He could see that she was miles away from him. He hoped that she was beginning to remember.
The gates opened and they sped off up the roadway towards the place where the house used to stand. They rounded the driveway and stopped just across from where the front door used to be. The place where the house had once stood had been cleared long ago.
The only thing left standing was the massive stone fire place in the living room. It looked so forlorn standing there alone. Jonathan always felt a sense of sadness and despair whenever he came here.
The grounds were still in good order as Jonathan had retained the gardener to look after them.
Jennifer slowly exited the car while not taking her eyes of off where the house used to be. She walked over to where the front door would have been.
She turned to face Jonathan and said “The house burned down”
It wasn’t a question, it was a statement. Jonathan was optimistic that this was going to work. He could feel his heart begin to speed up in anticipation. Maybe they would get their life together back after all.
“This was where the front door was. It was white on the outside and brown on the inside”
Jennifer walked into what would have been the house. “There were stairs here” she pointed to the right and then up “and our bedroom was up there.” She walked further in “This was the living room and the kitchen was through there.”
Jonathan kept quiet. She wasn’t looking to him for acknowledgment; she was just stating things as she was starting to remember them. He thought it best to just let her go.
She stood in the living room area for a long time. It was all coming back to her. All of the good times they had in the house, and there were a lot of them. She just soaked it all up like a sponge. It was wonderful to be remembering it all. She remembered Max. Oh thank God. She turned to Jonathan with a smile. “I remember him, Jonathan, I remember Max” Jonathan beamed back at her. Oh, it was great, he felt terrific. It was like all of his Christmases coming at once.
She started moving again out towards the grounds. Jonathan thought he knew where she was heading to. Jennifer moved with complete confidence. She knew where she was going.
Jonathan caught up with her and she turned to him with the biggest smile on her face. “Max’s rose garden. The ‘Jennifer Hart’ rose” she said. “I remember Jonathan, I remember it all”
She ran to him then and threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly. He lifted her off the ground and swung her around and then he kissed her. She kissed him back with all of the love and pent up emotion from months of not being together.
“Oh Jonathan it is so wonderful to be able to remember everything. I remember you, our love and our amazing life together. I remember meeting you in London and falling in love. I remember our wedding. I remember it all” by now she was on such a high she felt giddy.
She cupped his face between her hands and looked deeply into his gorgeous blue eyes. They were sparkling with joy. He smiled brightly as he could see the recognition and the absolute love in her eyes shining back at him. He knew he had her back.
“Make love to me, Jonathan” she pleaded
“Here?” he almost squeaked it out.
“Yes, right here, among Max’s roses. It won’t be the first time” she said with a smirk. And when he seemed to hesitate she looked at him seriously and said “Please!”
To show him how serious she was she leaned in to capture his lips in a soft kiss. Her lips slid across his cheek to his ear and slowly down his neck. Jennifer started to slowly unbutton his shirt and he could feel her lips upon his chest. His body began to respond immediately and he wondered what the hell he was waiting for. Jonathan pulled her back up to him for a mind blowing kiss. Their tongues danced together sensuously and their bodies strained to get closer.
They broke the intense kiss to take a much needed breath.
“I love you so much, Jennifer” Jonathan said seriously as he looked deeply into her eyes.
“Show me” she pleaded
Slowly they sank down onto the grass between the rose bushes. Jonathan held her close and covered her eyes, nose and cheeks with soft kisses, then he found her lips and feasted on them. Jennifer continued to unbutton his shirt. Her fingers moved feather light across his chest and she could feel him shudder beneath her touch.
He left her soft lips and trailed kisses down her neck until she shivered, his touch sending such delicious sensations through her body until she moaned and tried to pull him closer, but he held her back.
“Let me love you” he whispered into her ear. “I have missed you so much. I can’t tell you how much I’ve missed being close to you,” Jennifer noticed the desperate tone in his voice so she loosened her grip on him a little. Jonathan continued to feather soft kisses down her neck as his hands slid under her sweater. He felt the softness of her skin he’d missed so much. His touch left a burning sensation and Jennifer writhed in pleasure.
Jonathan pushed the sweater up and over her head. He paused for a moment to savor her beautiful body. His fingers trailed down her collarbone, followed along with this lips. Jennifer’s sharp intake of breath told him she was enjoying the sensation. He let his lips roam over the tops of her breasts that were peeking out of her bra.
“Beautiful” he breathed. Jennifer moaned in response. Her senses were on overload already and they had hardly done anything. In fact he was moving way too slowly for her liking.
She pulled his shirt free of his trousers and scraped her nails lightly up his back. She rained kisses along his neck and over his chest. She ran her fingers through his crisp chest hair in an attempt to get things moving quicker. Jonathan felt a tremor rush through him at her touch. He wanted to take this slow and savour every moment but he was fast losing control.
He undid her bra and freed breasts into his waiting hands and mouth. He devoured them, feasting first on one and then on the other. Jennifer’s breathing accelerated along with her pulse rate. Oh, how he loved the taste and texture of her skin, it was so uniquely Jennifer and he had missed it and her very much. He could feel his emotions overwhelming him again and felt the tears threatening.
He stopped his loving attentions to her body to take a deep breath. He desperately tried to get his emotions under control but was losing the battle as a lone tear escaped his eye. He tried to wipe it away quickly before Jennifer saw but was too late.
“What’s wrong darling?” she said with concern.
He looked at her then his eyes glistening with tears. “It’s nothing, really, I just….” He couldn’t continue. His breath caught in his throat at the lovely vision of his wife. With her hair all tousled and her half naked body shimmering in the sunlight, she looked like a goddess to him and he smiled at her through his tears. “I just got overwhelmed for a moment. After all these months of uncertainty I was beginning to think that we would never be together like this ever again. I just love you so much, more than words can ever describe.”
“Oh Jonathan” she said as she pulled him into her embrace “I love you too”. She hugged him tight showing him that he wasn’t the only one affected by the emotion of the moment. Jonathan buried his face in her hair and took a deep breath. She smelled so good. Felt so good. He felt himself growing harder.
He kissed her again but this time it wasn’t gentle, it was full of passion and as he slid his tongue into her mouth she thought that she might combust right there. He ran his hands through her soft hair and held her head on an angle to deepen the kiss even more. As his tongue explored the inside of her mouth his hands wandered lightly over her shoulders and down her back reacquainting himself with her contours. The feeling caused her to quiver.
Jonathan worked his hands downward and wasted no more time in removing the rest of her clothes. She could feel the cool grass beneath her. He started kissing down her body paying attention to each breast. Jennifer writhed against him, pressing her lower half into his where she could feel his growing desire for her. She cupped him through his trousers which made him moan and press himself harder into her hand.
Impatient to feel all of her next to his skin he pulled himself away from her for a moment to get up and rip the shirt from his body. He then shed the rest of his clothes in a frantic rush. Back down on his knees, he caressed her bare feet, leaving a tingling behind. By now Jennifer was feeling as though she was mush, she felt boneless and all sensation.
Jonathan placed gentle kisses up her inner thighs. He could smell her arousal, it was all Jennifer and it excited him to the extreme. Never before he felt like this, he was hard, like a rock. He had trouble restraining himself not to come right that moment, but he wanted to share this special moment with his wife.
As he moved closer to the core of her he could feel her trembling. He swiped his tongue along her special spot and she bucked up against him. As he continued to lick and nuzzle the sensitive nub between her legs she gasped his name with raw passion.
He wanted to give her the most intense pleasure and as he continued his ministrations he could tell she was getting close by the way she held his head to her and the moaning noises she was making.
He was preparing to take her over the edge as she grabbed his shoulders and pushed him back. He was confused and looked up into her face to see her looking at him pleadingly.
“Jonathan” she whispered “please, darling, not this time. I want you… I need you inside of me! Right now. I want us to go over together.” She was almost begging him.
Jonathan moved up her body and kissed her as he entered her smoothly. He slid in to the hilt and they lay not moving for a few seconds. They began rocking gently together and then their movements became more frantic. The tension inside him built to almost an almost painful intensity.
His eyes on her face, he watched as her eyes went dark with desire as Jennifer was close to the point of no return. Not stopping in his movements, he placed his thumb on her sensitive spot and carefully moved in circles. “Come for me baby” he whispered in a hoarse voice against her ear. She moaned as she tightened around him and screamed out his name.
Her muscles continued to contract around him and he felt himself losing control. His heart was racing as he pumped in and out a couple more times before he exploded inside her, following over the same edge Jennifer went seconds before, with the most powerful orgasm he could ever remember having. He was vaguely aware of having yelled her name as he went over.
He collapsed onto her sweat slicked body burying his face in her neck breathing in deeply the sweet scent of her. His breath still labored, he slid gently off her and rolled onto his side. Pulling her against him he wrapped his arms tightly around her and lay with his forehead against hers. Jonathan kissed her gently and sighed at the feeling of complete contentment and happiness. They lay entwined together as he rubbed his hand up and down her back.
“You are absolutely wonderful, Jonathan, I love you so much” Jennifer sighed and closed her eyes. She was relaxed and contented for the first time in a long time.
————————————————–
Jonathan stirred and realized that they had fallen asleep right there on the grass in the middle of the afternoon. He and Jennifer were still naked and wrapped in each others arms. He looked down at Jennifer and saw she was still asleep. He once again marvelled at her exquisite beauty. No one else could ever make him feel the way she does.
He figured they had been asleep for quite a while as the sun now hung low in the sky. In fact it was getting chilly so he gently woke Jennifer and they quickly dressed and prepared to head back to the house at the beach.
As they were walking hand in hand up towards the place where the house had once stood Jennifer tugged on Jonathan’s hand to get his attention. He stopped and looked at her.
“Thank you, darling, for a wonderful afternoon. It’s the best one I have spent in a long time” she said with a beautiful smile. He smiled back at her and pulled her to him. He lowered his head to her and captured her lips in a soft and loving kiss.
“Jonathan” she said as they ended the kiss. They were still in each others arms. He looked down at her and said “Yes, my love”
She looked him in the eye and said “I really miss living here….” she paused not really sure how to go on and Jonathan, as if he had read her mind, said “We really should rebuild, don’t you think?”
“Oh, yes, that is exactly what I think. I really want to live here again. Can we do it?”
“Yes, my darling, we can. And we will. I think it is a great idea. I will call the builder tomorrow and we will get started right away”
“Great! Have I told you lately that I love you” she said
“Yes, you have. But I am always open to hearing it again” he said with a smile.
“Well I do love you. Very much” she said as she hugged him again.
———————————————
The next few days passed in a flash as plans were made to rebuild at Willow Pond. Jonathan didn’t want to waste any time now that they had made up their minds to go back. Things were progressing nicely and he was pleased with the way things were going.
He was also pleased that his relationship with Jennifer was back on track. Things had settled down a lot. The time of their being apart because of Jennifer’s coma and memory loss was starting to fade a bit. Things had mostly got back to normal.
He thought back to the afternoon they had spent among Max’s roses and smiled. It had certainly been a wonderful afternoon. And that night he had been overwhelmed once again as Jennifer had made love to him. She had taken him on a sensual journey that had culminated in another mind blowing orgasm. His smile widened. She was quite a woman and she was all his.
—————————————————–
As the following weeks flew by the house at Willow Pond started to take shape. Things in the Hart household slowly got back to normal. Jonathan went back to work at last and Jennifer felt restlessness inside of her. She knew it was time for her to get back to work also.
She rang Marcia to see if she had anything for her. Marcia didn’t at the time but promised to set something up for her in the next few days.
As Jennifer hung up from her call with Marcia the phone rang.
“Hello”
“Hello, may I speak to Jennifer Hart please” a mans voice asked.
“This is Jennifer Hart speaking”
“Oh, hello, Jennifer this is Peter Donner” Peter Donner was the doctor who was in charge of the bone marrow transplant that Jennifer underwent the year before to save the life of the young orphan boy called Maximilian.
“Oh, Peter hello how are you?”
“I am fine Jennifer how are you? I heard that you had been injured. Is everything ok now?”
“Yes, I am quite recovered. How is Simone and little Max?”
“Well, that is what I am ringing you about. I…..” he seemed to catch his breath.
“Are you alright Peter?”
“I really need your help Jennifer and it may be a really big ask, but I am hoping you will say yes” he said with desperation in his voice.
