“Then it will be, and you don’t have to be embarrassed about any of it. We’re all adults, even your brothers. It’s normal for us all to joke around, so you might have to get used to them giving me some ribbing, but they don’t mean anything by it, and they’d never want to upset or hurt you. You know that, right?”

“I do. It’s just weird, I guess. I never really had family before, not properly, and I never had a real relationship. It will take some getting used to,” I tried to explain.

“Don’t worry. We can totally get our own back when the two of them get girlfriends,” Jordan assured me, making me smile.

“I like the sound of that.”

“So, what do you want to do now? Another movie? I wouldn’t say no to more cuddling like last night,” he asked.

“I was thinking more like we were cuddling this morning,” I suggested, somewhat boldly for me.

“You were, huh?” The grin that spread across his face as he slowly stalked closer to me had my heart pounding and heat flooding to my core.

“Well, we do have the place to ourselves, right? It would be such a shame to waste the opportunity,” I teased while I moved towards him too. As soon as I was close enough I reached up and looped my arms around the back of his neck, pressing as much of my body against his as I could. He was solid against me, and so warm. It only heightened the need buzzing through me.

“It would be a shame,” he agreed as he wrapped his arms around my waist and leaned in to kiss me, I parted my lips at his insistence, and a squeak of need escaped me as his mouth crashed with mine. I lowered my hands to his shoulders and clung on tightly as I reached up to maintain the contact between us. Jordan must have felt my struggle, because his hands moved to my hips and he lifted me high enough that I could wrap my legs around his waist, neither of us breaking the kiss as we moved. I pushed my hands into his hair and gripped the short strands as he moved his lips down my jaw. Without thought I pushed back my head and his kisses travelled down my neck, sending little thrilling tingles all through my body.

“So fucking beautiful,” he hissed as he lifted his head and studied my face momentarily. A loud moan slipped from me again when he continued his trail of kisses on my neck.

“Jordan,” I gasped, my entire body now alight with desperation for more.

“You sure, Addy?” he asked as he pulled away and met my eyes again. I straightened up so my eyes were locked on his and nodded.

“So sure,” I told him. “I love you Jordan. I want this with you, and so much more.”

“There’s nothing I wouldn’t give to you, princess,” he whispered close to my ear, then he was kissing me again, and I gave back everything I could as I clung to him.

CHAPTER 18

ADDY

He pulled back and set me down so I sat on the end of the counter. Both of us were panting and I felt as though I couldn’t be still. I needed more and that need was pushing me to make sure he didn’t stop.

“Can I?” Jordan asked as he fingered the hem of my sweater and glanced up to me.

“Here?” I looked around nervously.

“It’s just us. No one’s coming in here anytime soon,” he promised me.

“Eli…” I started to argue.

“Just trust me, okay?” he cut in.

“I do,” I replied breathlessly. I lifted my arms and instantly Jordan ripped off the sweater I wore, and the t-shirt beneath until I sat in only my jeans and bra before him. I tried not to let my insecurities flood me, but it was the first time I had been so exposed in such bright light. I knew he’d be able to see every scar on my body.

I wrapped my hand around the back of his head as he leaned in and kissed along the top of my breasts. Before I knew it I was whimpering with delight and need, all of my insecurities andworries forgotten. As if he didn’t have the patience to try and remove my bra Jordan ripped down the cups and then his mouth was on my nipples, one then the other. A tremble ran through me as I held onto his head, wanting more of what he was doing, while also desperate for something else.

“Okay, Addy?” he whispered as he eased off my nipples and gently kissed the top of my breasts. His hands slid around my back, and then my bra was gone.

“More,” I uttered breathlessly. “Please Jord. More.”

“I got you, babe. We’re gonna go slow, okay, but if you need me to stop, or slow down more, all you have to do is tell me,” he explained as he checked in with me, meeting my eyes and studying my face.

“I know that too,” I assured him. I smiled to try and reassure him, and it was a genuine smile. I wasn’t scared, or even worried. I wanted whatever Jordan was willing to give me. I trusted him completely and that overrode any darkness that could have snuck into my thoughts to ruin the perfect moment.

“I don’t think you realize what you do to me, when you put your trust in me like that,” Jordan growled, then his lips crashed down over mine again and we kissed passionately. It was a crashing of teeth and tongues, both of us wild and desperate.

“Lie back for me. I’ve been waiting forever to find out how you taste,” Jordan told me as he stepped back just slightly and ripped off his own sweater and t shirt in one wildly fast movement.
