Since they’d started dating, they’d had some pretty heavy make-out sessions and even fooled around a little, but they had yet to go all the way. Something about this time was different. Maybe it was the build up leading to this or maybe it was their growing feelings for each other. Either way, they could both tell their relationship was about to take the next step.
Jordan slid her hands under Jake’s t-shirt and started to pull it up his back. When she reached his head they finally broke their kiss so they could remove the shirt. Once that was taken care of they went back to kissing.
Jake pulled her head back with a gentle tug on her hair to expose her neck for better access. He trailed his lips across her cheek and jaw down to her neck. He bit the soft spot where her neck and shoulder met.
Jordan let out a moan when he bit down on her neck, her back arching up in response.
Tingles shot down her body as he ran his hand down her arm to the hem of her cami. Hyper aware of the sensations wracking her body, the soft cotton material felt like it was abrading her skin as he lifted it over her head.
Once settled again, Jake took a moment to take her all in. Her face was flushed and her lips swollen from his kisses. He ran a hand between her breasts, tracing the cups of her bra while her chest rose and fell quickly with her increased breathing.
Leaning on one elbow he slowly began to draw the straps of her bra down her arms. When they reached her elbow, he reached underneath her body to unhook the clasp at the back. After the straps cleared her arms he dropped the garment on the floor.
“God you’re beautiful,” he said reverently.
Jordan blushed at Jake’s exclamation. But what took her breath away was the look of love shining deep in his eyes.
She had no words to express the emotions coursing through her at that moment. So she threw her arms around his neck and kissed him for all she was worth.
Hooking a leg over his hip she ground herself against him. Her hands ran down his back, tracing the muscles as she went. When they reached the waistband of the sweats he was wearing, her fingers dipped inside to squeeze his butt.
Jake growled at her advances. “Baby, if you’re not careful, things aren’t going to stop.”
She smiled up at him and leaned into his ear to whisper, “I don’t want it to stop.” She punctuated the statement by biting down on his earlobe and pulling it into her mouth.
She felt him shudder at her words and actions. Encouraged by his response, she slipped her hands further down his sweatpants, starting to tug them down. Once they were taken care of, she let her hands have free rein over his body.
And what a body it was.
All hard muscles and sexy ridges.
He was big without being overly bulky. She ran her tongue from his ear to his collarbone, which she grazed lightly with her teeth. Her hands continued to roam and when she got to his erection she wanted to swoon.
Hard steel wrapped in warm velvet. They had been taking things slow but at this moment slow was the furthest thing from her mind.
Jordan was already more than half way in love with him. Nothing was holding her back.
“Fuck, babe, if you don’t stop that I’m going to end up taking you right here on this couch.”
“Oh god yes!” She moaned in response.
With a strangled curse he divested her body of her pants and panties in one swoop. Once he was settled back in place he lovingly caressed her face and tilted it up for another passionate kiss.
When he pulled back, he stared deep into her eyes. “I wanted to make this special for you but you are making it really hard.”
Jordan could see the torment in his eyes and knew he meant every word he said.
“Jake being with you is what makes it special, not the location.” She kissed him softly on the lips. “Please make love to me now.”
Jake ran his hand down her body to the juncture between her legs to test her readiness. When he discovered her wetness he eased her leg higher up his hip. He took her mouth in a devastating kiss, mimicking what they would soon be doing with their bodies. Slowly he eased his way inside her.
Jordan gasped as Jake entered her. The feeling of fullness was unlike anything she had ever felt before. After he was fully seated inside her, they started moving together in perfect sync.
Jake grabbed her butt and tilted her body up to meet his thrust. Jordan ran her nails down his back. He knew he would wear her marks and loved the thought.
They were both covered in a sheen of sweat as things started building between them. Their breaths became more labored and their movements more urgent. Jordan came and Jake tumbled over with her.
They laid there kissing while waiting for their heart rates to return to normal. Jake pushed some hair out of Jordan’s face while he looked deep into her eyes. Never had anything felt so right as it did being with her at this moment. He kissed her deeply, with all the emotion he was feeling.
They laid on the couch for a little while longer. Eventually they made their way upstairs to her bedroom to sleep for the night. They slept tangled up together, waking to make love one more time during the night.
Chapter Thirty-Five
A few days later Jordan and Skye headed to Maddey’s. The four roommates were going out with other friends from college. It was a rare occurrence, as Ryan and Jase already had separate plans, so she took a chance on inviting Jake out with them. So far she hadn’t heard from him but she was hopeful.
They made their way into Maddey’s room. After a round of hugs and kisses they plopped down on the bed to relax. The girls chatted about nothing in particular, laughing and having a good time.
Maddey noticed Jordan looked a little different. Something about her just seemed to glow. “Okay spill.”
Jordan looked up startled. “Spill what?”
Skye looked at her best friend closely, her eyes squinting in concentration. “OH MY GOD!”
“What?” Jordan jumped at Skye’s outburst.
“You and Jake totally did it.”
“Oh my god that is so it. You got laid,” Maddey exclaimed.
Jordan went scarlet red. She planned on telling her best friends about what happened with Jake but knowing they could read her so well was a little embarrassing. She really had to work on her poker face.
She pushed her face into Maddey’s comforter. “Yes I did.”
“OH MY GOD!” Skye and Maddey shouted in unison.
“Details.”
“Now.”
They both demanded.
She had to laugh. She knew her besties wouldn’t make this easy on her. She went on in detail about her night with Jake. Her friends were swooning at the tale.
“I love him,” she admitted.
“Have you told him that?” Maddey asked.
“No, I’m too afraid. There’s too much at stake right now. Our whole relationship is a secret, what if my telling him I’m in love with him finally pushes him over the edge.”
“That doesn’t make any sense. He was the one that pushed for the relationship. He even suggested dating in secret. I seriously think you are overthinking things,” Maddey said.
“He’s different with you. I got to see what he was like before he met you. It’s easy to see how much you mean to him,” Skye added.
“Thanks that means a lot to me.” Jordan squeezed Skye’s hand in return.
She rolled over onto her back, frustrated. “I just wish I could be with him in public and not have to worry about keeping our relationship a secret.”
“Well at least tonight you don’t have to keep quiet. He is coming right?” Maddey asked.
“I hope so. When you told me this morning that Ryan wasn’t coming, I went over to ask him but he wasn’t home. I didn’t want to risk texting him, so I wrote a note and asked Carlee to give it to him. I hope he comes.”
The girls continued to talk and joke around for a while. They turned up some music and decided to get the party started while they got ready for the night.
> “What’s everyone wearing?” She asked her friends.
Skye unzipped her bag and pulled out a Kelly Green bandage dress.
“Ooo that’s going to look so good with your red hair.” Maddey nodded her approval. “Shoes?”
The girls all swooned when she showed them a killer pair of strappy sandals. “What about you Madz?” Skye asked.
“I was thinking this hot pink, scoop necked halter top, with a black lace, ruffled mini skirt, and these,” she bent in her closet before standing, “hot pink FMPs.”
“Yup, totally going to have to borrow those someday,” Jordan informed her friend.
“So jealous you guys can share shoes,” Skye complained.
“The one perk of us being vertically challenged,” Maddey said. “What about you, Jor?”
“Lets see.” She bent to her duffle on the floor. “I have this black corset top, makes the ladies look real good, white short shorts, and these killer black lace up booties.”
“Oh yeah we are definitely swapping shoes soon.” Maddey looked at Jordan’s shoes like she would look at chocolate cake.
Jake returned home from his lunch with Tucker. They went out to have burgers and watch the afternoon Yankees game. It was nice to hang out with his bud. As he started walking up the stairs, Carlee ran from the kitchen calling his name.
“Jakey! Jakey!” She bounded up to him.
“What is it, cupcake?” He walked back down toward his sister.
She was holding a piece of paper in her sticky little hand. “Jordan note.” She lowered her voice. “Secret message,” she said on a giggle.
Carlee and Sean were really into their secret spy roles in keeping his relationship with Jordan clandestine. He ruffled her hair as he took the note from her.
Hey babe! We’re going out with a bunch of
friends from college tonight.
Ryan was supposed to come but he can’t.
I would love it if you would come.
There’s a car service that will
pick you up at 9 if you want to come.
Hopefully I see you later
<3
Jake smiled down at Jordan’s girly handwriting. He thought it was cute she was nervous about him wanting to come out with them at the last minute.
If only she knew how quickly he would jump at the chance to spend time with her. Especially when he didn’t have to keep his feelings to himself. He looked down at his phone to check the time. He still had a few hours to kill before the car service arrived.
He sent a text to Tucker.
THE BRICK WALL (Jake): Hey man any plans tonight?
WANNA TUCK (Tucker): Nothing special. Was thinking of hitting up Rookies wanna join? I could use a wingman
THE BRICK WALL: Better idea… let’s go to the city
WANNA TUCK: The city?
THE BRICK WALL: Yeah Jordan and her friends are going to some club.
WANNA TUCK: Sweet, fresh meat
THE BRICK WALL: Perv
WANNA TUCK: *middle finger emoji* I’m in. What time?
THE BRICK WALL: Car service will be here at 9
WANNA TUCK: Car service?
THE BRICK WALL: Yup no need to DD tonight
WANNA TUCK: I knew I liked Blondie.
THE BRICK WALL: Hands off
WANNA TUCK: Yeah I know. Be over soon
Jake headed upstairs to shower, his night just got a whole lot better.
Chapter Thirty-Six
Jake and Tucker made their way into the nightclub looking for the girls. The bouncer at the door told them the VIP section was upstairs on the left. They found the staircase without a problem. Looking up he tried to take the entire scene in.
What he found standing at the top took his breath away. Jordan leaned over the railing dangling a beer bottle between her fingers. He took the opportunity to study her without her knowledge.
“Man my girlfriend is hot.”
“Yeah she is,” Tucker agreed. Jake wasn’t aware he spoke his thoughts out loud.
Jordan looked down and saw them standing there. She motioned for them to come up. They showed their wristbands to the bouncer at the bottom of the stairs and made their way up.
She met them at the top of the stairs. He couldn’t resist picking her up and planting a deep kiss on her lips. Eventually he put her down and released her lips.
“Wow,” she said as she removed her arms from around his neck.
“Wow is right.” Her hair was curled down her back instead of the usual straight style and her lips were a glossy red.
Damn, she was fine.
He loved the heated look in her eyes as she took in his appearance. He was happy to note he seemed to do it for her as much as she did it for him.
Since they didn’t have to worry about keeping their relationship secret here, he reached out and pulled her into another kiss. Like most of their kisses that weren’t during stolen moments, this one started out on a simmer and quickly reached boiling.
They finally broke apart when they heard their friends catcalling behind them.
“Damn, Blondie, it’s a good thing Ry and Jase aren’t here. I think they would have a heart attack at your outfit,” Tucker said as he gave her a kiss on the cheek.
“Do we have a problem BB3?”
“Not at all. I like what I’m seeing.”
“Dude, seriously. Stop hitting on my girlfriend.” Jake punched Tuck in the arm.
“What, afraid she’ll finally come to her senses and leave you for me?”
“Please.”
“Children.” Jordan rolled her eyes beside them.
As they broke apart she trailed a hand down his arm, copped a feel along the way, obviously liking what she had. She grabbed his hand and led him over to where their friends were sitting. Both him and Tucker hugged Maddey and Skye hello and did a slap handshake with Sammy as he was handed a beer.
“Man, I thought you were going to set off the sprinklers with that kiss. If you go long enough without seeing me, will you greet me like that Jake?” Sammy joked with him.
Sammy had a twisted sense of humor sometimes. “I don’t know, Jordan seems to have a possessive personality. I don’t see her letting that fly.”
The group all laughed.
He grabbed a beer from the bucket on the table and sat down next to Sammy. Jordan went to sit on his other side but he reached out and pulled her to sit in his lap.
“What are you doing?” She asked on a laugh.
He nuzzled her behind her ear. “Hey, I don’t get to do this when we usually hang out. I’m going to enjoy every opportunity tonight.” He finished his statement with a nip to her earlobe causing her to shudder in his arms.
She let loose a blinding smile and settled deeper into his arms.
“Not that I’m not enjoying being able to act normal with my girlfriend, but where’s Ryan tonight?” He asked Maddey.
“He had plans with the other seniors on the team. So it worked out perfect for this little covert operation that is your relationship with my best friend.
“When I told him we were going out he was going to reschedule with the guys but I told him it was cool, that I was going out with the girls and everything would be fine.” She took a swig of her beer.
“It doesn’t bother you that I’m here turning it into a lie?”
“I didn’t lie.” She paused and looked over at Jordan to share a secret smile. “I came here with the girls, well and Sammy, but he’s considered one of the girls. I can’t help it if you showed up after us. Of course we would let you hang out with us. We are friends after all,” she said with a wink.
“Well I’m really glad you decided to use your evil powers to help me.” He reached out to clink his beer bottle against hers.
“So how did you guys manage to get the VIP section here?” Jake asked.
“Sammy is dating one of the promoters,” Maddey answered.
“Yeah and he’s super hot too,” Skye added with a smile.
�
��Hotter than me?” Tucker asked.
“Please Tuck, we’ve been over for a while. Don’t even try it,” Skye said, nonchalant.
Jake looked over to Sammy to see him smiling like the cat that ate the canary. “What can I say, I know how to pick em.”
The gang hung out for a while in the VIP section reminiscing about some of their crazy days at NYU. Some of the antics the girls got into would send Ryan and Jase into an early grave if they ever heard them.
Everyone made their way down to the main level to dance. Even with hundreds of people around Jake and Jordan were in their own little world.
JORDAN LOVED THAT she was finally able to dance with Jake how she wished she could when they were at Rookies. And boy could he move. He made it easy to follow her hips against his.
She watched him and liked everything she saw, from his black leather shoes, to his muscular legs encased in dark faded denim, topped by a dark gray t-shirt. He smiled deep showing off his gorgeous dimples as she finished taking in his messy styled hair.
It was everything she ever dreamed of being able to do, what she wanted to do at Rookies but wasn’t allowed. The group laughed while they danced and sang along to the 90’s hits the DJ was playing. Jake’s eyes were locked on the movement of Jordan’s hips and he pulled her in closer.
Turning around to face him, she wrapped her arms around his neck and couldn’t stop the smile from spreading across her face.
Jake’s arms wrapped around her waist and closed the rest of the gap between their bodies. She loved the feel of his body moving in tandem with hers.
“What are you smiling at?” He asked loudly to be heard over the music.
“Just this,” she answered with a shrug.
His green eyes sparkled in response. “It is great, isn’t it?” Without waiting for a response he pulled her in for a kiss.
“I love the way you move,” he bent down a little to say in her ear, so she could hear him better.
