Jordan gently grasped my chin and tilted my head up so I was looking into his eyes. “Want to tell me why you’re so against living in the same neighborhood as Mia?” he murmured.
“Not really.” I pushed his hand away and started to lay my head back on his shoulder, but he wasn’t going to allow me to avoid this particular conversation.
“Do you still think I have a thing for her?”
“I…don’t know,” I told him honestly.
His dark eyes softened. “The only woman I have ever been in love with is you, Arella. Mia and I have only ever been best friends. Nothing more.”
“The best friend you had sex with,” I reminded him in a voice tight with suppressed emotion.
Jordan released a heavy sigh. “Yeah, and I can honestly say it was probably the most awkward sex of my life.” He brushed his lips over my ear, making me shiver. “I’m going to tell you about this, but then can we please never speak about it again?”
I shrugged, unable to give him a verbal answer when I wasn’t sure I could make that promise.
Groaning, he tightened his arms around me. “Mia was in a dark place at the time. She’d just found out that the future she always had planned out wasn’t going to happen. With her knee so fucked up, she couldn’t dance professionally anymore, and it was breaking her. She came over to my house one night, and when I hugged her in an attempt to comfort, she kissed me. We were young and dumb, and things got out of hand. I’m not going to lie and say I didn’t get off, because I did, but it took some serious effort to get there. Because it…” He muttered a curse, and I saw his face actually turn green. “It felt wrong. Even kissing her was weird. I love her, but I’ve never looked at her and felt anywhere close to what I feel for you, baby. We grew up together, and she feels like family to me. Then afterward, she regretted it just as much as I did, and she couldn’t even look at me for the longest time. I was scared I’d lost my best friend.”
Something uncoiled deep inside me. The release of pressure was so intense, I actually whimpered in relief and threw my arms around his neck as I attacked his mouth with my own.
Ever since I’d found out that Jordan and Mia had slept together, I’d felt like there was this weight sitting on my chest. It hadn’t stopped me from loving my cousin, but it became difficult to look at her and not hurt when I thought about the guy to whom I’d given my heart.
Jordan groaned and cupped the back of my head, taking control of the kiss. Breathing hard, he turned me on his lap so I was straddling him, and I was thankful I’d worn a dress with a loose skirt. I’d never been so thankful for a partition before in my life. I needed him inside me, and I didn’t even think the driver being able to see us would have stopped me right then.
Jordan’s hands pulled the dress up to my waist and quickly pushed my thong out of his way as he stuffed three fingers into my pussy. Biting back a moan, I started working on his belt, needing him inside me. When he broke the kiss to help me, I was panting. “We… We can look at the house.”
“Tomorrow,” he growled, pulling his cock from his pants and thrusting roughly up into me. “I’m spending the rest of this day inside you.”
Dropping my head to his shoulder, I sank my teeth into his neck right b
elow his ear and whispered, “I’m okay with that plan.”
I felt his shudder of pleasure along with a spurt of his come hitting my walls. Knowing I could make him come a little like that gave me a feeling of power, and I bounced faster on his cock.
His fingers bit into my ass, but he didn’t try to slow my rhythm. “You have to know that I have only ever been in love with you,” he rasped as he lowered his head to lick across my collarbone. “No one has ever possessed my heart but you, Arella. Only you, baby. Only ever you.”
“Jordan,” I whined, my inner walls clenching around him as I fought hard not to come. “It’s always been you, too. No one else has come close to touching my heart but you.”
“Thank fuck,” he groaned. “Baby, I love you. Tell me you’ll always be mine. Promise me you’re only ever going to love me.”
“Yes, yes, yes,” I chanted before kissing him.
But he pulled back all too soon. “Say it,” he commanded, his jaw tight as if he were fighting to hold on just as badly as I was.
“I’m yours,” I vowed and felt him thicken even more inside me, telling me he was close to releasing whether he wanted to or not. “I’ll only ever love you.”
He jerked my head down and buried his face in my chest, muffling his shout as he came so hard his entire body trembled. Feeling his thick, hot come flooding my pussy, I couldn’t fight my own orgasm any longer. I rocked against him, prolonging the pleasure for both of us as we tried to catch our breath.
Sweat coated our skin, and I felt him licking my shoulder and neck. “You taste so fucking good,” he rasped at my ear. “I’m taking you home and eating you for dinner.”
Closing my eyes, I melted against him and closed my eyes. “Promises, promises.”
Twenty-Two
Jordan
The sound of my cell ringing pulled me from a deep sleep. Cracking open one eye, I glanced at the digital clock on the bedside table on my side of the bed and bit back a curse when I saw it was just after ten at night.
I sat up and reached for my phone before it could wake Arella. I’d worn her out all evening, only pausing long enough to feed her before we’d both fallen into an exhausted sleep less than an hour before.
