Jordan slowly shakes his head, his eyes boring into mine. “No. I was too busy pining after the love of my life to even try loving someone new.”

I suck in a breath and feel tears pricking the back of my eyes.The love of my life.I’ve imagined him confessing his love for me so many times, but we were always a case of right people, wrong time. I never allowed myself to believe that he’d still feel the same way after all these years.

Jordan brushes a tear from my face and pulls me into a hug. I land on his chest and bury my nose in the hollow of his throat.My favorite place to be.

His fingers massage my scalp with one hand and rub my back with the other, and I relax in his embrace. “You’re the love of my life too,” I whisper.

Jordan squeezes me harder and gently flips us around so he can hover above me. “Do you want to stop? We can take this slow and talk through everything before we jump into anything physical.”

“It’s a little late for that. You made me come twice with your mouth today.” I grin, and he chuckles. “Plus, I want to make you feel good too,” I say, nipping at his bottom lip and running my tongue along the seam. He lets me in, taking control of the kiss and rubbing himself on me.

“Okay,” he mumbles, taking a nipple in his mouth and leaving hot, wet kisses behind. “I have one condition though,” he says, reaching down and guiding his cock to my clit, rubbing back and forth and making my eyes roll to the back of my head.

“Anything,” I say in a lusty haze. I’ll give him anything.Everything.

“Eyes on me, baby,” he says, and I snap them open, looking down where the head of his cock is positioned at my entrance. Jordan slowly spreads my legs open further and brings them up to my chest. I inhale sharply as the tip of him prods my entrance. “Let’s go on a date,” he says, right before he slams into me with a groan.

“Fuck,” I moan, locking my arms around my knees, loving this position. He pulls out almost all the way before he repeats the motion, hitting nice and deep.

“Fuck yes? Or fuck no?” He smirks, cupping my breast with his left hand and finding my clit with the thumb of his right hand. The pressure is almost too much, but Jordan is on a mission to fuck me into this mattress.

“Yes, hotshot. I’ll go on a date with you,” I manage to say between moans as Jordan buries himself to the hilt inside me. I’m almost there but he has other plans, flipping me over in a swift move and covering me with his large body.

“I want to come on your ass,” he growls in my ear, biting my lobe and pulling back, snapping his hips against me again and again, one hand holding me down, pressing at the small of my back. I use the pillow to muffle my screams, but Jordan yanks it away from me. “I want to hear you scream my name, baby.”

“Fuck, J, I’m almost there.”

“Me too,” he says, panting hard and reaching between me and the mattress to rub my clit. I squeeze my eyes tight as my orgasm hits me hard. My toes curl, my legs shake, and my mouth is yelling out his name. Jordan groans and swears, pulling out at the last second.

I watch over the curve of my shoulder as he touches himself in long slow pulls, his hot cum landing on my ass and back. Jordan’s head is thrown back and he’s panting hard. When his eyes open, they land on the mess he made on me and he blushes. I grin at him and bite the corner of my lip. “So who’s planning the date?”

CHAPTER 31

December

Jordan

“So let me get this straight,”Robbie says, frowning down at the applesauce that Valerie just flung on his shirt and all over the floor. “You want to date my sister?”

I pick up the crying baby out of her high chair and bounce her in my arms a few times until she calms down. Robbie turns the faucet on and runs hot water over a rag, cleaning up the mess on the floor and his shirt. I clear my throat, trying to remain calm, even though I’m freaking out about what Robbie thinks of me dating Alice. Eventually, I say, “Yeah. I want to date Alice. I figured you should know.”

“I’m confused,” he says, throwing the rag in a small basket by the hallway. “I thought you two were already dating.” Robbie faces me fully now, hands resting on his hips. His look is incredulous, and I’m stunned by his words. I stop bouncing Val and she stops giggling. I stare at my best friend and notice there’s still some applesauce on his face.

Shaking my head I say, “No. I mean, there was something between us at some point, but let’s just say it was never the right time.”

I hand over puffy-cheeked Valerie and she immediately rests her head on her dad’s chest. Robbie sighs and kisses her forehead. I can tell he’s tired and maybe a little overwhelmed at times, but ever since he started asking for help babysitting, he’s been looking a little better. “So why are you telling me now? Are you asking for my blessing?” he asks, lips twitching in a genuine smile.

Shaking my head, I reach out and swipe the applesauce off his forehead. He laughs and mumbles a thank you. “I just wanted you to know. I’m here to stay and I’ll make up for all the lost time and heartbreak I caused her.”

Robbie’s gaze narrows on me in assessment. I hold it, letting him see the sincerity in my statement. “You better. She was really devastated when you left. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her like that before. Not that she told me any of this,” he says, walking Val over to her playmat in the living room and taking a seat on the couch.

“How did you know, then? That there was something going on?”

“I’m not blind, man. I saw the way you two acted around each other. We all did. It was just a matter of time until you two finally figured it out. I just want to make sure that you won’t break her heart again,” he says.

“I promise I won’t. She’s always been the one for me and even when I was gone, I was never out of love with her. I was just too afraid to take a chance, and I worried too much about what our families would think.”

Robbie gives me a confused look and I laugh. “Yeah, I see how stupid that was now. This time, I’m here to stay and I won’t let anything come between myself and Alice again.” The vow Imake is not only for Robbie, but for myself too. I’ll do anything to be in her life.
