Then & Now (5 page)

Needing to see his god-like face she lifted her head.  She almost groaned at his apprehensive expression.  He was thinking again.  With one arm under his head and the other softly caressing her shoulder, his eyes were locked on some random spot on the ceiling.  She couldn’t let him stew to long.

Sitting up, she allowed the blanket to fall leaving her breast bare for his view.  “Can you help me take out all these pins from my hair?  They’re driving me nuts.”  She laughed, reaching up and removing one.

“I think maybe you should leave them in.  I mean we have to get back to the party.”  His tone was gruff as if he didn’t like that idea anymore then she did.

Inclining
an eyebrow she faced him fully.  “Now why would we go back to the party when we just broke in the bed?”

“Madeline…” He
started, as he sat up.

Oh, no. 
He was beyond doubt thinking way too much.  She had to keep it light.  She had to get him back into the mood.  “Shh.  I have an idea.”  Maddie purred. 

Pressing her hands against his chest she guided him back down
onto the pillow.  Her body shook with anticipation while straddle his waist.  The tip of his glorious penis snuggled deliciously between her folds.  He wasn’t inside her but it was still just as splendorous.

She rocked back and forth until a deep groan rumbled through him.
  Smiling with triumph, she stopped her movements.  To her delight his eyes widened with shock.  He reached for her hips, coaxing them to continue.

Laughing in glee, she shook her head and leaned down.  She pressed her lips lightly to his before whispering over his wonderful mouth, “I want you to just lay here and watch me.”

His mouth came up to hers kissing her full-heartedly.  She kissed him back with a momentary lack of will.  He was a mesmerizing kisser.  No wonder he brought her to orgasm so fiercely before.  With a talented mouth like his there was no question that he could do it again if she asked.  Just the thought of it had her growing moist with expectation.

With a slight moan she rose up allowing him to feast upon her with lustful eyes.  His manhood had enlarged to the point of stretching her feminine lips.  She trembled at the feel of it.  Remembering him inside of her made her rub small circles over his erection.

Lifting her hands to her hair, she watched him watch her as she leisurely removed one clip at a time.  His eyes roomed from her hair to her breast that swayed with her movements, and back up to her eyes.  Wild lust burned through her when she felt him run a lock of her fallen hair over one puckered nipple.

“It’s dangerous for you to be so breathtaking.” 
The huskiness of his voice mixed in brilliantly with her other sensations.

“W-what do you…mean?”  She breathed, loving the way his eyes darkened with need.

Running his hands over each breast he ground out. “Well if Aphrodite is real, then she is insanely jealous of you.  She probably has a hit out on you right now.”

His hands were increasing her sexual drive, while his magnificent cock glided viciously over her clit. 
She couldn’t believe it.  He was going to bring her to orgasm again.

“Speaking of Gods.
  You must be one.” 

He laughed which made her think for a brief second. Did she just say that out loud?  She was so sex craved she had no control of her vocal capabilities.  Not trusting
herself to speak or even think any more, she came up enough to reposition him so she could allow his thick form to fill her fully.

Her head fell back as she swam through the emotions that assaulted her.  It was there just as it had been last time. 
So consuming, so real it was crippling.  Confirming what she had suspected from the moment he walked into her life.  She was in love with him.  Madly in love.

“
Maddie?” His beautifully, rugged voice called to her.                           

Brining her gaze back to his prefect face, she grinned like the love sick fool
that she was.  As her hips began a slow rhythm she traced a finger around his lips.  Riding him from tip to base was madding.  It was all she could do to keep the pace.

Her moves became frantic and before too long her body was pumping like a skilled lover.  His deep, throated moans had her working on a level she didn’t know she was capable of.  Overwhelming passion drove up and into the heart of her.  She cried out as her pleasure devoured her.

“Oh, my sweet angel.”  He growled, coming up to mate his mouth with hers.

He kissed her until the waves settled, and then he began to move under her.  It took only a nanosecond before she realized that he hadn’t come yet.  Clinging onto him she started working her hips again.  His mouth never left hers as they both came to that brink once again.

Jordan
rode down the elevator with Kendra chatting excessively next to him.  He couldn’t wait to rid himself of her.  Not that getting back to Maddie had its appeal either.  Why had he asked her to marry him? 

Maybe it was because he knew that Justin wanted her.
  His brother was all to blunt about it.  He wondered on an occasion if Justin would try anything.  But that thought was usually fallowed by the fact that Justin was the sensible one. 

No,
if given the chance, his brother would chicken out at last minute.  And that’s why he wanted Madeline, to drive Justin crazy.  Only he never thought he would take it to matrimony. 

“
Jordan?  Aren’t you listening.”  Kendra demanded, placing a hand on her slim hip.

“No.  No, I’m not.  But maybe if you had something interesting to say, then maybe I would’ve been.”  He stated absently.

“You can be a real jerk some times.”  She scoffed.  “It’s a damn good thing you’re so good in bed.”

He laughed out loud.  The comment took him by surprise.  “Are you saying that you only come to me for sex?”

“What else is there?” Her answer had him laughing once again. 

Now this was unexpected.  Turning to face her fully
Jordan gave her one good long look.  Maybe there was more to this “bubble-head” as his brother so affectionately named her.

“What?” She asked in the middle of reapplying her lipstick.

“You make me want to take you back up stairs.”  He replied honestly.

She rolled her eyes as she shove the lipstick tube back into her little purse.  “And what would your ‘little woman’” She brought up her fingers imitating the quotations. “
think about that.”

He shrugged nonchalantly.  “She’s with my brother.  I say I can spare a few more minutes.”  Taking her into his arms, he nuzzled her ear.

She giggled as she slapped his shoulder. “When have you ever only taken a few minutes?”

“Umm, good point.”  He agreed.  Cupping one generous breast Jordan wondered if he
should leave Justin alone with Maddie for too long.  Not that he feared that Justin would try anything it was just that he didn’t want his brother drooling on his fiancé.  Although if he was honest with himself he knew they were good for each other.

“Justin?”  A frail voice called from the side of them.

Kendra jumped back at the elderly lady’s inquiry.  While Jordan shoved both hands into his pockets as he turned to face his grandmother.

“Justin, who is your…
friend
?”  His grandmother’s tone didn’t go past him.  She saw him groping Kendra.

Knowing that correcting her over who he really was would be a bad idea seeing that his fiancé was just in the other room,
Jordan ran with it.  “Grandma, this is Kendra Ross.  Kendra this is my grandmother.  We grew up down the street from each other.”  He informed his Granny as if that excused his actions.

“Ah, yes.  I remember you.  Your mother is Kathy. 
Right?” Grandma Grace asked eyeballing Kendra.

He watched Kendra swallow before answering.  “Yes, that’s correct.”

Giving a quick nod, Grandma Grace dismissed her.  “Justin, have a seen your brother?”

Confused,
Jordan exited the elevator with Kendra in tow.  “Isn’t he in there with Madeline?”

“Nope, haven’t seen hide
nor hair of them since I caught them all lovey-dovey here in the lobby.  Which seems to be the popular place for it.”  She murmured the later under her breath.

Jordan
ignored it completely.  “What do you mean all ‘lovey-dovey’?”  That hadn’t been him.  This had been the first time he had seen his Granny all night.

“You know very well what I mean.  It was like what you two were…only more tasteful.” She ridiculed.

His grandmother’s disgust had no effect.  His brain was flying high.  Was he wrong about his morally correct brother?  Had he crossed that line?  Or had his grandmother
thought
she saw something?

“Maybe they left.”  His grandmother presumed.  “They looked like they were too wrapped up in each other to endure this party any longer.  I mean, you should have seen him.”  She giggled. “He wouldn’t even let go of her when I asked him to help me round up the kids.  Then he was right back in her arms the second he got the chance.”

He just couldn’t believe it.  But where would Justin have taken Maddie?  Maddie was all for virtue.  When she had suggested that they wait until their wedding night, he nearly had a heart attack. 

Unless she had changed her mind.

“Ah, young love.”  His grandmother sighed.  “I don’t remember all the details of my life, but love.  Oh, I remember love quite clearly.”

Love?
Ha!  This had nothing to do with love.  His brother might have taken advantage of what was rightfully his. 

“I’m sorry, Grandma.  Will you excuse me?”  He didn’t really wait for an answer before he walked away.  Pulling out his phone he punched his brother’s number forcefully.

“Are you mad about this?” Kendra asked from behind him.

He exhaled a long breath.  He hadn’t expected her to fallow.  “What do you think?”

She let out an exasperated laugh.  “You have got to be kidding me?  You are actually upset with them for what
you
just did upstairs with me?”

Although he couldn’t deny her comment,
Jordan also couldn’t deny the sense of betrayal.  He should have paid more attention to Justin’s little crush.  Obviously, his brother was more like him then he wanted to admit.

He waited until Justin’s voice mail picked up,
then growled.  “Where are you?  Call me.”                     

Madeline couldn’t contain the smile that seemed to take over her face, as the memories of their love making swam around her head.  Lying on her stomach, she sighed as his fingers drew lazy circles over her naked back.  This was precisely where she wanted to be.  Morning never had to come, truthfully she didn’t want it to.

Rolling over she cuddled right into him.  His arms took her into their magnificent hold while she rested her head against one solid peck.  He had unexpectedly soft skin.  It
looked so hard with all his toned muscles.  She couldn’t help it, she had to press herself into all of his curves.

“Madeline.”  He whispered her name over her forehead.  His lips skimmed her skin as he spoke, “I could hold you forever.”

“Umm…” She liked the sound of that.  Even though the unspoken hinted around the edges, she found herself pretending that she hadn’t recognized it.  Snuggling deeper into the haven of his arms, she wanted this forever.  She just didn’t know how to ask for it.

“I know about Kendra.”  Her confession wasn’t easy as it spilled from her suddenly dry lips.  “I’ve known for a
while.”   

He said nothing at first.  The
tension stiffen his muscles that still surround her.  “How?”

She took in two shallow breaths.  Kendra had answered
Jordan’s phone on a night he should’ve been out of town.  She played it beautifully though, claiming that she was the assistant for the client he was there to meet.  That would have been pretty convincing if Maddie hadn’t seen her getting into the cab with him only moments before.  “It doesn’t matter.”      

“The hell it doesn’t!”  Sitting up he ran two hands through his messy hair.  “Why are you here then?”

Now here was the tricky part.  He claimed she would hate him after this, which was utterly ridiculous.  How can someone
hate
another when their so in love with that person?

She nibbled on her lip for a moment.  The awkward silence and his heated gaze were making it hard for her to find the right words that would explain it easier.

“Maddie, tell me why you’re here, when….”  He waved his hand in the air as if coaxing the rest of the sentence to finish without him.      

Coming up on her knees, she positioned her body to face him fully.  “Kendra is not the issue.  In fact I can thank her.  She is the reason behind this
realization.  She made me see where my heart truly rests.”

He let out a groan of pure agony. 
“Oh, Maddie.  I…I’m—”

Placing her finger over his mouth, she rushed forward.  “
Shh, let me finish.  I knew that I was in love with you from the moment I first saw you, and that confused the hell out of me.  It confused me because I belonged to Jordan and he claimed to love me.  But seeing him with Kendra I knew where I really belonged.”
