“Baby, I'm sorry you feel that way, but you are so freaking deluded.” I started to get angry again when he gripped the back of my neck and tugged me forward. His eyes were intense as he stared down at me. “Yes, I loved Olivia. Yes, I meant those words when I wrote them. But I was nineteen years old. She was my first serious girlfriend. I was an immature college freshman getting my first regular piece of ass so I thought she was it.” My throat seized.

Jordan kissed my nose softly. “But that was a lifetime ago. And I've grown up a lot since then. I'm not saying that I didn't feel strongly for Liv, but stuff has seriously changed since then. And I've learned that the love I thought I felt was more of an infatuation with the idea of her. I told you before that things had been messed up between us for a while. I wasn't just talking out of my ass. It's the truth. She and I were not a functional couple. She is selfish and self-involved. If something didn't relate to her Chi Delta world, she didn't care about it. You know last night was the first time she had been to one of my shows in over a year? She couldn't give a shit about my music. It was more of an inconvenience for her and she was constantly trying to get me to leave the band. Now does that sound like a healthy relationship to you?” Wow, even I knew that music was an integral part of who Jordan was. I couldn't imagine him not playing. It was like telling someone to stop breathing.

Jordan kissed the corner of my mouth. “But you get it. In the four months I've known you, you see more of me than she ever did. For the first time I feel like I can be myself and let loose with someone. We connect on a level Olivia and I never did.” He placed his lips on mine in a gentle kiss that made my toes curl. “I feel like you were made just for me, Maysie Ardin. Everything about you makes me want you more. Even your jealous little snits have me wanting to haul you over my shoulder and take you back to your bedroom just to show you how much you mean to me.” Well crap.

“That's just lust. I mean yeah, we have a serious physical attraction, but...” Jordan's mouth cut me off and I forgot what I was saying. He kissed me roughly, just the way I liked it. After a few seconds he ripped his mouth from mine and he breathed heavily as he gripped the sides of my face with his hands.

“This is more than just physical attraction and you know it. I have NEVER wanted someone the way I want you. This thing I feel for you isn't rational. It doesn't really make sense, but it's there. And I'll be damned if I let you run away from it just because you feel insecure. Because there is no other girl for me, Mays. You are it.” Wow. Um, just wow. I had no words.

My coffee was forgotten as I wrapped my arms around his neck. “No more running,” he murmured as his mouth met mine again. He ran his hands down my back and I shivered.

“No more running,” I agreed, letting him pick me up so I could wrap my legs around his waist. He carried me down the hallway and into my bedroom. He didn't kiss me again until he laid me down on the bed. He ran his hand down the length of my body as he lowered his lips to kiss the side of my neck.

“I'm sorry I was such an idiot,” I whispered as his tongue slid upward to my ear. I gasped as he sucked my lobe into his mouth, sending an electric jolt straight to my vagina.

“I'll forgive you, this once,” he rasped in my ear as his hand started to slid up the side of my shorts. “Kiss me, Maysie.” Jordan demanded as his fingers pushed aside my underwear and started to tease the outer edges of my throbbing center.

“Yes, sir,” I got out as his finger slid inside me. I attacked his mouth with my tongue and teeth. I bit down on his lower lip and he moaned deep in the back of his throat. He slipped a second finger inside me, pushing them knuckle deep into my core.

My tongue swept into his mouth and I spent a good deal of time exploring the barbell hidden there. God I loved his tongue ring. He withdrew his fingers to the tips and then pushed them back in with a force that made me arch my back. His thumb started circling my clit and I felt the slow burn start to smolder. He found a perfect rhythm and I became undone at the expert curve of his fingers. Our mouths were frenzied against each other. My orgasm came with an earth shattering explosion. I was left panting and dear god, I wanted more.

Jordan withdrew his fingers and I watched in fascination as he put them in his mouth and sucked on them. He closed his eyes and moaned. “God, I wish I could keep your taste in my mouth all day long.” He opened his eyes and grinned at me, making me blush. No one had ever talked to me the way he did. It was arousing and more than a little naughty.

Jordan leaned down and kissed the underside of my chin. “I'm nowhere near done with you,” he promised as he took a hold of the hem of my shirt and pulled it over my head. I clumsily undid the buttons of his shirt and peeled it off of him. I traced the curves of his tattoo on the side of his neck. Yeah, it was time to taste that skin of his.

While Jordan slid my panties and shorts off, I put my mouth to his neck and lightly ran my tongue along the lines of his ink. I felt him shudder as he wrenched the clothing off my body. His hands ran along my stomach and upwards to my br**sts. He cupped them in his hands and ran his thumbs along my hard ni**les. I continued my torturous exploration of his skin, gliding my mouth along his shoulders and down into the hollow of his throat. He tasted salty and absolutely, 100 percent delicious.

I realized I was completely naked. Jordan had never seen me without my clothes in the light of day before. I felt a little shy all of the sudden, even with the crazy things we were doing to each other's bodies. Jordan lowered his mouth to my nipple, pulling it into his mouth and sucked the sensitive bud until I was gasping for breath. His one hand came up to the other breast and rubbed and teased, while his other hand went back between my legs to run along the wet slit. Crap, this boy was a multitasker. I was impressed.
