Each word weaves a stronger bond between us.
Each word heals the fractures of the past.
“One of the reasons I love you is because of your strength and your unyielding passion.” Jordan runs her fingers along my bicep. “You see the world in ways that inspire me as an artist. Your business acumen is astounding. Mostly, it’s the way you love me. You're it for me.”
Her words wash over me, bringing me peace and a feeling of joy I can't describe. I belong to her. “Baby, you’ve brought a vibrancy to my life I didn't know was missing. You inspire me and challenge me in all the best ways. A world without you is unimaginable.”
As the night bleeds into early morning and our eyes grow heavy, I’m filled with a new understanding. We’ve crossed a crucial threshold. Our past mistakes have been transformed into lessons, forging a deeper, more profound bond.
Unbreakable.
“I’m happy we’re together,” I whisper, holding her close.
“Me too.” Her breath is warm against my skin. “We have something truly special. Something worth cherishing and fighting for.”
As we both drift to sleep, I’m enveloped in a profound sense of peace. The challenges ahead no longer seem insurmountable. Here, in this moment, I feel an unshakeable sense of belonging and a renewed commitment to our love.
For the first time, I believe we’re more than two individuals.
Jordan and I are a union of hearts and souls.
It’s a hair after five a.m.
Lying beside me, Jordan stirs, her eyes fluttering open. She reaches out to trace the line of my jaw. “Morning,” she murmurs, her voice thick with sleep.
“Hi, my beautiful girl.” My heart swells at the sight of her in my bed. “I didn’t want to wake you, but I’ve got an early start today.”
She yawns and props herself up on one elbow, the sheets slip to reveal the curve of her breast. “How are you feeling about it?”
“Honestly? I’m determined. More than ever. Last night, with you…it’s given me a new inspiration.” I kiss her nose. “I want to win this, not only for me, but for us. Are you okay on your own for a couple hours?”
Jordan threads her fingers in my hair and kisses me. “I have no doubt you and your team will nail it, baby. And don’t worry about me. I’m planning on flying home this afternoon after breakfast with an old tattoo friend from Amsterdam. I’d like to get some intel on the local market. If there’s time, I may slip in some shopping. All you need to do is focus on winning this bid. When you’re in Seattle next week, we’ll figure out our next steps.”
“God damn, I love you.” I catch her hand and press a kiss to her palm. “Having you with me, even for a night, has reenergized my focus. Knowing we’re in a good place—it’s everything.”
She has a mischievous glint in her eyes. “Well, I do aim to surprise and impress. If you’re up for it, we can do something about your morning wood, but if you need to get going…”
“Fuck, baby.” My mostly-hard dick twitches against her thigh. “I’m always up for it.”
Jordan pulls back the sheets and lets her knees fall open. “Good, because I’m wet for you…”
And…I’m fully erect.
Twenty minutes later, we’re satiated for the moment. I jump in the shower and watch as she brushes her teeth. Then we switch. The simple routine of getting ready seems to match the energy of our renewed commitment.
As she zips up her little carryon, I wrap my arms around her from behind and bury my face in her silky, blonde hair. “I’m going to miss you.”
She turns in my arms and places her palm on my heart. “I’ll miss you too. But this isn’t goodbye. It’s a ‘see you soon.’”
“I know.” I lean down to capture her lips. “I’ll FaceTime you every day. Once I’m home, we’ll make all the plans. Seattle, London… Wherever we are, as long as we’re together.”
Her eyes shine with affection. “Together.”
With one last kiss, we depart the hotel and part ways.
Jordan’s off to meet her friend and I’m going to kick ass in this final stretch of Project SoHo. As I watch her walk toward the cafe, I've never been happier. My drive to succeed professionally is more meaningful knowing I’ll be building a future with the woman I love.
With Jordan by my side, even from across the ocean, anything feels possible.
