Jordan suddenly remembered where they were.
"Mattie come up to my apartment with me it's safe there I promise "
"I don't have anything with me I need to go to my apartment " Mattie whispered
Jordan shook his head "No you don't baby.Let's go get lunch and do some shopping "
"Jordan –"
"You're not going to win this sweetheart "Jordan interjected as he led her out the side door to the secure parking area.
Jordan opened the passenger side door of his truck for Mattie ,gently closing it before getting into the driver's seat.
"Whatever phone you'd like just tell me and we'll get it. Your old phone is a piece of shit anyway."
Mattie nodded but didn't open her mouth.
Grasping her hand in his as he entered the highway Jordan flipped on the radio to break the silence
Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Began to fill the silence between them. Jordan squeezed her hand as he exited the highway toward South Shore Mall in Braintree .
Strangers waitin', up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searchin' in the night
Streetlight people, living just to find emotion
Hidin', somewhere in the night
Mattie shifted her gaze to Jordan as he sang along with the very familiar melody
"Sorry if it's intolerable I'll stop " Jordan chuckled
Mattie shook her head "N-no i-it's fine . your voice –"
"That bad huh?" Jordan asked as he pulled into a parking space
"N-No not really "
Jordan cut the engine, unhooked his seatbelt , leaned over and released Mattie's .Before she knew it Mattie felt herself being hauled into Jordan's lap
Looking into her eyes Jordan held her gaze "Mattie this shy has to go. We're long past this baby. I care about you a lot you're on my mind constantly . You have taken care of me when I didn't deserve it , shown me that there are actually still people in this world who care about others . Tell me you don't feel whats going on between us and I will let you go.Or you can admit that you feel it too and I can show you what it's like to be treated like the lady you are the lady I'm falling for "
The last part slipped out and Jordan cursed under his breath . It was too soon he didn't want to scare her away
Their eyes met for a second before Jordan twined his fingers through her hair frustrated at the bun she kept it in. "Why do you wear this damn thing anyway ?"
"Keeps my hair out of the way "
Gently tugging on the clip that held the bun in place Jordan whispered "It's not in the way "
As Mattie's hair fell Jordan's fingers wove through it guiding Mattie closer ,his eyes still locked with her own .
As Jordan's lips met Mattie's again , she felt herself instinctively leaning into him
The kiss seemed to go on for minutes when they finally broke free from one another
Jordan cleared his throat as he looked around dazed realizing where they were "We better get this shopping done before we get arrested "
Mattie blankly stared at him
Chuckling Jordan gently slid her off of his lap , got out of the driver's seat and held out his hand for Mattie.
They walked from store to store as Jordan insisted on Mattie purchasing whatever she needed before finally stopping at the Verizon store Twenty minutes later after several protests from Mattie which Jordan countered with A working phone is a must on this team they emerged with a new iphone along with case chargers ,screen protection and a new number on Jordan's personal account .They got back into Jordan's truck.
After hitting a few buttons on his phone Jordan fired the truck up and was soon on the road to his penthouse
They entered Jordan's apartment once the new security system which now boasted facial recognition , recognized who he was Jordan put down the massive amount of bags ,holding the door open for Mattie.
The look he gave her dared her to protest but she found it adorable.
Smiling as she walked through his front door Mattie held in a giggle.
"What's so amusing?"
"That adorable look on your face right now "
Jordan arched a brow
"You're trying to play off like you're irritated because I was about to tell you that you didn't have to hold the door for mw but in reality, you're not mad at all "
Jordan smirked at her as he snaked his arm around her waist pulling her into him.Without another word his lips found hers.
The purchases forgotten Jordan continued kissing Mattie backing her up against the wall
Mattie gasped as he depended the kiss
"Baby I don't know what the fuck power you have over me but I like " Jordan murmured against her lips
Freeing her hair from the pins Jordan ran his fingers through it until it tumbled around her shoulders.
Mattie gasped as she felt him push into her thigh
"I want you Mattie " Jordan murmured nipping at her collar bone
"I-I've never . .."
"I know baby "
Mattie stared into his eyes , her own vulnerable and unsure
"Relax babygirl. No pressure. If you're not ready we can wait ." Jordan reassured her softly
Lifting her into his arms as if she weighed nothing ,Jordan carried Mattie to the sofa .
Setting her down gently Jordan sat down next to her before pulling her into his lap
"I want you baby but not until you're ready. I don't know what this is between us but I know you feel it too. If you need time I'll wait ."
Mattie turned to look out the large floor to ceiling windows
Jordan slipped his arms around her waist "You don't have to be afraid of me baby.I know I was a dick when we met and I apologize. I'm not your boss right now.Right now it's just you and me ."
Mattie instinctively leaned back against Jordan ,resting her head on his shoulder ,looking up into his eyes . Eyes that held everything and spoke Jordan's emotions for him.
Mattie leaned up ,lightly kissing Jordan's chin "I-I do too "
Jordan looked down at her curiously
"I – I feel it too "
"Baby I'm right here with you don't ever hesitate to tell me what you're feeling "
Jordan shifted so that she was straddling him , pushing back a lock of her hair he leaned in kissing her again
Jordan deepend the kiss and he didn't stop until they were both breathless
Resting his forehead against Mattie's trying to catch his breath Jordan's hands began to wander ,caressing her back ,moving around to concentrate on her stomach and finally her breasts.
A moan escaped Mattie's lips before she could stop it
"Your skin is so soft baby." Jordan whispered
"C-can I touch yo-you ?" Mattie whispered nervously
"You don't have to ask baby "
Nervously Mattie ran her finger down Jordan's chest stopping to feel the spattering of hair there before continuing to his stomach
Jordan moaned quietly, as Mattie instantly stilled
Placing her hand back where it was in silent encouragement Jordan let Mattie set the pace
When she reached the waistband of his jeans Mattie froze
Jordan took over kissing her deeply "It's okay sweetheart "
Mattie felt her shirt being lifted over her head as Jordan trailed kisses down her neck to the swell of her breasts and onto her stomach.
Baring her breasts Jordan sucked a nipple into his mouth teasing gently and Mattie arched her back to him giving more access
Hating himself for wanting to put the brakes on Jordan pulled back "Mattie I want you I don't know how much more I can hold out. If you don't want this tell me now and I'll stop "
Mattie looked down realizing she was completely open to him,
