Chapter Five

Sunday, July 19th

JORDAN

I awoke just as the sun was rising. I looked down and seen a lovely sleeping Sydney still in my arms. Brushing a strand of hair from her face, I watched as her even breathing was going at a steady pace. In that moment all I could think of was how much she means to me. I thought back to the day we met and how she made me feel. How every day since then has filled me with something more than I could have ever hoped or expected. I hadn't left that day looking for anything or anyone special. Yet, someone special found me.

This feeling that used to seem so foreign now seems like my safe haven. Having her in my arms makes me wonder how I was able to function these past eighteen years without her. How did I survive without her in my life? I know it might seem like everything between has happened so quickly, but I can't stop this unstoppable force any more than I could stop the sun from rising.

My continued gaze at the woman lying next to me couldn't be helped. It's hard to look away from something so beautiful. Why she's with me will forever be a mystery to me. I never once thought of myself as someone even remotely special, well, aside from the obvious appendage. But even then I used to think of it as some character defect. It wasn't until my friendship with Kennedy and Cole that I was able to come out of my shell. Once they found out and I realized they accepted me for who I was there was no going back.

It was up to me to accept myself for who I am. Which brings me to why I feel it's best if people know about me from the beginning. Especially if they want to form a friendship with me, why hide it. I would rather they make their reservations about me in the beginning then be angry at me for not telling them later. And once I was able to accept myself, I learned that more often than not, people respect me more for having said something. I realized at a young age not to be ashamed of who you are, I was lucky in that way. Learning something that can take some people a lifetime to figure out.

What others think about me, doesn't matter to me anymore. Just as long as I have Sydney in my life. For as long as I have her, I know nothing else matters. I guess for now, me and her will just have to live in the moment.

"Why so serious?" A welcomed voice pulling me from my thoughts. I turned to see emerald orbs staring at me. I was so lost in my thoughts I didn't even hear or notice her stir.

"I don't know. Just deep early AM thoughts, I guess." I admitted, sighing out a long breath. Unsure of how much I should reveal.

"Oh really? What about?" She inquired as she made herself more comfortable, her half of her body now laying on my chest.

"Us" I answered honestly.

"Hmm." I could feel her light breathing as she laid her head in the crook of my neck, the beating of her heart against my own. "Come to any conclusions?" Sydney lifted her head to look at me. Staring at me intently.

"Yeah. Just one." I replied cryptically. Knowing how suspense makes her feel. At this point I was just doing it to playfully torture her, letting the words hang in the air. I tried to remain as indifferent as I possibly could, even though all I wanted to do was laugh.

By this time I think she had enough of my short sided answers as well as the suspense. Before I could process what was happening, Sydney was straddling me. "Do you want to tell me about it?" She asked with a short giggle and a seductive smirk.

"I don't know if you're ready for it." I replied playfully. I could make this go on for a while.

"Oh, trust me darling, I'm ready for whatever you have to give." Sydney seductively tilted her head to the side, biting her lower lip. She knew exactly what that did to me. I didn't know how long I could hold back. This conversation was taking a drastic turn.

"You're such a perv." I teased. We both knew it wasn't just one sided.

"You're one to talk." She remarked, I knew she would call me out on it. It was only a matter of time.

I only had one example in the chamber. "Do I have to remind you about our first date?" I inquired with a furrowed brow. My smile more prominent as I flashed back to the night in question.

Sydney returned my smile. "I didn't force you to keep them." Her melodious giggle echoed in our small corner of the world.

"You might as well have." It was my one and only comeback. I was hanging on by a thread and we both knew it. Sydney grabbed my hands and pinned them above my head, placing one wrist over the other.

"Don't be such a prude. You know you loved it." She licked her lips. She also wasn't wrong. I felt her remove one of her hands from my wrists. She put her free hand up and motioned her index finger from side to side, mouthing the words, 'Don't move', I wouldn't move even if I wanted to. I was becoming too excited about the prospect of what could happen next.

"It probably made you hard just looking at them." Sydney ran her hand from neck, through the valley of my breasts, down to my abs. I shivered at her touch. "Remembering what transpired only moments before." She continued to torment me with her words. She took her time on caressing my abs, outlining the contours of each muscle. "Am I wrong?" I felt her hand begin its descent further down.

I didn't know how much longer I could take it or even if I could take it at all. Sydney knew exactly how to press every one of my buttons. She knew exactly where to touch me to get me to talk. Her hand started to retract, fuck this woman is going to be the death of me. I couldn't take it anymore. "Fine. Yes, it did." I finally admitted. She smiled victoriously. "But you can hardly blame me. It was and still is the most erotic thing anyone has ever done for me."

"Can I tell you a little secret?" She asked, leaning in making sure to get close to my left ear.

"Always." I encouraged.

"It was my first time doing that for anyone." She whispered, sitting back up again. "All things considered, I was hoping to make a lasting impression." She stated with a wink.

I couldn't agree more. "You certainly made an impression alright. But to be perfectly honest, you make a lasting impression no matter what you do." I confessed.

"Is that right?" She shot me a questioning look.

"Just being honest." I said in return. I wasn't lying, when it comes to how I feel about her, there's no need for me to lie. "In the spirit of honesty, there has been something I've been wanting to tell you for a while now." I figured now was as good as time as any.

"Ooooh, this sounds serious." She said, wiggling her hips in an attempt to be playfully dramatic and get comfortable.

I lifted her hips up a little so I could sit with my back against the headboard. "Well, it is actually." Sydney moved up with me, taking the position she did before. "But in a good way. Depending on how you look at it."

"Jordan."

I was so nervous, I couldn't stop myself from sounding like an idiot. My once suave stoic demeanor coming unhinged. "I mean you could totally stop me if I'm – "

Before I could utter another word, Sydney put her index finger against my lips. "Jordan. Shhhh, baby, you're rambling. Just say it already." Her voice coming out as soft as velvet, staring at me with rapt attention.

I returned her gaze. "There's no easy way to say it." I could see a hint of worry within her eyes. So, I hurriedly tried to continue, "earlier, you asked me why I was so serious. And the truth is, I was sorting out my feelings for you." The light in her eyes starting to go out as she frowned. She shifted a little uncomfortably on my stomach. I wasn't going to let that deter what I wanted to say. "There's no denying the chemistry we share, the passion, care and affection we have for one another. There's also no denying how strongly I feel for you, no amount of time or distance is ever going to stop how I feel." I could see the light coming back in her emerald orbs, a smile beginning to adorn her gorgeous face. "I guess what I'm really trying to say is, I'm in love with you Sydney."

Time seemed to have stood still as I awaited her reaction. Whether she felt the same way or not, I felt she had the right to know how I truly felt. It took me all of twenty minutes into our first date to realize I was going to fall and fall hard for this woman. I had finally done it, I put my heart out there, now it was up to her to decide what to do with it.

As we continued to stare at each other, I noticed Sydney hadn't said or reacted to my confession. Other than being shocked at the revelation. I had to say something to gain back some type of self-preservation. "I understand if you don't feel the same way, but I ju - "

"I love you too." She replied with pure love in her eyes. My heart instantly filling with an abundance of happiness I never felt before. Those four words held more within them than I could have ever imagined, giving it more meaning because they came from Sydney. She leaned in and kissed me tenderly on the lips.

Within a matter of seconds the kiss ignited into one with fervor. The heat rising between us as the kiss grew with intensity. Before I could fully process what was happening our clothes were scattered throughout the room. I couldn't even tell you how we went from clothed to our clothes lying in heaps on the floor.

Sydney was straddling my legs, our bodies pressed together as we continued our vehement lip lock, my hands explored her hips, back, and hair. The primal instinct, need, desire taking over as I ran my fingers through her silky dark brown tresses. Sydney pulled away just enough so her hands could examine my body, her touch rekindling the flames. I could feel the arduousness of her touch traveling its way down to my hardening appendage.

As always, with every graze of her hands, fingers or any part of her body for that matter, had the ability to turn my cock into tungsten. I felt her wet folds wrap partially around my solid member, her hips grinding up and down. The tip of my cock dripping with pre-cum, while her entrance oozed it's warm honey nectar, causing more than enough lubrication. Light moans from both of us filled the corner of the room.

Every time she would push back then come forward, I would feel the tip of my phallus graze her entrance. Sydney sat up and continued her ministrations, working her hips in a steady rhythm, heightening the feeling of rapture. Part of me wanted to prolong the friction and the tension we were creating, while the other part of me wanted nothing more than to take her and have my way with her.

Sydney's moans brought me out of my carnal thoughts. Instead, I paid close attention to the look of pleasure on her angelic face, placing my hands on either side of her hips, gently guiding her back and forth. Her eyes were closed as she bit down on her bottom lip, lost in the sensation of the simple act. I couldn't help but mirror her, the stimulation was getting to me. I didn't know how much more of this teasing I could take.

Just as I was about to go crazy with the anticipation of waiting, Sydney lifted her hips, then without hesitation she grabbed my cock and guided it to her entrance. Her movements seeming too slow, but it made the moment and the anticipation of me having her, all the more desirable. I felt her walls stretch as she cautiously lowered herself on to me, easing the familiar friction between us. Once I was fully inside her, she threw her head back as she started riding me, moaning in pleasure.

After a few minutes, Sydney looked down at me, a seductive smile displayed on her gorgeous face. She put her hands on my shoulders, bracing herself for whatever she was about to next. She increasing her momentum, I let a moan of my own as she rode me harder. The lust in her eyes fueled my urge to thrust upwards as she came down on me. Grabbing her hips, I lifted her up as I pulled out to the tip, then let her crash down on me.

Sydney grabbed the headboard to better brace herself as she continued her motions on my cock. The bed creaked beneath us as she moved up and down, the headboard knocking against the wall. Her perfectly round breasts swaying back and forth, a true feast for the eyes. Our combined moans of pleasure echoing throughout the room. After about fifteen minutes of her riding me, I could see the fatigue in her movements.

I lifted her up, while I was still buried deep in her. Laying her on her back our heads at the foot of the bed. I lifting up her right leg and putting it over my shoulder. Thrusting myself deeper inside her, the sound of our bodies colliding fueled my need to bring her close to ecstasy. Sydney arched her back as I drove my cock in and out of her wet pussy. I felt her tighten around my shaft, I knew she was almost ready to cum. I pumped into her with unrelenting fervor.

Next thing I know her cries of ecstasy reverberated throughout the room. Her body shuddering from her climax. But I was far from done. I was just getting started.

Slowing down my efforts, letting Sydney catch her bearings, I swung her leg around my shoulder. Rolling her over onto her left side, while I positioned myself behind her. She lifted up her leg as I wedged myself between her legs from behind. Keeping her leg elevated enough and letting it rest on my arm as I pushed myself back inside her. I moaned as I filled her channel once again, burying myself in her opening, my thrusts quick and deep.

Sydney wrapped her right arm around my neck, taking hold of the back of my head, grasping at my hair as I pumped in and out of her. The Egyptian goddess' moans encouraged me to drive harder into her, with such force that she would scream in pleasure. I could feel myself beginning to erupt, but I wanted to stave off my own climax for as long as I could. This moment was about her and what I wanted, no, what I needed to give her. It only took another ten minutes until Sydney came for the second time.

Once again, I slowed down so she could come down from her high and give us a chance to catch our breath. I took my arm out from underneath her raised leg, unsheathing myself from her well fucked opening. The cold air hitting my cock, I immediately missed being inside of her, she groaned at the action. I watched as Sydney laid on her stomach, breathing heavily.

I took this time to get up, spreading her legs then positioning myself between them. Without further encouragement, the Egyptian goddess raised her hips and pulled herself off the bed. She turned her head to look at me, her wanton expression was all I needed to continue. I stroked my cock a couple of times as she stared at me with lust filled eyes, biting her lower lip, pushing her hips back. I moved back just in time before she could get what she wanted. It was my turn to tease the beauty in front of me.

The look of disappointment told me I was getting the desired affect I wanted. But that didn't stop her from pushing herself back again, tempting me with her round juicy ass. I knew I was only torturing myself in the process after her third attempt to push into me. With one hand I grabbed her hip and then guided my engorged shaft between her wet folds, sliding back and forth as slow as possible.

I wanted her to feel what I felt when she was on top of me earlier. The utter torture she put me through, the teasing of what lay ahead. I teased her by pointing the head of my cock at her entrance, but not enough to penetrate her. Pre-cum dripped from the slit of my cock, I let it fall on her beautiful rosebud. Sydney moaned at the sensation, the anticipation growing with every second that passed.

The stimulation driving both of us crazy, Sydney matched my efforts, I could feel her body twitch every time my shaft would rub against her clit. The feeling was becoming too much that I couldn't stand another second of not taking what was mine to take. Deciding to put an end to the torture, I grabbed either side of her hips and entered her from behind.

Lunging my hips forward feeling my pelvis hitting her perfectly luscious backside. The slapping of our bodies resounding in the room. The harder I pushed into her, the harder my Egyptian goddess pushed back. Rivulets of sweat were coating both of our bodies, her once lavender scented room now smelled of sex. In the moment it was just another driving force for us to get caught up in our carnal desires.

Nothing else mattered in this moment aside from our imminent release. Although, we both knew we could never fully satiate our strong sexual attraction for each other. Which inevitably transpired into a love I never felt before. All I needed, all I craved was to be with this woman. Her happiness meant more to me than my own.

No words needed to be exchanged, we both knew what this was. I captured a fist full of her hair and pulled it back, earning a moan of approval from my Egyptian goddess. As I tugged on her hair it only fueled her to match each of my thrusts. I felt the familiar feeling of my balls about to be drained. I could feel the fluid slowly making its way up my shaft. I fucked her with as much energy as I could muster.

As I grunted with everything I had, Sydney's wet dripping entrance tightened around my cock. The more it tightened, the more I could feel my load about to shoot up inside her and coat her walls. With a deep guttural moan from me and a scream from my lover, I unloaded inside of her awaiting canal. Her walls contracted on my cock, which made me shoot another load within the depths of her pussy. Each time she contracted, she was milking me for all I was worth. Groaning in pleasure as the volcanic eruption seemed to go on forever.

It took us more than five minutes for us to catch our breath. I let her hair fall to her sides. I moved a thick strand of her hair to one side, I leaned forward and kissed the side of her neck. We remained like that until my member went flaccid. Both of us exhausted from our carnal activities. I pulled out of her, once again feeling the now cold air. Immediately missing the feeling of her.

We both collapsed on the bed. Caught up in the afterglow. Sydney turned around to face me, entangling our legs. Wrapping our arms around each other. She looked at me with adoring emerald eyes, "I love you." She said, while pulling me closer to her.

"I love you too." I lovingly kissed the top of her head, tightening my hold on her just a little.
