From Rags to Riches

Biting the bullet

Rebecca:

I can't believe I let Evelynn talk me into this. I stare at myself in the full length mirror and I can feel myself breaking. No, stay strong, Jordan will love this the voice inside me encourages me. I stand up straight, fluff my hair and walk over to the bed. Evelynn suddenly decided that the red lingerie set I bought wasn't good enough, so instead I'm wearing the panties from the set and I've paired it with a red bow around my chest. I never pictured myself doing this, but Jordan makes me feel confident in myself. He makes me feel sexy,  beautiful and comfortable in my own skin.

Jordan opens the door and I'm sure if it were possible his eyes would have popped out of their sockets. His eyes roam all over my body and my cheeks flush. I stand up and I feel a rush of confidence sweep over me. I walk over to him and purposely bite my lip.
"Aren't you going to open your present?" I ask innocently and Jordan smirks.
"This beats the time my mum bought me a race car set" he says and I laugh. Any sense of nervousness has left my body now. He combs his fingers through my hair and leans down to plant his lips on mine. He pulls away too quickly but then raises his hand to grab the end of the ribbon. He pulls at it slowly as if to savour the moment until the bow comes undone. The ribbon falls to the floor and I'm left standing in a pair of red panties and the black heels I've been wearing all night.

"So beautiful" he whispers as once again his eyes roam my body.
"Happy birthday baby" I say when his eyes reconnect with mine.
"I love you" he announces as his lips crash with mine. We become entwined as we land on the bed and Jordan pins me under him. I reach up and unbutton his shirt, lapping up the sight of his sculptured arms and chest. As I reach his abdomen I can't help but run my hand over his abs; which tense under my touch. I go back up to his shoulders and push his shirt over and off of his arms; throwing it into the unknown.

My hands then reach for his belt and I make quick work with unbuckling it and tossing it over his shoulder. The slow effect is wearing off now for both of us. The desire is becoming too strong to go slow. Within minutes we are both stripped bare and I bite my lip. I've only been with Conrad, and already this feels different. I feel at ease with Jordan, whereas with Conrad I was constantly worried if I was good enough for him. The way Jordan looks at me, I see nothing but love and lust in his eyes. I'm making him feel this way. He kisses me with fire and passion and we're lost in an abyss...

"I got you another present" I say after we've come around from our love making. Jordan's fingers burn a trail up and down my spine as we lie on our sides facing each other.
"You do? That present wasn't enough?" He asks with a chuckle and I grin with excitement. I roll over to the end of the bed and pull out a box with another bow on top. I roll back over and hand it to Jordan who has a face splitting grin on his face.
"What?" I ask raising my eyebrow.
"I just got a great view of your arse"
He shrugs and let's out a roaring laugh when I swat his chest.
"Do you want this? I can give it to Dominic" I threaten waving the present in front of him. He quickly takes the box from my hands and hugs it to his chest.
"No mine" he says in a child's voice and pouts. I laugh and lean over to kiss his puckered lips and snuggle into his side. He starts stroking the box and I poke his arm.
"You do know the present is inside the box right?" I say with a giggle which receives his gorgeous and reserved shy smile.
"The only presents I've ever gotten have been from my family" he confesses with his eyes still on the box and my heart goes out to the little copper haired boy who had to endure four years of emotional and physical torture. I stroke his bare arm in comfort and he kisses the top of my head before untying the bow and opening the box.

"This is going on the fridge" he announces as he holds up Sienna's card that she made for him. It's a drawing of us three on the front which makes Jordan grin from ear to ear. He then gets to the present which is in a smaller box and opens it.
"Wow, Rebecca" he looks at the cuff links in awe and grins when he sees the engraving. The cuff links are a cube and on either side are the initials 'JM' and 'RK'.
"I love them, and I love you. Thankyou" he sets everything on his end table and pulls me in so we're nose to nose.
"I was worried you thought they'd be cheesy" I admit with a giggle and he shakes his head.
"No, they're perfect, you're perfect, today has been perfect. I can't thank you enough for what you've done for me" he tells more with pure honestly in his eyes. I lean in and whisper in his ear.
"I know one way to thank me" I say seductively and trail my hand down his stomach. He groans and rolls me onto my back where we connect once again.

I wake up to find Jordan has once again wrapped me up in an embrace. Legs tangled together, head on my chest and his arms around me like a vice. This tends to be his body's way of getting out of a nightmare. I manage to get out of his grasp without disturbing him and walk into the bathroom. I can hear Sienna's steady breathing on the monitor so I know I've got a while before she wakes up.
I just get the shampoo in my hair when Jordan walks in gloriously nude.
"Showering without me?" He asks acting hurt.
"Come in, I need help getting the shampoo out" I say back and he climbs in behind me. I turn around and give him a kiss.
"Good morning"
"Morning beautiful" he greets me as he rinses the shampoo from my hair. I moan in pleasure as his fingers on my scalp are heavenly.
"Don't make those noises" he says and I frown in confusion.
"What?"
"Those noises are what made you irresistible last night, and if you carry on we'll never get out of this shower" he explains and I feel heat all over my body. What this man does to me.
"I can't get enough of you Rebecca" he continues as he massages conditioner into my hair.
"Well that answers my question of if I was good enough last night" the words are out of my mouth before I have the chance to stop them. His fingers still in my hair and he lifts my chin up towards his dazzling stormy eyes.
"Baby, you have no idea what you make me feel. Last night was the best night of my life, don't ever doubt yourself" I bite my lip to hold back tears and in return I give him a searing kiss.

We get out of the shower and dry each other, relishing in the others touch and soon enough we're back on the bed. But before things get heated, a little voice interrupts us from the other room.
"Mummy, I'm home and I'm hungry" we both groan in frustration and get up to get ready for another day of family fun.
