Forbidden Secrets (Completed ✅)

Ten

When Jordan got to the door with 124 on it he took a deep breath.  Reaching up to knock  he stopped himself.
What the hell was he doing? She was going to think he was a freak.
Jordan couldn't help that something inside him just couldn't let this go. He raised his hand again and this time he found the courage to knock

The knocking on her door jolted Steph out of a very restless sleep. Confused she rolled over and checked her watch. 5:45.
who the hell is that,
Steph  silently wondered  as she staggered out of bed  over to the door.
When she opened it the sight absolutely floored her. There stood Jordan all sleepy eyed and wrinkled.
"Hey beautiful " Jordan said brightly
"Hey yourself" Steph replied as she propped open the door. Jordan walked in  looking around awkwardly
"Sorry if I woke you up" he said shyly.
"Oh that's ok" she replied  walking over to sit on the bed. "It's only fair" she murmured through a big yawn.
He quietly laughed as he  sat down beside her.
Why this was so damn awkward?
Jordan  wondered frustrated.  Suddenly  he felt like a kid again.
"So you already to go" Steph asked   patting his leg
"Got everything that you need" she added with a playful nudge at his shoulder
"Thanks to you" he said nudging her back.
"Well I have heard some rumors...." She started
"Oh shut it" he said teasingly "I am not a child you know"
"Well men never do really grow up" she chuckled.
He tiredly dropped his head in his hands.
"Thanks for doing that anyway" he said quietly to the floor
"You're welcome" she replied reaching up to rub his arm.
He saw something glint on the thin carpet and he leaned over to pick it up. Straightening he raised the necklace in the air.
"Hey where did you find that?" Steph asked  leaning over to grab it.
Jordan nudged her away
"Looks like a necklace" Jordan  explained  holding it by the chain "a broken one at that" he finished holding  the two split ends in the air.
"Oh shit" Steph mumbled taking the necklace from him
"I loved that one" she frowned  tossing it onto the night stand.
"What was it" Jordan asked as he eyed it
"Oh it was just a cheapo silver lower case S" she said as she laid on the bed "You know those trendy initial necklaces" she finished gesturing absently in the air.
"Ok" he said curiously as he laid down beside her.
She sighed and swiped at her sleepy eyes again.
Jordan raised up on an elbow
"Why did you leave" he asked bluntly
Surprised by his question Steph laughed nervously. She didn't quite know to put it into words.
"Well........." she paused to meet his eyes "I just thought it would be easier"
"What?" he spat back affronted  "is that what you think I am like, just have sex with a woman  then kick her out in the morning without some much as a goodbye"
She raised up on an elbow to face him "That's just it, I don't know what you are like"
Well that was the truth, Jordan thought absently.
How were they going to fix that?
"I guess you're right" he replied smiling "I guess the challenge now is trying to fix that"
"What?" Steph asked  looking at him confused.
Where was he going with this conversation?
"I am sorry that I have to leave like this so soon" Jordan  apologized glancing at his watch. The time seemed to just fly by.
"Where's your phone?" he asked suddenly as  Steph looked at him confused
"I will give you my number and you can call me? "He clarified
Confused beyond her tiredness she got up slowly  fishing her phone out of her pocketbook before walking back over to Jordan.
Handing Jordan her phone she stood staring at him confused
Jordan recited the numbers out loud as he entered them in her phone. Once he finished he handed her the phone back
"Is this really your number?" Steph asked not really believing what was happening
"Yeah it is, why don't you call it?" Jordan told her  smiling sheepishly.
She pressed dial. Immediately  his phone lit up.
He grinned sheepishly as he silenced it
"See now I have your number" Jordan told her with a devilish laugh.
"Hey that was dirty" she said amused; liking the fact that he went out of his way just to get it.
They sat in silence just looking at each other, searching each other's face.
He reached out  rubbing her face and she sighed. Jordan just couldn't help himself. Leaning  in Jordan tenderly kissed her.
Steph adjusted her position so she could move closer to him  deepening the kiss. His hands started to wander and she could feel the warmth rising in her middle again so she was glad when the knock echoed at her door.
She jumped up to answer it as she  heard Jordan  whisper "Damn it" behind her.
Bubba stood there smiling hugely in the dawning sun.
"I have come for my boy" he said chuckling
"Well he is right here" she said gesturing over to him
"So did you get any sleep last night" he asked her curiously
"A little" she grinned at him "Thanks for replenishing my habits" she told him gesturing to the table where the cigarettes lay.
"Any time glad to do it" he said looking over to Jordan
"We need to get rolling before we miss the plane" he said with a nod
"Right. I'll be right there" Jordan replied walking over to Steph.
"You better call me when you get home" Bubba said with a squeeze of her arm
"I will I promise" she said with a laugh.
She watched him walk off to the waiting SUV in the parking lot.
Jordan grabbed her hips pulling her toward him
"You better call me too" he said as he leaned in to kiss her again
"I will" she said with a sigh after the soft kiss
She watched him walk off to the SUV and climb in.
When she closed the door Steph sighed as  tears welled in her eyes again.
As Jordan got into the SUV he reached in his jeans pocket , fishing out the small silver S that he had taken off the night stand. He sighed to himself.
I hope this doesn't make me a freak
Jordan  said to himself as he kissed it and slid in beside Chad.

The tears kept falling after Steph  laid her head on the uncomfortable hotel pillow. What was she going to do? She had cheated on her husband with Jordan Knight. Essentially she had committed the ultimate sin by fulfilling her greatest fantasy. She lay there looking at the ceiling as the tears trailed from her eyes and through her hair as the waves of emotions surged through her.
She didn't know what was going to happen, how can someone ever be prepared for something like this? Should  I even call him? Probably not, he was just saying that for good form, how could he ever be interested in someone like me ?
Steph reached up smacking herself on the head.
What the fuck was she thinking, she was married, and she shouldn't even be worried if he was into her or not. She should really be concerned with what she was going to tell her husband. Nothing was probably the best bet. It wasn't like she was ever going to see Jordan again, so she would just keep her mouth shut torturing herself mentally forever. Hoping to go back to sleep she covered herself up with the ratty comforter and reached to turn off the lamp. She didn't even notice her necklace was gone.
Jordan sprinted across the runway to the waiting plane. Every bone is his body seemed to be aching from the lack of sleep and he had tonight to do it all again he thought with mock enthusiasm. When they got seated and buckled in Chad gave him an odd look.
"Man you look like shit, didn't you sleep?"
