Jordan's POV:

Nick and I wasted no time when it came to planning our weekend getaway. We didn't want to be too far away from home, and wanted to go somewhere quaint, and romantic. After looking through countless travel brochures, Cape Cod seemed to be the best fit. Nick and I were very excited to walk the beautiful beaches, and explore the towns of Massachusetts together. However, leaving Catherine was more of a challenge than anticipated.

Nick's parents arrived right on time, and Catherine clung to them immediately. That gave me a sense of relief, but I was going to miss that little girl terribly. We said our goodbyes, and Nick packed up our car and we set off for our mini-vacation.

It was a beautiful day to be traveling, we had the top down on our car, and there was a lovely breeze as we were making our way up the east coast. The first hour of our ride was relatively silent, due to me missing our little girl. Catherine has been practically attached to me since the day she was born, and now not having her around was quite strange for me.

As I am looking at the lush surroundings of our car ride, Nick's hand makes its way to my leg. I look over at him, and try my best to give him a smile, even though Catherine is the only thing on my mind right now.

"Jordan, darling, I know you miss her. But Catherine is going to be just fine, we'll only be gone for three days."

This man could read me like a book. I grab his hand and bring it to my lips. "I know honey, but I feel so bad for leaving her behind. I just hope that she'll remember me when we get back."

Nick laughed and replied; "Darling, that baby adores you, and I have no doubt in my mind that she'll remember you. Now, let's leave New York behind us for a while, and just focus on you and I... Okay?"

I smiled and nodded at him, and for the rest of our journey, we remained hand in hand, very excited to begin our romantic getaway.

After about four more hours in our car, we were more than happy to reach a very cute little hotel right on the beach. Without hesitation, we unload our bags, and check in, and make our way into our room.

Nick and I make our way up the stairs, and I have the key to our room in my hand. As I am about to unlock the door, Nick taps on my shoulder. I turn around, and all of a sudden, he lifts me off the ground, with my legs dangling from his other arm, and carries me into our room.

Through a barrel of laughter, he finally puts me down onto the little love seat by our bed.

"I thought that since I didn't do that on our wedding day, I would do it now just for the hell of it."

This man never seized to put a smile on my face. He leaned down, and placed a long awaited kiss on my lips. I wrapped my arms around his neck, and pulled him even closer. He lowered himself onto me, and began rekindling our love right away.

Nick placed what seemed like a thousand kisses on my lips, and makes his way to my neck. I alway loved when he kissed me there, it was the most subtle place, however the sheer passion and intensity it caused made it all the more special.

I couldn't help but moan in delight; "Oh, Nicky, yes darling..."

A devilish grin appeared on his face; "Darling, I have been waiting for this all day."

I chuckled slightly, and then began to finagle with the buttons of his crisp white shirt. He always wore the softest, most lovely shirts. I loved them whether they were on him, or off him. His shirt quickly fell to the ground, exposing his undershirt, which accentuated his tanned skin and defined muscle. There was no man on earth that was more attractive than Nick Carraway.

Without further hesitation from Nick, my clothes seemed to disappear off of me, and end up being a heap on the floor. His pants are suddenly on the floor as well, and he places himself back on top of me.

Our kisses turn from soft, delicate ones, to kisses of fiery passion. His hands travel all over my body, which make me squeal with delight.

"Oh Nick, yes darling, right there..." I softly moaned in his ear.

His kisses grow more ravenous on my neck, and his hands make there way up from my waist to my chest. He kneads on my delicate flesh, and my moans become more and more evident. Then, his hand slides down below my waist, making me cry out in delight.

I immediately cover my mouth, embarrassed by all of the noise I was making. Nick chuckled, and placed a fleeting kiss on my lips.

He then whispered in my ear; "Darling don't you worry, I want to hear every sound that you make."

I blush as I look at him, and he immediately starts kissing me with passion yet again. He wraps his hand around my waist, and lifts me. I wrapped my legs around him, and his hands around my rear, and places me onto the bed.

Nick and I went on like that for what seemed like moments, but turned out to be hours. After our third round of lovemaking, Nick rolls off of me, both of us are out of breath from the exercise we had just put ourselves through. Just as we typically did after making love, Nick laid on his back, and I rolled over onto my side to cuddle up closely to him. Our sweat slicked skin couldn't seem to be away from each other. I maneuver my head so that I am right in the crook of his neck, so we are as close as possible. I placed soft kisses on his jaw, and his arms wrap tightly around me.

"Jordan...."

"Hmmmmm...." I reply in between kisses.

"I am so happy that we decided to have a little getaway."

I smiled up at him; "Me too, darling."

We laid together in post-cotial bliss for about a half an hour, before our comfortable silence was broken by Nick's hungry stomach. We both broke out into hysterics.

"I take it you're hungry, Nicky?" I said in between spurts of laughter.

"Yes darling, I am. You really made me build up an appetite!" He said with a wink.

I blushed and rolled my eyes, and got out of bed to call for room service. Before getting my robe on, Nick cheekily swatted my behind. I turn around and give him a snide look with a smirk, and he chuckles to himself.

We refueled our energy to go sightseeing. However, we didn't quite make it out the door, as Nick and I were ready to be reacquainted again for round four. I suppose walking the beaches and exploring would have to wait until tomorrow.
