“It’s so pretty out here. I was just thinking about how much things have changed for me in a matter of months.”
“I brought you here to unwind and reset. Hopefully, you will feel like a new woman when we leave here.”
“I already feel better than I have in a long time.”
“Well after you get back from the spa, you’ll feel even better.”
“We’re going to a spa, JoJo?” she cooed, turning to face me.
“You’re going to a spa. I’ll be here waiting for you to get back.”
“So, you’re not going with me? I thought we came here to spend time together.”
“It’s for you, Harper. I’m going to make dinner while you’re out.”
She burst out laughing. “Now, I know you’re lying.”
“OK, you got me there, but I am going to make sure dinner is ready by the time you get back. We’re not leaving this house again after you get back.”
The devious smile that curved her full lips made me bite down on my bottom lip. If she didn’t have anywhere to be in the next few minutes, I would bend her over the balcony and show her why there was no neighbors for miles.
“Come inside so you can put on something warm before you go.”
“It’s kinda chilly out here, but it’s nice.”
“Be that as it may, I don’t need you getting sick on me. I’ll keep you warm while you’re here, but while you’re out, I would prefer if you wore a coat.”
“Yes, doctor.” Her response had a smile curving my lips.
“That’s what I like to hear. Your ride will be here in twenty minutes,” I said, kissing her hands before turning to head back in the house. I needed her out of here as soon as possible. The chef I hired was scheduled to arrive soon. I wanted the night to be perfect for our girl.
There wassomething quietly majestic about the mountains. Being here made me feel so serene it was like I was floating among the clouds. Instead of being in the sky, I was in the back seat of a luxury car after spending the last few hours getting a full body shampoo, massage, and a facial. Someone even braided my hair into a crown to keep from getting any products in my hair.
Once I was done, they gave me a sexy white dress and surprisingly comfortable heels to change into. They made sure to let me know the dress was compliments of my always thoughtful man. I couldn’t wait to get back to the cabin to give Jordy a proper thank you for making sure I had a perfect day.
Trees went on for miles as we wound up the side of a mountain, then suddenly, the house appeared. I could alreadyfeel Jordy’s energy as we turned into the driveway. I expected my ears to pop since we were so high up, but so far, they hadn’t. As the car rolled to a stop, I stuck my phone in my purse before climbing out of the car.
I hoped that JoJo had ordered dinner by now, because I was starving. They had light refreshments at the spa, but I had saved my appetite for dinner. I couldn’t wait to spend the rest of the evening drinking and enjoying the view. I didn’t realize just how much I needed some sort of getaway until now. Jordy was the perfect person to spend it with.
When I walked into the cabin, the air shifted. JoJo was moving around the living room doing something, but he froze in place when he spotted me. His breathing caught so slightly that I almost missed it. That did something to me. Heat crawled up my neck as he eyed me hungrily. Other than the sharp rise and fall of his chest, neither of us moved a muscle.
JoJo had changed into a pair of pants with a large houndstooth print that shouldn’t have worked but made him look like a model, paired with a black button-down. He had his glasses back on, which wet my panties on sight. It was obvious why I knew I had to stay away from him in the past. Once I was in his orbit, there was no way I could resist him.
“You like?” I finally asked.
“Yes, ma’am.” Jordy nodded as he carefully crossed the room. I was pleased that he didn’t immediately crowd me. He came close but didn’t reach out to touch me. Craving his warmth, I moved closer and fisted his shirt.
“You always smell so good, JoJo.”
“You always taste so good,” he said as he dipped his head and crashed his lips into mine.
I snaked my hands under his shirt until they rested on his chest. I loved the feel of his body under my fingertips. WhenI flattened my hands, I could feel his heart thudding. Was he nervous?
“Every single time I see you, I’m amazed at how you keep getting more beautiful”
He always knew how to make me blush. “JoJo.”
“Move in with me, Harper. I think it will be good for you and Cameron.”
