“Oh, Michelle,” he grunts as I finally grace him with a little kiss. Just a tiny one at his tip, but I make sure to dart my tongue out to set the flames blazing. “Fucking hell, Michelle, you have no idea what you’re doing to me right now.”

I kiss some more, up and down his length, every so often darting out my tongue to lick over him. As always, he tastes fuckingdelicious. Masculine, sweet, salty, like the man I want to spend the rest of my life with. As much as I continually want to tease him, I need to taste more. I yearn to have him deep within my lips, fucking my throat, so I part my lips and take him all the way in.

“Oh, fuck,” Jordan groans as his thighs stiffen with bliss. I’m pretty sure his toes are curling already. “Oh, my God, Michelle.”

I bob my head up and down, swirling my tongue around him as I do, delighting in every scrap of him that I can taste. He moans and grunts, and there are times when he calls out my name over and over again, which only causes more of a burning between my thighs. He might have already sated me, but it isn’t enough. It’s never enough with Jordan. He basically turns me into an animal. No matter what he gives me, I always need so much more, and that’s the same right here.

“I need you,” I gasp as I yank my mouth away from him. Jordan is bleary-eyed and clearly shocked, which makes me feel bad. He was probably close to the edge then, and I fucked things up, but I can’t help myself. I need him right now. “Fuck me, Jordan.”

Thankfully, he’s a well-trained man who doesn’t need to be asked twice. He positions me facing up against the tree so I can splay my palms over it and use it as something to grip onto if I need to while he stands behind me and shoves my panties to one side once more so I can feel him teasing my entrance. He wants me, but he loves driving me insane first.

I slam back against him, taking him all the way inside, and straight away, I find myself yelling with pleasure all over again. Each thrust is more powerful and overwhelming than the last one, which has us both screaming out with bliss in moments. My knees knock together, and it’s damn near impossible tokeep myself up this time around, the orgasm is so intense, but somehow, I just about manage it and I’m quite convinced it might have something to do with that special L word floating around today.

He loves me, I tell myself excitedly as we crash to the grass in a heap, spent and exhausted but happy too. Jordan Miller loves me and I love him too. Once upon a time, he pretended to be my husband. One day, he might be for real…

“It really is pretty beautiful here, isn’t it?” Jordan muses once he gets his breath back to talk. “I would love to live here.”

I turn to face him, relishing in cuddling up beside him and knowing that he’s mine. “What about your life in the city, though?”

“Well, I don’t exactly have a home there anymore, do I?” he teases, even though he knows I hate that he went that far for me. It makes me nervous to know that he gave up so much. “And I already told you I wouldn’t do the job if I had someone I loved…”

I pull my head up to stare at him because Ireallyneed to know what he means here. “So, what are you saying?”

He shrugs one shoulder. “I’m saying we can do whatever you want to from here. We can go and be wherever you want after all of this is over. You probably don’t want to be back there with all of those bad memories, anyway, so why don’t we start again somewhere? Build a new life together where it can just be me and you, and no one will know where to look for us?”

I have to admit that the idea of hiding away somewhere in America is all too appealing for me. Even with Alexander and the others gone, I’ll never know if it’s really over until I’m somewhere I can feel safe. Jordan is so wonderful that he’swilling to come with me. Of course he is since he’s the best person I’ve ever met in my life.

“So, we’re going to have an adventure?” I ask him excitedly. “Me and you against the world?”

“I love the sound of that, don’t you? Who knows what will happen? But we can guarantee that it’s going to be better than what we’ve been through before. Without anyone after us, we can live out whatever dream we want.”

Well, now my brain is spinning with excitement and ideas are coming to me hard and fast. How perfect does that sound? It’s even better than the American dream which I came here to chase. It’s everything to me.

JORDAN

Three Months Later…

Ring, ring… Ring, ring… Ring, ring…

It’s been such a long time since my old work cellphone rang that I almost don’t recognize it when it blasts through my brand-new home. I’ve been keeping the battery charged for obvious reasons, because not all the loose ends are tied up yet, but I wasn’t expecting to hear from anyone today. It makes me a little anxious, actually, because I don’t know what to expect.

“Hi, Max.” I cough awkwardly, trying to clear my throat, but I’m sure he knows the nerves are there. “How are you?”

“I’m good, Jordan,” he replies in a tone so warm and friendly it allows me to relax just a little bit. “Things are busy here, as always. There is always so much going on, you know how it is. But it’s good. How are you and Michelle?”

I can’t believe how well he took our being together. I really thought that I was in for a real shit show, but it didn’t happen.Aside from the fact that I promised Michelle I wouldn’t do the work anymore, Max is the boss I would work for forever.

“We’re good. Michelle is at work at the moment. She loves the office job she has now, so she’s doing well.”

She’s made so many friends at her new place, more than she did during her one day at the previous office with Sally, and she’s excelling in her work. I’ve never seen Michelle so happy. She adores our small-town home, too. We get the best of both worlds, the countryside but surrounded by people too. We aren’t in a place as remote as our safehouse. It’s perfect.

“Good, I’m glad to hear it. And your job is good too? I bet it’s a change, security for a finance company.”

“It’s not as exciting, I’ll admit that.” I laugh. “But it’s much less life-threatening. I haven’t been shot yet.”

“Well, that’s always good. It’s nice to hear you’re both in a good place, that’s for sure. But there is something I want to talk to you about, which I guess you’ve already picked up on by now. We located Michelle’s brother at last.”
