Jordyn squeezed his hand, and Steve turned his head to look at her. She was happy, and so was he, so long as she was with him, he would be happy no matter what. He raised her hand to his lips and pressed a kiss to her knuckles.
Laurie nodded at him. “Definitely the right answer.”
Chapter Twenty-Three
Following dinner,the evening passed pleasantly, with promises from Jordyn and Steve to come back for another family dinner soon. Steve had never felt more welcome anywhere than during his time in the Summers' home, and he was on cloud nine as they drove back to Jordyn’s apartment. He smiled, looking over at her. The windows were down, and a cool breeze blew her long dark hair over her shoulders. She was beautiful in the twilight that was descending. He reached out to touch her cheek, rubbing his thumb against her cheek as she drove along.
Jordyn leaned into his hand with a contented sigh. “So, you had a good time at dinner?”
“Yeah, doll, a real good time.”
She laughed and looked out the window. “My mom said that if I show up without you for dinner, she’s going to disown me.”
“I like your mom. She’s a brilliant woman. Very wise,” Steve said. “You should listen to her always.”
“I plan on it,” Jordyn told him as she pulled into the parking lot in front of her apartment. She eyed his bike where it sat a few spots away and turned to him. “Can you stay tonight?”
He leaned into her and kissed her. “Just try and send me away,” he murmured, lips grazing hers.
Jordyn smiled against his mouth and nipped his bottom lip. Steve’s breath caught at the feel of her hand trailing up his thigh.
“Baby…” Steve murmured before kissing his way up her chin. “Gonna need you to do one thing for me as fast as you can.”
“Yeah, Stevie?" Jordyn gave him a questioning look and unbuckled her seatbelt. “What is it?”
Steve gave her one last look, hands unbuckling his seat belt with a jerk. He threw his door open and all but leaped from the car, ducking his head back inside to order, “Get your pretty ass upstairs.”
“Sir, yes, sir,” she said, giving him a mock salute and a wink. She slid from the car a bit slower than Steve liked. He crossed his arms and watched her amble to where he impatiently waited for her at the base of the stairs.
“You’re killing me,” he groaned, shaking his head.
“Patience is a virtue,” Jordyn replied, sweetly.
“So I’ve heard. Never was one for it, though,” he replied and took a quick step towards her.
“What are you doing?” Jordyn asked at his change in direction, but rather than answer, Steve kept moving. He grabbed her around her waist and tossed her over his shoulder, causing her to yelp at the sudden change in position.
“Shh, doll, people are probably settling in for the night,” he said, giving her ass a light swat. “This is a respectable place, you know.” He was walking up the stairs by now, hands roaming her thighs and up the skirt of her dress as he went.
“I’m going to kill you,” Jordyn hissed. “People are looking at us!” She flung out a hand pointing at an apartment window they were passing. Steve turned his head and shrugged when he saw someone peek out at them from behind a curtain. He didn’t really care who saw him manhandling his girl, so he kept walking, hands still exploring as they pleased.
“Really? I seem to remember you liking this position,” Steve teased, moving his face into her hip where he nipped her through the thin material of her dress. He could practically feel her blushing at the reminder of their first night together. Steve squeezed her ass and kept climbing the stairs. She squirmed on his shoulder, rubbing her thighs together, and Steve had to take a deep breath to stop from sprinting up the last flight of stairs to her apartment. It was hard for his mind to not replay the heated memories of their first night together.
When Jordyn made a frustrated sound, he chuckled and kissed the side of her thigh. “Almost there, sweetheart,” he told her, knowingly.
“You’re absolutely sinful and such a tease,” she complained, but she still reached down to grab his ass through his slacks.
Steve laughed at the move. “I dunno about me, but the things I plan to do to you tonight are most definitely sinful,” he remarked, and she let out another groan of frustration.
“Listen here,” Jordyn began, but Steve stopped her with a gentle squeeze to the back of her leg.
“Hold on, doll. We aren’t alone,” he told her, stopping short when he stepped onto her floor and saw that they had company waiting for them at her door.
Again.
“Company?” Jordyn asked, but Steve was already talking to the group in front of him.
“What the fuck are you doing here?” Steve growled.
