Till Dark

Jordan thought of Andy standing outside her door with his shirt off wearing the navy Dockers he had worn the night before. His feet would most certainly be bare. She tried to imagine what his feet would look like. They would have to be as cultured as he, with long toes and a moderately wide foot. Thoughts about his chest came next. Was it bare or did he have hair on it? Jordan could not tell by the shirts she had seen him in because, they all came too high up and he always wore an undershirt underneath. Just the thought of touching Andy's chest was enough to get her hot all over. She was really enjoying this and now she understood why guys did it all the time. It was as if she could really see him standing in front of her with his clothes casually tossed aside. He is very handsome she thought but then she thought of Cody back home and decided what she didn't need was another casual romance. She had already tried to see other people and it just didn't work for her. The whole dating scene had changed since she and her husband had gone out. Every time she had tried to have a casual relationship with someone in the past, it always seemed to turn out wrong. Most of the time they told her that she was frigid and cold. Jordan had just accepted the fact that no one could replace her husband and she didn't want anyone to. Sighing softly to herself she slowly stood up and grabbed a towel to dry herself off. That's enough Jordan you have got to get your head together that's why you're here, not to find a casual romance with some local hottie. Pushing all her thoughts aside she finished toweling off. She slipped on her robe and opened the bathroom door cautiously. Andy had left the room and shut the door behind him. With relief Jordan walked over to the closet to find something to wear.

After a few moments of searching through the few nice outfits she had brought she settled on a navy blue linen shorts set. She slipped a pair of matching sandals on her delicate feet. She was almost finished when she heard a knock at the bedroom door. "Jordan, are you almost ready?' "Yes I'll be out in few minutes." "Okay. I've called Mrs. Sparks and she has already started preparing us something." "Great I'm starving." Jordan realized that she really was hungry. It must have been the fact that she had such a great meal the evening before. She turned to look at her reflection in the mirror. Her black eye really stuck out so she grabbed the few make-up accessories that she had brought with her and went to work. Sweeping her long curly mane up in a clip to reveal her slender neck, she checked her reflection in the mirror one last time before walking out the door. Andy was seated on the couch with his feet propped on the coffee table watching television. He glanced up briefly when he saw her returning his gaze only momentarily to the screen before looking at her again. "You look great." He breathed. "Thank you. I had a really hard time covering this black eye." He stood and walked over to her. A smile touched her lips as he leaned down to lightly kiss her lips. The kiss was soft and tender on her lips and she longed for him to continue. She closed her eyes for a long moment reveling in the warmth a kiss could bring. It had been years since she had felt anything so wonderful. This man was bringing out feelings that she never remembered having with Darien or maybe she had just forgotten them. She enjoyed having these feelings even though they scared her and she was not sure how long they would last. I won't think about how long this will last I'll just be satisfied with the experience. "What are you thinking about?" Andy's smile made her heart skip a beat. "Oh I don't know maybe I smell Mrs. Sparks brunch from here." They both laughed. He took her hand and placed it in the crook of his arm and began leading her to the door. "Shall we go then?" Nodding vigorously Jordan smiled up at him.
