you finally got home and started cooking
you and jordan stood shoulder to shoulder in the kitchen, ingredients scattered across the counter.
a box of penne, some garlic, heavy cream, tomato paste, parmesan.
and a recipe pulled up on your phone that neither of you had looked at in the last ten minutes.
“i’m just saying,” you said, pointing the wooden spoon at him, “you’re chopping the garlic way too aggressively.”
he looked up from the cutting board.
he let out a quiet laugh.
“you talk to vegetables often?”
“only when they’re being mistreated.”
you bumped his shoulder as you walked past him to grab the olive oil.
“for the next thirty minutes it’s ours.”
he stepped aside and shook his head, smiling to himself while you poured the oil into the pan.
“did you just cut yourself?”
he held up his finger and you stared at him.
“you’re unbelievable jordan”
for some reason him saying that gave you butterflies
by the time the sauce started simmering, the whole kitchen smelled like garlic, parmesan, and vodka sauce.
you stirred the pasta while he grated more cheese over the pan.
“that’s already an unhealthy amount.”
you plated everything, carrying your bowls to the island instead of the dining table.
this was the kind of dinner that somehow tasted better because you’d made it together.
after a few bites, he looked over.
you tried to hide your grin.
the rest of dinner disappeared into easy conversation. you shared stories from college, bonded over old memories and helping jordan plan new videos.
after cleaning up the kitchen together, you stretched and glanced toward the stairs.
“does that mean you’re going to bed.” jordan said a little disappointed
“does that make you upset?”
“well then goodnight jordan.”
you headed upstairs, changed into a hoodie, and collapsed onto your bed.
you were asleep almost immediately.
a few hours into your sleep, you heard knocks that echoed through your room.
you frowned, still half asleep.
the door opened just enough for him to peek in.
he leaned against the doorframe.
“i was gonna watch a movie.”
“i figured i’d ask if you wanted to join before i started it.”
you couldn’t help smiling.
“you interrupted my sleep to ask me to watch a movie?”
“when you say it out loud, it sounds worse.”
you looked at him for a second before giggling softly.
“i guess you do like hanging out with me, huh”
“no no, give me like five minutes.”
the corner of his mouth lifted into a small smile.
he disappeared back down the hallway while you flopped back onto your pillow for exactly three more seconds before getting up.
somehow, sleep didn’t sound nearly as good anymore.
all you could think about was how stupidly sweet jordan could be without even realizing it.
when you walked downstairs, the microwave beeped.
jordan was pouring popcorn into a giant bowl.
he tossed you the bowl, and together you walked into the living room.
instead of walking around the couch
you planted your hands on the back and jumped over it.
“you woke me up at one in the morning.”
the movie barely lasted ten minutes before neither of you were paying attention.
your knees kept brushing.
you both reached into the popcorn bowl at the same time more than once.
every single time your fingers bumped, one of you pulled away just a little too fast.
the room was quiet except for rain tapping against the windows and whatever dialogue was playing on the tv that neither of you were listening to.
then jordan said something that made your heart stop
“…can i tell you something?”
his voice was quieter than before.
“…i’ve been trying not to.”
your eyebrows pinched together.
he stared at the movie instead of you.
everything inside you stopped.
he let out a slow breath.
“i’ve been trying not to like you for a long time.”
the rain suddenly sounded louder.
“i thought it’d go away…turns out i was wrong.”
he finally looked at you.
“every time i tell myself you’re just liam’s little sister…”
“…you go and prove me wrong.”
your heart was pounding so loudly you were convinced he could hear it.
you wanted to say something.
you’ve always made me nervous.
you’re the reason i came downstairs tonight.
your throat tightened and your eyes started watering.
not because you were upset.
but because it was too much all at once.
“you don’t have to say anything.”
he nodded almost immediately.
you stood up “…i think i’m gonna go to bed.”
you couldn’t even look at him.
you walked upstairs before you could say something you’d regret.
the door clicked shut behind you.
“why did he have to say that?”
because you wanted him to.
because you’d wanted him to for years.
you dropped onto your bed.
“if liam finds out i’m literally dead…”
you buried your face in your pillow.
opened them again over and over.
your mind refused to be quiet.
all you could see was jordan’s face, the way he’d looked terrified saying it.
the way he’d apologized before you’d even rejected him.
you threw the blanket off, climbed out of bed, and quietly made your way downstairs.
you weren’t exactly sure what you were going to say.
you just knew you couldn’t let him think your silence meant no.
you walked downstairs and slipped out onto the back porch, the screen door clicking softly behind you. The air was cool against your bare legs, carrying that fresh, rain-soaked smell that always seemed to linger after summer storms.
Jordan was already outside.
He leaned against the old wooden railing like he’d been there forever, hoodie sleeves pushed up to his elbows, one hand tucked into his pocket while the other held a cigarette between his fingers.
The orange glow flared every few seconds before fading back into the dark.
His hair was a mess, falling into his eyes, and for a second you thought he hadn’t noticed you.
“Thought you’d be asleep.”
The silence that settled between you wasn’t awkward.
It was the kind that felt too full, like there were a hundred things sitting just beneath the surface that neither of you was brave enough to say.
You rested your forearms against the railing beside him, looking out into the dark, the only thing illuminating his face was the city lights.
“i’m sorry,” he said quietly.
“putting all of that on you.”
“i shouldn’t have said anything.”
you stared out into the backyard.
“…i wasn’t expecting it.”
“and then all these old feelings came back.”
“i had the biggest crush on you.”
“you were my older brother’s best friend. you were always around. you’d tease me constantly, and i hated you for it.”
a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
“you definitely didn’t hate me.”
“that’s what made it worse.”
he looked down, shaking his head with a quiet laugh.
“because i would’ve stopped teasing you if i’d known.”
for the first time since his confession, the tension eased- just a little.
“i spent years convincing myself i’d gotten over you,” you admitted.
“…you said everything i’ve wanted to hear since i was fifteen.”
his expression softened completely.
you looked down at your hands.
“because it scared me.” you said before taking the cigarette out of his hand, taking a drag.
“i wasn’t running because i don’t like you.”
you finally looked up at him.
you paused and took a heavy sigh
he took one careful step closer.
“can i ask you something?”
“is it alright if i kiss you?”
you smiled before answering.
“…yeah.” the air between you crackled as he cupped your face, his thumb tracing your lower lip
he kissed you softly and your lips came together in perfect harmony like this was always meant to be.
when you finally let go, the only sound was rain dripping from the roof.
“also, since when do you smoke?” he said concerned, smiling
“bad time to ask but..since college started i’ve just been stressed”
“well, it’s not a good habit, and your brother would be pissed seeing this.”
“liam would be a lot more mad about something else” you said winking, handing him the cigarette
he took one last drag and crushed it into the ashtray.
he sat down on the chairs and looked up at you.
“i’ve been thinking about your pretty face, leah”
“yeah, you uhm..wanna go inside?” he said nervously
“why..what’re you trying to do” you said very clearly understanding
he stood up and picked you up bridal style
“jordannn no!!” you said laughing
he brought you upstairs and layed you on the bed.
in one swift motion his mouth claimed yours in a deep, hungry kiss.
"i’ve been waiting for this all night," he breathed against your mouth, your tongues sliding together with building urgency, his hands roaming down to grip your waist and pull you flush against him.
the hard press of his cock evident through his jeans.
your fingers tangled in his hair, tasting the faint bitterness of smoke on his breath while heat pooled low in your belly.
you were throbbing with each slow grind of his hips against yours, emotions swirling in a dizzying rush of need and affection.
jordan's kisses grew more demanding, nipping at your bottom lip before delving deeper, his palm sliding under your shirt to cup your breast, thumb circling your hardening nipple as you arched into the touch.
soft moans escaped you as his other hand dipped lower, fingers teasing the edge of your panties, brushing against the damp heat of your pussy with unhurried strokes that sent sparks through your veins.
"i want you so bad," he whispered, voice thick with emotion.
“yeah, baby you do?” you said taking your underwear off
“wait, i wanna try something” said jordan grabbing his chains off of the floor slowly before securing your wrists above your head attaching you to the headboard.
you laughed “i thought you said they were for working out”
“they were, but now they’re being put to good use”
the metal clinked softly as you tested the restraint. jordan climbed over you settling between your spread thighs in a deep missionary position.
"that’s a good girl," he praised, leaning down to kiss you, one hand wrapped lightly around your throat.
“jordan please” you whimpered out
he applied just enough pressure to make you gasp into the kiss, his thumb stroking your pulse point.
"you're so fucking perfect like this, all chained up and ready for me."
jordan pushed his cock inside you in one smooth thrust, burying himself to the hilt.
you moaned, your body arching beneath him as he started a steady rhythm, his hips were grinding against your clit with every stroke.
he kept you pinned in missionary, chest to chest, his lips never far from yours kissing your neck, jaw, whispering more praise between thrusts.
"that's it, take every inch like the good girl you are. you feel incredible wrapped around me."
he tightened his grip on your throat just a bit, enough to heighten every sensation while he thrusted into you harder, the chains rattling with each movement.
your submissive whimpers only kept him going, your legs wrapping around his waist to pull him deeper.
jordan maintained the intense eye contact and constant kisses, praising you constantly as he drove you both toward the edge.
"you're mine now, leah. so beautiful when you're like this." he released your throat briefly to let you catch your breath, his free hand sliding down to rub your clit in time with his thrusts.
jordan's thrusts grew more urgent, his cock driving deep into you with every powerful stroke.
"that's my girl," he praised between heated kisses, his lips claiming yours again and again.
"you take me so well, baby. so fucking sexy." he said inbetween groans
your body was trembling as the pleasure built.
jordan fucked you harder, grinding against you with each thrust until you cried out, your orgasm came crashing over you.
he followed right after, burying himself into the crook of your neck, his groans mixing with her whimpers.
"you did so well, baby," he murmured, pressing soft kisses to your forehead and cheeks.
his fingers stroked through your hair as he held you close.
he rolled over to look at you
"how are you feeling? heed some water or a blanket?" he said rubbing your face with his thumb
as he was gone you grabbed a hoodie from the closet.
“here lay down so i can get you cleaned up” he said coming back from the bathroom with a towel
he cleaned you up, kissed your forehead and headed to the kitchen
a minute later, he came back carrying two glasses of water and a bag of gummy bears he’d found in the kitchen.
“all we have are gummy bears,” he said, dropping back onto the bed.
you laughed. “very nurturing of you.”
he handed you the water first, waiting until you had taken a few sips before opening the candy and dumping half the bag into your lap.
you and jordan sat in comfortable silence for a moment.
“…liam is literally going to kill us.”
jordan froze with a gummy bear halfway to his mouth.
“okay, first of all,” he said, “he’s definitely killing me. you’re getting a disappointed speech. i’m getting buried in the backyard.”
“he specifically said, ‘don’t let anything happen while i’m gone.’”
jordan rubbed a hand over his face.
“…yeah. that one’s gonna be hard to explain.”
you buried your face in the hoodie sleeve, laughing despite herself.
“he’s never gonna let me live this down.”
jordan sighed dramatically.
after a minute, jordan reached over and intertwined his fingers with yours
“for what it’s worth,” he said softly, “i don’t regret being here with you.”
you looked down at his hands before squeezing his.
outside the bedroom, the house stayed perfectly silent.
you both knew that silence probably wouldn’t last once liam came home.
