gone.
    He pushed her onto the bed breaking their kiss. She was breathing heavy, her eyes filled with many emotions, but the one that rang out to him, fear. “I’m sorry, beautiful,” he whispered caressing her cheek, holding his body above hers.
    “I wasn’t any good?” she said draping her arm over her eyes.
    “Beautiful,” he said taking hold of her arm to remove it from her face. “That was the best kiss of my life.” He kissed her cheeks and then stared at her lips again.
    “Really?” she questioned. He smiled pressing his lips against hers again. He let some of his weight fall onto her.
    He raised hers arms above her head holding them in one hand. His other hand began traveling down the side of her body. She squirmed under his touch. Jordan was gone, she owned him. He broke their kiss again, staring deep into her eyes.
    “Wow,” she panted. He smiled, wow was right.
    “Jordan, I can’t, not yet” she choked out.
    “I know, beautiful,” he answered rolling off her. “I hope I didn’t push you too hard.” He knew they shouldn’t, not yet. Her mind hadn’t caught up with her heart.
    She shook her head. “Can I stay tonight?”
    “Of course you can.” She crawled under the covers and Jordan followed.
    “I’ll take care of you,” he whispered. Pulling her back against his chest, he kissed her head. “I’m not going anywhere, no matter what.” He thought he heard her sigh, but her arm draped around his and her breathing evened out. He held her for a bit and watched her sleep. Just as he was about to doze his phone vibrated, he glanced at it on the nightstand. ‘Meredith Calling’. He sighed in frustration and gently slipped away from Bethany to answer it.

    She didn’t know how long she had been asleep, but when she woke she knew she was alone. “Leave me alone! Call your damn daughter!” She heard his voice boom. She got up and cautiously pushed her way out of the bedroom. “No, of course not.” His voice quieted down. The second she entered the living room he turned towards her giving her a sad smile. “I’m looking for my heart, Meredith.” he said before hanging up.
    “I woke up, you were gone,” she said softly.
    “Sorry about that, beautiful, she called right after you fell asleep,” he answered walking towards her.
    “You didn’t ignore it.” He shook his head.
    “I couldn’t anymore, Tai is.” She nodded.
    “You told her you were looking for your heart.” He nodded taking her face in his hands.
    “Not looking anymore, but she doesn’t need to know that. She wants me with Tai for now.” Bethany frowned. “Don’t frown, beautiful, when Tai’s ready to talk with her, she’ll understand.”
    “Why isn’t Tai talking to her?” Jordan pursed his lips, and his brows furrowed.
    “Mistakes, beautiful.” he whispered before placing a light kiss against her mouth. It didn’t go further. He pulled back and she couldn’t help but smile at him. He smiled back.
    “Come on back to bed,” he said pulling her behind him.
    “I can go back to my room now.” He shook his head.
    “No. I want you near me.” She nodded and let him lead her back into his bedroom.

Jordan
    He was in love just a couple months in Aishan and he was certain of it. He was getting ready for work when she tapped on his door. He smiled, “Come in, beautiful.”
    She pushed through the door and stopped when she saw he was shirtless and in the process of zipping up his jeans.
    “Oh damn, I’m sorry.” She blushed and Jordan laughed.
    “Beautiful, if I didn’t want you to see, I wouldn’t have invited you in,” he said crossing his arms as her mouth dropped open.
    “So you wanted to torture me?” she chuckled moving towards him.
    “Whatever helps, beautiful,” he said grabbing her hand tugging her forward.
    She rolled her eyes, “You’re impossible.”
    “And you’re beautiful,” he breathed against her mouth. He could feel the shiver run through her body.
    She stepped away,
