Abby shook her head, alarm creasing her face. “No,” she said. “If anything, the absolute opposite.” She paused. “I was just thinking this moment is so perfect, and you’re so perfect.”

Jordan let out a bark of laughter. She was far from perfect. “I’ll remind you of this moment when you find out the truth about me.”

Abby laughed again. “Keep up the facade as long as you can.” She brought her gaze back to Jordan. “But right now, you are. At least, you make me feel so much. It’s kinda scary.”

Jordan brought Abby’s fingers to her mouth and kissed them. “I know this is all new, but we can navigate it together. Rest assured, the next six weeks will not be as fraught as the past six.”

“Promise?”

“Cross my heart.” Jordan did just that. “You’re not scared about being with a woman?”

Abby smiled, shaking her head. “That’s the least of my worries. You can’t help who you fall in love with.”

Jordan’s heart boomed. Abby loved her. It would take a while to get used to. “I love that you love me.”

Abby squeezed her bum. “You sound like a bad pop song.”

“I don’t care.” Jordan kissed Abby’s lips again. “Just to check, one more time. This isn’t a one-night stand? This is going to happen again?”

Abby grinned. “Hell, yes. Way sooner than you might imagine.”

Chapter 33

Jordan woke up the next morning, her body aching in places she forgot she could ache. Even her calf muscles were sore. She smiled as she recalled the night before. Abby had given her a full-body work out, so she wasn’t surprised about the aches. In fact, as she wriggled in the bed, she revelled in them. They’d been a long time coming.

Unlike either of them.

She glanced left, where Abby’s eyes were still closed, her breathing regular. Her beauty made Jordan still.

She’d taken a chance yesterday. The biggest chance she’d ever taken in her life. The whole way driving with Karen, she’d questioned herself. Was she doing the right thing? Was her whole life about to unravel before her eyes? But every time she’d asked, she’d come up with the same answer. She had to try. She had to see if Abby felt the same way. If she crashed and burned, so be it.

But she hadn’t. She was lying in a posh hotel bed with the woman she loved.

That didn’t even feel that scary to say anymore. Go figure. The relationship dodger had only gone and fallen in love. She was never going to hear the end of it from Karen.

As if sensing she was being watched, Abby murmured, before opening one eye, then another. When she saw Jordan, her face cracked into a smile. She rolled into her.
