A string of low moans escapes my parted lips when Jordy begins trailing sloppy wet kisses down my neck. Her knee is pressed against my hot wet core as my nails dig into the skin on the back of her neck.

"Grind against me," her raspy voice orders causing me to immediately move my hips in a rhythmic motion as my wet core drags up and down her knee. Sparks shoot throughout my body as I continue grinding my clit against her soft skin, while her warm lips keep moving against my neck. When one of her hands grips my breast and begins rubbing my hardened nipple, a loud whimper bubbles in my throat.

"Jordyn," I breathe out as my nails dig deeper into her neck, "Please..." I trail off as my back curves into her warm body.

Jordy disconnects her lips from my neck as her eyes meet mine, "Please what?"

"Please fuck me," I pant.

Jordy's swollen lips twitch up into a smirk before she swiftly enters two fingers into my wetness. A loud gasp mixed with a moan escapes my lips as her fingers begin moving inside of me, easily sending me closer to the edge. Tingles build at my core as the wave of pleasure begins to quickly approach me.

"Brielle do not cum until I say so," her sharp voice snaps me away from my blissful state.

Well, she's definitely still irritated, and now she's going to push me to the edge—quite literally.

A frustrated whine leaves my lips, "Jord—"

"You heard me, it's not up for discussion," she purposefully speeds up her pace causing shivers to roll down my spine.

I whimper as I cling to her warm body for support while I try to fight off my approaching orgasm. My hips unconsciously roll into her touch when her thumb begins rubbing circles around my swollen clit, making it even harder for me to push off the pleasure. What really forces my body to clench harshly is when her fingers curl perfectly at my g-spot.

"Fuck," I pant out as my body heat rises along with the temperature of the room that's filled with my moans and the sound of Jordy's fingers moving in and out of my wet core.

"Jesus, you're so wet," Jordy whispered under her breath, "How close are you baby?"

"So-so close—fuck Jordyn I don't think I can last much longer,"

Jordy pulls her fingers completely out of me, which causes me to suck in a sharp breath. I furrow my brows as I stare up at her, watching her suck her fingers clean.

"Why did you stop?" I ask as I try to catch my breath.

Jordy raises a brow, "Because of the stunt you just pulled,"

I narrow my eyes at her, "You just... edged me?" I ask with irritation growing in my tone, "What the fuck,"

Jordy smirks, "Irritated?"

I roll my eyes, "Well of course I'm fucking irritated—I'm also sexually frustrated now,"

"Now you can feel how irritated I felt when you decided to pull that little prank," she retorts, which easily makes me even madder.

"Fuck you,"

"You wish,"

"This is so unfair," I huff as I stand from the bed.

Jordy tilts her head, "Actually, it seems pretty fair to me. I evened the playing field,"

"Whatever I'm going to take a shower," I push past her as irritation builds within me. It was a fucking prank—all of this was unnecessary.

A small gasp leaves my lips when Jordy grabs the front of my neck and guides me to stand in front of her. I stare up into her intimidating eyes as she towers over my small naked body.

"Don't be mad over something you caused Elle," her raspy voice declares.

I narrow my eyes at her in challenge which easily causes her grip around my neck to tighten.

"Do you really want to do this right now?" she tilts her head as a small amused smirk grows on her plump lips.

I cross my arms over my chest, "I don't know, do I?"

"Trust me, you don't—now go take a shower, and leave the attitude in there," she lets go of my neck before walking out of the room.

I let out an irritated huff before heading into the attached bathroom and turning on the shower to the hottest level. Steam gathers in the bathroom as I head into the bedroom to pick out some clothes. Once I have my pajamas gathered, I head back into the steamy bathroom before entering the large glass shower. A content sigh escapes my lips as the water cascades down my body, causing goosebumps to rise onto my skin. I bask in the hot comforting water as I allow all of my sexual frustration to wash away before exiting down the drain.

After washing my hair with peony shampoo and conditioner and washing my body in citrus body wash, I exit the shower and dry off my relaxed damp body. I wrap my long dark curls into one of the white towels provided before coating my body in the thick peony lotion. I pull on the large grey t-shirt—that may or may not be Jordy's—before pulling on furry black shorts. I release my hair from the white towel before brushing out my long curls. I run leave-in conditioner through my soft strands of brown hair and brush it out even more. After I finish with my hair, I do my skincare routine and apply a light coat of lip balm.

Feeling refreshed, I head upstairs—missing Jordy's presence and feeling slightly bad about the prank I pulled on her. While it was funny, I might've taken it too far. I make it to the living area on the third floor where Nova, Eva, and Luca are sprawled out on the sectional couches placed in front of the large burning fireplace, while Journee and Sebastian cook in the massive kitchen with Jordy seated at the island.

Journee smiles as she tosses the salad, "I guess we didn't get into too much trouble," she raises a brow.

I roll my eyes playfully before walking to stand behind Jordy, I allow my hands to softly wrap around her body as I rest my head in the crook of her neck. She leans back further into me as she nuzzles in closer to my touch.

"You smell good," she murmurs as she places a soft kiss on my cheek.

I smile at her statement, but then I remember the apology I felt like I owed her, "I'm sorry by the way... for the prank," I whisper as I squeeze her tighter to me, allowing her deep scent to surround me blissfully.

Jordy hums, "Don't be baby—it's fine, it was just a prank, and I'll also be making up for what I caused earlier,"

I sigh contently as I lean even deeper into her warm body, which is now covered by a grey sweatshirt and matching sweatpants.

"See why can't I get an apology like that?" Sebastian asks as he stirs the pasta in the large pot.

Journee rolls her eyes with a small smile, "What did you cause earlier Jordyn?" she asks in a teasing manner.

Jordy purses her lip as I bury my face further into her neck to hide the small blush coating my face.

"Probably something nasty," Eva calls out jokingly.

Luca chuckles, "Please let's change this topic,"

"I vouch for that," Nova adds before rising from the large sectional couch, "Also you left your phone up here Bri," she walks over to me to hand me my phone.

"Yeah it's been going off for the past hour," Journee adds as I take the phone with furrowed brows.

I tilt my head as I look down at the phone, "It has?" I asked as I skimmed through the missing calls pertaining to my mom.

I hum in confusion before pressing one of the missed calls to call her back. Everyone stays silent in their own little world as the phone rings patiently. Jordy's hazel eyes stare up at me as I stand beside her while she rests her arm around my waist. Within five rings, my mom picks up the phone.

"Brielle," her voice floods through the phone speakers which easily causes my heart to drop.

Hesitantly I answer, "Yes?"

"I... uh don't know how to say this," she breathes out with a nervous laugh, which causes my head to tilt.

"Just say it, mom" I urge her as my heart pumps harshly in my chest, my tense tone quickly causes everyone's eyes to land on me. Out of instinct, Jordy pulls me down to sit on her warm lap as her hands glide under her grey shirt that I'm wearing.

My mom sucks in a deep breath, "Rowan... she's here and she wants to speak to you," she informed me, "I told her she should leave since I knew you wouldn't want to talk to her, but she insisted she had to speak with you,"

My mom's voice grows muffled and echoey as I process the words she just said. For the first time, Jordy's presence isn't enough to comfort me right now—no, not when the one person who left me and caused tremendous trauma, comes back. Seconds after processing the news, questions flood through my head. Why is she back? Why now? What's so important? How do I even go about this situation? Fuck.

"Brielle? Honey are you still there?"

I let out a shaky breath, "Yeah—yeah, um I'm going to have to call you back," I breathed out quickly before promptly hanging up the phone and dropping it on the marbled counters.

"What's going on?" Journee asked while Eva and Luca both rise from the couch to join us in the kitchen.

Nova tilts her head, "Bri?"

I rise from Jordy's lap, which allows me to see the confused look displaying on her face. How do I casually announce that my ex is back? I don't care that Rowan is back, trust me, it's far from that. It's just... when someone causes you so much pain and trauma it's hard to not react this way.

"What did your mom say?" Eva asks her voice laced with concern. Luca stands stuck in place while Sebastian leans his back against the stove with his arms crossed. Meanwhile, I just can't seem to get the words to leave my mouth.

Jordy stands up from her chair, "Just breathe Elle," she softly rubs up and down my covered spine, which earns a hesitant nod from me. However, I feel guilty. I feel so fucking guilty for even reacting this way... The last thing I want Jordy to think is that Rowan still holds a place in my heart when in reality there's no room left with the space Jordy's occupying. But we've barely grazed the topic of exes—the last time we really had to handle a situation relating to one was Jordy's ex, who seemed to only need a supportive friend.

Jordy's eyes analyze my appearance before she asks, "What happened?"

Finally, I force the words that were building up in my throat to finally leave my lips, "My... my ex is waiting back at my house, to speak to me," I breathe out anxiously.

Jordy's brows shoot up as she blinks a few times, "I'm sorry... what?" her voice grows low as her hand promptly stops rubbing up and down my back.
