PART IV

Jordan pulled away from the airport as Bly’s car phone rang. ‘Should I pick it up and answer it?’ Jordan asked herself and decided she should because Bly might have forgotten something in the car.

"Aah...hello?" Jordan answered hesitantly.

"I miss you already." Bly replied huskily promptly putting a wide smile on Jordan’s face.

"Bly...I miss you too." Jordan answered with excitement as she tried to navigate the vehicle while talking on the phone and decided it was best to pull over and stop the car.

"Email me. I have my laptop with me...okay? My screen name is Ghost13." Bly replied sounding as if she was rushed.

"Ghost?" Jordan asked teasingly.

"I’ll explain another time because I have to board. I love you Jordan."

"I love you too Bly." Jordan answered as she hung up the phone and pulled the car back on the road. Jordan thought about how much she loved to hear those words from Bly. She already missed Bly and wasn’t sure how she was going to get through the next 3 days without Bly’s arms wrapped around her.

Bly took her seat in first class and ordered a Dr.Pepper for a quick kick to wake her up. She flipped her laptop on and fired off an email to Jordan as she retrieved her addy from her business card. She sent an electronic ‘missing you’ greeting card and placed an order for three dozen red and white roses to be delivered to Jordan before the announcement by the crew for all electronic devices to be turned off in preparation for their flight.

Bly was greeted by cold weather in Boston as she checked into her hotel at Copley Square before heading out to purchase a warm jacket. She exited the hotel lobby and took the escalator up to the next floor were the mall was located.

After quickly finding a jacket she headed back to her room to make arrangements for Jordan’s flight on Thursday and to prepare for her seminar the next morning.

Bly went through the motions during the conference and never thought that Thursday would ever get there. It seemed like the days were longer and longer from anticipation of Jordan’s arrival. Bly waited anxiously at Jordan’s gate for her plane’s arrival. ‘Bly...you act like it’s the first time you’ve seen her you’re so nervous’ she thought to herself as she looked down the gangway as passenger’s began to trickle off the plane.

Bly caught site of Jordan and smiled as she noticed Jordan wearing a short, black miniskirt with a silk red and black printed shirt and medium heeled shoes. Bly’s heart skipped a beat as she looked at her beautiful blond haired lover. She was breathless as she watched Jordan tuck her blonde hair behind one ear as she scanned the crowd for Bly.

Jordan caught a glimpse of Bly through the crowd and made her way towards her tall, dark lover. She noted how sexy Bly looked dressed in a black mock turtleneck, black jeans with black boots and an ankle length black leather jacket. Jordan looked at her lover standing before her with her arms hidden behind her back flashing a sexy smile and her heart raced as she ran up to Bly.

Jordan threw her arms around Bly’s neck who wrapped her up in a hug as they kissed each other passionately. ‘I didn’t think she could look any sexier but she does every day.’ Jordan thought to her herself as she kissed her lover. "I missed you so much." Jordan whispered as she held her tight and didn’t want to let her go.

"I missed you too baby. I didn’t think today would ever get here." Bly answered with a kiss to her cheek and lowered her back to the ground. "Jordan...you’re going to freeze, oh, here this is for you." Bly smiled as she held a white rose out in front of her.

"Oh, thank you honey. That’s so sweet and I loved my roses you sent me. I intend to thank you properly later for those." Jordan smiled seductively as she poked Bly’s ribs and kissed her.

"Hmm...I look forward to it." Bly answered seductively as she glanced down at her lover. "Do you want to wear my jacket so, you don’t freeze?" Bly asked with concern.

"I like that jacket just were it is and besides, I’m from Michigan and I’m used to the cold weather." Jordan answered with a smile.

"Jordan...it’s cold out there." Bly answered in a low voice and a raised eyebrow.

"Don’t worry. I brought a jacket just in case. It’s in my suitcase." Jordan answered with a smile. "But thanks for the concern."

"Jordan ...you look incredible." Bly replied with a smile and excitement, as she looked Jordan over.

"Thank you. I wanted to look good for you my love." Jordan answered softly as she kissed Bly again. "You look very sexy by the way." Jordan replied with a smile as she held Bly’s hand and headed off towards baggage claim. "Oh, I didn’t realize you could get a free first class ticket with frequent flyer miles...miss." Jordan teased as she poked Bly’s stomach.

"I told you I have a lot of miles and besides, I wanted you to be comfortable and to be treated special." Bly explained as she turned to Jordan. "You can see the receipt that indicates the miles that I redeemed if you don’t believe me." Bly answered with a mischievous smile as she stepped on the escalator and turned to face Jordan who was one step higher than Bly.

"No...I don’t need to see it because I believe you baby. Hey, I’m actually your height now." Jordan laughed as she kissed and hugged Bly.

"We sure are giving the whole airport an eye full aren’t we?" Bly answered with a sly grin.

"I don’t care because I missed you and I wanted to show you just how much I did besides, we always have to watch them when they kiss and hug each other. So, turn about is fair play." Jordan answered as she kissed Bly.

"Ooh, you’re sassy and I love it." Bly answered with a laugh through her kiss as Jordan wrapped her arms around Bly’s neck to deepen the kiss.

"I’m also very horny." Jordan whispered through her kiss.

Bly was stunned by Jordan’s friskiness and stumbled as she came to the end of the escalator. She had to catch herself before falling while Jordan laughed at her.

"Very funny Jordan!" Bly answered with a laugh as Jordan stepped off the escalator with Bly approaching her. "I intend to get you back for that one later." Bly said with a mischievous grin and leaned her shoulder into Jordan’s as they walked toward the baggage claim carousel.

"I’m counting on it." Jordan replied back with a chuckle.

Bly looked down at Jordan with a laugh, "You are bad." Bly answered as they stopped and waited for her bags to come out.

The light illuminated and the buzzer indicated the luggage was on its way as Bly stood behind Jordan waiting for her luggage.

"You smell so delicious Jordan." Bly whispered in her ear as she glanced around to see if anyone else was watching her and pressed her body against Jordan’s back.

"Wait until you taste me and see how delicious I am." Jordan answered seductively as she looked up over her shoulder at her dark, gorgeous lover.

Bly’s heart and arousal mounted. "Aah...which bag is yours?" she stammered as she moved to the belt to pull the bag off quickly.

Jordan chuckled and pointed out her bag. Bly hoisted it onto her back and turned to Jordan. "Did you pack your dresser in here or what?" Bly asked from the weight of her luggage.

"No...just my collection of vibrators." Jordan answered as she looked away from Bly concealing her smile.

"JORDAN!" Bly exclaimed with embarrassment as she moved up next to her. "Do you really have that in here?"

"Well...honey...I missed you and I had to stay occupied." Jordan answered keeping a serious look on her face. ‘She’s going to kill me when she finds out I’m teasing her. But it’s fun.’ Jordan thought to herself trying to contain her laugh.

‘Okay...Jordan...you want to play this little game I’ll play too.’ Bly laughed to herself. "Why didn’t you just pick up another woman to be with like I did?" Bly asked with seriousness as she walked up ahead of Jordan concealing her smile.

Jordan’s heart skipped a beat and she became over heated at the thought that Bly would have done that. "Bly...you didn’t?" Jordan asked nervously as they stepped out into the brisk weather sending a chill through Jordan.

Bly handed Jordan’s bag to the limo driver who stood waiting with the door open at the curb. Bly stood by the open door as the driver put Jordan’s bags in the trunk and Bly looked at Jordan who stood looking at her waiting for an answer.

"What? Would that bother you?" Bly asked still continuing her teasing and thought that she needed to stop because she could see Jordan was becoming upset.

"Of course, it would bother me Bly!" Jordan answered with a raised voice as she slowly and unsurely approached Bly.

"Well...good then we agree that it would bother the both of us so, come here and get that sad look off your face." Bly answered with a smile as she pulled Jordan into her arms and looked down at her. "I was teasing Jordan."

"Bly!" Jordan answered as she hit her in the shoulder getting a laugh out of Bly.

"I told you I would get you back. I can’t get over that you believed me Jordan." Bly answered with a laugh.

"You were so serious. I am going to get you back for this one Bly." Jordan answered with a mischievous grin as she pushed Bly onto her back on the limo seat and crawled on top of her planting a sensuous kiss across her lips.

Bly moved farther in on the seat continuing their kiss as the limo driver closed the door and climbed into the driver’s seat. Bly slid her hands down Jordan’s back to her ass and gently squeezed her tight muscles as Jordan’s tongue explored every inch of Bly’s mouth.

Jordan broke their kiss and looked down into her lover’s piercing blue eyes. "I've missed you so much Bly." Jordan whispered as she pushed Bly’s raven hair off her face.

Bly scanned Jordan’s face with her eyes and flashed a sexy smile. "I missed you too baby." Bly answered as she rubbed her hands up and down Jordan’s back softly.

"I just realized...we are in a limo!"

"We are? How did we get in here!" Bly teased as she looked around.

"You are very bad Bly VanDewark!" Jordan answered as she bit Bly’s lip before sucking her it into her mouth.

"That’s what you love about me." Bly laughed.

"I love everything about you Bly." Jordan replied seductively as she leaned down and sank her teeth into Bly’s neck for a love bite.

"Ooh, Jordan. I love it when you do that." Bly moaned in obvious pleasure.

Bly reached for the remote and pushed the button for the stereo, which began to play "Take my breath away" by Berlin.

"Very sexy song." Jordan whispered through her love bite.

Bly moved Jordan’s hair back as she held her head in her hands and turned her head to capture her lips for a long, moist kiss. Jordan slid her hands to Bly’s coat and opened it to slide it off her shoulders as Bly moved her arms for her to pull them out of the sleeves.

Jordan untucked Bly’s shirt and lifted it up revealing exposed breasts as a smile crept across her face. "Hmmm...I like that...no bra." Jordan whispered as she leaned down and gently captured her breast in her mouth.

"I thought I would surprise you babe." Bly whispered as her heart raced with Jordan’s mouth pressed against her breast heightening her excitement.

"I love it when you surprise me. Just like I love it when you taste me Bly." Jordan whispered sending a rush of warmth and excitement throughout Bly.

"Oh, Jordan...you know just how to excite me baby." Bly whispered as she unbuttoned Jordan’s blouse and leaned up to nibble on her erect nipple through her bra.

Bly slipped Jordan’s shirt off of her as she moved to her other breast to give it the attention it begged for from her mouth. Bly ran her hands up Jordan’s back softly and unhooked her bra as she moved her kiss to Jordan’s neck. Bly pressed her tongue against her skin and sucked it into her mouth for a sensual kiss as she slipped the straps of Jordan’s bra off her shoulders throwing the bra on the floor.

Bly’s hands ran up Jordan’s back as her kiss trailed southward to capture an exposed breast in her mouth. Jordan leaned up on her hands so Bly had easier access to her breast and ran her tongue along the contours of Bly’s ear as she kissed it gently. Bly could hear and feel Jordan’s erratic breathing, which aroused her even more. She moved to her eagerly awaiting other breast and drew the hard nipple into her mouth as she circled her tongue around it.

"Bly...that feels incredible." Jordan moaned in her ear as her tongue moved down her neck and back up to her ear.

Bly moved her hands down to Jordan’s skirt and unhooked it as she slid it down over her hips. Bly released Jordan’s breast and pulled Jordan up so she could reach the skirt and pushed it all the way off of her as she nibbled on her toned abdomen. Bly slid her black lace underwear off and ran her hands up on her naked backside gently squeezing the firmness as she lay back on the seat.

"You look so good Jordan." Bly whispered with a smile as Jordan leaned down and kissed her passionately. Bly could feel Jordan’s body heat rise as her heart raced faster.

Jordan ran her hands under Bly’s shirt and slipped it over her head to expose her naked, muscular upper body. Bly’s arousal was undeniable and she wanted to take Jordan quickly but felt Jordan deserved to be made love to slowly and gently.

"I need your tongue inside of me Bly." Jordan whispered through her labored breathing, inflaming Bly’s already ignited fire.

"Oh, Jordan...I can’t wait to taste you." Bly answered as Jordan moved her sex up on Bly’s abdomen rubbing her slick center against Bly. "You are so wet baby. Bring that wetness up here." Bly whispered seductively and eagerly. She couldn’t wait to taste her lover and slide her tongue inside of her.

Jordan’s heart and passion raced as she moved her center up to Bly’s mouth and could feel her breath against her sex sending a warmth throughout her. Jordan slowly lowered her sex down on Bly’s exposed and awaiting tongue, which slid inside of her wet opening. Jordan gasped breathless as she felt Bly’s tongue enter her.

"Oh, Bly...I’ve waited so long to feel that baby." Jordan replied as she drew in a deep breath and put her hands on the side of the cardoor to brace herself.

Bly ran her hands up Jordan’s sensual curves to the front and caressed her breasts lightly pinching her nipples as her tongue moved out of the warm, moist opening to explore her engorged nub.

"Oh, Bly!" Jordan gasped as she slowly rocked her pelvis forward and backward to Bly’s rhythmic movements with her tongue against her sex.

Bly’s heart pounded as her wetness between her legs mounted and she wanted nothing more than to devour Jordan’s sex. She loved how Jordan tasted and how her sex felt in her mouth. Jordan moved her pelvis faster as Bly moved her hands back down to Jordan’s hips to guide them.

"Jordan...you taste so good." Bly moaned as she moved her tongue back inside the moist opening. Bly curled her tongue up on the edges and slid it in and out of Jordan’s opening quicker as Jordan’s hips matched her speed.

"Bly...what are you doing to me!" Jordan moaned loudly through her labored breathing. ‘I have never had such an attentive lover who makes me feel as wonderful as Bly does.’ Jordan thought to herself as she moved her pelvis faster, her breathing becoming more labored.

Bly moved her tongue back up to Jordan’s swollen nub and sucked it into her mouth as she circled her tongue on the sensitive area sending Jordan’s head back in pleasure. Jordan’s hips rocked faster and Bly could feel her muscles tightening and knew her treasure would soon follow.

"I think you have something for me Jordan and I don’t want to wait any longer for it baby." Bly whispered as she pressed her tongue against her hard clit and fervently worked her tongue across it to receive her treat.

"Oh, Bly...baby...it feels so good." Jordan moaned deeply as she rocked her hips faster and faster as she felt her passion mounting and was close to release. "Bly...Bly...baby." Jordan moaned louder as Bly continued to work her tongue across her swollen nub.

"That’s it baby... let me have it." Bly whispered as she moved her tongue into Jordan’s moist opening just as she released her orgasm. "Hmmm." Bly moaned as she accepted everything Jordan had to offer her.

"AAH...oh, oh, Bly!" Jordan shouted when she let go and leaned her head against her hands, which continued to brace her against the door. She tried to catch her breath as Bly continued to receive her offerings. Bly moved her tongue in and out of Jordan’s opening as she contracted and relaxed around Bly’s tongue. Bly loved to feel Jordan’s opening throb against her tongue and waited until it stopped to withdraw. Bly moved her mouth to Jordan’s clit and sucked it into her mouth for a kiss before Jordan slid back down onto Bly.

Jordan snuggled her head against Bly’s neck as Bly wrapped her arms around Jordan tightly. "I love you Jordan." Bly whispered in her ear as Jordan tried to collect her breath and calm her racing heart.

Jordan had tears in her eyes and loved how Bly made her feel, so incredibly loved and special. "Bly...I love you so much." Jordan answered as she kissed Bly’s neck.

Jordan slid her hand down to Bly’s pants and unbuckled her belt followed by her button and zipper on her jeans. Jordan ran her tongue along her neck up to her mouth seeking entry, which was quickly granted. She loved tasting herself on Bly’s lips as she kissed her passionately.

Jordan slowly slid her hand down Bly’s stomach past her open jeans and her underwear as she felt her curls in her hand. Bly grabbed her hand to stop her and Jordan broke her kiss and looked at Bly confused.

Bly looked into confused green eyes. "I’m sorry honey...but I can’t for a couple of more days." Bly answered as she took Jordan’s hand and brought it up to her mouth for a kiss never breaking her stare. "I’ll have to please you for the next couple of days. Would you mind?" Bly asked with a smile.

"If you must please only me then I gotta do what I gotta do. It will be tough but someone has to do it." Jordan answered with a laugh, which was shared by Bly. Bly sat up and leaned against the back of the limo as Jordan sat straddled on her lap. "We may have to find a way around that little visitor of yours because I want you to feel as wonderful as I do!" Jordan answered with a smile as she leaned forward and kissed Bly.

"How do you know that I didn’t already feel that?" Bly whispered through her kiss as she put her hands on Jordan’s firm backside and pulled her closer to deepen the kiss.

"I love you Bly." Jordan answered with a smile as she looked down into Bly’s blue eyes as Bly leaned her head back against the seat.

"I’m glad you do because I love you too. I take it you didn’t want to see the sights in Boston?" Bly answered with a sexy smile.

"We are in Boston? I totally lost myself in you and nothing else mattered." Jordan answered with a smile as she captured Bly’s lips for a tender, loving kiss.

Jordan broke her kiss and looked into Bly’s beautiful blue eyes and smiled lovingly. Bly smiled back and wondered what Jordan was up to. "What are you doing Jordan?"

"I was just wondering if you knew how much I appreciated the first class air travel and the limo ride. Thank you it was very sweet of you to do all of that for me."

"Well...I know now and you deserve to be treated special Jordan." Bly answered with a smile as she slowly ran her hands up and down Jordan’s arms before leaning in for a kiss.

"You don’t have to treat me special Bly. All I want is your love, but thank you very much for treating me that way." Jordan answered with a smile as she ran her fingers through Bly’s hair.

"Well...babe you have all of my love and hopefully you can get used to being treated special because that’s how I want it." Bly answered with a smile as she kissed Jordan.

"I love you." Jordan whispered as she hugged Bly tightly.

Bly smiled and loved to hear Jordan say that. "I love you too babe. We need to get dressed because our hotel is close." Bly replied as she glanced out the windows at her surroundings.

"Okay...if I must." Jordan answered with a laugh as she kissed Bly again and they quickly began to dress.

They both finished dressing and Bly put her coat back on as she looked out the window to see how close they were to the hotel. "Just in time Jordan." Bly replied with a mischievous grin on her face as she looked back at her lover.

"Where are we staying?" Jordan asked as she moved closer to Bly and leaned on her to look out the window.

"See that big building right over there with the walkway going across the street?" Bly asked as she looked out the window and pointed to their destination.

"Is that it?" Jordan asked in total amazement at the very tall building connected by a walkway across the street to another large building.

"That’s it baby." Bly answered with a smile as she glanced over her shoulder to see Jordan’s look of amazement. She loved to see that look on her face when Jordan experienced new things in her life which made Bly feel good knowing she could provide that for Jordan.

"This is so great Bly...thanks!" Jordan answered with excitement as she kissed Bly’s cheek before leaning back in the seat.

Bly leaned forward to reach the remote to turn off the stereo and Jordan reached under her coat collar and pulled her black hair out which was tucked inside the coat. "Thanks for the help." Bly answered with a smile as she sat back next to Jordan and held her hand.

The butterflies in Jordan’s stomach took off in flight as they always did when Bly touched her. The limo pulled up in front of the building and the driver opened the door for Bly and Jordan to exit. Bly climbed out and stood in front of the door and held her hand out to help Jordan.

"Chivalry is not dead yet." Jordan replied with a laugh as she exited the limo.

"Depends on the person Jordan." Bly answered with a wink as she led Jordan by the hand to the door and held it open for her. "You will like where we are staying because there is a mall in here."

"Are you kidding me?" Jordan asked with amazement as she entered the door and checked the place out.

"Nope...they even have a Cheers store to buy merchandise from the show in case you can’t get to the bar."

"Can we go to the bar and check it out? I loved that show and it would be neat to see the place."

"It’s already on my itinerary." Bly answered with a smile as they made their way up the escalator to the hotel lobby.

"This place is gorgeous Bly. What’s the name of it?" Jordan asked in awe as she looked around the large building.

"It’s called Copley Square Hotel and if you get lost somehow just take the "T" to Copley Square and you can't miss it."

"The "T"?" Jordan asked confused.

"Sorry...it’s the subway system and they also have trolley cars for transportation because you definitely don’t want to drive in this city! It’s impossible." Bly answered with a laugh.

"I’ll have to remember that, but it would be best if you just stuck by my side." Jordan answered with a smile. "So, what else is on your itinerary?" she asked looking up at Bly.

"Spending as much time with you as possible." Bly answered with a smile as she slipped her hand on Jordan’s waist to help steady her as they stepped off the escalator.

The pair made their way into the elevator and waited for the door to close before engulfing one another with hugs and kisses. The bell on the elevator chimed indicating they arrived at their destination as Jordan broke her kiss and hug nervously waiting for the door to open.

Bly laughed and looked down at her. "What are you doing?"

"Somebody might see us Bly and I don’t want anyone to feel uncomfortable."

"Jordan...it’s the penthouse suite and why are you worried someone will feel uncomfortable? You didn’t mind it at the airport." Bly teased as she led Jordan off the elevator into the spacious penthouse suite.

"Well...that was different because there might be some of your colleague’s here."

"Very true but I really don’t care Jordan. Hey, close your eyes." Bly answered with excitement.

"What for?" Jordan asked confused.

"I have a surprise for you." Bly answered as she pulled Jordan into her arms and looked down into her green eyes.

"Bly...you don’t have to keep giving me surprises."

"I know but I couldn’t resist." Bly answered with a smile as she brushed Jordan’s blond hair off her face.

Bly led Jordan by the hand into the spacious penthouse suite and stopped to see if Jordan was looking. "You’re not peeking are you?" Bly teased as she checked her eyes to make sure they were shut tightly.

"Bly! I’m not peeking!" Jordan answered with a laugh and anxious to see what her surprise was going to be.

"Okay, come on then." Bly answered as she led Jordan to the middle of the suite. "Okay, open your eyes." Bly answered with excitement.

Jordan opened her eyes to a room full of white and red roses with a table set up in front of the window showing a breathtaking view of Boston. The table was set with candles and dinner. Jordan’s face lit up with excitement from Bly’s thoughtfulness and turned to face Bly.

"Bly, you are so incredibly romantic. Thank you." Jordan replied with a smile as she ran her fingers through Bly’s hair and leaned up to her tall lover for a passionate kiss to thank her for the thoughtfulness.

Bly wrapped her arms around her love and deepened the kiss. She loved how Jordan felt in her arms, especially when her lips were pressed against her own. Bly thought about how she loved to see the look of appreciation from the flowers and dinner. Her other lover’s had just expected the wine and dine treatment from her and never appreciated any of her gifts for their specialness, but rather for their worth. Jordan was not like that and Bly loved her for it.

Jordan broke their kiss breathless with a look of distress on her face. "I am so sorry." Jordan replied with regretful green eyes.

"About what?" Bly asked confused.

"I was so preoccupied with coming to see you that I totally forgot to thank you for all the flowers you sent me and especially for my life sized Scooby Doo stuffed animal!" Jordan answered with a smile at the fond memory of receiving the big, lovable stuffed animal from Bly. "I love him...he is so awesome!"

Bly smiled and was relieved that’s all that was wrong with Jordan. "I knew you would like it when I saw him in an advertisement on the Internet and I just had to get him for you." Bly answered with a big smile.

"He is sitting next to my bed and every time I looked at him it made me want you even more! Thank you." Jordan answered with a smile as she kissed and hugged Bly.

"You’re welcome. Are you hungry?"

"Bly!" Jordan replied with a questioning look.

Bly smiled. "I forgot...you’re always willing to eat." Bly answered as they both laughed.

"Did I tell you how freaking incredible you look? I really love that jacket on you too." Jordan exclaimed with a smile, as she looked her lover over.

Bly blushed and smiled. "Yes...you told me but thanks again." Bly led Jordan over to the table and held her chair out for her as Jordan sat down and Bly pushed her chair in for her. Bly leaned down and whispered. "You look freaking incredible too." which drew a smile out of Jordan as Bly softly kissed her cheek.

Bly stood up and removed her jacket before sitting down next to Jordan. Bly removed the cover on her plate which kept her food warm as her dark hair fell forward, and as she tucked one side behind her ear Jordan watched breathless. Jordan took in a deep breath when she realized she was holding it.

Bly picked up her utensils and noticed Jordan watching her and glanced up. "What? Did I spill something on me already?" Bly asked confused as she looked at her clothes.

Jordan stared at her and smiled as she put her hand on Bly’s arm to get her attention. "No...I was just admiring your beauty and thinking about how much I love it when you tuck your hair behind your ear. It is so sexy and it sends the butterflies in my stomach crazy." Jordan answered as she moved Bly’s hand to her mouth and placed a kiss on it.

Bly looked at Jordan lovingly and smiled through her blush. "I’m glad I’m not the only one that has those unruly butterflies. They do the same thing to me every time I look at you or hear your sexy voice." Bly answered as she leaned over to Jordan and sealed her statement with a kiss. "I love you." Bly whispered as she leaned back up and smiled.

"I love you too baby." Jordan answered with a smile as she pulled the cover off her plate to see what Bly had ordered her for dinner. "How did you know baked Ziti is one of my favorites?" Jordan asked with a smile as she glanced over at Bly.

"Well...I took a good guess considering you’re Italian." Bly answered with a laugh. "Is it any good?"

Jordan swallowed her mouthful. "Very good, but mine’s better." Jordan answered with a laugh.

"I keep hearing about how great of a cook you are, but I don’t see anything to prove it." Bly teased with a sexy smile.

"Okay, taste this and I promise to make you my baked Ziti and you can tell me which one is better." Jordan answered with a smile as she held a forkful of Ziti out for Bly to taste.

Bly leaned in toward Jordan slowly as she locked blues with greens and wrapped her mouth around the fork with a seductive look and took the morsels being offered. Jordan’s look expressed how turned on she was by watching Bly and swallowed hard as she watched Bly finish chewing the Ziti. ‘How can someone be so damn sexy eating?’ Jordan asked herself watching Bly lick her lips seductively. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly. It was all she could do to stop herself from attacking Bly on the spot.

"You’re teasing me aren’t you?" Jordan asked with a raised eyebrow.

Bly flashed a mischievous grin. "Did it work?"

"Yes! You are so bad Bly." Jordan answered with a chuckle.

"I told you I would get you back." Bly teased as she popped a piece of steak in her mouth.

The pair finished dinner and both changed into more comfortable clothes. Bly sat in the window seat and peered out over the lighted city as Jordan finished in the bathroom and walked over to her.

"Hey, good looking... penny for your thoughts?" Jordan replied with a smile as she leaned against Bly.

Bly smiled as she turned to her and held out her hand. "Let me have the penny first."

Jordan pretended to search her clothes for a penny and looked back up at Bly. "Can I pay you when I get my paycheck next week?" she answered with a smile.

"I don’t know Jordan. Are you good for it? I mean, the interest alone might break you from now until then. But, seeing as how you’re so beautiful I guess I’ll let you slide this time. But, try not to keep taking advantage of my good nature." Bly teased with a sexy smile.

Jordan laughed as she wrapped her arms around the front of Bly’s shoulder and pressed her body against Bly’s back and kissed her cheek. "Would you mind if I joined you?"

"Actually, that’s what I was just thinking about how lonely I was sitting here without you in my arms." Bly answered with a smile as she glanced over her shoulder at Jordan.

"Well...let me remedy that problem then." Jordan replied as she climbed over Bly and sat in front of her. Bly wrapped her arms around Jordan and pulled her close to her body to snuggle with her. "This is heaven." Jordan replied with a satisfied smile on her face.

"Yes...it is babe." Bly whispered as she kissed Jordan on the cheek and reveled in the closeness of her lover. Bly finally found what she was looking for when she found Jordan. Bly thought about how she thought she had been in love many times before and her feelings for those women were nothing like they are for Jordan. She didn’t realize true love could be so wonderful and that’s what she felt with Jordan.

Jordan ran her hands up and down Bly’s arm as she watched the people on the streets of Boston go on about their business. "Bly, what’s that building right before us?" Jordan asked curiously as she pointed to the very large building facing them.

"That’s the John Hancock Tower and you can go to the top to check out all of Boston. They have an observatory up there."

"That’s really cool." Jordan answered with amazement as she stared at the large building before her.

"So, what’s on the itinerary for tomorrow?" Jordan asked with intrigue.

"Well...I hope you like history or I’m in big trouble." Bly answered with a laugh.

Jordan glanced up over her shoulder and smiled. "Don’t worry I love it."

"Whew! I was worried there for a minute. Well...I thought I would take you to a lot of the historical sites in Boston and we can walk the Freedom Trail, which links all the historical sites to the history of Boston. It is pretty interesting when you check out where Paul Revere made his historical ride and how they warned that the British were coming." Bly explained with awe at the historical significance of those events.

"I had no idea you were so interested in historical events like that Bly. You never cease to amaze me."

"Well...I guess we have a lot to learn about one another then. Do you like that sort of stuff as well?"

"Oh, I’m very fascinated by those events. I thought it was very interesting when I read about them in school and it excites me to know I will get to actually see those things." Jordan answered with excitement.

Bly smiled and hugged her tighter as she kissed her cheek softly. "Let’s get to bed so we can get an early start of it tomorrow." Bly replied as she moved off the window seat and helped Jordan get up.

Bly and Jordan crawled into bed and Bly removed her shirt as Jordan watched in amazement as she revealed her gorgeous body. Jordan slipped off her shorts and shirt and leaned down to kiss Bly passionately.

"Thanks again for everything tonight Bly. I really do appreciate everything." Jordan replied with a loving smile as she looked down into Bly’s blue eyes.

"I’m so glad you are here with me Jordan." Bly answered as she brushed her blond hair off her face and gazed into her beautiful green eyes. "I missed you so much that I couldn’t sleep or function correctly."

"I wondered why you looked so tired. I thought maybe you were up late checking out the babes." Jordan teased with a smile.

"Only one." Bly answered with a smile as she leaned over and picked up the picture off the nightstand. " I hope you don’t get too jealous over my girl Jordan." Bly answered with a mischievous smile as she showed her the picture.

Jordan smiled. "I have this same one of us by my bed!"

"You’re kidding." Bly answered with amazement.

"No...it’s a great picture of us together during the sunset cruise and I thought you looked especially sexy." Jordan answered as she handed the picture back to Bly with Bly putting it back in its place.

"You’re the sexy one in there baby." Bly answered with a smile as Jordan lay on her side and Bly wrapped her arms tightly around Jordan. Bly pulled Jordan in close to her body and laced her fingers around Jordan’s hand as she kissed her cheek. "Good night babe...I love you." Bly whispered in her ear.

Jordan raised Bly’s hand up and kissed it. "Night honey...I love you too." Jordan answered with a smile feeling totally loved and safe in Bly’s strong arms.

Bly woke before Jordan as usual, and took the opportunity to gaze lovingly at her lover who slept peacefully. Bly leaned up on her elbow and lightly brushed Jordan’s blond hair off her face. Jordan moved slightly to Bly’s touch and smiled through her sleep. Bly smiled and thought about how much she loved Jordan and how peaceful she looked sleeping. She hated to wake her but she couldn’t resist the urge and desire to see those beautiful green eyes look into her blues lovingly.

Bly lightly ran the back of her hand down Jordan’s arm to her side and slid her hand to the front of her toned abdomen as Jordan shifted from her touch. Bly smiled mischievously and slowly moved her hand up to Jordan’s chest and cupped a supple breast in her hand as she leaned down to whisper. "I love you Jordan." Bly replied as she kissed Jordan’s cheek softly as she gently squeezed her breast.

Jordan moaned. "Hmmm." and shifted her body closer to Bly and moved her hand on top of Bly’s which held her breast. "I love to hear you say that Bly." Jordan whispered as she cleared her throat.

"I guess I’ll just have to keep saying it then won’t I?" Bly whispered as she kissed her again. "Do you want room service for breakfast or do you want to grab something at the French bakery down in the mall?"

"We should probably get going if we are going to see all the sites huh? So, we should get something quick to eat." Jordan answered as she rolled onto her back with a smile and put her arm around Bly’s back. "Could you touch my other breast? It’s very sad that it is being neglected." Jordan asked seductively.

"My pleasure." Bly answered with a sexy smile as she moved her hand to her other breast and gently squeezed it. Bly leaned down and gave Jordan a passionate kiss to get her morning off to a good start.

Jordan smiled lovingly at Bly as she pushed Bly’s raven hair off her forehead. "I am so in love with you Bly." Jordan replied as she pulled Bly down for a soul-searing kiss.

"I’m so glad you are Jordan." Bly answered through her kiss.

Jordan broke the kiss to catch her breath and stared into Bly’s beautiful blue eyes. She didn't really want to leave the comfortable bed to go out into the brisk New England weather to go sightseeing, but she didn’t want to miss the opportunity of seeing the sites in Boston, especially with Bly as her tour guide.

"Are you taking a shower first?" Jordan asked with a smile and a wiggle of her eyebrows.

Bly chuckled knowing Jordan would use any opportunity to grab an extra minute of sleep if at all possible. "Sure...just for you, but next time you’re first." Bly answered with a smile as she gave Jordan a quick kiss and climbed out of bed. "Jeez, it’s cold in here." Bly replied with a shiver as she crossed her arms over her chest to warm herself.

"I happen to like it this way because I get to see your hard nipples sticking out." Jordan replied with a sly grin.

Bly looked down with embarrassment before moving closer to the bed. "Could you warm them for me?"

"I thought you would never ask." Jordan answered as she sat up in the bed and reached to cup Bly’s breasts as Bly jumped away from her.

"Psyche!" Bly replied with a laugh and ran to the end of the bed and grabbed the covers.

"No...Bly please don’t." Jordan pleaded with a laugh as she held the covers tightly.

"Beg me!" Bly teased mischievously.

"Please baby...it is very cold." Jordan whined and gave Bly puppy dog eyes.

"Hmmm... not good enough!" Bly laughed as she stripped the covers off the bed as Jordan squealed and lay back on the bed to warm herself. Bly slapped her ass and ran into the bathroom to take a shower.

"Payback Bly...just remember...payback!" Jordan yelled as she scrambled for the covers.

Both women showered and dressed warmly for their excursion in the chilly New England weather. "Jordan...don’t forget to bring the camera." Bly replied as she put her black leather ankle length jacket on.

"Got it darling!" Jordan answered as she threw on her fleece jacket and walked over to Bly who grabbed the hotel credit card key. "You are way too sexy! How do you expect me to function with you looking like that?" Jordan answered with a smile as she wrapped her arms around Bly’s waist.

"I guess you’ll have to struggle through the day honey." Bly answered sarcastically.

"I love it when you’re cocky." Jordan purred as she leaned up for a kiss.

"Let’s go lover girl." Bly laughed as she took Jordan’s hand and led her to the elevator.

The two made their way into the lobby and through the mall to the Au Bon Pain French bakery. The two scanned the menu and tried to decide what they wanted for breakfast.

"What are you getting Bly?" Jordan asked as she looked up at her strikingly gorgeous lover.

"I’m getting...aah...a croissant and a coffee."

"Sounds good. I’ll have the same." Jordan answered as the clerk rang up their order.

"Make that to go please." Bly informed the clerk and looked back at Jordan. "We'll...eat on the train if you don’t mind?" Bly asked as she pulled out some money to pay for the bill.

"I don’t mind eating on the train, but I do mind you paying for breakfast. I’ve got it hun!" Jordan answered with a smile as she pushed Bly’s money filled hand back to her pocket and paid for the tab.

"Thanks Jordan." Bly answered with a smile as she put her money away and grabbed their food.

Jordan received her change and turned to walk beside Bly who handed her the coffee she ordered. "Thanks, this should do two things for me. One, wake my sorry butt up and two, warm me up." Jordan answered with a laugh as did Bly. "Hmm...yummy coffee." Jordan replied after a sip of her java.

"Hey, remind me to call Jules later to check up on Ares okay?"

"Sure." Jordan answered before taking another sip of her coffee.

They both stepped out of the warm building and were greeted by a brisk breeze momentarily taking their breath away. "Whoa!" Bly replied as she regained her breath.

"Very chilly." Jordan answered as the pair headed to the stairs to the subway.

They made it to the platform of the dank, cold subway stop and waited for the train. "I figured we could start the Freedom Trail at the ...oh, damn...I forgot the name of it. Here can you hold this for me please?" Bly asked as she handed her coffee to Jordan who was glad to warm both hands with the coffee. Bly pulled out her trusty Boston sightseeing map and opened it to find their destination. "Okay...we can start at the Park Street Church which means we need to get off at the Park Street T stop." Bly answered as she searched the subway for the train map. "Great! Only 3 stops to get there and we don’t have to change from the green line." Bly answered with excitement that they wouldn’t have to spend a long time on the train as she retrieved her coffee from Jordan.

"You are quite the little tour guide aren’t you?" Jordan teased as the train pulled up to the station and was amazed that Bly knew her way around the large city.

"Your tour guide could be worse." Bly teased and leaned close to Jordan as they boarded the crowded train. "Looks like we’ll have to stand." Bly observed as she reached up for the overhead bar to steady herself as the train began to move.

Jordan couldn’t reach the overhead bar and grabbed Bly by the belt to steady herself from falling as the train pulled away from the station. Bly looked down at Jordan with a smile and wiggled her eyebrows as to where Jordan’s hand was positioned.

Bly leaned down and whispered in Jordan’s ear. "I’ve never done it on a train before." she replied with a mischievous smile as she stood back up and glanced down at Jordan.

"Oh, I have...its no big deal though." Jordan answered matter of factly, as she raised her coffee to her lips for a sip of the steaming hot Java and looked up noticing the astonished look on Bly’s face. ‘I didn’t really but it’s payback time.’ Jordan thought to herself mischievously.

"Really?" Bly asked with disbelief.

"Why? Are you jealous?" Jordan asked with a smile.

"Well...aah...no, I’m not jealous." Bly stammered nervously knowing damn well that she was jealous. She looked out the window as their stop came up. "This is our stop come on." Bly replied with slight agitation.

Jordan stepped in behind Bly and leaned up to her ear and whispered. "You’re jealous." Jordan answered with a sly smile. ‘You are so bad Jordan Milano’ she thought to herself.

Bly looked over her shoulder to Jordan. "I’m not jealous, I just don’t want to hear about it." Bly answered with agitation as she stepped off the train and headed towards the steps. Jordan had to practically run to catch up to the long strides of Bly’s.

"Bly!" Jordan replied knowing Bly was slightly irritated as she reached the street before Jordan and looked down at her map. Jordan caught up to her and stood before her. "What’s wrong with you?"

"Nothing." Bly snapped as she looked down at the map and Jordan took it from her. "Jordan...give it back." Bly answered with agitation.

"Not until you tell me what’s wrong with you." Jordan answered with agitation of her own by the way Bly was acting.

"I just don’t want to hear about your sex life with others okay?" Bly snapped before she turned away from Jordan.

"Bly...we have both had other partners before so, why does it bother you so much?"

Bly crossed her arms and looked down ashamed of herself for acting like a little kid. "I can’t stand to hear or think about someone else touching you Jordan. It bothers me." Bly answered as she looked at Jordan with sadness. Every time she thought of another's arms around her lover, she felt a blinding pain in her chest that took her breath away.

Jordan saw the pained look in her lover's eyes and moved closer to put her hand on Bly's waist. "I don’t like the thought of someone else being with you either so, let’s just keep that part of our lives to ourselves then. I’m sorry...I was teasing you when I said I had done it on the train."

"That wasn’t very funny Jordan." Bly answered still feeling slightly angry.

"Honey...I didn’t know it would bother you so much. I am so sorry. Can you forgive me?" Jordan asked with a loving smile. She never wanted to be the reason for any pain in Bly's eyes.

Bly looked at Jordan then away and back again knowing she couldn’t resist her sweet face. "Yes...I’ll forgive you." Bly answered with a slight smile and with defeat.

"I’m sorry I teased you, but I did like that you were jealous." Jordan answered with a sly grin as she rubbed Bly’s side.

"Oh, you did huh? What if I told you I was just teasing ?" Bly asked with a mischievous smile.

Jordan looked bewildered and thought she had been duped. "Bly! Were you teasing me?" she asked with a disappointed look on her face.

Bly smiled and put her arm around Jordan as they continued to walk along. "Nope...I was serious and I was very jealous." Bly answered with a laugh and pulled Jordan closer to her for a hug.

"Well...there is no need to be because I love you totally and there isn’t one other person in this world I could want more than you. Well...except that blond standing over there." Jordan teased as she pointed and received a tighter hug from Bly.

"Would you like me to introduce you?" Bly asked as they both laughed.

"Nope...I think I’ll keep you. You’re kind of cute." Jordan answered with a smile as she looked up at Bly and fed her a piece of her croissant.

"I think I’ll do the same cause you’re also kind of cute." Bly answered with a smile as she chewed her food and looked down at Jordan as they headed over to their first historical site.

"That’s a really beautiful church Bly. How old is it?" Jordan asked as she gazed upon the old church.

"Map says it was built in 1809 so, it’s safe to say it is very old." Bly answered with chuckle.

"Damn!" Jordan exclaimed in awe as she looked up past the church. "What is that place?" she asked as she pointed to the large building with a dome on top.

"That’s the Massachusetts State House and Paul Revere put the copper topping on the dome in...aah...1802." Bly answered as she checked the map for the correct date. "It’s really cool looking don’t you think?" Bly asked as she looked at the state house then back to her lover and saw the wonderment in her green eyes.

"Most definitely."

"Let’s head over to the Ben Franklin statue which was also the site of the first public school and then to the Granary Burial Ground." Bly replied as she held Jordan’s hand and led her off towards the statue.

"We’re going to a burial ground?" Jordan asked with hesitation.

"Don’t be scared honey." Bly teased as she squeezed Jordan’s hand. "It’s really neat because it’s the last resting place of the Patriots. Paul Revere, Ben Franklin, John Hancock, and Samuel Adams are all buried there."

"That’s really neat but it sounds a little creepy." Jordan answered as the pair continued their sight seeing along the Freedom Trail stopping at the said two sites before heading along to the next historical site.

"That’s the Old South Meeting House where the tea party began." Bly replied as she pointed to the building. "Oh, Jordan! You’re going to love the next stop seeing as how you’re a writer." Bly answered with excitement.

"Really?" Jordan answered with a gleam in her eye.

"Yeah, it’s the Old Corner Book Store which is one of Boston’s oldest buildings and the authors Emerson, Longfellow, Hawthorne and Harriet Beecher Stowe all gathered there regularly." Bly answered as the pair entered the bookstore.

"This is so excellent. You can just feel the historical significance of this place." Jordan answered in awe as she strolled around the bookstore. Bly smiled and enjoyed seeing the awe and obvious excitement in Jordan’s eyes as she watched her peruse the old historical bookstore.

"Oh, my god Bly!" Jordan exclaimed with excitement as Bly moved closer to her. "Look at this book! It is a leather-bound, first edition, signed copy of RW Emerson’s book!" Jordan answered in reverence as she looked at the book in the protective case.

"That’s really neat Jordan." Bly answered with a mischievous smile as she watched Jordan peer down into the case. Reluctantly, Jordan sighed and moved on to another area. Bly casually walked up to the counter, keeping an eye out for Jordan who was too busy looking at the different books to be concerned with what she was doing, and leaned on the counter to talk to the clerk. "I would like the autographed Emerson book in the case to be wrapped and delivered to my hotel room at this location." Bly informed the clerk as she wrote the hotel and room number on her business card and handed it to the clerk.

"Ma’am that book isn’t for sale." the clerk answered nervously.

"Sure it is and it’s for that beautiful blonde right there so, go get your manager and set the price. Money is no object." Bly replied sternly and was taking no for an answer. "Oh, keep it quiet because it’s a secret."

The clerk nervously exited to the back as Bly waited anxiously hoping Jordan would not catch on to what she was doing. The manager stepped out and faced Bly with a look of astonishment on her face at Bly’s request.

"Well...what’s the price?" Bly asked as she pulled her wallet out and glanced over to see where Jordan was located. She sighed a relief when she noticed her nose was stuck in a book and that she was totally engrossed in it.

"Aah...$1,250.00." the manager stammered with disbelief that she had someone who wanted to purchase the book.

"Great. Can we hurry this transaction along?" Bly asked as she threw her platinum visa card down for the purchase. The manager quickly ran the card through and handed Bly the receipt for her to sign and keep. "Make sure it is delivered right away. Here’s some money to cover the delivery charge." Bly answered as she threw a hundred-dollar bill on the counter for the manager who looked on with astonishment.

"Hello? I'm in a rush....could you just leave it at the front desk for me?" Bly replied trying to get the people moving.

Bly walked over to Jordan and glanced back at the manager who carefully pulled the book out of the case and carried it to the back to be wrapped and delivered.

"I can’t get over this place. I could spend the whole day here Bly."

"I bet you could babe but , unfortunately, we have a Freedom Trail to walk." Bly replied with a smile as she slipped her hand in Jordan’s.

Jordan sighed with disappointment. "You’re right, but could we come back if we have the time?" Jordan asked with excitement at the prospect.

"Sure." Bly answered with a smile as they left the bookstore and were greeted by a cold breeze. "Jeez, I would have thought that it would have warmed up by now." Bly commented holding Jordan closer to keep her warm.

"I like the chilly weather because then I get to snuggle with you baby." Jordan answered with a smile.

"You can snuggle with me anytime you want sexy." Bly answered as she flashed Jordan a sexy smile.

"Ooh, I like that thought. Where to now tour guide?"

"We are going to pass the site of the Boston Massacre and then head over to Faneuil Hall and market place which you will like because they have little shops to purchase things from." Bly answered with a sly grin and received a squeeze from Jordan in response.

"What makes you think I like to shop?"

"Linda gave up the goods on you and she also said that you are quite the bargain hunter."

"When did she tell you that?"

"When my family was hogging you on the dance floor at my grandparents anniversary party." Bly answered with a smile.

"Linda sure likes to give up secrets doesn’t she?" Jordan asked with a sly grin.

"Hmmm...maybe I can get her to give up some other secrets about you." Bly teased.

"You better not or I’ll cut you off!" Jordan teased with a laugh.

"Oh, no don’t do that!" Bly answered with a worried look on her face.

"Don’t worry baby. You just let secrets remain secrets and there won’t be a problem."

"You do drive a hard bargain." Bly answered with a smile as they stopped at the next two stops along the Freedom Trail.

Bly sat down as Jordan worked her bargaining skills at one of the shops in the market place at Faneuil Hall. Jordan walked up with a satisfied and happy look on her face as Bly watched her lover approach.

"Check out this great scarf I got for Linda! I’ll have you know I got a great price for it." Jordan replied with pride.

"That’s really nice honey but when will Linda wear a heavy scarf like that in Florida?" Bly asked questioningly.

"Oh, man!" Jordan exclaimed with disappointment as she slammed her hands down on her hips. "I totally didn’t even think of that!"

"Why don’t you wear it and get Linda something else."

"Do you think?" Jordan asked as she put the scarf around her neck.

"Ooh, very sexy." Bly answered seductively as she put her arm around Jordan and they headed out of the market place.

"It just so happens that I bought you something that I know will look very sexy on you!" Jordan replied with a mischievous smile as she reached into her bag.

"You did? Isn’t that sweet. What did you get me?" Bly inquired as she looked over Jordan’s shoulder for what was in the bag.

"These!" Jordan exclaimed as she pulled out a pair of black leather gloves.

"Yes! I need those to keep my cold hands warm!" Bly answered with excitement and a smile as she took them and promptly put them on. "Hey, they fit perfect. How did you know what size?"

"Bly...I think I know what size your hands are!" Jordan answered with an embarrassed grin.

It took a couple of minutes before it dawned on Bly what Jordan meant and she blushed with embarrassment. "Jordan...you are very bad, but I love it and I love my gloves thank you very much! I hope you got quite the little bargain on these." Bly answered as she held her hands up. "How do they look?"

"Very sexy as I said they would, especially with that jacket!" Jordan replied with a smile and happy that Bly liked her gift.

Bly stopped walking and put her hands on Jordan’s shoulders and leaned in to give her a passionate thank you kiss. "Thanks, my present means a lot to me." Bly whispered as she kissed her again and took Jordan’s hand in her own as they headed off to their next stop.

Jordan was happy that Bly liked the present. She had been worried that Bly wouldn’t like them, but she was taken back by her obvious enjoyment of the gift. She knew Bly was genuinely thankful, and it made her feel good.

The pair stopped at Paul Revere’s house and took the tour, which was narrated by a guide. They made their way away from the home towards their next stop. "Bly...I was totally surprised by how small his home was." Jordan answered amazed at the smallness of the home.

"Yeah...me too. I guess people get a misconception that because he was a famous Patriot that he should have a huge home, but back then they just didn’t have very big homes."

"I suppose so. Hey, what’s the next stop?"

"The Old North Church which is the oldest church and the one were they had two lanterns hanging in the steeple to warn Charlestown that the British were coming."

"I couldn’t imagine living in times like that with the threat of war in your own backyard. It must have been very scary."

"Yeah...but think of the pride those people had to stand up for their rights and to fight off the British. That is so significant." Bly answered in awe as she looked up at the steeple of the Old North Church, and imagined the lanterns burning in there. "Jordan...we forgot to go to see the Boston Tea Party ship. They do a re-enactment at certain times during the day."

"Let’s go then." Jordan answered with excitement.

"We have to walk all the way back towards the wharf , its pretty far. Wait, I have an idea...let’s go see the U.S.S. Constitution, the Bunker Hill monument, and take the bus back to see the Boston Tea Party ship."

"Sounds good to me but are we going to walk across that very long Charlestown Bridge?" Jordan asked with slight disappointment at the thought of the long walk.

"I guess not. Let’s take a taxi then." Bly answered as she turned to hail a taxi, which she was able to do rather quickly.

They both entered the cab. "Take us to the Constitution please." Bly informed the driver as she slipped her hand into Jordan’s.

"Aah...it feels good to sit and ride." Jordan answered with relief.

"Some kind of Freedom Trail walkers we are huh?" Bly asked with a laugh that was shared by Jordan.

The pair checked out the Constitution, the Bunker Hill monument and then took the cab back to check out the Boston Tea Party ship. The pair headed to the south train station to catch the red line T train. They both plopped in the seats exhausted with their bags of souvenirs and Jordan leaned her head against Bly’s shoulder.

"I am so tired Bly." Jordan replied with a yawn as she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Bly looked at Jordan and laughed that she could fall asleep anytime and any place. Bly woke Jordan before their stop to get off. "Come on babe we have to change to the green line." Bly informed Jordan as they stood up and waited by the door for the train to stop with Jordan still asleep, leaning her head against Bly’s back.

The doors opened and Bly grabbed Jordan’s hand to lead the sleepy woman to their next terminal to change trains. They hopped on the green line and sat back down to wait for their destination to arrive.

"Bly could you carry me?" Jordan asked sleepily as she leaned her head against Bly’s shoulder.

Bly laughed as she looked on lovingly at Jordan who fell back to sleep. "Unbelievable." Bly replied softly with a chuckle. She thought about how much fun she had with Jordan today. Bly couldn’t wait to be alone and hold her lover in her arms, and shower her with kisses.

Bly woke Jordan for their last stop and the pair headed out of the subway to the street and crossed to their hotel. Jordan was happy to see the familiar confines of the hotel knowing the bed was close. "Bly...you have worn me out."

"I love to do that, but in bed baby." Bly answered with a laugh. "I guess you’re too tired for dinner then huh?" Bly teased knowing Jordan would never miss a meal.

"Very funny." Jordan answered with sleepy green eyes as Bly smiled and slid her hand around her neck to pull her close to her chest while they rode the escalator. Bly kissed Jordan on the head and didn’t care who saw her. She was in love with Jordan damn it , and wanted everyone to know about it.

They stepped off the escalator in each other’s arms. "Jordan go on up to the room. I’m going to check my messages and I’ll meet you up there in a couple of minutes."

"Okay...but hurry." Jordan replied through her yawn as she entered the elevator.

Bly smiled and approached the front desk. "Was a package delivered for me earlier today? It’s the penthouse suite." Bly asked the clerk.

"Yes...here it is." the clerk informed her as he handed over the package.

Bly opened the package carefully to make sure they sent the same book from the store, satisfied that they had, Bly headed over to the elevator. ‘Jordan is going to freak when she sees this book.’ Bly thought to herself and smiled as she entered the elevator.

The elevator doors opened and Bly stepped into the room and put the packages down before finding Jordan sprawled in a prone position on the bed asleep. Bly laughed and shook her head in amazement as she took off her jacket and gloves. Slipping off her shoes, she climbed up next to Jordan.

Bly kissed Jordan on the cheek and lay next to her with her arm across her lover's back before falling asleep. Jordan awoke in a daze, unaware of what time or day it was, and felt a familiar arm on her back. She slid around on her side and cuddled up close to Bly placing soft kisses on her neck to wake her.

Bly opened a sleepy blue eye and looked at her beautiful blonde staring at her. "I could really get used to this in the mornings." Bly replied with a smile as she grabbed a hold of Jordan and pulled her on top of her to engulf her in a hug. Bly gazed into Jordan’s eyes and leaned in for a sensual kiss.

"Hmmm...I love that." Jordan purred with a smile. "Do you have any idea what time or day it is?" Jordan asked with a laugh.

"Aah...let’s see." Bly answered as she looked at her watch. "Whoa! It’s Saturday at 10am!"

"I guess we were tired! I can’t believe we slept through dinner. No wonder I’m so hungry." Jordan answered with a laugh. "What do you have planned for us today my love?" Jordan asked with a smile as she peered into Bly’s blues.

"I thought we could go to the Boston Public Garden where they have the famous swan boats, then head to Cheers, Hard Rock Cafe, Harvard Square and end up at Fenway Park to catch a Red Sox game at 4. Sound okay to you?"

"Absolutely...sounds like a lot of fun."

They both showered and headed out for their second day of sightseeing in Boston. They hit the Boston Public Garden, Cheers, Hard Rock and then made their way to Fenway Park for the Red Sox game.

"Who are the Sox playing?" Jordan asked as they stepped into the Boston Beer Works, which was crowded with Red Sox fans before the game.

"The Detroit Tigers." Bly answered with a grin.

"You sneak! You got tickets for the Tigers?"

"No, for you to see the Tigers." Bly answered with a smile. "I do hope you are a Tiger fan. I just assumed you were considering you’re from Michigan." Bly answered nervous that she might not like the Tigers.

"Oh, yeah I’m a Tiger fan." Jordan answered with excitement.

"Great. Do you want a beer? They have all kinds of imported beers here."

"Sure. I’ll try a Samuel Adams beer." Jordan answered scanning the very crowded brewery as Bly ordered two Sam Adams for them. "I guess this is where all of the Red Sox fans hang out before a game huh?"

"Oh, yeah. This place gets packed." Bly answered as she handed Jordan her beer and took a long sip of hers. "Hmmm...tasty." Bly replied as she swallowed her cold beverage.

They finished their beer and headed across the street to the stadium to see the baseball game. "I can’t believe they have New England Clam Chowder at the baseball game." Jordan exclaimed with disbelief.

"Oh, yeah that stuff is everywhere around here but it's weird the have it at a baseball game. Let’s get to our seats because the game has already started."

"Okay." Jordan answered as the pair found their seats and sat down to enjoy the game. "This stadium even exudes history Bly." Jordan replied with amazement as she scanned the stadium.

"It sure does and it was pretty cool to play here." Bly answered as she sipped her hot chocolate.

"You played here?"

"Yeah, when I played in the professional women’s baseball league. It was a dream true to play at Fenway Park where all of those famous players once played." Bly answered with a smile at the fond memory.

"That is so incredible. I am so happy for you that one of your dreams came true." Jordan answered sincerely as she smiled at Bly.

"Another one came true when I met you Jordan. It was the most important dream to me, and you made it possible." Bly answered with a loving smile as she saw the tears well in Jordan’s eyes.

"My dream to find someone to fall in love with and be happy with came true when I met you too Bly." Jordan answered with a smile wishing they were back at the hotel so, she could show Bly just how happy she was to be with Bly. Her heart was bursting with the love she felt for Bly and couldn't fully explain how her life had changed for the better. She had spent her whole life waiting and not knowing what she was waiting for, until now.

A lump formed in Bly’s throat and she felt so loved by Jordan. She had never had someone love her that much and she wanted to take Jordan in her arms to show her how much she loved her for it. "Aah...Jordan would you be upset if we went back to the hotel?" Bly asked cautiously hoping she was thinking the same thing.

"No, not at all. Let’s go." Jordan answered with excitement as she stood up and waited for Bly to stand up.

Bly smiled as she stood up. "I guess you have the same thing on your mind babe." Bly chuckled as they made their way out of their section.

"Yes... I do and let’s hurry." Jordan answered with urgency as her passion mounted for Bly. She wanted to make love to her like never before and wished they were already in the bed doing just that.

The two women hurried to the train station and Bly wished she could have gotten a taxi instead as she looked down the empty track in annoyance. Jordan looked up at her lover and knew that she wanted nothing more than to touch her and feel her pressed against her. She quickly looked around and saw that they were alone and launched herself at her lover.

Bly staggered against the unexpected onslaught, but quickly gained her balance as Jordan's lips sought out her own. The kiss turned passionate and Jordan could feel her knees weakening. " I wish that train would hurry." Jordan whispered between kisses and moved to nip Bly's neck. Bly moved them backward toward a bench and sat down pulling Jordan onto her lap. Jordan moved to straddle Bly's hips and leaned in for a deep, wet kiss. She could feel the heat pulsing within her body and wanted Bly like she had never wanted anyone before. Breathless, the kiss broke and Bly moved her lips to mark a trail down Jordan's neck to the opening of her shirt and quickly unbuttoned the top three buttons. She moved her lips down the edge of the creamy breasts before pulling down her bra and capturing an already aroused nipple. Bly used both her hands to hold down Jordan's bra as she alternated between the two pink orbs.

"Oh God Bly...I can't take anymore. I need....." Jordan's voice became distant as the roar of the oncoming train blurred the rest of her plea.

"Damn!" Bly swore.
