Chapter 18
Chapter Eighteen
EVERLY
Noah pulled his fingers out of me as I started coming back to my body. I hadn’t had such an intense orgasm in… well… thirteen years. He pulled me closer to his body and cradled me in his arms.
I frowned and turned to face him. “Wait. We’re not done.”
“Everly. We don’t have to go further.”
“Noah, you are going to give me the pleasure of watching you come. As I recall, it's a very beautiful thing to watch. It’s going to happen, either with my hand, my mouth, or you will be inside me. Your choice. And if it makes things easier, Bex may have forgotten to pack toothpaste, but the woman did pack condoms.”
My friend wasn’t actually expecting me to use them, but I was glad she packed them.
Noah rolled off of me and out of the bed. “I have condoms in my go bag.”
“Seriously?” I raised my brow, grateful that he had them, but at the same time curious as to why.
Seeing the look on my face, he smiled and shook his head. “I didn’t just pack them for tonight. I always have some in my bag. They’re handy for more than just sex. Besides, our track record suggests that they’re not always effective.”
“I wasn’t on the pill back then. I am now.” I leaned up on my elbows as he rolled on the condom. “We’re double protected this time.”
At least, I hoped we were. Having another baby was not on the cards for me while I was planning a second shot at my career. I wanted to grab the opportunity in front of me with both hands.
Thinking about my career reminded me of what notoriety could do. Of the scene at my house. No one wanted me to see my bedroom, and I didn’t want to imagine what had happened in there.
“Hey.” Noah’s deep voice pulled me from getting any deeper into my head. “I’m here to make you forget, right?”
I nodded and smiled at the man in front of me.
His body was really a work of art. Sculpted chest, six pack abs.
Broad shoulders, thick muscled thighs. And let’s not even mention that cock.
Fuck, the man was perfect. Even with the scars, some I remembered, some new, he was still gorgeous as all get out.
“I like the way you look at me.” His voice was deep and thick with lust.
I relaxed back onto the mattress, pushing the covers down and opening for him at the same time. “There’s a lot to look at.”
Noah’s gaze pinned me before he joined me on the bed. With his body alongside mine, he tugged my chin between his thumb and forefinger as he brought my mouth to his. “I didn’t get to taste you.”
I nibbled at his bottom lip, savoring the taste of him. “Next time, we get to taste each other. I promise.”
“You promise, do you?”
“I do. I’m even willing to pinky swear.”
A chuckle fell from his lips, and I couldn’t help but smile. That was the piece that was missing from my other relationships. Not that there were many. Laughter at inappropriate times was something I needed. Noah was the only man I had laughed in bed with.
He rolled onto me and continued to kiss me.
His kisses were hot and as he peppered them along my jaw and chest. He would not wait until next time.
His tongue left a wet trail along my collar bone and around my breast until he pulled one nipple into his mouth.
The feel of his tongue ratcheted up my body and I writhed beneath him.
His mouth left my breast and went straight for the other one, giving it the same treatment as the first. Then his tongue was on the move again.
Slowly he moved down my body, leaving a hot trail as he reached my pussy.
That first lick had me arching off the bed. I rested on my elbows, the sight of his head between my thighs completely enthralling.
The erotic sight only amped up my arousal and the low groan coming from Noah only confirmed that. His eyes met mine as the tip of his tongue toyed with my clit. Not enough to take me over the edge, but I was definitely hovering right there.
My head fell back as sensation rocketed through me. “Noah, I need you inside me.”
“Nearly there, babe.” He replaced his tongue with a finger and kissed his way back up my body.
I was right on the edge when his hand moved away. Before I had a chance to moan out my frustration, he’d pushed into me with a single hard thrust.
My body bowed and my orgasm was immediate and intense. Everything went rigid as the waves of pleasure took over me. Noah held on to me, murmuring something that I was never going to hear between the ringing in my ears and my own screaming.
Slowly, my mind made its way back to my body. I smiled up at Noah. “That was phenomenal. I don’t want to know where you learned to do that, but I am glad that you did.”
“Fuck, babe. You’re beautiful when you come.” Noah’s dark eyes hooded over as he moved ever so slowly inside me. “Still the best thing I’d ever seen.”
“You’re going to need to move a little faster.”
“And you’re going to need to give me a moment.” That smirk was so sexy and told me I’m not going to have to wait too long to get what I needed. “You strangled my cock so hard I nearly came before I got to properly enjoy being inside you.”
After another slow agonizing moment, Noah increased his pace a little.
He was determined to savor every moment of us being together.
I suppose that made sense. Neither of us planned on the events of the evening, though I had hoped we would end up in bed together from the moment he smiled at me before I went on stage.
I could’ve sworn his mind went there as well. And then all hell broke loose at my house. But I wasn’t going to think about that while Noah was inside me. I focused my mind back on him and smiled as he moved back inside me.
“There you are.” His lust-roughened voice echoed through the quiet room. “I was beginning to wonder if I should worry that I could lose your attention so quickly.”
“I’m sorry. I — ugh.”
He moved his pelvis and changed the angle inside me, bringing another wave of sensation through me. He shook his head. “You don’t need to apologize for anything. The aim is to forget, right?”
I nod. He was right, I needed to forget. And I’m guessing he needed to as well.
Allowing myself to move back into the moment, I clenched around him. A low growl escaped him, and his pace increased a little more but he was still far too controlled.
“Hands above your head, Ev.” He panted and I could tell he was struggling to hold it together. “Grab onto the headboard and lift your chest. I want to suck on those pretty nipples while I’m inside you.”
The tightening of my muscles was totally involuntary that time. His words brought back a rush of memories. Even all those years ago, that was his thing, to lick and suck at my breasts while he was moving inside me.
I did as he asked, relishing the smooth feel of the wooden rungs of the headboard.
He had pulled me low enough on the bed that I had to stretch my body before I could arch it to his mouth.
Still, just the idea that I was on display for him in that way, raised my own arousal and I increased my own pace.
One hand dropped to his back. My nails dug into the hard muscle no doubt marring the smooth skin.
Noah’s pace increased once more to match mine. Still, he kissed and tugged at my nipples. The fire burning through my veins as another impending orgasm overwhelmed me. I closed my eyes and threw my head back.
“No, babe. I want your eyes. Look at me when you come.” His pace increased as I easily complied with his request. “Everything you feel, plays out in those pretty blue eyes. I don’t want to miss a moment of it.”
“Noah.” His words made me lose my breath.
Surely, he didn’t want to see all I was feeling at that moment.
Everything about us being together was more than I expected.
Bigger than the memories we shared. More heat, more lust, and more emotion.
I would let him see it, but if he wasn’t prepared for what he would find, I may well wake up alone in the morning.
I knew the moment it registered what he had asked for.
The emotions he would find. His melted chocolate eyes widened and softened.
Noah was not afraid of what he found. At least, I hoped not.
It was not a declaration of undying love, but it was an admission that we were connected.
And not just because we shared a history, and a child.
And not even because I was scared and he wanted to protect me.
What was happening between us was new and fresh and just about us.
Something neither of us had even seen coming.
I bit down on my lip, maintaining eye contact with him as my orgasm took over.
“Come for me, Ev.” Noah's voice had a steely edge to it. “Come right fucking now.”
His name was once again a loud chant. My body went tight enough that it triggered his orgasm. A growl erupted from deep inside him, something primal, natural and all for me. His body stiffened as he let go. It was a sight to behold.
Noah collapsed alongside me. Both of us panting, with a sheen of sweat coating our bodies. As soon as he caught his breath, he got up and went to the ensuite bathroom to get rid of the condom. When he climbed back into bed, he pulled me into his body and held me close, ensuring I slept all night.
He did what he set out to do. He made me forget.
