26. Laurel
Laurel
THE CHANDELIER TWINKLED like a million stars as I lay across the dining table and sank into the overwhelming sensations flooding my body.
I was grateful in that moment for the cooler temperatures of the caves.
My blood felt like liquid fire as it ran through my veins.
With my dress hiked up around my waist and one of my legs draped over Noah’s shoulder, I could only imagine the picture I made as he teased me mercilessly.
He had one hand resting on my upper thigh, holding me wide as he kissed and licked the soft skin of my leg.
Then he’d return to the apex of my pleasure where he’d sucked on my clit, making me cry out.
My voice echoed off the cave walls surrounding us, and I glanced down to see Noah’s eyes locked on mine. His lips were swollen, wet with my desire, and the wicked glint in his dark stare told me he was as turned on as I was.
Oh God. God . Where had the sweet, caring boy I’d given my virginity to gone? Because the man seated between my thighs at the dinner table sure as hell wasn’t him.
Noah was all kinds of intense now. From his focus, to his appetite, he was hellbent on driving me out of my mind.
Turning his head, Noah placed another kiss to the inside of my thigh, then he shoved back from the table and got to his feet. He stared down at me splayed out before him, fierce arousal in his eyes.
My body knew that look. It understood what it was about to get. And when Noah reached for his thick cock and gave it a firm stroke, I reached down and pressed my hand between my thighs.
When I slipped my fingers inside my panties, it was more than obvious I was ready for him. My hot, aching flesh throbbed as I rubbed my fingers against my sensitive clit. Noah licked his lips, and I slammed my eyes shut and slid a finger deep inside.
“Jesus, Laurel.”
The harsh sound of Noah’s voice made me reopen my eyes.
I cupped my breast with my other hand, and a feral growl left his throat.
He was close to losing his cool; I could tell by the color on his cheeks and the strained expression on his face.
He looked pissed off, but I knew better.
That look meant he was close to giving in.
“Take it off,” he said. “I want to see you.”
Every word out of Noah’s mouth made me wetter. I reached up to slip the strap of my dress off my shoulder, and Noah stepped forward until he was between my spread thighs.
The cool air on my fevered skin felt amazing as my nipple tightened even more. Then Noah bent down and placed a palm on the table, and with his eyes on mine, he flicked his tongue over the sensitive nub and grinned.
“Fuck, Laurel, you’ve got me harder than I’ve ever been.” Noah cupped my breast and teased me again.
“ Ah. ” I wrapped a leg around his ass and arched up toward him, needing something, needing more. “Noah.”
“Hmm?” he said over my nipple, and the warmth of his breath made a shiver race up my spine.
“I need—” My words vanished as he sucked me between his lips. Then he released me with a soft pop and raised his head.
“What? Tell me what you need.”
I should’ve known he was going to tease me. Should’ve known he would make me beg. But I was done waiting, done with this game we’d been playing. I wanted him and I wanted him now, and I wasn’t going to be shy about that.
I smoothed my hand down between us and took hold of the erection rubbing against my thigh. “This. I need this. Now .”
Noah shifted a little up the table until his lips were hovering over mine. “Ask me nicely.”
I bit at his lower lip. “That was nicely.”
Seemingly satisfied with that answer, he pressed a hard kiss to my mouth and moved off me. I was about to protest until I looked up to see him pulling something from his wallet. He brought a small square packet to his teeth and tore it open.
Damn, I was burning up. How that was possible when I was half-naked on a table in a subterranean cave, I had no idea. But when Noah reached down and sheathed his thick length, the fever only intensified.
“I could watch you all damn night and never get tired of it.”
I gently squeezed my breast and offered up my most provocative smile. “If it’s all the same to you, I’d rather you do , then watch.”
Noah moved between my thighs, his eyes locked on mine, then guided the tip of his cock between my wet folds. I gasped at the intimate touch, but kept my stare locked with his.
He rubbed himself up and down, getting the head nice and slick. “You’re so fucking wet. It’s going to be a nice, easy slide in here.”
My breathing intensified as he guided my leg around his waist and reached for my hips.
“You’re gonna want to hang on. I’m about to take you on rough ride.”
That was all the warning I got before he shoved his hips forward and entered me.
My cry was full of pleasure, as my body enveloped him and gripped him like a vise.
I was more aroused than I’d ever been before, and the exquisite feeling of Noah inside me had my thighs flexing and my inner muscles tightening.
“Do that again,” Noah said through gritted teeth, and when I did, he cursed. “Pull the other strap down. I want to see your beautiful breasts.”
I lowered the material until it pooled at my waist and then reached for my hardened nipples and twisted.
Noah’s jaw twitched and his hips punched forward, and the pleasure was so intense that my eyes slammed shut.
“No. Keep them open,” he demanded. “That’s it. I want to watch you when you come. All of you.”
A moan slipped free as he slowly pulled out and then tunneled back inside. I kneaded the soft curves of my breasts and grazed my thumbs over my nipples. When Noah leaned down to replace my fingers with his tongue, I arched up off the table to give him better access.
He flicked and sucked at the sensitive nub, and I speared my hand through his hair to hold him close. My chest was heaving now, my body trembling as it clung to the intruder sliding in and out of it with such ease.
“Noah,” I said, knowing I was close. He gave my nipple a final kiss and then straightened, then he slid his hands under my ass and began to move.
I wrapped my legs around his waist and hooked them over one another so I had something to anchor me. Then I began to move with him, writhing atop the table, chasing the ultimate high. In and out, he took me over and over again, and when I reached down to finger my clit, a groan hit my ears.
“Yes,” Noah said as I massaged the sensitive bundle of nerves. My fingers were soaked and so was he, and under any other circumstance I might’ve been embarrassed. But right here and now I felt nothing but power as Noah watched me masturbate for him.
“Fuck, Laurel, I’m close.”
So was I, and as he tunneled inside of me again, the orgasm hit, and my body clamped around him like a fist. A cry of pleasure ripped out of me, and I squeezed my legs tight, not willing to let him go until I was fully satisfied.
As the wave finally ebbed and the ache eased, my legs relaxed and Noah withdrew. My eyes fluttered shut, and as I sank into the delicious lethargy washing over me, he wrapped a hand around my wrist and tugged me upright.
My eyes flew open and I came face to face with Noah. He leaned in and whispered against my lips, “My turn.”
His words made my body throb with renewed interest, and I looked down between us to see his erection was thick, hard, and bare.
Noah had removed the condom at some stage, and I couldn’t wait to touch him.
I wrapped a hand around him and began to stroke, and when he leaned forward and said, “Harder,” I increased the pressure.
I angled my neck, and Noah nuzzled in. He began to pump up into my fist, then brought his other hand up to knead my breast.
“God,” I said as he twisted my nipple, and then I turned my head and took his mouth with mine. The kiss was desperate, passionate, and full of pent-up desire. Noah thrust into my fist hard and fast, and a second later he pulled back and groaned, coming all over my hand.
He took a shuddering breath and rested his forehead on my naked shoulder. After a couple of minutes had passed, he looked me in the eye and smirked.
“Damn. That was…”
When he seemed to be at a loss for words, I nodded. “Yeah, it really was.”
As silence settled in around us, and the reality of what I’d just done and with whom slammed into me, all of the doubts I’d shoved aside earlier came rushing back in.
What had I done?
Noah gently slipped the straps of my dress back in place, then he tucked himself in. “You know, I never imagined finding you again after all these years, especially back here. It’s—”
“Crazy?” Because that was how this was starting to feel to me. Crazy, insane, like I’d lost my goddamn mind. What was I thinking letting things go this far?
“Yeah, but in a great way. Don’t you think? Tonight was amazing. You can’t tell me it wasn’t.”
I couldn’t, that was true. Everything had been perfect. From the location of the meal, to the unbelievably hot sex we’d just had on this VIP table. But as I realized where he was going with this, I knew I was too vulnerable to keep my walls up right now.
I slipped off the table and gestured to myself. “I, um, I need to go and clean up a bit.”
Seeming to sense the shift in my mood, Noah nodded and stepped aside. “Of course, sorry. Take your time. I’ll take care of this while you’re gone.”
I glanced at the uneaten food and nodded.
I knew I was acting strange. I’d gone from hot to cold in the blink of an eye.
But I just needed a few minutes on my own to regroup.
To remember exactly what my plan was. Because no matter how good this date had been—and it had been great —it could never happen again. Ever.
