Chapter Twenty-Six
KATIE
Noah angles me on the side of the bed until I’m bent over, and my pussy desperately aches for his touch. As soon as he tears off my panties, I widen my legs and arch my back.
“So fuckin’ ready for me,” he hisses when he kneels between my thighs and slides his tongue over my slit. “God, I’ve missed tasting you.”
My knees nearly buckle at how good he feels.
“I missed you too. Even had to bring out Channing a few times,” I admit.
“’Scuse me?” He smacks my ass. “This pussy is mine now.”
“Don’t be jealous. I thought of you the whole time,” I tease.
Noah squeezes my cheeks before separating them and diving in. He sucks and licks, then flicks my clit—driving me wild until I can hardly breathe. I’ve never been touched or worshipped like this before, and I focus on every sensation. Noah makes me feel things I’ve only read about in books.
While I try to lose myself in the moment, my thoughts take over. The fear of someone hurting him sends a painful ache to my stomach, and I worry I could lose him all over again.
Hell, I almost did two weeks ago.
“Get outta your head, baby. You’re tense. It’s just you and me tonight, got it? No outside noise.”
Even after spending years apart, Noah still knows me better than anyone.
I look over my shoulder and bite my lip. “Just me and you. Always,” I confirm.
Noah stands and pulls me up, then leans in and presses his lips to mine. I taste myself and smile.
“I know this is probably too soon to say, but I plan to marry you someday, Katie Walker. My feelings for you are endless. We’re gonna get through this, no matter who tries to come between us. I’ll never stop fighting to have you and Owen in my life.”
“I love you,” I whisper. “More than I ever thought was possible, and it scares me. It also scares me to think something else is gonna happen to you.”
“I know you’re worried, but I promise, I’m not going anywhere.” He wipes my cheeks where tears have fallen. “I love you so much. We’ll figure this out together.”
“You’re right. My emotions are bubbling over because I still can’t believe this is real. It’s you. And me. I—”
“Trust me, I know. I pinch myself every day.”
My cheeks heat. “Even though I should’ve made you grovel more, I’m certainly enjoying the rewards.”
“Is that so? You wanted to play hard to get?” he asks, popping a brow in amusement.
I playfully shrug. “Maybe…if it wasn’t for Gemma begging me to let you stay at the house, who knows how long I would’ve made you suffer.”
“Tsk tsk…you don’t mean that.” Noah spins me around again, capturing my waist and pressing his erection against my lower back.
“You’d be missing out—” His fingers press into my clit as he whispers in my ear.
“On all the benefits of—” He lowers his hand between my thighs and thrusts two fingers deep inside me. “The best sex you’ve ever had.”
Moans roll out of me as my body unravels for him again. His touch, his everything, captivates me.
“Oh my God, don’t stop,” I beg as I lean against his chest and feel how hard and ready he is for me. “I want you. Please.”
“You want it deep and rough, baby girl?” he taunts, sucking under my ear. “Or slow and sensual?”
“Hell,” I breathe out. “Is both an option?”
“Whatever you damn well please.” His deep voice sends volts of pleasure through me.
I can barely contain myself when he pushes me down on the bed, then bends me over in front of him.
He unbuckles his jeans and kicks off his boxers.
When his shirt hits the floor, I know he’s about to send me straight to heaven.
“Your cunt is so wet.” He slides his cock up and down my pussy, teasing and torturing me at the same time. “You’re gonna turn me into a fuckin’ animal.”
I widen my legs and lower myself on the mattress, giving him full access. When Noah lines up our bodies and thrusts inside, I lose my breath. With every hard pump, our skin smacks together, and I moan at how deep he goes. I fist the sheets with a tight grip as he slams into me harder.
“Shit, baby. You feel so goddamn amazing.” He grabs a handful of my hair and moves my head to the side so he can suck on my neck.
“You have any idea how many times I dreamed about bending you over? In my bed, over the couch, against my truck. I wanted to fuck you from behind so badly while playing with your swollen clit so I could feel the moment you lost your mind. I’ve lost count of the number of times I jerked off to those images. It had me coming in seconds.”
My body shakes, and I can’t hold back any longer. Lowering my hand, I moan at the overwhelming sensation of touching myself.
“That’s my girl,” he encourages. “Get it ready for me. Rub that clit nice and hard.”
“Oh my God…it’s too intense.” I squeeze my eyes and scream. Noah captures my mouth as I release the most intense orgasm of my life.
“Holy…” I gasp.
“Move your hand,” he orders.
I reposition myself so he can slide his arm between the bed and me.
“Fuck, you’re throbbing.”
I rock my hips with his as he continues to pound into me, alternating hard and fast with slow and gentle.
“I can’t get enough of you,” he says, pressing a kiss to my back. “I wanna live inside you all goddamn day, Katie. Fuck you, make love to you, eat your pussy for every meal.” He presses his fingers firmer against me. “I can’t stop.”
“Oh God, please don’t.” My ass bounces as he increases his speed. “Your dick feels so good. I’m addicted.”
Emotions burst through me as Noah fucks me with fierce tenderness—a complicated combination but one he’s mastered. Even when my body is ready to give out, and I’m gasping for air, I want more. More of him, more of us, more of everything.
I’m hooked on him in every way possible.
After an amazingly endless night with Noah, he holds me against his chest. He trails his fingers down my arm, soothing and caressing me as we talk about Owen. I love my son very much and miss him when we aren’t together, but I needed this time with Noah.
One of our concerns was how much to tell Owen about Noah and Gabe’s relationship and the events surrounding the night his father died.
I’d rather he never find out. It won’t bring Gabe back, and it won’t take away what happened between us.
Owen looks up to Noah so much, and I don’t want to taint the memory of Gabe with the facts of what he was doing at the bar that night.
So we decided not to share that story with him.
If he somehow finds out, then we’ll deal with it when the time comes, but for now, he never needs to know.
I wake up to the sun shining through the window and smile at the hard body next to me.
We fell asleep late into the morning hours, talking and laughing about old memories.
I feel like my true self when I’m with Noah, like I did when we were kids.
He makes me stupidly happy, and I still can’t believe after all these years, this is where we ended up.
Since Noah’s eyes are still closed, I carefully crawl under the covers. He may not be awake, but the tent he’s sporting says otherwise. I gently fist his erection before licking my tongue up his hard shaft. Noah stirs and moans, encouraging me to keep going.
Wrapping my mouth around his tip, I suck hard, then lower myself down. Noah releases another guttural moan as his hand searches for me. I smile as he fists my hair and shows me the pacing he wants. As I suck and stroke him, he moans and rocks his hips.
“Baby girl, get up here and ride me right now,” he demands. “I wanna come inside you.”
I whip off the blankets and lick my lips as I straddle him, then lower myself down.
“Oh shit,” he hisses, grabbing my breast as my pussy tightens around his cock.
“You like me on top?”
“Fuck yes. Keep goin’.”
Noah grips my waist, and our bodies move together until I can no longer take it. An orgasm rips through me as my pace increases, and I feel him stiffen beneath me. He lets out an animalistic growl as he releases inside me, and I collapse on his chest.
“Oh my God,” I pant.
“Best way I’ve ever woken up.” He chuckles, pushing my hair off my face so he can kiss my lips. “Good mornin’.”
I blush. “Mornin’.”
After we clean up, we head downstairs and grab breakfast from the buffet. After last night’s and this morning’s festivities, I’m starving.
“How y’all doin’? Enjoying your stay?” Dolly asks after we take our seats with full plates.
“Yes, it’s been amazing. This place is so beautiful,” I say, grinning at Noah and he nods.
She chats with us for a moment, then leaves us to eat.
“So what’s on the agenda today?”
“Well as much as I wanna keep you in bed all day, I’ve made arrangements for an in-room couples massage.”
My eyes widen. “You didn’t! Really?”
“And then after dinner, we’ll take a two-hour sunset cruise down Magnolia River, Weeks Bay, and Fish River. It stops at Big Daddy’s for drinks and to watch the sunset before we come back.”
My emotions bubble over just thinking about the lengths he went through to plan this romantic weekend. No man has ever done anything like this for me. “I love you. That sounds perfect.”
“I love you too. And it’ll be perfect—after we make use of that tub tonight.” He winks.
I snort, beaming with more excitement than I’ve felt in a long time. Though we’re in our thirties, it feels like we’re teenagers again. Hanging out, making each other laugh, and finding ways to enjoy each other have been the highlight of my weekend.
I only wish now we didn’t have to worry about someone trying to kill him.
The couple's massage nearly had me melting off the table. I’d never felt so relaxed in my life and having Noah close made it even better.
“My entire body is butter. You could fold me in half, and I wouldn’t feel a thing,” I say as I collapse on the bed.
“Is that so? Maybe I should take advantage of this newfound flexibility.” Noah grabs my ankles and pushes my knees to my chest. “Hmm…yeah, I could work with this.”
I giggle and stretch my legs, rolling away so he can’t snap me in half. “Nice try. You promised to wine, dine, and cruise me first.”
