Page 80 of The Ghost of You

She eyes me suspiciously. “You don’t even have a coffee in your hand.” Her gaze travels up and down my body. “And you are glowing.”

“Stop,” I say as I walk over to the espresso machine.

She raises a brow at me. “Good date with Mason last night?”

I snort. “No.”

“You sure? Because you have that thoroughly fucked glow to you.”

“Mason and I are better off as friends.”

She walks up to me and pushes my hair aside. Noah got a little too excited around my neck and left faint bruises from his kisses near my ear. “Friends with benefits? You have hickeys on your neck like you are fifteen.”

“No, Mason didn’t even kiss me last night.”

She scrunches her brow. “Then who the hell were you making out with?”

I smile as I think about Noah’s rough hands on my body, the dirty words he whispered in my ear, the way he knew to handle my body. “Noah.”

“What?” she shrieks. “Girl, spill.”

So I do because for the first time in a long time I can feel my heart beat again.

“All it took for him to finally admit his feelings was for Mason to take you out?”

I nod. “Yep. Ten minutes after Mason dropped me off, Noah was pounding on my door.”

She smirks at me. “And which door was that?”

I roll my eyes.

“I won’t be surprised if it’s the back door soon.”

If I had something to throw at her, I would. “Gross. Not happening.”

“Really? You wouldn’t take it up the butt?”

“Can you wipe that creepy grin off your face? I’m guessing you do.”

“Don’t knock it till you try it.” She stands up and walks over to me, placing her hand on my shoulder. “Besides from what you’ve told me I wouldn’t be surprised if that man tries to shove it in.”

I push her away. “Please stop.”

“Hopefully he starts with a finger.”

“I can’t with you.” I walk out of her office and into the yoga studio to prep for class.

How did this conversation about Noah turn into talking about anal? I shiver as I think about it. Kyle never once asked me to try it. And I haven’t slept with anyone since Kyle that mentioned it. Would I do it?

Damn Seraphina and her dirty mind.

Noah

I shutthe door behind me and smile.

Why did I wait so long to kiss Anna?
