“You’re always wet for me.” Noah saw that for himself as he ripped off her underwear and rubbed his hardening bulge against her slit. The spice of her body was enough to send him over the edge after so long apart, but Noah wouldn’t spoil the moment. He was determined. Feckless.Get in there and show her how much you need her.In his simplistic head, that made all the sense in the world. Lucy was a woman made for expressing his desires. All he had to do was love her the right way, and she would see. She would understand.Save the words for the sorry truth. Not how much you love her.
Noah was always better at expressing his thoughts and feelings through sex, anyway. Even when his beloved was dressed like an escort heading straight to her client’s hotel room.
She let out a soft, bemused moan as he sild inside of her. For the first time in nearly a week, Noah understood true clarity.Every time I fuck her, it’s like a weight is lifted from my shoulders.He knew that feeling that first night, when he beheld a woman unlike any other. Yes, she was intriguing and beautiful. God knew she took his bullshit like a professional champ. Yet there had been something else. Something surprising. That glint in her eyes and the gasp on her lips when they saw each other for the first time. Dare Noah believe that she had fallen in love with him in that moment?
Dare he believe in anything right now?
“Ah…” He nearly collapsed atop her. Although he saved his humility at the last minute, the movement pushed him farther into her, loosening Lucy’s body and sending her deeper into the bed. She wasted no time working her core around his cock. Even the slightest movement of her hips or wiggle of her waist had him holding back that wave of euphoria he was saving for a little bit later. With his hands holding fast to her torso and his concentration on everything he felt between them, Noah thrust forward, determined to make her feel as good as he did.
“Come on, Mr. Gabriel.” Her tone should have disturbed him, but Noah was so into her frank and dirty talk that he took up the role of physical instigator, leaving the sass of seduction to her. “Show me how much you fucking love this pussy. It’s all yours, right? Come on and take it. Make me never forget what it feels like when you’re fucking me raw.”
He had only ever fucked her “raw.” That was one of the hottest benefits of going through a club that took care of all the unromantic questions and required testing. He could have her however he wanted. This cunt was his for the taking the moment he walked into that room. He didn’t need anything.Shedidn’t need anything. For those few twisted minutes, he had her for the first time, and she came so hard that he wondered if he had broken her.
…And wondered how he could do that again.
“Oh, shit…” Lucy arched her back, feet flexing toward his hips as her arms crawled forward. She was dangerously close to crawling away from him. Noah had to pin her waist down and put all of his focus onto thrusting into her. Yet that was the pull of sex. Every man coveted those moments when he slipped in deep, deeper… the whole point of pulling back out was to have that chance of total pleasure when he was in again. With a woman like Lucy, who wanted him inside of her as much as he wanted to be in her? Those moments of pleasure turned into increasingly intense seconds of ecstasy.
Lucy must have thought so, too.
“Harder…” Her eyes were closed, head tilted slightly toward his, not that Noah had the opportunity to bend down and kiss her right now. “Harder. Fuck me. Harder.”
He could give it to her harder. Perhaps at the expense of his insanity, but Noah didn’t want to hold back any longer. He wanted – no, needed – her to feel him. He wanted her to remember him for the rest of her life. That urgency, coupled with the crippling anxiety that for some ungodly reason this might be the last time, compelled Noah to ram into her and use up all of the strength he had been saving for later.
There was always another later, anyway.
“Fuck, yes!” Lucy’s fingers curled into the bedspread, mouth hanging open and eyes squeezed tight. “Fuck that pussy, Mr. Gabriel. Fuck it! It’s all yours, isn’t it?”
He barely heard her. The edge was so near that all Noah could think about was timing his release at the perfect moment. If he could. The more he fucked her, the harder it would become to hold back and wait for a more opportune moment. In an ideal world, he would have flipped her over and romantically kissed her while obliterating her below.I wanted to taste her moans and see the exact moment on her face when she realized I had come inside her.It would be an utter delight he hadn’t sampled in over a week. Life was sometimes so hard for a man like Noah Gabriel.
“You want it?” he growled, pulling her up by the hips and holding himself inside of her. “You want me to make you come?”
Lucy was practically laughing into the bed covers. “It’s what I deserve, isn’t it?”
Noah wouldn’t argue with that. He wanted to wait until she came all over him. It was the only way to reunite after such a long week apart.
He gently rocked into her, holding back his orgasm until he felt her trembles and heard her cry of need. Noah unleashed the last torrent of thrusts that would bring about the end. There was no going back now.
“Oh, God. Oh,God.” Lucy must have felt it even before Noah, whose thighs were so hot with pent-up release that he would now suffer a need to come even long after it finally began. “Right there! Do it right there!”
Noah didn’t relent as he fucked her right in the spot he requested. It was all the same to him now. The first wave of relief came as hard and fast as the rest of him, the sweat making his shirt cling to his chest and his hands slip against her hips. He couldn’t stop. He wouldn’t, not until the last of his seed had been spent inside of her, and Lucy whined into the comforter that she didn’t know what to do with all of it.
Neither did Noah. Even he had to admit the past week had left him too endowed. When he found the strength to pull out of her, he was greeted with his own virility pulsing from Lucy’s folds.
He eased her hips down onto the bed and collapsed beside her. In a perfect world, he would pull her close and kiss her again, but Lucy had buried her face in her own arms. Almost as if she didn’twanthim to kiss her.
Which was a preposterous idea. Noah now knew that he loved her. Why wouldn’t he want to kiss the woman he loved after such a hot and heavy reunion?
***
Noah ordered dessert while Lucy was in the shower. When he offered to join her, she was a little too nonchalant when she said,“Sure. If that’s what you want.”Clearly, it wasn’t what she wanted, and Noah respected her need to be alone for a whole twenty minutes.
He changed his clothes and flipped through the TV channels. Opened and closed the curtains, before finally deciding to leave them halfway. Straightened up the bed after they had sex all over it. Checked his phone messages, only to find a note from Candace that Stacey had refused her vitamins that night.Not out of the usual. She thinks it’s a protest when I’m away from home for two whole days.Nothing settled his nerves as he thought of ways to tell Lucy that he not only loved her, but had a few secrets lurking in his unfortunate shadows.
Lead with the love. Let’s drink to our happiness and talk about a hypothetical future before delving into the heavy stuff.Noah might even hold off on the stuff about Stacey and Tonya for the next day. Lucy should have a whole night of domestic bliss on the brain. If Noah could give that to her, anyway.
“Oh…” She stepped out of the bathroom with a robe wrapped around her body. “I didn’t know you were ordering something.”
She had been in the shower long enough for the delivery to be made. Two hot brownies with “everything” on top sat on the table by the window. Noah picked them up and brought them over to the couch, where Lucy sat.
