But then that guilt rears its ugly head again and I pull back.
Noelle blinks up at me blearily, frowning. ‘Is everything all right?’
I glance at the window, where moonlight now seeps through the gap in the curtain. I turn back to Noelle and pull away just enough to meet her questioning gaze, hating myself for halting the moment. ‘I think the storm is over.’
Her brow furrows in confusion, and I imagine she’s trying to process why I’d bring up weather when there are clearly more pressing issues at hand.
My dick, for example, which is currently straining against the loosely wrapped towel around my waist.
I sit upright on the bed, trying to subtly adjust myself. ‘I noticed about an hour ago. If you left now, I think you could make it to your grandmother’s house before sunrise. I can call a car for you if you’re worried about your one making it the whole way.’
Noelle makes a sound that’s a mix between a scoff of disbelief and a dry laugh. She sits up too and fixes me in place with a sharp stare. ‘Are you asking me to leave?’
‘No,’ I say quickly. ‘That’s the last thing I want.’
‘Then why are you saying anything?’
‘Because it’ll be Christmas in about five minutes,’ I say with a wry grin. ‘And I know how important it was for you to spend it with your family. So…’ I shrug. ‘Now you have your chance.’
Noelle considers me for a few long moments. ‘And if I said I wanted to stay?’ She lifts herself up onto her knees and then straddles me, draping her arms loosely around my neck.‘If I said that it’s your birthday in about four minutes, and I wanted to stay and celebrate with you?’
My hands immediately go to her thighs and I have to bite back a groan as my fingers dig into soft, supple skin.
She smirks and grinds into me, sliding over my already painfully hard dick. ‘Answer the question, Alex. If I told you that I wanted to stay? Then what?’
‘If you really wanted to—’
She leans in and nips at my neck. ‘I do.’
I swallow. ‘Then—’
‘Then what?’
I’m tired of playing games. I pull her flush against me, my towel falling by the wayside so my dick can run along the fabric of her panties. ‘Then there’s nothing else to discuss,’ I growl against her lips.
Noelle lets out a happy sigh. ‘Finally. We’re on the same page.’
Her lips meet mine in a frenzy and we tumble back onto the bed, our bodies writhing together in a desperate need for each other. I slip a hand between us and she practically purrs in approval as my fingers run along the thin, damp strip of fabric that’s keeping her pussy from me.
‘Are you just going to tease me all night?’ she murmurs against my lips as I press my thumb over her clothed clit and watch as she hisses and arches further into me.
‘Seriously considering it.’
She pulls back slightly and rolls her eyes. ‘Hilari—’
‘Take them off,’ I say, my voice rough with desire.
Her eyes widen a fraction, but she doesn’t ask for any clarification. Just drops a hand and tugs her panties down her leg before tossing them into a dark corner of the room.
Noelle crawls back up my body, and I can now feel the damp heat of her core against me, begging to be touched. And I desperately want to touch her. But not like this.
I slide down on the bed until I’m lying flat against the sheets. ‘Here.’ I point to my face and enjoy the way Noelle flushes immediately. I can actually feel the warmth spreading through her where my hands meet her skin.
‘You want me to—’
‘Sit.’
Her tongue darts out to wet her lip before she gives me a tiny nod, and crawls up my body until her thighs are bracketing my head. I give them both a squeeze, signalling for her to sit down fully, but she hesitates.
