“No,” I say, but it comes out too high pitched and more like a question.

Noah kisses my nose, then pulls back a little, his eyes never leaving mine as he sweeps a strand of hair off my face, a faint smile playing at his lips. “Sorry, I said we’d go slow and I’m already all over you.”

“It’s okay. I want it.” I tug on his shirt, urging him back down to me.

“Yeah?” He tilts his head, pupils dilating as he comes closer. “What do you want?”

“I—” I swallow, my heart pounding harder than can surely be healthy. I don’t know.

We lie in silence for a minute, chest against chest, his breath warm against my lips as he plays with my hair.

“I don’t know what I want. But I know I want it with you,” I finally whisper.

“Good,” he says low. He licks his lips as he shifts on top of me. He’s still hard against my lower abdomen. “Can I ask you something?”

“Okay.”

“All those times you told me you came when we were chatting, did you actually get yourself off?”

I’m quiet for a heartbeat. Two. Three beats.

“Once,” I say, heat surging in my chest.

One side of his mouth turns up. “When?”

I swallow. “The last time.”

He looks off to the left then back to me, his expression turning slightly sinister. “After you walked in on me…and saw my?—”

“Yes.” I squirm under him, the cock in question getting impossibly harder, growing bigger across my hip as I wiggle.

He growls as his devilish grin grows. “Show me.”

“Huh?”

“Show me how you touched yourself. Show me how you like it.”

“You want to watch?”

“Yes.”

Oh.

“Tell me”—his voice is like velvet—“were you dressed when you got yourself off?”

I shake my head. “I was naked.”

He smiles.

“In your bed,” I add.

His eyes roll back as he presses his lips between his teeth. “Can I see?” He sits back on his heels, hot, dark gaze on me.

I sit up. It’s like slow motion. I undress silently as he watches me. I pull my tank top off, my bare breasts jiggling slightly as I toss it aside.

After hooking my thumbs into the band of my shorts, I lift my hips then slide them down my thighs and off. I’m left sitting here in my peach cotton panties.

Noah looks up and down my body. My nipples tighten as his gaze passes over them.
