I return my attention back to his cock. “What do I get if I do?”

Noah doesn’t speak for a long time, or at least it seems that way as I feel the carpet fibers bite into my knees.

Finally, he says, “You don’t know what you’re asking for, Baby Brooks.” There’s the grin I loathe to love. “But you’re about to find out.”

Before I can articulate a response, he has me by my armpits, hoisting me up, setting me on the edge of his desk.

I barely get my hands wrapped around the lip of the desk before he’s pushing at the hem of my dress and splitting my legs apart.

Fitting himself between them, he wraps a hand gently around my neck, thumb brushing my pulse when a throat clears from behind Noah.

I jump while he freezes.

His hand doesn’t leave my throat as he shifts his head to peer over his shoulder. I stretch my neck like a giraffe to see past his frame.

Gabe stands in the doorway, his thick arms are crossed loosely over his chest, amused as he stares at us. “Don’t stop on my account.”

Noah’s hand disappears from my neck, and as he turns around, his arms reach behind him to knock my knees together.

“What are you doing here?” he growls.

Gabe raises a brow. “How quickly he forgets.” Pushing off from the doorframe, he walks farther into the room.

“Gabriel.”

Gabe grins. “I’m here to escort you to the fight.”

“Fight?” Noah echoes my thoughts.

What fight?

Gabe’s brow goes higher as he clicks his teeth. “I’m disappointed in you, Noah. Never have you lost your mind over the taste of pussy before.”

“Gabriel,” Noah growls again, the sound deep in his chest. Warning.

Gabe grins. “Fine, I’ll fill your sex-clouded minds. The fight with Seamus is tonight. You still want those answers, right?”

Crap! I forgot that was tonight. And by the way Noah looks when I peer around his shoulder, so did he.

Noah nods.

Slowly, I slide off the desk. My body brushing against Noah’s backside.

“C’mon, boss,” Gabe calls, a dark smile on his face. “Let’s go have some fun.”

“Give me a second,” Noah tells him before turning to me. “Thea’s going to come get you and take you there. I need you to stick close to her and listen in case anything gets out of hand.”

I lift a brow. “Plan on things getting out of hand?”

He gives me a cold, serious look. “You never know at these kinds of things. So for both our sakes, stick close to Thea. Please.”

It’s the please that gets me. It sounds foreign on his tongue and I hear the worry behind it. It’s what has me nodding, promising I’ll stay with Thea.

Some relief finds its way onto his face and he kisses me so hard and fast, I barely feel it before he’s following Gabe out the door.

I don’t know what’s going to happen tonight, but hopefully we’re one step closer to the madness ending.

A heavy feeling presses down on my chest…the sooner this is over the sooner I’ll have to say goodbye to Noah.
