“They were the bomb.That’s what Ryan said.”
That makes me giggle.
“I’m glad,” I whisper, stretching in the bed, feeling sleep close by.Hearing Noah’s voice makes me warm… it’s like a drug.
“You’re in bed,” he says, his voice dropping down into this deep timbre that makes my body come alive.
“It’s late.”
“You didn’t let me hear you,” he says and I bite my lip.
“Noah—”
“Do you sleep naked, Rory?”he asks, his wicked question causing anticipation to run through me.
“Noah, I don’t think we should do this,” I caution.
“Don’t think, Gorgeous.We’re in separate rooms, what’s the harm in fantasizing?”
His question is worded so innocently, seducing me to say yes—even though I know it would be a mistake.
“I’m not sure…” I whisper, because I’m warring with myself.
“Are you naked, Rory?”he asks again.
“Yes,” I admit.I never used to, that’s something new.Something that I’ve done since the day that Noah came over and I discovered he was as lost as part of me still is.
“Fuck,” he groans and that makes me smile, because I know he likes it.
“Noah?”
“Yeah, Baby?”he asks, and that’s new.He’s never called me baby before and here in the dark, with nothing but my cover over me and his voice in my ear, I have to say I like it—really like it.
“I wish there wasn’t a wall between us.”
I swallow hard after I say the words.He won’t realize I’m not talking about a literal wall.He won’t even begin to realize how much I want to touch more than just his body.I can’t explain it and I really want to run away but I’m losing the battle.I was losing the battle to stay away from him before he called and now that he has…
I’m caving fast.
“Fuck, Baby,” he growls.“Me too.”
“I should let you go,” I tell him, suddenly sad and I don’t want him to hear it in my voice.
“Not yet, Gorgeous.First, you’re going to do me a favor.”
“I am?”I ask.
“I need you to slide your hand down between your legs, Baby.”
“Noah, I don’t think?—”
“Do it now, Rory,” he orders, his voice still soft, but now commanding as well.He wants me to do this and he’s not going to stop until I do.His dominating presence somehow fills the room even if I can only hear him through the phone.
I am blushing.I know I am.I’ve never done anything like this before.I’ve never wanted to.Still, Noah wants this and because it’s him…I want it too.
“Okay…” I whisper as I awkwardly put my hand against my center.
“Cup that sweet pussy for me, Rory.Hold yourself and tell me what you feel.”
