Page 40 of What's Left of Me

“Ha. I see how that could be a lot.”

Gently I gripped the hair tie and quirked a brow.

“Go ahead.” He smiled.

I tugged, and his golden curls tumbled down, grazing my face. His hair wasn’t super long, maybe just touching his shoulders, but it was like a halo over me offering me even more protection and, yeah, this was officially my new favorite place to be.

“Wow, you have amazing hair.”

“Thanks.”

“And I would love to talk to you about the whole amazing process you go through to make it so luxurious, but I really think if you don’t kiss me again, I might die.”

He licked his lips and responded by devouring my mouth. His tongue dipped inside and he stole my air, captured my fears, and swallowed them away until all I felt was lust, bliss, and Noel.

I stayedin Noel’s room for hours, kissing him, touching him, and trying not to come in my pants. Now I was under a cold spray, jacking it to the memories of our make-out session. I didn’t know how slow I could go. Seriously, that man had moves…and I wanted all of them all the time.

A knock made me jump.

“Hey, Nix, you still in the shower?” Hazel shouted from the bedroom.

“Yeah.” Did she not hear the water?

“You ok?”

“I’d be better if I could shower in peace.” I didn’t mean to snap, but I had my hand on my cock and was a second away from coming. Which I didn’t want to do to the sound of my sister’s voice.

“Oh, saucy. Okay, fine. Dinner is ready when you’re done.”

“Kay, bye.”

I was grumpy by the time I got down to the kitchen because try as I might, I couldn’t get hard again after the sound of my sister’s voice shattered my naked-Noel fantasy.

“Chili-cheese dogs!” Nick shouted as he brought a tray of hot dogs to the table.

“Shep made homemade potato salad and Mason made his coleslaw, so we are in for a treat.”

It looked so good, as everything else they always made did, but I was frustrated. Horny and hungry were a bad combo.

Noel sat beside me, which I both loved and loathed. I wanted to touch him and at the same time I needed him to not touch me.

“The cheese sauce is a little spicy, Angel’s recipe, but so good.”

“Cool.”

I made quick work of fixing my plate and remained silent while I ate. Everyone was talking about the shop, what a douche Rose was, and a brief comment about how this guy, Two, who I guessed Angel had a friendship with, was going to live with some family on the other side of the country.

I glanced at Angel, and he didn’t appear thrilled about it, but he was a grumpy one and I couldn’t get a beat on him.

“You all right?” Noel whispered to me.

“Fine.”

He huffed. “Liar.”

I ate as fast as I could and excused myself swiftly. I needed to be alone, to I don’t know, maybe jack off.

I’d just sat on my bed when there was a knock.Oh, for fuck’s sake. Why can’t anyone leave me alone?
