Page 71 of One Last Time
We need to stop before I say screw it and have sex—again. It really is like riding a bike, you get back on and go again. I woke to find him in the kitchen, cooking breakfast, where I thanked him on the floor since that was where we sort of started lastnight.
Then, when he found out I’d never seenA Thin Blue Line, he forced me to watch two episodes as he said his lines in my ear. That led to an incredibly long shower with lots of... soap, but now I have to get mykids.
I push against his chest, and hechuckles.
My hand goes to his mouth before he can try again. “Tomorrow?”
A sly smile paints his face, and he takes my hand in his. “I was thinkingtonight?”
“Noah!” I shake my head. “I have kids. It’s way too soon for them to see me with anotherman.”
He squeezes my hand. “I could sneakin.”
“They could wake up,” Icounter.
“Then you’ll have to be very quiet.” His voice is low and drips withsex.
As much as I want to chastise him, now that he’s said it, I kind of want to take him up on the offer. Damn him and hissexiness.
I take a deep breath, step back a little, and focus on something other than what I could do to keep my mouth too full to speak. “The article is due in three weeks so we’ll need to actually work tomorrow. I need material and then a week to assembleit.”
Noah releases a heavy sigh and nods. “I cantryto keep my hands offyou.”
“You won’t be the only one trying,” I say under mybreath.
He laughs. “Well, if you weren’t the best sex I’d ever had, it wouldn’t be sohard.”
“Shut up!” I smack hisarm.
“What?” He raises his hands. “I’mserious.”
“Whatever.”
I get drunk one time in front of him and give him enough material for anysituation.
Noah walks over, wraps his arms around me, and kisses my forehead. “I’m not kidding, sweetheart. Last night was hands down the best I’vehad.”
I search for the hint of a lie, but he’s deadserious.
His hands move to my butt, and he pulls me against him. “That’s what you do by just making me think about how good youfeel.”
My smile grows when I feel how hard he is. “You should know that you hold the top spot for me,” I say, looking in his eyes. I love how tall he is. There’s something positively sexy about how he looms over me, casting a shadow with hisbody.
I raise up on my toes to touch my lips tohis.
Noah groans as he breaks away. “We need to stop before I toss you over my shoulder and take you to thebedroom.”
Would that be sobad?
I open my mouth to object, but he says the only thing that could stop me. “Finn and Aubrey probably needyou.”
He’s right. They know that their dad and I needed to do something yesterday, but they, well, Aubrey doesn’t know what it means. Finn is all too aware, and I think there’s a little relief that he can finally say we’re divorced instead of not living together. It’s the period at the end of the sentence so we can all moveforward.
“We could do Monday,” Isuggest.
“That’s two daysaway.”
“Tomorrow?” I circle back to my originalsuggestion.
