It hadn’t occurred to me to get myself off earlier. I’d been completely focused on Noah and his pleasure. My own hadn’t come into the equation. But now Noah had shone a light on it and how he planned to take care of it, I couldn’t think of anything else.
Steam from the large walk-in shower hit me as I stepped into the bathroom. I barely took in the rest of the room, aside from noting that all of it was generously proportioned and high end. I was too busy drinking in the sight of my mate. His back was to me, his long hair swaying as he rummaged through a cupboard for towels.
The arse I’d tongued so thoroughly was naked now, and I bit my lip at the sight of his high, peachy cheeks. Was it too soon to rim him again?
If I hadn’t already known Noah was the one for me, itwould’ve been confirmed by the fact that he was still wearing his corset. I was willing to bet every pound in my new bank account that he’d left it on for me to remove.
I was going to drive him crazy while I did it.
He glanced back at me, his gaze immediately falling to my erection. He gave a small whimper. “Oh fuck, it’s even prettier in real life.”
I chuckled. “I’m glad you’re the person I gave my dick pic virginity to.”
Noah rolled his eyes with a laugh. “And there I was thinking you didn’t have any firsts left to give.”
His tone was teasing, with none of the censure from the previous times my promiscuity had come up. As he turned his attention back to the cupboard, I thought over his words. About all the firsts just waiting for Noah to accept them. Ones I’d never expected to give away, and certainly not this soon after coming topside.
Every single one involved my heart.
While Noah was distracted sorting through countless fluffy towels, I popped over to the sink to wash out my mouth. He might have plans for us in the shower, but if those plans didn’t involve more kissing, I’d be showing him how well a demon could pout.
When I was done, Noah was nodding in satisfaction as he placed two giant towels on the side. “There.”
“Why those ones?” I asked curiously.
His cheeks turned pink. “These are the fancy ones.”
I looped my arm around his waist, pulling him in close. “I’m worthy of the fancy towels? I’m flattered.”
His delicate hands splayed over my naked chest. “You can expect emperor level treatment if you keep giving me orgasms like that.”
“I don’t need that.” I kissed the end of his nose. “Knowing I’m giving you pleasure is good enough for me.” I spun him to face the mirror. Touching the satin ties at the bottom of his corset, I watched our reflection as I whispered in his ear, “Did you leave this for me to undo?”
“Maybe.” Noah batted his long eyelashes at me. “I guessed you’re the kind of male who likes to strip his men himself.”
I kissed his neck as I undid the first two eyelets. “Guessed, or hoped?”
“Prayed,” he admitted, his head falling back onto my shoulder. “Harder than I ever have in my life.”
“Well, I might not have divine power, but this is one prayer I’ll gladly answer.”
Noah’s breath hitched as I slowly unlaced the corset. I didn’t rush. I caressed every inch of skin revealed before moving to the next set of eyelets. My gaze stayed fixed on Noah in the mirror. On how his chest was rising and falling. How his cock was hard as rock again. How it twitched whenever my lips brushed his neck. On the silky lilac hair that I wanted to wind around my fist while I fucked him.
Noah was beautiful.Whether he was in his battle armour, casual clothes, or lacy lingerie, that didn’t change.
I wanted to both throttle and thank the fool who’d fumbled this angel. His loss was my gain, and there was no fucking way I’d make the same mistake as him. Whoever he was. I was going to worship Noah the way he deserved.
Once the final tie was undone, I let the corset drop to the floor. We stayed like that for a moment, both of us staring at our naked reflections.
Noah’s nipples were a dusky pink against his pale skin. While he was slender, his sinewy muscles were impossible to miss, and there wasn’t a single hair on his chest. Unlikemine, which was covered. From how Noah was rubbing his back against it, I didn’t think he minded.
The tight vee of his obliques pointed south to where his erect cock awaited. Thank fuck for a supe refractory period. Noah and I had many,manyfun nights awaiting us in future.
When we finally got there.
For the first time, I didn’t doubt that we would. Everything that had happened today and over the past few months suggested we were on the right path. The one that led to a happily ever after and a lifetime together.
It didn’t scare me anymore. How could it, when I’d be with Noah? I was starting to suspect I could weather anything if he was at my side. Even answering to a higher being again.
