I’d thought not having any ties would finally give me the happiness I’d always craved, but that wasn’t true.
Happiness would come from being tied to the right person. My mate.
Noah.
My gaze met Noah’s in the reflection. I wasn’t sure what he read on my face, but he cleared his throat and carefully extricated himself. “Let’s get in the shower.”
The smile he gave me as he extended his hand was bright, but I could sense him pulling away. There was something stopping him from falling as fast as I was, but what? Noah knew what was scaring me, but what had him on the run?
I swallowed my questions as I followed him into the shower. Now wasn’t the time. We’d only been on a handful of dates.
I needed to slow the fuck down.
He drew me into his arms as we stepped under thespray. His lips found mine, his sweet taste hitting me as potently as it had the first time.
Lucifer, I will never get tired of this.
When we were both panting, he reached down and grasped my cock. His small groan had me throbbing in his hand.
“Oh goodness,” Noah breathed, his delicate fingers exploring my shaft. “This is going to stretch me so well. I can tell.”
I bit back a moan as his thumb found a sensitive spot. “Do you prefer to bottom?”
“I’m vers with no preference. You?”
“Vers also.” There was no hiding my moan this time as he pulled back my foreskin, revealing the sensitive head. “Which basically means I’m desperate to do anything and everything that’ll make you scream.”
“Perfect.” Noah sank to his knees. “Because right now, I’m dying to get my mouth on you.”
His golden eyes burned hot as he held my gaze. He didn’t look away as his tongue swiped along my length.
Electricity shot up my spine. I flung my arms out, bracing one against the wall and the other on the glass shower wall. Water turned to steam on my skin as my demon rose. “This is going to be embarrassing.”
Noah paused, his lips an inch from the head of my cock. “How so?”
“Because I’m going to shoot the second you put your mouth on me properly.”
Heat stirred in his eyes. “Don’t worry. I’ll take it as a compliment.”
He didn’t even give me a chance to take a breath before he wrapped those full, pretty lips around me. My chestconstricted as my toes curled. I sucked in a few shallow breaths, trying desperately not to come.
Noah might take it as a compliment, but I wasn’t rushing this. I wanted to memorise every detail. To return to it every night we spent apart over the next month. There’d be no more travel for me once this trip was done. Seeing Noah today had solidified my decision. I couldn’t be parted from him again after this. Not for that long.
What I truly wanted was to cancel my next trip too. What was the point in going when I’d be leaving my heart back in London?
Now wasn’t the time to bring that up. Not while Noah was blowing me as though his life depended on it.
“You’re so good, sweetheart,” I said as he took me into his throat. “Fuck, Noah. Give me everything.”
He doubled down, his head bobbing as he sucked me harder. One of his hands caressed my balls while the other went to my crease.
I gave an inarticulate shout as one of his graceful fingers found the puckered circle of skin. The telltale tingle begun at the base of my spine.
I gritted my teeth.Not yet, damnit.
I focused on Noah’s face. The beauty of his expression. The intensity of his concentration.
It’ll be so easy to fall in love with him.
