Noah’s gaze met mine, a light within him making his green eyes shine. “Don’t be. He’s an asshole. I’m glad you didn’t have that experience.”
From upstairs came the muffled sounds of Codie and Stray fucking. There was an entire floor between us, and still I had to listen to this shit on a regular basis. I was surprised Auryn hadn’tmoved down to Casper’s old room yet. He was right down the hall from them.
“Damn,” Noah commented, staring up at the ceiling. “Sounds like they’re having fun. Should we give them a run for their money?”
I let out a bark of laughter. “Absolutely not. I have no interest in broadcasting my sex life to the rest of the house.”
“Because you want to keep me a secret?” Grasping my chin in his hand, Noah pulled me in for a kiss.
It was so easy to melt into him. To forget about everything but his touch. Having him there in my bed felt right. Like right beside me was where he belonged. Feeling that way left me confused as hell. He literally caused a car accident for me tonight. What the hell was I thinking?
“I don’t think you’ll be a secret much longer,” I said. “I’m pretty sure everyone knows.”
Noah pulled back to search my face. “Are you okay with that?”
I wasn’t ashamed to be with a man. What made it so complicated was that it was Noah. Our longtime enemy. I wasn’t sure I would ever be able to completely trust him. There was so much bad blood between our groups. Between the two of us.
“I guess that depends. Where do we go from here? Can we trust each other? How do I know this isn’t your way of getting me to let my guard down?” Too many questions. They spilled out to hang between us.
With a nod, Noah leaned back against the headboard, running both hands through his disheveled dirty blonde hair. “I can ask you the same, Dom. You’re not the only one with questions. I keep asking myself what the fuck we’re doing here. I keep thinking that it’s all a mistake, but I don’t want to stop.”
I hated that he pulled away from me. So badly I wanted to touch him again.
Swallowing my pride, I said, “I don’t want to stop either. And I don’t know what the fuck we’re doing, I just know that I like doing it. I like you. Even though I also hate you. Does that make sense?”
Noah’s laughter was the perfect sound. He rolled his head along the pillow so he looked at me. “I get it. I feel the same way. I want you, prince. I want you to be mine. Now that I’ve had a taste of you, I don’t think I can walk away.”
My stomach flipped several times in response to his words. Aside from the high school girlfriend I dated for six months, I hadn’t been steady with anyone. Once the Kings and I really boomed with our business, my focus had been elsewhere. I was happy to be with my friends running our business and partying. We were young. I figured I had plenty of time to meet the right person. It would happen when the time was right.
Was the time right? Was this any more than a passion fueled hate fuck?
At the very least, I owed Noah the truth right back. Turning to face him, I said, “Whatever the hell this is, I don’t want to walk away from it either. I’ve never really—”
I cut myself off before finishing the sentence. I’d been about to admit something I wasn’t sure I was ready to say. Unfortunately, Noah had heard enough to put it together.
“You’ve never really been with a man before,” he finished. “Like ever?”
“I’ve been with one. But I never had feelings of any kind for him. Nothing like whatever this is.” My face grew hot. I suddenly felt on the spot. The way Noah looked at me now didn’t help.
He sat up straighter, his interest piqued. “And I’m guessing you’ve never bottomed before.”
“No,” I confirmed. “I wasn’t sure I would like it, and I never trusted the one guy I was with enough to try it.”
“What about now?” he quirked a brow, a playful smile toying with his lips. “Do you trust me enough to try it?”
He was asking me to put myself in a vulnerable position. I was torn, wanting to refuse simply to avoid an awkward situation, even though at the same time, I was aching to know what it would be like.
“Trust you?” I repeated with a smirk. “You’re kidding, right? You crashed my car tonight.”
Noah leaned over to run a hand down my bare chest, pressing his lips to my shoulder. “I thought we were past that. Let’s not forget that you blew up my car. I’d say that’s worse.”
He continued to kiss his way along my chest, pausing to flick my nipple with his tongue. My cock immediately grew hard. I sucked in a breath as my pulse quickened. Even though I was nervous, I was ready to let him show me what I’d been missing.
“Fair enough,” I murmured, my voice breaking as he continued to kiss, lick, and suck his way down my body.
Noah’s fingers sank into my pec as he grabbed a handful, squeezing tight. Slowly, he dragged that hand down my body, his short fingernails scraping along my skin. When he reached my hard cock, he wrapped a hand around it. Gliding back and forth until I moaned. Getting me good and worked up.
Shoving my legs apart, he cupped my balls, holding them out of the way as he flicked his tongue over my hole. I sucked in a sharp breath and held it. I hadn’t expected it to feel that good. He continued to tongue my ass, pressing the tip inside me. Son of a bitch. He was blowing my mind.
