He flicks open a button, and the flannel shirt drapes open, exposing the inner halves of my breasts.I rest my hands on his shoulders, trail my fingers down his chest.My gaze drops to his abdomen, to the button of his fly, and I wonder if I possess the courage to go there.
I don't know if I do, yet.
He undoes another button, and now only two keep the shirt closed.Another.I hold his eyes, swallowing hard and trying not pant with desperate fear as he slips the last button open.He cups the sides of my neck, under the curtain of my glossy black hair.His eyes ask the question, and my answer is to lean into him, curl my arms around his neck, and touch my mouth to his.
A soft quiet sound escapes him, then—part sigh, part moan.It is intensely erotic.
His tongue quests gently into my mouth, and I answer his moan with a shrill gasp of my own.I tilt one way and he the other, deepening the kiss as our mouths fuse and tongues tangle.
Noah slips his fingers under the shirt at my shoulders, fingertips tracing a line down my neck to the caps of my shoulders, subtly pushing the shirt backward.I bury my hands in his hair and roll my shoulders, letting the garment slip backward.Tug one arm free, and the other.
And just like that, I'm naked again, but for the thong.
Noah clutches my face, leaning into me, kissing me with a fierceness I can't quite believe.
And then he breaks, leans back.His eyes fix on my breasts."Fuck, you're beautiful."
I blush hard, cheeks burning."Noah."
"You are."His eyes flick from my eyes to my chest several times, as if he wants to make eye contact but can't quite rip his gaze away from my boobs; to be perfectly honest, I like that he can't stop looking."Breathtaking."
"I like how you look at me," I admit, whispering."A lot."
"I can't stop staring," he mutters.
I take his hands from where they rest on my thighs just above my knees and guide them to my breasts."So don't."
"I don't want you to think that I—"
I nip his lower lip to silence him, groaning softly when his hands gently squeeze my breasts, gasping when he scrapes his thumbs over my erect, sensitive nipples."No one has looked at me as an object of desire for a very long time, Noah," I murmur, arching into his touch."It feels so good to be looked at like that.To feel like you like what you see…it's a gift."
"Then allow me to shower you with gifts," he answers, letting his gaze rake over my body, lingering on my breasts, down to my belly, to the triangle of scarlet lace, darkened by the dampness of my arousal.When his eyes fix there, I stop breathing and the burn of my blushing cheeks is so hot it hurts.My heart is palpitating, pounding, crashing, thundering.
His hands roam down my ticklish, tender sides, pause at my hip creases again—he seems to like that spot.Already struggling with my breath, which now comes in short, shuddery gasps, when his thumbs slide inward and trace the gusset of my thong, I again stop breathing entirely.
"Hey, hey—breathe, sweetheart," Noah murmurs, the corners of his mouth tipped up in a half-smirk.
I can barely swallow past the tightness of my throat."T-trying."
"Would this help?"he nuzzles my mouth with his.
"Yes," I huff, the answer a soft sigh as much as speech.
He teases me with his lips, pulling away when I lean in, again and again until I mewl in frustration, leaning forward to crush my mouth against his, clutching the back of his neck in my hands so he can't pull away; I need his kisses to breathe.
When I burrow my tongue into his mouth, he growls softly.His thumbs slip under the elastic of the gusset, up high, at the curve of my hip crease.
“This okay?"he whispers.
I nod, my forehead rolling against his.
No longer kissing him, I hold his face in my hands and try to breathe as he presses his thumbs further inward, toward my center…toward my sex.
"Take a deep breath for me, Morgan."
I focus on breathing—inhaling slowly, filling my lungs and holding, letting it out slowly, slowly, through pursed lips, eyes closed.My lips tingle as oxygen floods my starved system.
"Again."I take another slow, deep breath.“Good, honey.Keep breathing.Close your eyes and breathe.It's just you and me.I want you to feel good."
