I blinked, shocked. “I had no idea.”

His throat bobbed as he swallowed. “It maderealize that she might not have our best interests at heart, even
though she claims to be our friend. I've been distancing myself from her since then.”
He paused, then added, “I'm glad that Drake was there that night. If it had just been Zoe who was ‘helping me
look for you, | fear... | fear | wouldn't have found you at all. Drake was relentless in trying to find you, even
putting his own life in danger. It madesee him in a whole new light. And it made her behavior all the more
stark.”
I leaned against Noah's shoulder, warmed by his confession-and his understanding. “So, what are you going to
do about Zoe?” | found myself asking.
“Ill talk to her tomorrow,” he said firmly. “I'll tell her that if she doesn’t clean up her behavior, she can’t be part
of our inner circle anymore. No more parties, no more dinners, no more visits. She can be a part of Nightcrest,

Relief washed over me, thick and heavy. | must have let out a loud breath, because Noah straightened, cocking
his head. | shook my head and murmured gratefully, “You've changed. In a good way.”
Softening, he placed his hand on my belly, right over my own fingers. “I had to change,” he murmured. “For both
of you.”
Then, Noah stood, offeringhis hand. “Con, | want to show you something.”
He ledinto the nearby woods, along a familiar trail. My mind flashed back to the night | had told him I, didn’t
want to have his baby, right here in this very spot. But now, as we walked hand in hand, those memories felt like
they belonged to someone else. Worlds away.
We emerged into a small clearing that | hadn't visited in stime. It had a large oak tree right in the center, its
branches thick and full with summer leaves. Fireflies danced through the air, lazily resting on the grass between
shafts of pale blue moonlight. The grass appeared freshly mown, dipping in sspots where deer had rested
overnight.
“I was out for a walk the other day and stumbled upon this place,” he said as we stepped into the clearing. “I
haven't been out here for so long, I'd almost forgotten about it.”
| turned slowly, taking it in. “I haven't been here in a while, either,” | said. Although I did remember walking here
with him when we first moved in. He seemed to remember, too-apparently, only our shared past leading up to
our marriage went forgotten in his mind.
Noah smiled, shrugging off his jacket and laying it on the ground. He sat down, patting the space beside him. |
lowered myself carefully, nestling against his side as we both looked up at the night sky.
“I was thinking we could build a little treehouse in that oak tree someday,” he mused, his fingers tracing lazy
circles on my arm. “Once our kid is old enough.”
| grinned at the thought. “That sounds... perfect.”
Noah turned on his side, his eyes sparking with those tiny fires. He grabbed my chin and gently pulledcloser,
our lips meeting in a tender kiss.

Tender at first, at least. But soon it grew more fervent, more yearning. Before | knew it, | was sitting up and
straddling him on the ground, hiking my gauzy dress up around my hips. His eyes widened.
“Hannah, what are you-
“I want you,” | murmured, leaning down to brush warm kisses against his cheeks, his jaw, his neck. “I need you.”
Noah let out a soft growl. | felt warm fingers slip beneath my skirts, brushing against the fabric of my lacy
panties. He strokedthere in slow, gentle circles until my legs were trembling, the lace soaked.
Just before | reached my peak on top of him, he unfastened his pants and slipped into me, swift and lethal.
| sat up, back arching, a shuddering howl slipping free from my throat as he filled me, Gasping, | clamped my
hand over my mouth, eyes widening as | realized what | had done in my moment of ecstasy.
But Noah just continued to thrust himself deeper and deeper, inch by glorious inch, into me.
“Howl all you want, baby,” he huffed as he pushed himself all the way to the hilt, until | thought | might split in
half from the size of him. “I want everyone to know what we do when they're not watching.”
