planted a kiss on his cheek. “Really, | murmured. Thank you.”
Noah's face reddened into a ripe tomato. | went to pull back, still holding the box in my hands, but suddenly his
own hand shot out-and wrapped around my wrist.
Before | could even fathom what was happening, he was yankingtoward him. The box fell from my hands
and to the tile floor with a clatter, and my towel, too, cloose. Just one movement, and | would be entirely
nude in front of him.
“Noah-“I choked out, but it was no use. The words wouldn't come; not with his body pressed up against mine like
this, not with his fingers looped around my wrist. And especially not with his chest heaving and nostrils flaring

look in his eyes. One moment that | nodded stiffly, biting my lower lip, and spread my legs,
Another growl worked its way through his throat, and he pressed himself between my legs. His warm member
hovered there for only the briefest of moments before | felt it pushing against my soft lips, sliding inside..
| wanted this. | wanted it, no matter how hard | tried to pretend that I didn’t. And | didn’t fight or say at word as
