He glances at my bedroom door as if checking to see if anyone else is listening. “Noah’s had the most trouble fitting in. Especially with the women.”
That surprises me. Though Noah seemed as nervous as me on my first day.
“The women try to baby him or ignore him because he isn’t as aggressive as the rest of us.”
I raise my eyebrow. Noah is not passive at all. Cooper laughs.
“Aggressive is the wrong word. Socially aggressive. He’s not afraid to take what he wants, but he doesn’t always feel comfortable around some of the women we’ve hired or dated in the past.”
My gaze goes to my open apartment door. Noah was my first connection and still is. Whatever is growing between us is strong. I don’t like that those other women underestimated him or dismissed him.
“He likes you. A lot.” The statement is matter of fact.
I return my gaze to Cooper’s pale blue eyes. The single light he turned on over the sink barely illuminates the area. He puts the lid on the ice cream and moves it to the side. He gives me a wicked grin.
“Lie back.”
I lower myself onto the island and take a breath as the coolness of the stone meets my heated skin.
“I promised to warm you up.” He drags my panties down and off. I have nothing to hold on to when he pulls my hips closer to him. His breath against my pussy is the only warning I have before he closes his cold mouth on me.
I gasp at the sudden chill, but his tongue warms me up quickly as he explores my folds. He goes slow, like he has all night to go down on me. My desire grows steadily with each touch. As he slides a finger inside me, he sucks on my clit. My back arches off the island as all my focus goes to what he’s doing between my legs.
The nightmare has long faded from my mind, melting away as he told me about them growing up. Now all I have is the fire they always stoke in me. The fire Cooper stokes in me. He’s gentle but insistent, always building toward the peak.
He adds another finger inside me as he strokes his tongue around my clit. I’m almost there when he draws his fingers out of my pussy and presses one into my asshole. I explode with the sensation. My eyes squeeze shut as he keeps me on the edge and then drags me over into free fall when his tongue presses inside my pussy. I can’t breathe as my climax ripples through me.
Removing his hands, he drags me down onto his lap and captures my lips. I can taste myself on his tongue as he explores my mouth as thoroughly as he licked my pussy. His cock is hard and ready between my legs beneath his boxers. I reach for him, but he captures my hand.
“No, sweetheart. Not tonight.” He kisses me and lifts me back into his arms as he carries me back to the bedroom. My panties and the ice cream stay forgotten on the island.
I start to protest about leaving them, but he kisses me, making me forget everything else until he lowers me onto the bed.
“Time to sleep.” He leaves me to go into the bathroom. Seth draws me back into his arms. Noah takes my hand and presses it against his warm heart. My breath catches and releases. I’m safe.
Chapter 20
Noah
Madison
I wake up nestled against Noah again. The morning light comes in through the window. My thigh rests over his hip, and my nightgown bunches around my waist. His hard cock presses against my pelvic bone.
I turn and don’t see anyone else in the bed or the room.
“You okay, kitten?” Noah’s usually rough voice is deeper this morning.
I nod. No more nightmares.
He rolls me onto my back and rubs his hard cock against my pussy. I gasp. Only his boxers are between us. I left my panties on the kitchen island, or maybe Cooper retrieved them after he put me back to bed.
“You’ve had me hard all morning, kitten, lying next to me with no panties.” He strokes up my thigh to tease my clit with his fingers. Circling it. Stroking it. Making me wet and achy. Needy noises come from the back of my throat. When he finally thrusts his fingers inside my pussy, I arch against his hand. “You up to helping me with this?”
I moan as he angles his finger to hit a spot that makes my toes curl. Eagerly, I reach for his boxers. Fuck, yeah, I want to help him with it. I push his underwear over his hips and spread my legs for him. He shoves his boxers out of the way before he thrusts his cock into me. I gasp at the delicious sensation.
He holds steady for a moment, our bodies pressed as close as possible. Our breaths in each other’s ears.
“Do you want it slow and easy, or hard and rough?” His voice in my ear sends sparks winding down my spine.
