pause over the thought. It had never occurred to me to question his fidelity until tonight. I’m stupid. We haven’t had sex in ages, where did I think he was getting it? Sadly, it doesn’t even bother me. It does make me think of getting checked out though, just in case my thoughts are true.
I sigh and type out a text to Alex asking him to pick me up. It’s unfair to wake him because of my stupidity but Boo left the club with a man too, so she may not want to be pulled away.
The screen lights up with a message. He’ll be here in a few minutes. I put my phone away, locate my shoes and put them back on. The balls of my feet burn and I curse the amount of dancing I did last night. Making sure I have everything I arrived with, I walk out into the hallway.
Noah’s sitting on the stairs, elbows resting on his knees. “Leaving?” His voice is sleep ridden and sexy as sin, much like the half-naked torso I can’t tear my eyes away from. We’d barely been asleep an hour before I left his bed and I thank my lucky stars I don’t appear a complete mess and didn’t have time to get morning breath.
“I thought it was best.”
He stands up and stalks towards me. “Well, you’re wrong.”
My heart rate picks up as he approaches. When he reaches me, his hands cup both sides of my face and he still smells incredible. “I need your number.” He speaks softly.
I shake my head out of his grasp. “There’s no need to pretend this is more than what it is.”
“I’m not.” His penetrative gaze burns into mine. “If you think last night was enough to appease my hunger for your body, you’re very much mistaken.”
And I’m wet again. “Oh.”
He laughs deep and throaty. “There you go with ‘oh’ again.” He grazes my cheekbone with his thumb. “Can I have your number? Please .”
Outside, crunching gravel and the sound of an engine signal Alex’s arrival. “Do you have some paper and a pen?”
“On the table.” He gestures to one in the hallway. I rush over and quickly scribble down my number. “I’ve got to go.”
“Come here.” He pulls me against him and his erection digs into me, sending anticipation flooding through me. “You feel that?”
“Yes.” My voice comes out as husky as his.
“Good.” He kisses me hard on the lips. “See you soon.” He releases me, leaving me breathless and burning for him.
I take in a shaky breath before responding. “Bye, Noah.”
He passes by me and opens the door, giving me a lopsided smile. “I’ll be in touch.”
“Okay.” I scoot out the front door to the safety of Alex’s car. I don’t regret the night and I don’t regret giving him my number, but with the way he makes me feel, I fear for my heart.
Noah pauses at his front door, his brows pinch together and his smile fades a little.
“Good night?” Alex grins at me from the driver’s seat drawing my attention from the magnificent nakedness I can’t help but drool over.
The heat of embarrassment burns my cheeks. He shouldn’t be dealing with me doing this sort of thing. I look away from him and out the windscreen. “Yes.” Noah’s gone.
Alex must pick up on how uncomfortable I am and remains quiet. My phone sounds with a text alert. I fish it out of my bag and see a message from a number I don’t recognise, but I know it’s Noah.
Unknown : You were wonderful.
Unable to control the rush of pleasure I feel with his words, I smile at my phone. I save his number and quickly return it to my bag. But the text makes something bother me. I turn to Alex. “How did you know how to find me?” I hadn’t texted him the address. I couldn’t, because I don’t know it.
He looks a little unsettled for a second. His jaw tics and he grips his fingers around the steering wheel.
“I followed you here last night. It’s my job to keep an eye on you.”
If anybody else had done the same, it would be creepy. But with Mac on tour, Alex is my bodyguard—not that I need one when Mac’s gone. I
