bet you would be a great house daddy." She waggled her eyes at him as she started backing away as he moved toward her with intent. She laughed and moved faster when he kept coming at her. "Don't be like that." Then her back hit the wall with an oomph and he pressed his advantage, close enough to feel the heat of her skin through her clothes, then he had her pressed between him and the wall behind her and she was looking up at him with eyes rounded in surprise, her breath catching. "Noah?"
Her scent blended seamlessly with the scents of the greenhouse, until he felt as if it surrounded them. He leaned his face down next to her neck and breathed her in reflexively, his hands going to the wall on either side of her, he watched as her eyes dilated and humor shifted out to make room for something else, something he liked seeing even more in the depths of her green eyes, and in the flush of her creamy skin. Desire. For him.
He ran his nose up her neck to just behind her ear and breathed her in again. She gasped and he pressed forward until he could feel those luscious breasts firm against his chest.
Noah forgot all about teasing her then. He had been playing, but this was something altogether different. He looked at the smooth curve of her neck beneath his mouth and wanted to bite it so bad he could already feel the taste of her in his mouth. So he did, biting just hard enough that all her nerve endings sparked, but without breaking the skin. Her head fell back and another gasp fanned out against his hair.
"I don't remember the last time a woman teased me the way you do," he said, his words dark and low. He saw the goosebumps form along the neck he was currently studying and he felt her shiver.
"Probably too scared you'll take it the wrong way, and do that broody thing you do so well,” she answered, a little breathless and a lot challenging.
"But that doesn't worry you?" he asked, pulling his head back only far enough to meet her eyes. Her dark green eyes that she tried to hide from him by looking away. He nipped her lip in warning and her eyes shot back to his. Temper sparked in their depths along with the other heat she didn't want him to see.
Her eyes narrowed at his intimidation tactic. "You need to be teased and often," she stated boldly. "And broody doesn't scare me."
The heat in the depth of hers met the heat he did not try to hide in his own and she sucked in a hard breath as sparks flew between them.
"Good," Noah growled.
Before she could say anything to that his head shot forward and he took her impossible soft mouth. She opened for him immediately with another gasp, and he took more, thrusting his tongue inside to catch as much of her taste as he could. Claiming territory, he knew in his gut he intended to fucking keep, no matter that it was too soon.
He slanted his head for a better fit, exploring the heat that rose up between them like his life depended on it. And maybe it did. He could not remember the last time he did more than go through the motions with a woman to scratch an itch. Not Emma. This woman made him feel alive. He pushed his hand into the hair on either side of her head to hold her just how he wanted. She groaned into his mouth and he growled in answer, taking her deeper, wetter. She held nothing back, and Noah was fucking going to take everything he could get.
Behind Noah something crashed to the floor and he wretched himself free of Emma and whirled with a snarl ready to defend them both. His eyes searched the space, seeing no one and cataloging everything for possible threats. Meanwhile he could hear Emma breathing hard behind him, her hand on his back where it had fallen at his move. There was a long silent moment before he felt the tension in his neck ease. No danger here. He had to remind himself he was not back there but on a lavender farm in Little Town, CA. USA. No danger here. Fuck.
He turned to find Emma's eyes on
