“You don’t know what you want,” I bite.

“Like you know any better.”

“You have a vibrator the size of a flash drive. That tells me enough.”

“It’s convenient and discreet,” she shouts.

That does it.

Noah crushes my lips with an intensity I’ve never felt. A powerful and intentional force that makes my heart race as he presses me against the side of the house. Each move is strong, confident, hypnotic. Every stroke of his thumbs against my jaw, throat, then down to my hips is like an overwhelming surge of emotion that leaves us both breathless.

And wanting more.

Suddenly, it’s three years ago and I’m living my fantasy.

His embrace is warm. No. It’s hot. Because Noah Reeves is on fire. Ignited with the passion I’d longed for him to feel for me.

I whimper under his demanding mouth, melting under his solid hold.

He pulls back with a sharp breath. “You think you’d like it rough?”

I swallow to find my voice. “If that’s any indication, then yes.”

Grabbing my arm, he pulls me inside the house and into his bedroom, slamming the door behind us.

His gaze is even, his face is blank. Hell, it’s like he’s not even breathing, while my chest is heaving uncontrollably.

“Are you scared?”

“No,” I answer quickly.

“Why not?” he advances but I make no move.

“Because it’s you.”

His features soften for a fraction of a second before hardening again. “But it won’t be with me, Charlie.”

“I’m aware of that,” I grit.

He scans me once before pinning me with his eyes. “Is this thing really happening? For once I can’t tell if you’re full of shit and it’s pissing me off.”

The fucking nerve.

“It’s happening.”

He inhales through his nose and twists like he’s conflicted, then rushes to my tote bag and digs around for three seconds. I’m astounded at how fast he finds what he’s looking for when it takes me two minutes to find keys with seventeen keychains on it.

Oh good. It’s my non-lipstick.

“This stupid thing isn’t going to cut it.”

I perk a brow. “I certainly hope not. Kind of banking on it being bigger.”

He closes the distance and backs me up against the wall. “Stop it.”

“If you’re trying to scare me. Try harder.”
