I’d told myself I wouldn’t cross that line again.

But I couldn’t bring myself to stop.

It felt fucking amazing.

I gripped the back of his head and Noah deepened the kiss, sliding his tongue into my mouth.

As our tongues flicked against one another’s, I let out a moan, then ran my hand down his back before reaching his arse.

‘Fuck, Ali.’ Noah growled, his hard cock pressing against my stomach. ‘We should stop…’ he pulled away slowly ‘…otherwise I’m gonna end up shagging you here in front of all these people.’

I almost told him to go for it because I didn’t care.

Wait.

People.

I sprang back then looked around. I’d completely forgotten that we were standing in front of a packed restaurant. I couldn’t believe we’d just snogged each other’s faces off in front of everyone.

‘Should we continue this back at the hotel?’ Noah suggested.

‘Yes,’ I said quickly. ‘Let’s go.’

NOAH

You’ve got to admire my optimism.

The fact that I thought I’d be able to wait until I got back to the hotel to continue kissing Ali was the definition of delusional.

Even though I’d been waiting for years to kiss her, somehow waiting another second seemed like a lifetime.

Once we’d double-checked with the hostess that the bill would be settled by the hotel and called the driver, who thankfully was only two minutes away, we’d literally sprinted to the car.

And the second that the door closed our lips crushed together.

When the seatbelt alarm started sounding, we’d scrambled to strap ourselves in without our lips being separated, which was a struggle, but we eventually managed it.

Our mouths and hands went everywhere.

Her hands raked through my hair, down my arms then across my chest, whilst my hands roamed across her back respectfully. I was already grateful to be kissing her. I didn’t want to scare her off too soon by crossing too many boundaries too quickly.

‘Touch me,’ she moaned into my mouth.

My dick instantly jerked at the generous invitation.

‘Sure?’ I’d asked.

‘Yes. Wherever you want.’

She didn’t need to ask me twice.

My mouth trailed along her neck, before dragging the thin strap of her dress down with my teeth.

‘Holy shit,’ I growled as I took in the sight of her with her lace bra on show. Never had I been more grateful for the illumination that came from the street lights.

There was so much I wanted to do to Ali right now. It was like I’d been taken to a buffet with all of my favourite dishes and I didn’t know which one to devour first.
