"I can't just move in with you, Noah." I gape at him. "I have things."
"I see that," he murmurs, scanning my living room. "Your shit will be fine, baby."
"Stuff."
A smile dances across his face. "Your stuff will be fine, baby."
"Stop calling me that."
"Whatever you say, baby."
"Oh my God," I groan, throwing my hands up. Next time I see Nash, I'm going to run him over with a Zamboni for sending this man to babysit me. He's impossible. And the more time I spend with him, the more I think impossible may be exactly what I like best. He's so freaking unflappable about it. It doesn't matter if I'm rejecting him or telling him not to do something or freaking out on him, it just rolls off him, and he does exactly what he wants anyway.
He steamrolls me in a way that doesn't feel like steamrolling at all. It feels a little like…letting someone else carry the load for once. It's been a long time since I've done that. I've been so hellbent on trying to prove to Nash that I can take care of myself that I've forced myself to carry everything alone.
Noah doesn't ask if he can help carry some of the load. He just does it. Even when I argue about it, he does it. That's dangerous. I could get addicted to it. Just like I could get addicted to the way he calls me baby.
I like it way more than I should.
"I'm going to pack," I grumble.
This time, I make it two steps before Noah stops me. Only, he doesn't halt me with words. He stops me with his hand on my arm.
"Dimples."
I'm not sure if it's his closeness, the last few hours, the lack of sleep, the fact that I've had a crush on him for years, or temporary insanity, but as soon as I feel his hand on my arm, the ability to think rationally vanishes in a puff of smoke. I practically launch myself at him, desperate to feel his lips against mine again.
"Fuck," he grunts, knocked back a step. His arms lash around me, dragging me up against the hard wall of his chest. His lips come down over mine, sending a wave of heat surging through me.
All the back and forth and worries and fear and doubts fall silent as pure bliss courses through my veins. It ignites my bloodstream, pouring molten desire straight into the very heart of me. I gasp against his lips, shaken to my very foundation by the intensity of his kiss and my reaction to it. By how desperately I don't want it to end. And by one simple truth…this man will consume me if I let him.
Chapter Six
Noah
Aspen wraps herself around me, kissing me as if she needs me more than she needs air. I thrust my hand into her hair, anchoring her to me as I lick into her mouth to get another taste of her. She's the sweetest little caramel morsel, far more addictive than the coffee she serves up or the scones she bakes to perfection.
I run my free hand down her back to her round ass. She whimpers when I squeeze one plump cheek in my hand, testing the weight of it. I want to smack it to watch it bounce and jiggle. I already know it will. Christ, I want to see it when it does. Preferably with her stretched out over my lap, moaning my name.
Her teeth sink into my bottom lip, delivering an impatient, impertinent little bite.
My dick imprints itself against my zipper.
I growl, boosting her up into my arms. Packing her shit can wait. I need to know what this goddess sounds like when she's coming all over my tongue. Right fucking now.
"Where's your room, Dimples?"
"Hall," she gasps, wrapping her legs around my waist. Her hands delve into my hair.
I plant both hands on her ass, charging down the hall with her. The first door we pass is a bathroom. The second is a small office. The third is her bedroom. It's not much bigger than the office, but it's calm and comforting.
I kick the door closed to keep Brick out and then march toward the bed. Fluffy throw pillows land in a heap on the floor as I drop her in the middle of the bed. She cries out, startled. Before the sound even dies, I'm on her again, taking her lips in another deep kiss.
Jesus. I can't stop kissing her.
"I want to taste you. Tell me I can." I break away from her lips, leaving a trail of kisses down her throat.
"I…I…"
