The night air teased my open jacket, helping cool some of the heat rushing through me, and I filled my lungs with the faint pine scent. I’d never admit it to Mac, but I liked the noise and insanity he brought.
The silence reminded me too much of years spent in forced quiet because Craig couldn’t afford any distractions. I’d never been an extrovert, but I remembered being an affectionate kid. My dad had never turned down a hug. Even on his worst days, he’d squeeze me so hard I thought I’d pop.
The memory left a bittersweet ache. I couldn’t change my past or the way it had shaped me, but I could choose chaos now if it made me happy. Mac made me happy. Shaw, D, Eva, even RJ. They made me happy.
Chloe made me happy.
I stared up at the stars visible past the trees and let the crazy night wash over me. Chloe knew the worst part of me, and she’d offered comfort. I hadn’t expected to test my limits so fast, but seeing that asshole with his hands on her had forced me to claw back control by the barest margin.
She hadn’t shied away or tried to stop me. Chloe had seen my temper firsthand, and she’d still let me touch her—still invited me inside.
What the hell was I doing making boundaries like I couldn’t trust her? As if I had the right. She agreed to a relationship, asituationship, and I’d insisted on taking things slow like it would provide some kind of security.
Fuck security. I didn’t need reassurance—I needed her.
I shook out my hands and headed for her door. Chloe answered mid-knock, like she’d been waiting. I stared at her, letting the space between us fill with the good intentions I’d abandoned. The weight of what I should do threatened to crush me, so I let it all go and stepped toward her.
“Changed my mind.”
“Thank god,” she breathed as she launched herself at me.

Noah caught me with ease, and kissed me like he’d never let go. I’d been willing to do things his way—slow and steady—but this was a million times better. My dress hiked up to my hips as I locked my legs around his waist.
His fingers tightened in my hair, tugging my head back so he could slide his mouth down my throat in a burning caress as he maneuvered us into my apartment. The door slammed, then my back hit the cool wood with the solid breadth of Noah holding me in place.
I yanked off his tie and clawed at the buttons of his suit shirt. The pants stopped me because I couldn’t figure out how to get them open on my own with his tongue tracing patterns across my collarbone.
All at once, the bow behind my neck came untied, leaving my breasts as the only thing holding the top up. With one nudge from Noah’s chin, the silky material slid away to pool around my waist with the rest of the dress.
A pleased rumble came from Noah as he captured one nipple in his mouth. He flicked the tip with his tongue and an electric jolt shot through me. I abandoned his pants to bury my hands in his hair. As I writhed against him, Noah shed his jacket and shirt in a pile on my living room floor.
Distantly, I wondered if I should warn Eva in case she came home tonight, but the concern quickly floated away on a wave of pleasure caused by Noah’s wicked mouth. He moved to the other breast, dropping his pants and whatever else he was wearing.
I didn’t check. I slid down Noah’s gloriously naked body until I came in contact with the hard length of his cock. He shifted forward, pinning me to the wall, and my mouth dropped open with a nearly silent moan.
My body was an inferno, and Noah’s touch drove the flames higher and higher. He knew just how to kiss and suck and move. I couldn’t hold a thought in my head, rapidly cycling through prayers to various deities and nonsense phrases like a short-circuiting toy.
The only thing between us was a scrap of lace from my thong, and at this point, it was so wet I might as well have worn nothing. I tilted and rolled my hips, panting as I hit the bundle of nerves with every upward stroke.
“God, Noah, don’t stop,” I moaned.
He chuckled and released my nipple to blow on the wet heat he’d left behind, all the while maintaining the tortuous rhythm against my clit. My body spiraled tighter and tighter, and right when I hit the peak, Noah plunged two fingers inside me.
“I’m not going to stop, and you’re going to come all over my hand like a good girl, aren’t you?”
His rough voice in my ear sent me over the edge. My nails dug into his scalp, and white starbursts exploded behind my closed lids. I rode out the orgasm squeezing Noah’s fingers as he fucked me with an unrelenting pace, sighing his name on repeat.
When the last shudders stopped, he didn’t let me down, despite my legs turning to jelly. Simply slipped his fingers free and palmed my ass again to hold me up with one arm. The benefit of lusting after a guy who could bench press two of you.
I opened my eyes to his cocky grin, not a sight I got to see often, though he’d definitely earned it in this case.
“You’re beautiful when you come, but nothing beats hearing my name on your lips when you tighten around me.”
“I can think of something.” To illustrate my point, I reached between us to grip his rock-hard shaft, spreading a drop of liquid across the tip with my thumb.
“Bed,” he grunted, hauling me away from the wall and carrying me into my room.
