Noah sighed and nodded, “Okay, I'll stay tonight. I'll bunk in the spare room.” He made to leave, but Allee wouldn't let go of his hand.

“No, stay with me. Don't leave me. I don't want the dreams to come back.”

Noah hesitated, torn between the soft request and the desire to be alone with his thoughts. He looked down at Allee and knew he wouldn't be leaving. He sat on the bed next to her and patted her hand.

“I'll be back up in a couple of minutes.”

“You promise you'll be back?”

“Yeah, I promise.”

Allee released Noah's hand, satisfied in her sleepy, drunken haze that he would keep his word. Noah went downstairs, grabbing Allee's keys as he walked past the key rack and unlocked the connecting door. He opened the garage door, went out to his car, and drove it in. After checking the front and back doors were secure, he went back upstairs, turning the lights off behind him. Piddle was his silent shadow, following close behind, and jumped up on the foot of the bed as Noah took off his shoes.

Finally, Noah lay down next to Allee on the bed, cradling her in his arms as he drifted off to sleep.

Allee was dreaming that Piddle was the size of a tiger and allowed Allee to use her as a pillow. She listened to the cat’s rumbling purrs and felt the heaviness of Piddle’s legs wrapped over her shoulders, the warmth of their combined bodies enveloping them in a cocoon. Allee shifted and drifted deeper into sleep as she felt herself pulled into a tighter hug.

Noah's nose was being tickled by something, making him want to sneeze. The sensation was enough to wake him up. At some point during the night, he'd moved under the covers, and Allee's legs twisted with his. Her arms were around him, her head on his chest, and his arms held her tightly to his body. A hank of auburn hair was lying across his face, and that was what tickled. Noah wanted to move, as the proximity of Allee's body was so enticing he found it hard to resist, but he was also worried that he might wake her.

He sighed deeply and instantly regretted it as Allee began to stir. Rather than pulling away, as he'd hoped, Allee turned towards him even further, bringing her hips into full contact with his. Noah winced at the pressure, his eyes flying down to Allee's. His breath caught in his chest as he waited to see if she would sink back into sleep or if she would wake.

Allee's dream had changed; she was no longer cuddled up to a giant Piddle but was instead being held by a sleepy, yet also aroused, Noah. She reached up to Noah's face, her fingers tracing lightly over his lips. His mouth parted slightly, and he swallowed convulsively. Allee slid her hands around the back of Noah's head, tugging his face down those last few centimetres to hers, and then touched his mouth with hers. Within the space of a heartbeat, three things happened; Noah deepened the kiss with his arms tight around her back, Allee realised she wasn't dreaming and that she wanted this to happen. She could feel Noah twisting his hips away from hers, trying to hide his arousal, and she arched her back so that their bodies were touching from chest to toe.

Noah moved one hand from her back, down to her waist, hauling Allee even closer, his erection pressing into her hip. Allee pulled Noah's jumper up, her hands sliding over his bare back, her fingers caressing the smooth skin. Noah groaned his enjoyment deep in his throat, and Allee flicked her tongue over his lips. Noah opened his mouth, sucking her tongue gently, before softly biting down on her lower lip. He pulled away, breathing heavily, his eyes glazed, his face flushed.

“Sweetheart, we need to stop now. You aren't ready for this. It's okay, I can wait.”

“I want this. I want you. I don't want to stop.”

Noah froze, his eyes widening as he scanned Allee's face for any nervousness or fear. He would find none. He slowly moved back, giving Allee some space, and when she made to protest, he shook his head. Allee waited, watching silently as Noah sat up and removed his jeans before pulling off his jumper. He then lay back down, clad only in his boxers, his cock visibly straining against the material. Noah reached out to Allee, one finger tracing along her collarbone, pushing the strap of her camisole to one side. He bent his mouth down, his lips and tongue following where his finger led, tracing feather-soft kisses over her skin, his beard gently scraping and scratching.

Allee's eyes fluttered closed, need pooling low in her belly, fire racing along her skin. Her stomach trembled as Noah gently tugged her top up over her ribcage, the material bunching up under her breasts. He dipped his head down, kissing along her stomach, his tongue dipping into her navel. Allee's back arched, and she tugged his head back up to hers, her mouth open and scorching as she fused her lips to his. Noah's hands, strong and calloused, gently moved up under her top, one stroking her back, the other softly caressing her breast. Noah lifted the material up and replaced his hand with his tongue. Allee moaned in pleasure, her hips bucking upwards underneath Noah's. He deftly pulled her top up over her head, tossing it to one side, and then moved his mouth to her other breast. Allee moved one hand down Noah's body, her fingertips lightly tracing downwards, following his treasure trail. When she reached the elastic of his boxers, she paused, and Noah lifted his head, looking her straight in the eye.

“We don't have to go any further if you aren't ready. If you want me to stop, I will,” Noah waited for Allee's response, his body tense. Allee answered by moving her fingers under the elastic, pushing Noah's boxers down over his hips, and then enclosing his swollen cock in her hand. Noah's hips flexed uncontrollably, moving within Allee's grasp. She flicked her thumb lightly over the rounded head, feeling the drops of moisture beginning to bead.

Noah pulled out of her grasp, quickly divesting himself of his boxers, then pulling Allee's pyjama bottoms down over her hips and legs before tossing them to one side. He fumbled for his wallet, pulling a condom from a hidden pocket, and then tucked it under Allee's pillow. Noah climbed back onto the bed, lying to one side, and gathered Allee to him. As she reached out, he kissed her deeply, stealing the breath from her lungs. Just as Allee’s fingers brushed against his flesh, Noah's fingers traced down over her pubic bone, threaded through the hair covering her, and glided over her clit. Her body went rigid with the sensation, then convulsed as he simultaneously began circling the sensitive nub with his thumb whilst dipping his finger into her hot, wet depths. Noah's mouth roved back to her breasts, gently nibbling with his lips. Allee's back arched up, feeling the tensions building inside her. Noah's fingers kept up a steady rhythm, and his mouth began to move down her body, past her navel, down to where her legs were splayed wide. He kissed down one thigh and back up, swapping to the other thigh, his fingers never missing a beat. Allee's breathing became disjointed, the onslaught of Noah's fingers driving her almost to breaking point.

Suddenly, Noah’s fingers stopped, but before Allee could react, he had spread her open to him and replaced his fingers with his mouth. Allee’s sensitised skin leapt, and the coil of tension that had been building inside her exploded. She cried out, wave upon wave of sensation crashing over her, her skin trembling and covered with goosebumps.

Noah shakily reached for the condom, opening it and sheathing himself with jerking movements. As Allee came down from her orgasm, Noah braced himself over her, one elbow on either side of her head. Tasting herself on his lips, Allee wrapped her legs around his waist. Noah gently eased himself into her, taking it slowly and letting her body adjust. Their skin was slicked and slippery.

As Noah sank fully into Allee, he stopped, holding himself still until she looked up at him.

“I love you, Allee,” he whispered quietly, “I would never have let this happen if I'd felt any other way.”

Allee stared up at Noah, tears pooling in her eyes. Her heart was breaking. It felt so full of joy. She knew that the last two weeks had only cemented her feelings for Noah and that she needn't be afraid or ashamed of her emotions any longer.

“I think I love you too, Noah,” she replied, her voice tremulous with emotion.

Noah smiled down at her, radiant, and then bent his head to kiss her. Their bodies moved together, sweeping them away to a place where only they existed.

Sometime later, Allee stretched her body, a small smile playing over her mouth.

“You look like the cat that got the cream,” Noah murmured, his hands sweeping over her ribs. Allee grinned, rolling back towards him, unselfconscious about their naked state.

“Mmm, I think it’s you who got the cream. In fact, I think you’ve still got a little in your beard. So, do you have any more of those little packets in your wallet?” she asked with a wicked grin as she swiped away the wetness lingering in his beard. Noah sighed and frowned.

“Unfortunately not. I guess I'll have to go out and get some more,” he winked, looking more carefree than Allee had seen him before.
