Chapter 0178
But still, I couldn’t help myself. Without even really thinking about it, I raised myself up onto my tiptoes and planted a kiss on his cheek. “Really, I murmured. Thank you.”
Noah’s face reddened into a ripe tomato. I went to pull back, still holding the box in my hands, but suddenly his own hand shot out–and wrapped around my wrist.
Before I could even fathom what was happening, he was yanking me toward him. The box fell from my hands and to the tile floor with a clatter, and my towel, too, came loose. Just one movement, and I would be entirely nude in front of him.
“Noah-“I choked out, but it was no use. The words wouldn’t come; not with his body pressed up against mine like this, not with his fingers looped around my wrist. And especially not with his chest heaving and nostrils flaring like a stallion in heat.
Wordlessly, he reached his other hand out and tugged my towel free with one finger. It pooled at my feet, exposing my flesh–pink from the heat of the shower–to him.
For an eternal, breathless moment, we just stared at each other. His green eyes roamed the nude expanse of my body, making me feel both bashful and heated at the same time. My pelvis felt like it might explode with desire, my clit instantly swelling beneath his gaze.
I opened my lips to utter his name again, but it was too late–with a low growl, he was suddenly lifting me from
my
feet and carrying me over to the bed, throwing me down onto the edge, and ripping the front of his shirt open.
A gasp escaped me as buttons went flying and scattered across the floor. Before I could even comment on it, he was working at his belt next, unbuckling himself just enough to slide out his hot, throbbing manhood.
Only one moment passed between that instant and the next one moment in which he gazed at me, an asking look in his eyes. One moment that I nodded stiffly, biting my lower lip, and spread my legs,
Another growl worked its way through his throat, and he pressed himself between my legs. His warm member hovered there for only the briefest of moments before I felt it pushing against my soft lips, sliding inside..
I wanted this. I wanted it, no matter how hard I tried to pretend that I didn’t. And I didn’t fight or say at word as he pushed himself into me; I just propped myself up on my elbows, tracing my fingers along the broad expanse of his chiseled abdomen, as he filled me for the first time in far too long.
But he didn’t kiss me. He didn’t lower himself to my lips, didn’t run his tongue along my throat; he just pushed himself into me, shut his eyes, and…
“No.”
Before I could think twice, I was shoving him back, away from me, away from every part of myself. I was on my feet in an instant, grabbing my towel from the floor and wrapping it around my nude body. “Hannah-”
“Get out,” I said. “We can’t be doing this.”
