Noah checked us into a king sized suite on the top floor. I kept my head down even in the elevator. I was lucky the bellhop was coming with us or I think my punishment would have started there.
The room was pretty nice and spacious. It had a sitting area, kichenette, large bathroom, and a 65 inch flat screen TV. I heard the heavy door close and the bolt lock into place.
"Shower. Quickly."
"Yes, Sir."
I wasn't expecting him to say that. I wanted to ask him to join me but I knew this wasn't that type of shower. I quickly tip toed around Noah, not wanting to agitate him any further. As soon as I shut the bathroom door I felt like I could take a breath. The fan was loud and the light unflattering but I decided to not look to closely in the mirror and just start the shower. I heard the TV come on, some sort of news or sports cast. I could hear clearly ESPN playing because Noah must have turned up the volume on the TV, which made me nervou
After Noah took care of me this morning, making sure to shower me carefully and put the soothing balm on my raw skin on my ass, we headed back to my home.I knew my mom had a donut cushion I could sit on from when she had surgery to remove her hemorrhoids. My butt was bruised and still stung. It felt similar to sunburn. As soon as the Uber driver stopped I shot out my door, needing relief from sitting on the leather seat in the SUV that picked us up from the hotel.Not even knocking or waiting for Noah, although I could hear him growl my name, I pushed inside calling out for my mom."Right here, Holly. What's wrong? Where's Noah?""Nothing. He's fine. I need that donut cushion you used to have." And since she is a hoarder I know she still has it."Oh. Okay." She looked surprised but didn't ask questions. "Let me go grab that for you. Wait here."My mom went up the stairs and disappeared as Noah s
Noah refused to look at me, let alone talk to me. I could understanding his anger towards my family for suggesting he was abusive towards me, but I wanted to remind him that he was; with my consent. He typed away on his laptop as I saw in the opposite aisle on a comfy leather oversized chair. I was yawning and feeling guilty for not having my own laptop out. That's if I still had a job. Do I still have a fiance? Do I still want one? "Tea, miss?" "No, thank you." "Mr. Talon insists. He says hot tea is calming." I looked up at Noah, his head still buried in his screen. When did he do this? I hadn't seen him so much as say hello to the flight crew. "And water. He insists on you drinking water." She handed me a Fiji water bottle and a mug with an herbal bag steeping in the steaming hot water. I sipped on the tea while it was still scalding hot. The warmth did comfort me. I don't know when or how but I must have fallen a
I woke up determined to get everything back on track. Noah had texted me goodnight last night. He also said all Non Disclosure Agreement documents had been signed, so I was free to talk freely with my family."How are you? How come you didn't call me when you landed?""I'm fine mom. I'm home safe and sound. Is that Kate in the background?""It sure is. Wait a second while I put you on speaker."My mother was being more attentive and caring towards me than she had ever been in my entire life. I know she loved my father, but she has become a better mother with Jimmy around, I also think Kate being pregnant has something to do with it."So, is there anyone else there that hasn't signed a NDA form yet?""Nope, just us 2 gals here. The men are out. Jimmy has a standing appointment with his barber, even though he has no hair anymore. I think he just likes to chat and keep up with everyone. Javier on the other hand is interviewing for a u
I hadn't done any work since this whole world wind romance, proposal, and possible break up had happened. Which wasn't good since we didn't have a lot of time to do what had been asked of us at the Board meeting.I logged onto my beta account and noticed I had a few private chat requests and messages. Messages? When did we add email to this. It was supposed to be live interaction.There were 4 messages, one from the night Noah asked me to marry him. No congratulations, just a simple message updating me on the process of the project. It should be the other way around, but I wasn't complaining. I missed talking to Adam.---------------------------Subject: Adding E-Mail
Time felt as though it were suspended. Adam's lips were gentle yet firm. His arms around me kept me from falling, but not too tight that I felt like he wouldn't allow me to leave if that is what I wanted.I felt his eyelashes tickle my face. I opened my own eyes too. It was like staring into the eye of a hurricane. Everything around us could be a disaster, but we were safe with each other.I could feel his lips smile as we closed our eyes and my feet gently touched the floor. He cradled my head with one and put the other hand on the small of my back. That's when things started to heat up. Adam kissed with an open mouth waiting for a moment to strike and get his chance to slip in his tongue. But I decided to suck and tug on his bottom lip. It was even more erotic than I could have imagined. And the noises he made when I did it made me wet. He moaned and groaned; music to my ears.He tried to back me up but we hit the bottom stair. I fell back but his
Adam growled in my ear when he caught me, making me instantly wet. He grabbed me and fell back on the bed so I was on top of him.Both of us had goofy smiles plastered on our face. His tongue darted out, wetting his lips, making them look even more inviting. His eyes devoured me. I wasn't all dressed up like a doll for display but he saw me. It was like he had x-ray vision. I watched him as he looked up and down my body. My hips moved, his hands on each hip. He gripped me harder, digging his fingers into my flesh."Holly, stop."Was he joking? Was he closer to his brother than I had originally thought? I could hide the disappointment on my face."Holly, it's not like that. If you do that, I'll do x, and that leads to y, which ultimately leads to sex and this is not how I want our first time to be." He had thought about our first time together? "I want to take you out on a proper date. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, I just want to wine and dine you.
Adam's POV of previous chapterHer lips were on mine. I could live off of the taste of her. I loved how she knew I was coming over so she probably just brushed her teeth or took a swig of mouthwash and ran downstairs not realizing she doesn't look perfect. But to me, that's when she looks perfect. I wanted to keep her in my arms but I was careful not to hold too tightly and remind her of my brother.She was breathtakingly beautiful. I wanted to watch her enjoy our kiss. I watched and was taken aback when her eyes opened looking directly into mine. It was the most intimate moment of my life.I was hers. In that moment, it didn't matter that she still had my brother's engagement ring somewhere in this house. It didn't matter what they had done together. I could care less what the media and my father would think. In that moment, I knew I loved her.Holly had me wrapped around her so tightly and she didn't even know it. My heart,
I wake up feeling only a tinge of a hang over. Moaning, I turned over on my side and saw Adam. His body still above the covers, his arms crossed, keeping his hands to himself. It didn't feel weird to have him in my bed. Shouldn't it feel weird? I was the one being a creeper, watching him sleep. His eyes shut, his perfect lips just parted a little bit as he slept on his back."You like what you see?" Adam said without opening his eyes. I almost jumped out of my skin. Shit! I had been caught."Fuck, Adam! You scared the shit outta me."He laughed and turned on his side towards me with his eyes open. "I don't see any poop but I can't inspect you properly with these blankets in the way." He didn't move a muscle, leaving it to me to give permission or not."I didn't shit myself, Adam. Obviously." I rolled my eyes, "but if you need to check and make sure, by all means." I had one arm craddling my head and put the other one up in the air.
