THIRTY-FIVE
Noah
After we pull into The Bar, I park and hop out. Once inside, the music is louder than normal and the girls are singing along like they’re the only ones here. Seeing her so happy and carefree makes my heart skip a beat. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Luke beeline to Am, and I quickly follow him.
As soon as Luna’s eyes meet mine, they light up with an emotion I’m not ready to name. I’ve known from almost the moment I met her that she would be important to me, but my feelings for her surpass anything I’ve ever felt before.
“Hey, baby, did you have a good night?” I ask as soon as I’m by her side and bend down to kiss her. As soon as the kiss breaks, she nods her head.
Carter talks to Abs, but she looks over his shoulder toward the door like she’s looking for someone.
Weird.
I meet Luke’s eyes across the table, and he just shrugs.
“Alright, everyone, is the tab paid?”
The girls say yes at the same time and break into giggles.
“Okay, let’s head out,” I say and help Luna from her chair.
As the girls say goodbye to each other, I tell the guys to let me know when they get home, and I take Luna to the truck.
“Why is your truck so tall?” she asks as she looks around. “Actually, why does everyone have a tall truck? Even Am’s Jeep is tall.”
I pick her up and set her on the seat. Stepping on the running board, I lean across her to buckle her in and hear her sharp intake of breath.
“Maybe you’re just short?” I tell her before I shut the door and walk around to my side to hop in.
Her eyes are on me as I start the truck. “I’m not that short.”
“No, you’re perfect. You just need a boost every once in a while, but that’s okay.” I smile as I pull onto Main Street.
“Can I ask you something?” She tries to turn in her seat to face me.
“You can ask me anything, baby.”
“Can you teach me how to give you a blow job?”
My breath catches on an inhale, and my foot leaves the gas. I turn my head to the side to look at her. “You want to suck my dick, Luna?”
Her expression is serious as she licks her lips and nods.
I turn back to the road and speed up a little bit. I feel the center console start to lift. “What are you doing?”
“I want to sit closer to you.”
“Luna, I’m going to need you to sit in your seat until we get home.”
I hear her unbuckle her seat belt and feel her next to me.
“Luna,” I growl.
“Yeah, Noah?” she says as she places her hand on my leg, and I have to focus on anything other than how her hand feels.
“Do you know what you do to me?” I tell her and grab her hand, bringing it to my dick.
“The same thing you do to me, I’m guessing,” she says slightly breathlessly.
As soon as my street comes into view, my heart goes into overdrive.
Getting home in record time, I park and turn toward her after unbuckling.
I pull her on my lap and pour my emotions into the kiss.
Her tongue twirls with mine, and as I break the kiss, I nip her lip.
“Here’s what we’re going to do. I’m going to carry you inside and take you to our room.
Then I’m going to see if Sam is staying or if he’s leaving, and then I’m going to lock up, and you can have your wicked way with me. Okay?”
Panting, she nods.
Pressing the button on the side of the seat, I scoot us back farther and then open the door and slip us out. She wraps her legs around my waist, and the heat of her pussy radiates through my jeans. I kick the truck door shut and go to the house.
Once inside, I carry her to our room as Sam walks into the house from the backdoor.
I set her on the bed. “I’ll be right back, baby. Give me five minutes.”
She kicks off her boots and shimmies out of her shorts. “Don’t take too long.”
I’m frozen at the sight of her in just her tank top and underwear. But I turn on my heel and head to check on Sam, shutting the door behind me.
Sam’s pacing the length of the living room.
“You good, dude? Is something wrong with Jess?” I look around, slightly panicked for a second.
“What? No, she’s perfect. I’m fine. Did Carter take Abby home?” His words come out in a rush.
“Uh, yeah. Abby asked him to, and he said that’s why you guys drove together, just in case she needed a ride home.”
“Right. Okay. Are you good? I have to go.” Sam’s hands are balled into fists at his sides, and he looks like he’s ready to bolt.
What the hell is happening?
“You know if something is wrong, you can talk to me, right?” I tell him.
“I’m fine, or I will be. I’ll text you,” he says and walks out the door.
I stare at the closed door for several seconds, confused, before I walk over and lock it as he pulls out of my driveway.
Shaking my head, I walk to the fridge, grab a couple of water bottles for Luna tonight, and rush back to be with my girl.
After I peek into Jess’s room and see that she’s sleeping peacefully, I open my bedroom door and turn to close it.
“Hey, baby, I got you a water.”
I don’t hear anything, and when I turn back around, Luna is starfished in the middle of my bed, passed out. I fight back a laugh as I set the water bottles on her side of the bed. I brush my teeth before shedding my clothes and climbing into bed with her.
Like always, she rolls over and curls up into my side. I softly kiss her forehead, letting my lips rest there for a second. “I love you,” I admit to both of us in the quiet of the room.
She hums a sound of contentment in her sleep and burrows deeper into my side.
While it isn’t the way I thought my night would end less than ten minutes ago, I can’t help but smile because of how amazing my life is as I fall asleep.
