BO DRAGGED ME DOWN THE hall and shoved et into another brawl I barely had time to look around before Noah had pulled me into his arms His mouth was fastened on mine before I could draw another breath Who needed air? I had Noah Jackson As his lips hts of air and jerks in suits and even the fight were replaced with i hiainst ht scene came back, and I ie my hands and come in for another kiss, but I wouldn’t let him "Stop Let me look at you"

He stood there for acut across his eye had been glued together There were bruises on both cheeks and his nose looked a little crooked on the end He’d showered off the sweat and blood, but I could see bruises on his chest and stoed abdo at the top of his towel, and he sucked in a breath

"Oh no, did I hurt you?" I snatched ainst hiht now, I can’t feel pain anywhere except right here" He patted the tented towel "I need you so bad" He scoopedup my skirt aroundthe delicate fabric, nor did we care when tiny pings sounded as sequins hit the floor, torn away by the rough caress of his hands He carried h to hold a paper cup and rested rowled, his large, bruised hands furabbed one of them and led him over to the lone bench in the room

"If you want this, let erly He sat down, and the action caused the towel to fall froed I sed thickly at the thought of hi down my panties, I laid them next to him

Noah picked the the scent of ht now, it turned me on Every action he exerted showed me how much he wanted me It was my turn now to show hia knee on either side of his hips Before I could make the luscious descent onto his erection, Noah paused h?" He slid a hand between ripped his shoulders as he stroked htly

"Y-y-es," I choked out

"Just checking" He sounded s because he cupped my butt with one hand and carefully loweredin the empty room

Noah pulled down the fabric of my bodice and my bra until one ripe, swollen nipple popped out He bent down and latched on, sucking as much of my breast and nipple into hisout the other breast until the scoop neck of my dress was shoved as far down as possible and both breasts were exposed, pressed together by the constraints of the fabric

"God fucking damn, look at this," Noah said worshipfully He pressed his face into the deep valley betweenthem all over, the tops, the v, and the nipples

His handshtly, pushing htly so that I could feel every ridge and pulsing vein The rit his teeth in an effort to not co else from the uncomfortable bumps on the terry cloth towel to the hard wooden bench faded away as I lost myself in the sensation of Noah’s touches all overmotion, and he rubbed his swollen hands across my back, up to my shoulders, and down around my butt

One hand crept to the front, and his thu out before I could stop it Not wanting everyone and their cousin to hear us, I bit down on the fleshy pad of runts and the sounds of our fleshof the wooden bench

"You’re everything to one to say anything With his thick, stiff dick rubbing against the front walls of ainstht afterme, which caused my own muscles to clamp down on him once more He muffled the cries of his own satisfaction in ainst him His arms came up like steel bands and locked me in place, and we rocked there silently for a few uys should probably come out now," Bo called, hu quiet weren’t very successful Noah lifted me up and then set s and then hinant if we aren’t more careful," Ithe towel in the corner "Or we could just wing it" His eyes gloith a strong emotion that could’ve have been love or want or both

"Or we could just wing it," I replied softly His return smile was brilliant We’d handle whatever life threw at us whether it was bad professors, bigger fighters, or even unplanned pregnancies--because our love was stronger than all of those foes

We dressed and Noah slipped the Christed dress

"Is this why you accepted the gift without a fight? You figured I’d be wearing it led into the war me like an embrace

He threw on his suit coat and pulled down the sleeves of his dress shirt so that the white cuffs just peeked out underneath the superfine wool He looked utterly delicious

"No, I accepted the gift because I’rabbed the lapels of the winter coat between his fists and draggeda kept ularly"

From another person, this staten of his acceptance, not just of n of his true surrender to our love
