Ember

It started with a kiss

Soft, sweet, intense He held me like he loved me

Noah Brennan was everything I’ve ever dreamed about in a ht his brooding silence was a mystery to solve

I know better now

Noah is filled with passion

A possessive desire to doet hihts, desires My heart and body My entire soul hungers for him

After watching my oldest brother, Arsen, fall in love with Marina, and then Kol, fall forto take what I want I’ my heart yearns for

Taking a deep breath as I stand on the front porch of Noah’s condo, I raise my hand to knock only to be stopped short when the door opens and there he is Standing in a pair of gym shorts, bare feet, bare chest, ever present scowl and scorching green eyes

“Em” He shortens my name like we’re familiar with each other Truth is, we shared that one kiss six et him to say tords to me ever since then

“Noah” I gasp for breath He does that to s to him

His gaze slides leisurely up and down ain, a sexy s here E up my neck and into my face

For the first tiure out where we stand, I haveto look behind me, I don’t see an extra car in his driveway, but I have to wonder if he has a woman over now

Thankfully the dark night coversIt doesn’tyou, Detective” I can’t even say his name because I know my voice will hitch and he’ll know exactly why I’m here
