“This is to remind you of how you kicked the ocean’s ass,” Noah says, sliding it onto my wrist. “You stood on a goddamn surfboard even though you were scared, and you overpowered that fear.” I blush as he adjusts it to fit. “Perfect.”
Noah takes my hand in his and pulls me close to him. “Thank you for being here. My family love you.”
“I lovethem,” I insist. “Especially, Gabby. She’s a force.”
“She had two testosterone-filled older brothers growing up, so had to become a force.” His eyes fill with pride and gloss over to something more seductive as he leans closer. “My whole family is the best. But I don’t want to talk about them right now.”
I swallow. “What do you want to talk about?”
The room is dimly lit by the lights, the brightest being Noah’s sparkling eyes. He’s watching me with an intensity that threatens to buckle my knees, my breaths becoming loud and uneven.
His gaze dips to my mouth. “I don’t want to talk unless it involves filthy words coming from your mouth.”

NOAH
I’ll be gentle
Millie’s pupilsdilating is all I need to see to make a move.
I lean down and press my lips to hers and she lets out a tiny, blissful moan at the contact. The sound shoots straight to my balls and our lips start to move against each other’s, her hands gripping the front of my shirt.
She’s a great kisser. Her lips are the perfect amount of soft. She teases me by sliding in the tip of her tongue, before retracting. It drives me crazy, and I respond by digging one hand into her hip, smoothing the other around her back to grip her nape. I angle my head to get more of her, steering her backwards towards the bed, feasting off the breathless gasps escaping her mouth.
She pulls back to look up at me. “At least it’s a real bed this time.”
I smile, my gaze drifting to her swollen lips. “Is this what you want?”
“Yes. You?”
I tighten my hand at her neck. “You have no idea how much.”
I’m not sure how we got here, or what this means going forward, but I know I desperately want her. I know I need to talk to her about where my head’s at, but right now, all I want to do is enjoy this.
I kiss her cheek, peppering my way slowly down the side of her neck. Her body surrenders to me, and she tilts her head, breathing loudly.
“How do you want it, Maelstrom?” I whisper in her ear. “Slow? Fast? Do you want me to fuck you so hard the neighbours hear you scream my name?”
She exhales a shaky breath. “Can we do all of the above?”
I snicker. “Gladly.”
I bend down and grip the back of her thighs, hoisting her from the floor. She squeals and wraps her legs around my waist, kissing my neck as I walk us the rest of the way to the bed. When I reach the edge, I slowly lower Millie and she lies down, staring up at me.
Silently, I unbutton her shorts and slide them down her silky legs. She’s wearing a lacy black thong, and I can’t stifle my groan. “Damn.”
Millie giggles again. “I was presumptuous wearing these, wasn’t I?”
“You’re a sneaky little minx,” I scold mockingly, kneeling over her. I guide her arms above her head and remove her shirt, exposing a matching lace bra and I tut under my breath. “You are so fucking hot.”
Millie bites her bottom lip, watching as I drink her in. “This hardly seems fair. You’re still fully clothed.”
“Let me enjoy this view,” I insist.
Millie cackles again. She seems elated, lying half-naked underneath me. “Noah . . .”
I jump off the bed quickly, shucking my shirt in one fluid motion, followed by my shorts, so I’m left in a pair ofblack briefs. Millie’s gaze darts below my waistline to my dick practically bursting through the material.
