a way of being extremely mean while projecting niceness.
“Well,” Silas said, “I just wanted to check in on you two. Monika and I have a full night ahead of us, as I assume the two of you do as well.”
Noah grinned at me. I had been thinking about that all day, and I was wondering when we’d end up back in the room. Maybe we could actually do it on the bed this time.
“So we’re off,” Silas said, “unless you want to make it a foursome?”
Noah shook his drink at Silas, the ice rattled against the glass. “Get the fuck out of here.”
I danced with Noah for at least another hour. The buzz from the Pink Squirrels started to fade, but another warmth began to surge through me as I fell deeper and deeper into Noah’s seductive spell.
We danced close together, so close that I didn’t want to leave the warmth of the dancefloor and step out into the cold night, even if it meant making our way to the bed. The night had taken on a magical feeling, and even when I spotted Regina glowering at me from about twenty feet away, she didn’t diminish it. I just shot her a big smile as I rubbed my ass up against Noah and stuck my chest out. His hands ran up and down my body, and Regina scowled and turned away.
It became too much though. The clothes were too confining. Too limiting. We needed to feel skin against skin, and we soon were pushing the doors open and walking out onto the deck.
The ship was further north now, and even though it was late summer, the combination of open ocean plus higher latitude meant the nights were getting nippy. I looked down at my chest. Literally nippy.
Noah saw where I was looking and grabbed hold of my breasts through my dress. I giggled, but when his fingers gripped my nipples, I let out a soft moan.
“Do you think we can make it back to the bedroom?” he asked me.
“Which bedroom?”
“Mine, of course. Mine’s bigger.”
“I look forward to waking up to Naomi barging in again. Maybe I should hide under the blankets this time.”
“Whatever you do, don’t rip them off me when you do.”
“So you want me to roll onto the ground, naked and cold?”
“Maybe we can set you up a little nest of blankets ahead of time. I’ll put it on the floor. Throw some pillows down there. Then you’ll be comfortable when you roll down.”
I laughed, but I felt a little bit off about the whole thing. I knew it had only been a few days, and that Noah was incredibly protective of his daughter. He didn’t know for certain that this relationship would go anywhere. What if it just fizzled out? He might not know me well enough to know how seriously I was taking this, and he might worry that I wasn’t the kind of woman who was ready to settle down with a man who had a child.
It really only had been a few days. Was I willing to settle down with him? And with Naomi?
I hadn’t really stopped to think about it yet since we’d slept together. I felt like I would be willing. I found Naomi to be such a sweet and wonderful girl. Even when she was throwing a bit of a tantrum, she was still sweet. After she finished and got herself back under control, she’d always look at me and say something like: “I’m sorry, Miss Lacey Larsen, I just had to cry a little bit.”
And Noah? Noah was amazing. Was it lust? I didn’t think so, though the sex was so good that it might be able to completely blind me to everything else. Still, I didn’t think so. I found myself madly attracted to him when he was kissing my body or when he was inside me, but also when I saw him cutting a banana up into little pieces to give to Naomi. I felt a warm rush all through my body when I watched Naomi smiling at him and hugging him.
I didn’t know if it was even my place to want this, and it was perhaps too soon to know for sure, but I think I wanted to be a part of this family. Assuming things kept working out between us.
So rolling off the bed and lying to Naomi about what was going on between Noah and me was maybe okay for a while longer, but sooner
