Chapter 9

Noelle

By the time we got back to my house, I was pleasantly buzzed. And no, my tipsiness wasn’t due to the amount of spiked hot cocoa I’d consumed.

Well, okay, that was one of the reasons.

The second one? It had everything to do with Dax and this thing that had been brewing between us all night. The tension that had started the moment I’d walked in on him half-naked with his tattoos on full display. The tension had grown even stronger when I’d looked down that expanse of incredibly gorgeous skin to see his smooth, defined chest and equally defined abs. From there, the bulge in his jeans had told me that he’d noticed me noticing him.

And he’d liked it.

We’d both gotten out of that room as quickly as humanly possible. Thank goodness he received the call from his captain because we were obviously dancing with trouble. But then, during the Fireside Hangout, the tension had returned. It was there when he slipped his finger down my jaw. There when I leaned into him like a cat anxious for scratching. There when he’d kissed me toward the end of the night, up against the wall.

And that right there, the buzz in my brain from the alcohol and the answering buzz in my veins from Dax himself, was the only excuse I had for what I did the moment we were through the door and in my house—where we’d agreed we should come, just to keep up appearances.

I turned, closed the door, and then pushed Dax up against the wall and kissed him. For real, this time, and just for us. Not because we had an audience. Not because Jon was there and we were trying to make him jealous or because Dax’s mom was watching and we needed to keep up appearances or because someone else had come to congratulate us and had insisted on us giving each other a kiss.

No, this time, as I pressed up against him, bringing my entire body into contact with his and reveling in every square inch of his hard form, my mouth on his and my hands in his hair, I was doing it all for myself. And for him. Because I’d seen his eyes all night, and I’d seen how much he wanted to kiss me.

For real. Not as fake boyfriend and girlfriend.

He broke away and frowned down at me. “Are you sure?” he asked, breathing heavily, his eyes dark with desire. “This will… It’ll change everything, Noelle.”

“Yes.” I kissed him again, opening my mouth and inviting him in, pulling his hands down to cup my ass and running mine back up his chest. He didn’t have to ask, though, I was glad he had. It proved he was a gentleman.

But I was sure. Yes, I was half-drunk and buzzed on being around him all night, but that didn’t change the fact that I knew what I was doing. I wanted him. And I wasn’t planning to take no for an answer.

This was Dax.
