memory of the intense feeling I had last night flits through my mind. The pressure, the need is growing inside me. I'm moving faster, and Noah's hands on my hips are helping me up and down, leading me into a whole new rhythm. I'm right there, about to explode, and just as I do, he pulls my mouth to his and drowns out the scream I can't help but release. As I finish, I feel his body jerk and spasm in my arms. For the moment we're both satiated. Although we arrived together, neither of us makes a move to break away.

"I just got an email from Cooper," I tell Noah as I climb into bed and snuggle up next to him after drying off from our shower and second round of the night.
"Oh, yeah? Is he having a good time?" He asks pulling me into his arms and kissing my neck.
"He didn't say. He wants to make sure we're getting along. Wait till he hears how well we're getting along."
Noah pulls back, "I thought we were keeping Cooper out of it."
"Yeah, I forgot. Sorry." I hope he can't read the disappointment in my eyes.
Noah runs his fingers through my hair. "We'll tell him, Lexi. Just not yet. Not now."
I nod. It was my stupid idea to suggest we could walk away from each other at the end of this, or that Cooper never has to know. I can't imagine ever walking away from Noah, and the one person I most want to share that with, the one person that knows and understands him the best is Cooper.
An uncomfortable quiet wedges between us.
"I mean it, baby. We'll tell him. No, I'll tell him. But it's got to be man to man, face to face."
"You don't think he'll get mad if you tell him in person?"
"He's going to blow his fucking top, and I could care less. At least if I tell him that way, I know I'm doing the right thing."
I feel slightly better, but I understand that planning to tell Cooper later might translate to not telling Cooper at all.
"Hey, Lexi? You don't have plans for Saturday night, do you?"
I shake my head. "Why are you looking to ditch me for the weekend?"
"Very funny." Noah sits up, "I wan't you to go shopping tomorrow, my treat. Buy the sexiest dress you can find, because Saturday night we're going public."
"Public? What was today?"
"Public as in with my friends. Minus Coop. I'm supposed to go to a wedding, and I want you to come as my date."
Chapter 14
Noah
The past few days have been amazing. It's all because of Lexi. She's smart and funny, and her body . . . The more I see of it, of her, the more blown away I am. The sex is great, too. Nah, it's not great, it's out of the world spectacular. She gets me hard with a look, or accidentally rubbing up against me. And when she's cuming and screams my name, I can't help but explode inside her.
I hesitated asking her to escort me to the wedding, not because I don't want to be seen with her, quite the contrary. I don't want anyone opening their mouth to Cooper before I have a chance to. Even the threat of him finding out doesn't deter me. I want the world to see her on my arm. Not just because I'm head over fucking heels for her. I want every guy that eye fucks her to back the fuck off, because she's mine. Lexi Sutton is one hundred percent my girl.
"You need to go get ready, and wait for me to make my grand entrance," she teases before disappearing into her bathroom.
She wouldn't show me the dress, wouldn't shower in my bathroom, and outright refused to get dressed in my room. What bothers me most is Lexi wouldn't even let me pay for the dress. She claims she had a credit on her card, and so it didn't cost her anything. She thinks I want to pay out of some sort of obligation. She doesn't understand, I want to give her the world and spoil her.
It's been two hours since she disappeared into the shower. I can't imagine what's taking so long. I hope she's not going crazy with make up or her hair. She's gorgeous as is, she doesn't need any of that junk girls use to try and make themselves look better.
