I chuckled. “I guess not.”
Silence filled the air with only the sound of the TV playing lightly in the background. It wasn’t uncomfortable at all. I wanted to say more, but I didn’t know where to start.
“I’m sorry too,” I blurted out.
He lifted his gaze to peruse my face. “For what?”
“Not taking the threat seriously. I assumed it wouldn’t be as serious as it was, and I put everybody’s lives in danger. It won’t happen again. I’m going to take a chill pill on all of my going out.”
His lips lifted slightly. Was that a hint of a smile? I liked it.
“Nah, you’re good. I don’t think you could go too long without getting into something, especially with the friend group you hang around.”
I snorted. “Boy, please. I’m the queen of finding a new hobby. My girls will just have to understand.”
“Speaking of, it would be best if you didn’t tell them about what happened at the club.”
I nodded. “Yeah, I will not tell them every detail of what happened. Not only is it not their business, but they have parents who wouldn’t hesitate to make an example out of you. I don’t want you to get in trouble. I like you.”
He shook his head. “That’s that liquor in your system again, huh?”
“No. I’ve been attracted to you since you walked into Dad’s office. You’re fine as hell.”
His tongue slid across his bottom lip. “I’m dangerous, Sunni.”
“Maybe I like a little danger, Noble.” I placed my hand on his thigh.
He licked his lips. “I don’t mix business and pleasure.”
“You’ve already said you would kill for me. What’s a little sex sprinkled in going to hurt?” I asked as I climbed into his lap.
His large hands wrapped around my waist. “Sunni.”
“Noble.” I placed my hands on his shoulders and gazed into his light brown eyes. Those beautiful orbs told a story of their own. He had seen a lot of things in his life. I wanted to hear them all.
“Your emotions are high. You’re still visibly shaken from the incident earlier. I cannot in good faith give you what you want when you could sober up tomorrow and regret it all. I’m not the type of man to take advantage of a woman.”
I wanted to beg him to fuck me. I wanted him to knock all the fear and trauma out of my body and tell me he loved me.
The more I thought about it, the more things became clear: I was delusional and needed to calm the hell down.
I hung my head low. “Fine. I’m too cute to beganyman for dick, so I’m going to chill. If it’s meant to be, it will be.”
“Right.” He shook his head.
“But . . .”
I leaned forward and gently kissed his lips. My eyes closed slowly as the feel of his soft lips touched mine. My breathing changed. My heart nearly stopped. My clit throbbed with need. The seat of these boy shorts wouldn’t contain my juices much longer.
These feelings fromonedamn kiss. Noble was a dangerous man alright.
I pulled away and licked my lips.
“Sunni, what the hell was that?” he asked as he wiped the corners of his mouth.
“What was what?” I replied with a sly smirk.
He nodded once. “A’ight. You can go to bed.”
