Noah POV :
As I pulled Lily against me, I moaned in to her mouth, savouring the feel of her lips against mine. I had wanted to kiss her from the moment I had first laid my eyes on her, and it was even better than I had imagined. Her mouth tasted sweet, almost like honey. Threading my fingers through her hair, I couldn’t help but smile against her lips, desire shooting through me and Lily certainly wasn’t helping the situation. Her arms were wrapped around my neck, pulling me in. And her body was pressed tightly against mine, almost like we were one person.
After a minute, we both pulled back, gasping for air. Holy hell… I muttered, staring in to her eyes. I’ve wanted to do that for a while.
Mmm, Lily sighed, looking up at me with those gorgeous grey eyes.
I leaned forward, pressing my forehead against hers. What are you doing to me ? I whispered, thinking about the desire I felt for her.
It was like nothing I’d ever felt before. Sure, when I first met her, it was all about getting her in to my bed. But after spending time with her, I realized that I didn’t just want to her to be a one night stand.
It’s funny, she whispered back, our foreheads still touching. I was just about to ask you the same question.
Reluctantly pulling away from her so I could see her face, I smiled when I saw the expression she had. Her blush was tinting her cheeks a subtle red and her eyes looked glazed over. What are we doing ? I asked, taking hold of her hand and entwining our fingers.
She squeezed my hand, briefly looking down at the ground. Crap ! Now I was starting to get worried. But when she looked back up at me, my worries vanished. She was smiling, a hint of amusement in her eyes. I don’t know, she answered. I mean, when we met I thought you were a jack ass.
Oh well ! I huffed, Way to ruin a moment.
I just smiled as she burst out laughing. She stepped forward, our chests almost touching. Noah, you may still be a jackass, but I think there’s more to you, she whispered seriously. But if you’re looking for a one night stand, I’m not your girl.
Looking down at her, I frowned. The whole reason I had started pursuing her was just to spend a night with her, to get the desire I felt for her out of my system. But as I looked in to her beautiful grey eyes, I realized that I didn’t want that anymore. I wanted to know her, be with her. So I leaned forward, smiling at her. You’ve gotten under my skin Lily, I whispered, my lips hovering just an inch above hers. I’m willing to take this slow.
Are you sure ? she asked, looking up at me with a small smile.
I’ve never been more sure of anything, I grinned, surprised at how true that really was. Now, I think we’d better get back to the fair.
Really ? Lily smirked at me. I was kind of enjoying it back here.
I grit my teeth and shook my head at her, trying to suppress the urge to pull her against me and have my way with her right there in the field. Oh no gorgeous. We have to go back to the fair, right now, I whispered, barely managing to get the words out. Because if we don’t, I’m afraid that I’ll just take you right here.
Lily looked up at me with wide eyes, her cheeks going an even deeper shade of red. It was satisfying to see that she only seemed to blush around me. Noah… she murmured, biting her lip.
I just stared at her, the desire crashing through me in waves. Grabbing her hand, I pulled her around the corner and in to the bustling crowd, before I ravaged her right there. Anything you wanna do ? I smiled, watching Lily gaze around the fair ground with a huge grin on her face. We’ve got about ten minutes until we have to go and meet Jen and Pete.
How about the Ferris wheel ? She replied, nodding over to it.
Looking in the direction she was nodding, I cringed. Heights really weren’t my thing. Uh, I mean If you want to, I suppose I stuttered, before Lily laughed, interrupting me.
Are you afraid of heights tough guy ? She giggled, bumping her shoulder against mine.
I looked down at her, trying to hide my discomfort at the thought of going up in the Ferris wheel. What ? No, I’m just, well you know Fine ! Heights may freak me out a little, I admitted, folding my arms in annoyance when Lily burst out laughing again.
It’s not funny ! I whispered, trying to hide my embarrassment. It’s a very rational fear. What if the Ferris wheel collapses or one of the carts flies off.
Aww, is the little college boy scared of the iddy biddy Ferris wheel, Lily smirked, staring up at me.
But as she spoke, I noticed that she moved closer, stepping up to me so our chests were touching. I felt a stir in my groin, and I closed my eyes. How does she do this to me ? Just one touch and she gets my blood pumping, and my heart racing. I flinched when I felt her breath against my neck. Don’t worry college boy. I’ll protect you, she whispered, her breath brushing against my ear.
I opened my eyes and looked at her. She was standing on her tip toes, and she was smiling at me, a twinkle in her eye. Ok, I muttered, the word almost getting lodged in my throat. I had a feeling she could tell me to wear a bin bag to college, and I would do it.
She nodded, satisfied, and grabbed my hand, pulling me towards the ferris wheel at the other side of the fair. There was practically no cue so Lily and I went straight through the barrier. Have fun guys, the teenage girl manning the booth smiled at us as we passed.
Yeah, thanks, I muttered, my heart racing as I looked up at the wheel. Holy shit ! That’s high.
As we stepped through and came to an empty cart, I hesitated. My palms were sweaty and I felt cold, despite the sun shining above. I gulped, thinking about having to go so far off the ground. You look kind of green. Are you okay ? I heard Lily ask beside me.
I glanced at her, feeling slightly better when I saw the concerned look on her face. Yeah, I’m ok, I smiled, trying to reassure her (and maybe myself too).
We don’t have to go up there, she smiled. Let’s just go on something else. How about the haunted house ?
No it’s fine, we’ll go on this, I nodded, determined. It wouldn’t bode well for my manliness if I can’t go up on some stupid ferris wheel.
Only if you’re sure. But I wouldn’t worry about your manliness, she whispered next to me. You look pretty manly to me.
Turning around to stare at her, I saw her arch her brow, an amused look on her face. God she looked cute ! I just grinned at her as she took my hand and walked in front of me, leaning forward to step over the barrier to get in to the cart. My eyes immediately darted towards her ass. As she climbed over, her sweats moulded to her shape, showing off her killer curves. Damn ! I’d agreed to wait and take it slow, but I wanted nothing more than to go over to her and just rip her clothes off. But, I didn’t want to screw this up, so I was willing to do anything, even if it meant suffering in silence. As she let go of my hand, I took a deep breath and stepped over in to the cart.
Jeez, I muttered as it wobbled when I stepped over.
Just don’t think about it, Lily said beside me.
I looked over at her and nodded, trying to focus on anything but the slow swinging of the cart. Suddenly, it jerked, moving slowly backwards as it rose higher. My hand shot forward, gripping the bar in front. I was gripping it so hard that my knuckles were turning white. Gulping, I looked around to see that we were rising high above the park. The surrounding fields were clear to see, filled with people having picnics, walking their dogs and throwing Frisbees. Holy crap, we were high. As I felt my heart beat begin to accelerate, I felt Lily’s hand suddenly on my knee.
Turning towards her, I stared. Focus on something else, I thought over and over. So that’s what I did. I focused on Lily, and the way the sun made her blonde hair glisten. And the way her grey eyes were looking in to mine, making sure I was okay. I looked down at her lips, noticing the way they were slightly parted. As I focused on her, I felt my heartbeat decelerate. Breathing out slowly, I smiled at her.
