Finding You - Page 13/87

Noah smiled the sweetest smile as he placed his hand on the side of my face. “I knew the moment you first looked into my eyes, you were it.”

Grinning, I raised my eyebrows. “Oh yeah? What about on the beach? I saw you checking out my ass. You sure you weren’t all about that booty?”

Laughing, Noah shook his head before his eyes turned serious. Searching my face, Noah’s mouth turned up into a slight smile. “I was all about those eyes . . . those lips . . . that smile that makes my knees weak . . . your amazing laugh that rushes through my body and instantly makes me happier. It’s even your smart-ass remarks you make when I least expect them. You’re it for me, Grace. If I were to ever lose you again, I’d lose all control. I wouldn’t be able to live and breathe without you.”

Noah pressed his lips to mine as I let myself get lost in our kiss. Pulling back slightly, Noah spoke against my lips. “I love you, Grace Johnson.”

Smiling, I replied back. “I love you the most, Noah Bennet.”

Kissing me gently, Noah slowly pulled his lips back when we both needed air. “Impossible,” he whispered.

Noah and I spent the next forty-five minutes sitting on the grass leaning up against a tree in the parking lot of Target, talking about our future. Noah had a degree in business management and I picked his brain about Alex and I opening Wild Flower, our nursery in Mason.

“When do you think y’all will open it?” Noah asked as he ran his fingers lightly across my hand.

“Dunno. Luke and Colt have been doing so much for us. We got a great piece of land that had an old house on it. My father paid next to nothing for it, and with the help of Gunner, Luke, and Colt, they’ve almost completed remodeling the inside. We have two offices and we’re going to convert the third bedroom into a nursery playroom kind of thing. That way Alex can start working as soon as she wants and she can bring the baby. Originally, it was going to be a large storage room.”

Noah smiled as he looked at me with pride. “I can’t even begin to tell you how amazing I think it is that you know exactly what you want to do.”

“You don’t?” I asked as I studied his face.

Taking in a deep breath, Noah quickly pushed it out. “I thought I did at one time. I was going to take over my father’s business.”

“What did he do?”

“Private security. For some pretty big people. Mostly athletes, actors, and singers. He lived here in Austin and had another house right outside LA. That’s where he’s living now with some actress he’s shacking up with.”

My heart hurt for Noah. I couldn’t believe his father up and left his family like he did. “That had to have been really hard on y’all when he left.”

Noah looked away as he slowly nodded his head. “It was for my mother. She thought they were the real deal. Till death do us part and all that shit.”

Swallowing hard, I chewed on my lower lip. I could tell Noah was getting lost in his thoughts. Time to take action. Moving, I crawled over and got on his lap as I faced him. Instantly smiling, Noah raised his brows. “So, about that ride, Mr. Bennet.”

“Here? In the Target parking lot, Grace?”

Reaching down, I unbuttoned Noah’s jeans. “Why not? It’s always been one of my favorite stores.”

Noah looked around. We were parked at the very back of the parking lot, sitting in a small area of grass that surrounded a few oak trees. “Grace,” Noah chuckled. “There’re people around.”

Wiggling my eyebrows, I smiled, “Kind of makes it a little naughty, right?”

Noah pulled his head back, and giving me a shocked look, said, “Kind of?”

I began grinding on his hardening dick as I moved my hands up to my breasts.

“Fuck,” Noah hissed as he pulled my hips closer to him.

“If you say so,” I purred as I unzipped his pants, releasing his hard length. Licking my lips, I pushed my panties out of the way as I lifted up and slowly sank down on Noah as my skirt covered what we were doing. I was silently thanking God I decided to change before we left for our drive. Dropping my head forward, I whispered, “Holy hell, that feels amazing.”

“Grace,” Noah panted as he quickly looked around. The sun was sinking in the sky and would set in about another hour.

Lifting up some, I slowly sank all the way onto Noah’s dick. “I want to ride you so hard.”

Noah dropped his head back against the tree. “What in the hell do you do to me, Grace?”

Smiling, I placed my hands on Noah’s shoulders and peeked around the tree as I said, “We have a lot of time to make up for.”
