"So, Eddie seems like a nice guy. What do you think?" Noah asks, breaking me from my trance. I've been mindlessly staring out the car window as we drive home, trying to figure out how to protect Sophia without her knowing anything.
"I agree." I quickly answer before he can notice my distraction. "He has some odd little quirks that I question, but I'm sure I'm just being an over protective friend." I laugh humorlessly.
"You're just like your dad in the way, I'll have to admit, but he did seem a bit off. I thought it was just me though, so good to know you saw it too."
"As long as Sophia is happy and he treats her right, that is all that matters though. She's had a lot of dumbasses in her life, so hopefully this one is a good guy and a keeper. Thankfully I have you and don't have to worry about all that nonsense anymore." I reach over and rest my hand on his upper thigh. I keep my hand there as Noah continues to drive us home and I slowly begin to rub gentle circles with my thumb, massaging his thigh as I do. I can hear his breathing become slightly labored as I start to massage his thigh a little rougher than before. I move my hand slowly up and down his thigh, letting my fingers graze his hardening member.
"Damnit woman! You're going to make me crash!" he slams his hand down on top of mine, halting my movement. "As much as I am enjoying ALL of this, baby, I would like to get you home safely, so that I can enjoy you a bit better." he turns and smirks at me before turning his attention back to the road, never letting go of my hand, still resting on his thigh. Eventually we've made it home and once inside, we head straight to our room, stopping only to let Amber and Liam know that we are home. "Ok now beautiful, I'm gonna go get out of these clothes and freshen up and when I get back, I'm going to enjoy every inch of this amazing body, so be ready." Noah places a few kisses down my neck and across my shoulder before turning and going to the bathroom. Turning, I kick my shoes off and walk over to my side of the bed to pout my phone on the charger before I strip out of my clothes and wait for Noah. Just as I am hooking my phone up, I see the screen light up with a text message, but I don't recognize the number. After all the crazy in my life lately, I'm slightly nervous to open the message, but swiping across the screen, I do anyways.
Unknown: "Emma. I know we shook on it, but how do I know I can trust you? I know the value of my secret, but not yours. Beware the words you use with others. I will always be watching and if I feel threatened, you will pay. Sophia must never know anything or else she too will have to pay for your mistakes."
My heart stops for a short moment reading the words on my screen. I obviously realize this is Eddie rather quickly, but now I must decide how to handle this. Behind me I hear the shower in the bathroom cutting off, so I quickly screenshot the message and phone number, before deleting it and close my phone, setting it down on my side table. Just as I throw my clothes in the hamper and lay on the bed, the bathroom door opens and Noah walks out and across the room to the bed with only a towel on wrapped around his waist. He lowers himself onto the bed in front of me and grabs ahold of my ankles, pulling me across the bed to him, my legs on either side of him. with me in the exact position Noah wants, he drops his towel to the floor behind him and leans into my body. He kisses his way from my left ankle up my inner thigh, stopping only when he reaches my throbbing core. He quickly rips my underwear from my body and ravishes my core with his mouth; his tongue working absolute magic on me, sending me into an earth shattering orgasm. He only spends a short time with his face between my legs before he continues his trail of kisses up over my waist and stomach, eventually reaching my bare breast and capturing one n****e in his mouth and the other in his hand, destroying me all over again with just the flick of his tongue. Once he has had his fun teasing me, he releases my n*****s and moves his face just inches from mine. Staring into my eyes, he slams into me with all that he has and continues to pound my soaking core, never breaking eye contact, until we both crumble into a hot, sweaty, mess.
"I guess my shower was kind of pointless after all this fun we just had." Noah chuckles, rolling himself onto his side beside me and trailing his fingers up and down my bare abdomen.
"That just means you'll have to join me in the shower and we can make sure we both come out squeaky clean." I wink at him as I pull myself out of the bed and begin to walk to the bathroom. Just as I am about to walk in, Noah comes up behind me and slams me into the wall and enters me from my behind. With one hand holding him up against the wall and the other hand holding my waist, pulling me into him, he slams his length into me repeatedly until we both orgasm again. My legs down shaky and uneasy, I slowly make my way into the bathroom and start the hottest shower I can handle. We climb in and enjoy another round of pleasure under the boiling stream of water and then finally bathe and get out; both of us completely spent and ready for bed.
"Goodnight Em. I love you." Noah kisses my cheek just as I go to climb into bed. He walks around and climbs in behind me and wraps his arms around my waist, pulling me tight to him.
"Goodnight babe. I love you too." I turn just enough to reach his shoulder and softly kiss him before relaxing into his embrace and drifting off to a dreamless sleep.

BEEP BEEP.
BEEP BEEP.
BEEP BEEP.
I reach over and slam my hand down on my phone to hopefully snooze the alarm before grunting and rolling over, tucking myself into Noah's chest. I feel his chest shake slightly with a small chuckle and then him pull away from me just a bit and my eyes pop open to glare at him.
"I know you're tired love, but you've got to get up and go to work. I'll even drive you so you can take a little nap in the car, but you've got to get moving or you'll be late." he chuckles again, I'm sure this time at my obviously pissed off face. I grunt again before throwing myself out of bed and storming off to the bathroom. As I slam the door behind me, I can hear Noah boom with laughter at my, I'm assuming. I quickly brush my teeth, put on deodorant, and throw my hair into a messy bun before storming out of the bathroom to the closet to get dressed. I throw on the first pair of jeans and work shirt I can find and slip my socks and shoes on.
"I'm ready." I grumpily state coming out of the closet and walking to the bedroom door. Looking at Noah, I see that he is still in his sweatpants and t-shirt that he wore to bed. "So you get the day off, but I'm stuck going into work?! That just makes my morning SOO much better." I sarcastically state as I leave the room and head for the front door.
"Wait, wait, wait babe. You don't want coffee or anything before you leave? You'll feel better after coffee and breakfast, I promise." Noah says as he walks up to me at the front door.
"Oh, I'm going to have coffee and breakfast, and you are going to pay for it all since you get to wear my ass out and then enjoy a day off, so let's go pretty boy." I swing the front door open and make my way out to his car, climbing in and continuing my morning pout.
"Alrighty grumpy butt, where do you wanna go?" Noah asks as he climbs into the driver seat of the car and starts it up.
"Take me to work and I will have breakfast there with you before my shift starts." I reply, arms crossed over my chest, glaring out the window.
"Yes ma'am. Let's go so I can make my baby feel all better." he reaches over with and pries my arms apart and takes my hand in his all the while smirking at me. I roll my eyes and huff a bit, but still let him hold me hand as we drive. Pulling into the parking lot of the cafe, Noah lets go of my hand and parks the car, quickly cutting it off and jumping out, coming around to my side to open my door for me before I can. He takes my hand and helps me from the car and then guides me inside and to a table in the back corner that he knows is for sure in Sophia's section. A few seconds after sitting down, Sophia comes over, slightly surprised to see us.
"Hey you two! How did you manage to get this one out of bed and to work so early?" Sophia asks Noah, jabbing her finger in my direction.
"Very carefully!" they both laugh at Noah's joke, before he continues. "I had to agree to buy her coffee and food to get her here, but I managed to do so without incident, so that's a plus." he laughs again at his joke.
"You know, I am sitting right here, assholes!" I state firmly, rolling my eyes at both of them, causing them to both roar with laughter at my reaction to their jokes. "Whatever y'all." I turn my attention to Sophia, "Soph, will you please just bring me a hot coffee and cinnamon roll? Thanks."
"Sure thing doll, I'll be right back. Anything for you, Noah?"
"Just an ice water and a bowl of fruit, thank you." Sophia nods at us and turns and heads for the kitchen to put in our order. "I know you're not awake just yet, but while we wait, I thought I'd ask you out to dinner with me Wednesday night. It's my uncle's birthday and the family is having this big dinner for him and everyone misses you, so I wanted to get my name on your schedule as soon as possible."
"I don't know why you have to be childish about things. If I'm not working, I'm with you, so why would you need to 'get your name on my schedule'? That's just ridiculous. And of course I will go with you Wednesday; you now how much I love your family." Before Noah can reply, Sophia is back with our order. She sets it all down in front us and I immediately grab up the coffee cup and take a huge gulp, burning my entire mouth and throat as I do. "Damnit that's hot!" I exclaim, setting the cup back down.
"Well yea, dummy! You did order HOT coffee." Sophia rolls her eyes at me and then quickly jumps into the conversation I know she's been dying to have since dinner ended last night. "Anyways! Tell me what you thought of Eddie. He's pretty amazing, huh?"
"Yea, he is." I reply, trying to seem enthusiastic with my answer. I hate lying to everyone and even more so, I'm putting her in the exact same situation that I'm putting Noah in and she doesn't deserve that. I don't have much choice in the matter right now though. "He seems like a super sweet guy and as long as he treats you good and makes you happy, that's all that matters, girl." I smile half heartedly, praying she doesn't notice.
"Oh my gosh, doll, yes! He treats me better than any man I've ever known and now I just gotta try to keep him around." She laughs lightly and smiles a smile that stretches across her entire face; a smile I've never seen her wear before. "I'll let y'all enjoy your breakfast now and we'll talk more when you clock in." she smiles and practically skips away. Noah and I finish our breakfast, only making occasional small talk regarding his uncle's party and other minor things. A few minutes before it is time for me to clock in, he walks me to the back and kisses me goodbye before heading home, promising to be back later to pick me up. Before clocking in, I shoot my dad a quick text, knowing any words I speak aloud could be heard by the wrong ears.
Me: Hey daddy. Need a favor. Sophia, from work, has a new boyfriend she really likes, but he seems kind of weird to me. Mind running a back ground on him, please? Just for my peace of mind. Thank you daddy! I love you!
I attach a small file with Eddie's name, age, phone number, and picture and his send before shoving my phone in my pocket and clocking in. I hate keeping all the secrets, especially now from my dad. I know once he runs the background, he'll know everything he needs to know; everything I can't say, but I still hate this. Thankfully, when I do the meet up's for my dad, only the people he has worked with for years know who I am, so I'm almost 100% guaranteed that Eddie has no clue of who I really am and who my dad is. At least I pray he doesn't.
