Noah Brown. A collection of Alaskan Bush People Fan Fiction stories

Ozone and Magic

You aren't sure you should be in Noah's tent without his permission. He is such a private person and you are still getting to know him. But he brought you to Brown Town to get to know him and his family, so if you stretch that invite really far, you could say you kinda had an open invitation to snoop in his tent.

"Whoa." You can't believe all the equipment you see spread around the large tent. There is a section of electrical parts, oily-smelling and dusty. Another area is stacked with tools and mechanical parts, and finally, one very neat section that includes his desk and cot. The smell of oil and leather is strong.

Stepping carefully around all the metal scraps and boxes on the floor of the tent, your eye falls on the deer heart in the jar on his desk.
"Oh, well that's just cool." You whisper as you reach out to touch the jar.

"I'm glad you're enjoying your little tour." Noah speaks softly from behind you. Quickly pulling your hand back, you swing around to face him.
"I'm sorry, Noah." I didn't mean to snoop. Actually, yes, I did mean to snoop." You smile as you stuff your hands in the pockets of your coat. "I just didn't mean to get caught."

Noah looks at you with one eyebrow lifted and a smirk on his face. "Dear, if you had asked me, I would have given you a private tour." That smirk always makes you want to grab him and shower him with kisses. Instead, you confess to him.
"Yes, but you learn so much more by snooping." Pulling your hand back out of your pocket, you reveal the small deck of cards. You had taken the cards off his desk and slipped them into your pocket a moment ago. "Does this mean Noah Brown is a card shark?" Noah's big laugh gives you your answer but he still wants to have some fun with you.
"No, my dear, not a card shark in the way that you mean it, as one who cheats at the game."

He takes the deck from your hand and quickly shuffles the cards. "But, I will admit to being a practitioner of card tricks for entertainment purposes." He flicks the cards quickly, then holds out the fanned deck to you. "Select a card and place it in your pocket." He directs. You smile at him, loving the blue of his eyes. Picking your card, smiling as you see it is the two of hearts, you slip it into your pocket. "OK. I'm ready." You bounce on your heels, eager to see what trick he will do.

Noah's smirk changes to a genuine smile that stirs something deep inside you. "My dear, I don't have to see the card to know you selected the two of hearts. The look in your eyes gave you away." You move close to this amazing man and place your hand gently on his chest, right over his heart. "Yes," He continues. "Our two hearts are becoming one."

As Noah slips his arms around you, his warn scent surrounds you. He smells like ozone and magic.
