I was sleeping when he came in. He walked directly to me, so strong, so confident, so.... unlike Noah. I stood frozen as he took me in his arms, his mouth claiming mine. He even smelled different. Unlike Noah. I knew it was wrong, but when his fingertips grazed my skin as he was sliding off my shirt I melted. Noah had never been so direct, and there I was, puddy in his hands. His lips made their way down my jawline lingering on my neck as he kissed and gently sucked my skin. It took the breath right out of me. When he kissed the spot just below my earlobe my legs gave out, but he caught me, carrying me to the bed. His mouth once agin claimed mine, but only for a second while he once again made his way down my neck but this time he went on to my breasts, swirling his tongue over my nipple and gently sucking. I arched my back and moaned, greedy for more. More of what I had never gotten from him before. The confidence, the claiming what he wants, the change in the very essence of the person that is Noah. The guilt settled in my stomach, but only for a moment because soon he was trailing kisses down my stomach and pulling my panties off my hips-
Suddenly I woke up. And Noah was gone. Actually gone. No note, no clues, nothing, just an empty place where he had been. Daniel didn't talk about it but he did seem more moody than usual.
"Where did he go?"
He shook his head no. So this time I said it more forcefully.
"Daniel, where did he go?"
He jawline flexed as he gritted his teeth, but he still didn't answer. Then, I knew that he did not know. I sat down in the chair next to the hotel bed, suddenly breathless. I may not have loved Noah the way he wanted me to but I loved him nonetheless. Having him gone created a huge hole in my heart. Suddenly, I gasped and ran to the window, straining to see if he had taken the car and left us stranded. He hadn't. It sat exactly where we had parked it the night before. When I turned around Daniel was sitting on the bed. He didn't look up when he spoke.
"He didn't take anything with him."
I sighed and put my head in my hands.
"It's like he was never even here."
And then we both looked at my stomach.
"Oh shit."
Yeah. I was thinking something like that too.
