The Stepbrother - Noah Centineo (COMPLETED)

I crave you.

Arielle's PoV

"Ever heard that saying 'the darkest nights produce the brightest stars'" I tilted my head back, looking up at the starry sky.
"They weren't lying." I breathed out, squeezing my eyes shut and taking in the fresh sea air.
Noah and I had headed down to the beach, there was only a few people about at this time so it was very quiet.
"You like the stars huh?" Noah asked, his hand reaching for mine. I looked at him with a grin.
"There's just something about them that has me captivated." I shrugged my shoulders, giving his hand a little squeeze before we continued our walk on the sea front.
"Come." Noah began to run ahead, dragging me behind. I was a little taken back at first but I soon ran after him, laughing. Where was he going?

Soon enough, I was out of breath. Man I am unfit. I placed my hands on my hips as I stood there watching Noah perch himself up on the sand dune.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Lay down." He patted the space beside him as he laid himself back, looking up into the sky. I smiled and moved towards him, laying myself down next to him. Ahead of me, the stars glowed brighter than ever, not a single cloud in the sky. Is this what it was always like in Bora Bora? This is like a dream.
"Wow!" Was all I managed to get out. I was quite literally star struck.

I hadn't realised Noah had rolled over on to his side before I felt a finger trace along my jawline. I turned my head to see him smiling at me.
"What?" I fought back a smile. I've never had someone look at me the way Noah was looking at me right now. My stomach was doing flips.
"You're so special to me. You know that right?" He asked, his eyes staring into my own. I slowly nodded my head, his thumb tracing the corner of my lips.
"Last night, I looked at you and I could feel it." He began.
"I wasn't expecting you, Ari. I didn't think that we'd end up together, yet here we are." He chuckled, a small smile tugging at my lips.
"I crave you. I crave you in the most innocent form. I crave to say goodnight and give you forehead kisses and to say that I adore you in  every possible way." Oh boy.
"I crave you in ways where I just want to be next to you and nothing more or nothing less. You're all I want."
"The single most extraordinary thing I've ever done with my life is fall in love with you." As the words left his lips I felt my heart skip a beat. I always thought that it was so cringey, people saying that their heart skips a beat when the first 'I love you' is said, but truth is, it really does.
"Everything I've always ever wanted is right in front of me. I love you, Arielle." I hadn't noticed that I had indeed started crying until he wiped away my tear and chuckled.
"I love you." He repeated, his eyes flicking from mine to my lips. Before anything else was said, I smashed our lips together.

I let out a gasp as my back was pushed up against the front door, slamming it shut. Noah's hand placed itself on the door beside my head, the other caressing my cheek as he kissed me with passion.
I was quick to wrap my arms around his neck, pulling him even more into me, our bodies rubbing up against each other.
Noah let out a grunt, his hands suddenly going to the backs of my thighs, giving them a little squeeze. Within seconds my legs were wrapped around his waist as his lips worked feverishly at my neck. My lips parted as I threw my head back, allowing him more access. Something about this just felt so right. I needed him tonight now more than ever.
He stopped kissing at my neck and moved back up to my lips where he stopped just before them.
"I need you, love." His voice was deep and husky, his eyes full of lust.
"P-please." I stuttered out, my fingers raking through his hair and pulling his lips down to meet mine again.

Before I knew it, Noah had started to carry me to our room where he kicked the door open, placing me on the bed.
"Wait here." He pecked my forehead, heading towards his suitcase where he pulled out a squared packet. Is that? Yes, yes it is. I bit down on my lip, the thought making my legs shake. We were really going to do this tonight. It felt right. We both wanted this and nothing was going to stop that.
He headed back over to the door where he shut it before pulling his top over his head and towering himself above me again.

I ran my hands up his bare chest and up to his face where I gently stroked his cheek.
When it comes down to it, he's the only one I want. He's the only one I can imagine myself with. His hands are the only ones I want to hold. His lips are the only lips I ever want to kiss. His voice is the only sound I want to fall asleep to and his eyes are the only sight I want to wake up to. He's the only one I think about when a stupid love song comes on the radio and he's the very last thought running through my head before I drift off to sleep. He's the absolute only person I could see myself happy with.
"I love you." I whispered.
"You don't know how good it is to hear those words come from your lips." He let out a breath of relief before kissing me once again.

I love him. I really do.
