I wanted to finally close the distance between us.
I was done waiting for him to make a move only to pull away at the last second. I was tired of the build up that never lead to anything. I wanted him. My eyes roamed over his face, drinking in all of his beautiful features, until they dropped on his heart-shaped lips. They looked so very tempting. I wanted to kiss him. So bad. The adoration gleaming in his eyes as he stared back at me only fueled my desire.
So curbing down all the inhibitions, I finally smacked my lips against his. A pleasurable jolt went through my whole body.
Noah's grip on my waist loosened. I didn't know how to proceed when he just stood there still. My lips simply remained glued to his. No one made a move.
Was I too forward? Did I misread signs?
Before the doubts could settle and I can pull away, a hand pressed against the back of my head. It was like something snapped inside Noah as a low grunt rumbled from his throat and I found myself being devoured.
He kissed me like he was starving. His fingers tugged my hair and angled my face to kiss me better. He ravished me like I belonged to him. He bit my lower lip and my small gasp was enough for him to slid his tongue inside my mouth and ravage the insides. He was so wild and dominating, leaving me a whimpering, mewling mess, who could barely keep up with him.
When we pulled away I was panting like I had just run a marathon. Never have I been kissed like this before.
"I was trying so hard to be patient," he groaned, his eyes turning a shade darker as he looked at me, "well congratulation Giselle Martin, you just snapped me."
"Why-mmhmm..."
His lips were over mine once again and I wasn't complaining. He dived right back into my mouth, claiming it as his. My hands moved upward to cop the feeling of his soft hair. He gave a sexy moan as I pulled them gently. My actions were soft, learning, whereas his were demanding and possessive. I loved it.
Soon I found the back of my knees hitting against the bed, and it didn't take long before I was lying on it with Noah above me. His jacket was off and I ran my fingers over his biceps, relishing the touch of his skin. Sparks were flying between us.
"Kissing you is so much better than I ever imagined," Noah murmured, peppering kisses all over my face. My stomach clenched knowing I wasn't the only one who fantasized about him.
"Is this the special thing you planned?" I asked, caressing his cheeks.
"Nope," he said, dropping a kiss on my nose, "but damn it, this is so much better." Another kiss. "Way fucking better."
"Huh?" My face heated, realizing I did, in fact, misread his intentions. "You weren't planning to... do something like this?"
"No." He smiled at my flustered face, before leaning down and kissing my jaw. "But now I'm regretting why I didn't do this earlier." A moan slipped past me as he kissed the soft spot on my neck. Apparently that egged him on to continue his ministrations.
"I-I thought- hmmm- your spec- mmm." It was pretty hard to form a coherent sentence when his mouth was sucking on my neck. "Your special pla- oww!"
He bit me.
"Did you just bite me- aah." His teeth again clamped down on my tender skin.
"It's hard to control when you look so succulent, so delicious," he said, dropping a light kiss on the spot. "I am marking you too. Every one should know you belong to me."
"People don't belong to other people Noah. Those days are gon- aah!" He bit me. Again. However, this time pleasure mingled with pain, and I found myself liking it.
"You're mine Martin. Now be a good girl, stop whining and let me mark my woman." His tone was authoritative and my toes curled in excitement. Instead of being offended I was turned on.
He sucked and bit my neck to his heart's content and I writhed under him, enjoying every second of it. By the time he was done I knew I was sporting his multiple hickeys.
"It wasn't so bad, was it?" Noah smiled as he propped himself on his elbows and looked down at me.
I sucked my lower lip, feeling shy under his intense gaze. "Let me go zombie on your neck then we'll see," I sassed, unable to help myself.
He chuckled. "I'd love to shut that pretty mouth again, but you're lucky I don't trust myself to not take it all the way if I continue." I blushed when I realized he was hard as his erection brushed against my thigh when he got off me.
I didn't mind him taking it all the way, but I also wanted to cherish this moment as the first time we kissed.
Noah extended his hand and I took it to stand up. He gave me another big smooch as though he couldn't help himself.
"Now what is it that you really planned for this date?" I asked, turning my face when I saw another incoming kiss. I giggled when he groaned, pecking my cheek.
"I wanted to tell you something." His grip on my arm tightened for a fraction of second before he gave another smile, but this time it didn't quite reach his eyes. "Let's get something to eat first."
He opened the curtains over the glass wall and I saw a table and two chairs set in the balcony. He made a phone call as we settled there. A smile curved on my lips seeing a small vase in the middle of table with a pink rose sticking out of it.
Few minutes later a man came dressed in black trousers and white shirt and served us food. The freshly made waffles topped with chocolate syrup and ice cream were put on the table along with two cups of steaming latte. My mouth watered as the amazing scent reached my nose. Noah and I thanked Gerald - I learned that was the name of man who brought us this heavenly food - before he departed back.
"I'm already big, you don't have to fatten me up anymore," I joked, looking at the sugary treat in front of me.
"Don't tell anyone. My evil scheme is to fatten you up until you can't get out of my bed. Then I can have my sinistrous ways with you all I want." Noah smirked, looking at my flustered face.
I shook my head before biting down on the forkful of waffle and ice cream. It was delicious, better than any that I had in diners or restaurants.
Noah and I ate first few bites of our brunch in comfortable silence. The weather was chilly but sun had managed to peek out, making our little date even more perfect.
"So what is it that you wanted to tell me?" I asked, taking a sip of my coffee.
Noah's jaw chewing on his food stopped for a second, before he resumed. He took his time gulping down the morsel. His emerald green eyes met mine. "Before I open up to you Martin, I want you to promise me that you'll be open-minded," he said.
I was worried as it was the first time I was sensing nervousness from Noah. He was always so sure and confident. Whatever he was going to tell me it must be something very important. "I promise."
He nodded. "I didn't want to take things further until you know all about me. Today when you kissed me, I couldn't stop myself, but I never meant to do it until you had full disclosure about what I am, and what you're to me."
A moment of silence passed between us. I kept mum giving him time to process his thoughts, even though on the inside I was very impatient.
"I am a goblin."
I blinked, twice. "A goblin?"
He nodded, his eyes gauging my reaction closely.
Noah Sylvan is goblin. Okay.
"Okay," I said, keeping my promise of being open-minded, "what else?"
"This is not a joke or prank. Are you sure you want me to continue?"
"Yes."
"Goblins are different from humans. Some of us, like one of my species and ones closely related to us, look like humans, but we're different. For starters, we're stronger and faster. We can smell and hear better. No human stand a chance against us."
"Wow you guys seem real humble about it." I didn't know why but I had to chime.
Noah chuckled. "Yeah, we're also quite arrogant. It comes naturally when you know you're better than others."
I frowned. His cockiness was back. From the outside I was looking calm, but inside I was exploding with questions and panic.
"We also have few magic tricks up our sleeves. I'd love to show off that to you," he continued. "Us goblins originally don't belong in your world. We learned to break through the wall that separated us around some thousand...or ten thousand years ago- Well, time is a fickle thing for us.
"Since then our kind started 'traveling' here. Your world offers us new experiences, new way of living and learning. A case study of sort. Some jump between the worlds, while others stay, like me.
"It has become a second home. But it'll be wrong to forget my real home, which is in another world. Another realm-"
"It's in Realm of Magic," I completed.
