With his face buried in the crook of her neck, Ajax groaned in protest when she pushed him with her hands on his shoulders and pulled her head back.

“Honestly, we should have left hours ago.” Noémie looked at the time on the wall clock and chastised him. Attempting to get off the office desk in his study for the fifth time in the past hour, she was held back by the man who couldn’t get enough of her.

Now that they had both confessed their love for each other, Ajax didn’t seem to have any trouble or control in showing how much he loved her wherever and whenever he got the chance. Sometimes he spoke with words, and other times with his lips and hands all over her body.

It had been three days since that stormy night.

Three days since, he had poured his heart out and told her everything he never did, never could. The weight that had lifted off his shoulders since that night was impossible for Ajax to express. He felt so free and light and better.

It helped a lot that Noémie didn’t seem to mind his rush to make up for all the time they had lost while running in circles and never confronting each other. She had never pegged him as the romantic type, but oh well, here they were.

With his hands planted on the desk on either side of her, he drew his nose up the column of her neck and kissed the bottom of her earlobe. “Just a minute more…” he murmured against her sensitive flesh, his hot breath shooting electricity of desire down her spine.

Noémie hissed, clenching her jaw and squeezing her thighs. Her fingers entwined in the mess of his dark hair as she tipped her head to the side, exposing her slender neck to him, unable to help herself from letting out a soft moan when he bit at the sensitive spot on the side of her neck and soothed the pulsing ache with an even gentler kiss.

“Really? You said the same thing half an hour ago…” she teased with an adorable grin.

Ajax only hummed at her words and continued to leave sweet and breathless kisses down her collarbone.

“Ajax…” she sighed, pulling at her lower lip and trying her hardest not to moan like every single cell in her body demanded her to. “We really shouldn’t…”

“We shouldn’t what?” he asked, placing his large palm on her leg and caressing it up and down her bare thigh.

“Your mom is about to be super mad—ishh!” Noémie breathed through her mouth and threw her head back when his lips lingered around her cleavage. Her chest rose and fell with quick breaths as the anticipation of his next move filled her stomach with butterflies.

Ajax didn’t disappoint. He knew she craved this as much as he did. The way her hardened nipples pushed against the dress she wore was enough proof to dive straight in. And he did. Leaving the edge of the table, he slid the narrow straps of her dress down her shoulders until the neckline fell and settled around her waist.

Noémie wheezed and tightly shut her eyes. The chilled air of the conditioner pressed against her back, making her shiver. Her breasts had been so sore and tingly over the last few days of pregnancy that when he closed his warm mouth around them and gently sucked, pure bliss rushed through her.

“Oh god!” she mumbled, leaning back on her hands and wrapping her legs around his hips.

“Still want me to stop?” he asked after releasing her nipple from his mouth with a pop, peering up at her with those dark and fierce eyes.

“God, no!” Noémie whimpered before flushing as she saw his lips draw into a satisfied grin of his own.

“That’s what I thought…” And then he was back to it, giving the same attention to her other breast, earning quite an exceptional amount of enticing moans and groans from the woman he had waited to love for so, so, so long.

Later that day, when Ajax and Noémie finally made it to the old Halest Villa for lunch, they had barely taken a bite when Ajax received a call from Officer Brandon Davies.

“Good news, Mr. Halest,” Officer Brandon said. “Veronica Shirley is ready to cooperate with the investigation. But she specifically requested your presence. Will you be able to make it in, let’s see, an hour?”

“Sure.” Ajax gave a nod, already on his feet. “I’ll be there.”
