Cherished (McKenzie Brothers, #5)

Noah stands and slides against me when I refuse to budge and give him space. “I’ve been thinking about you as well.” He starts to blush, which causes my brow to arch in question. “I should feel secure being with you like I did before, but I’m wanting so much more with you now than what I ever thought about in the past. It scares the shit out of me, and with you keeping your distance, I’m on edge. It’s as though I’m waiting for something big to happen that will see you walking away from me without ever looking back.”


I swallow around the lump in my throat. Noah and I need to talk more often because I had no idea he was carrying so much worry around with him. I know I have my fair share, but Noah’s confession makes my heart hurt.

“Noah, when you left me it felt like my heart had been torn out. I never want to feel like that again, so you can get any notion of me walking away from you right out of your head…it won’t happen. That I promise.” I pause, and then ask, “Can you promise me that you’ll never walk away from me again?”

“I already have. It won’t happen,” he adamantly agrees.

I kiss his forehead and smile against him when he spreads his thighs more; he pulls me close for more intimate contact.

“One more thing, give me time with the public displays of affection. You know I don’t have a problem when it’s just us, my folks and my brothers; it’s just everyone else. I’m so used to hiding that I don’t even notice when I am.” I offer him a wry smile. “But when the shit on the site is cleared up, you’ll be claimed.”

He grabs my ass and nuzzles his face into my stomach, causing my blood to thicken with desire.

“Lift your shirt.”

I don’t need telling twice.

My stomach quivers as Noah’s tongue licks around my navel before dipping inside. The bulge behind my zipper feels as though it’s about to punch straight through the fabric.

Releasing the hold I have to Noah’s head, I slip my hand between us and unfasten my pants before shoving them down. The pre-cum leaking from my cock will be showing through the material if I’m not careful.

“Someone’s excited,” Noah observes.

I chuckle, having no embarrassment. “I’m always excited when I’m with you.”

Noah caresses my ass while he continues to lap around my navel. My dick nudges him under the chin, causing shards of pleasure to ripple through me. My hips have a mind of their own and start to rock. The feel of Noah’s fingers searching along my crease, and his tongue moving ever so slowly on my body, has me throwing my head back in uncontrollable desire.

“I love having you at my mercy.”

I grunt in response because Noah’s tongue has started to tickle my sac, leaving me speechless, and with a dick that is so fucking hard, I’m afraid it’s going to burst if I don’t get immediate relief.

“Suck me,” I beg as his tongue makes its way slowly up my length to swirl around the bulging head.

Chuckling, he suddenly takes me into his hot, wet mouth.

“Fuck,” I hiss.

My hips rock as pleasure ripples along my spine and centers at the head of my dick. But as soon as Noah starts to rim my ass with his fingers, and rubs between my legs, the ball of fire explodes. The air gets trapped in my lungs as Noah sucks me to completion, and fucking sucks me he does.

My legs quiver and I’m seconds from dropping to my knees when Noah starts cleaning me up with his tongue.

It gets to the point where I can’t abide him being on me so I push him back and break our connection. “No more.” I gasp the words.

He smirks. “Spoilsport.”

I drop forward and catch myself on Noah’s shoulders.

He laughs. “That good, huh?” Pushing me slightly away, he reaches down and yanks my shorts and pants up. He fastens them and shoves my shirt back inside.

Unable to avoid looking at his groin from this position, I’m happy to see how affected he is. In fact, it looks painful as hell.

Dropping to my knees, I grab hold of his hips and yank him forward. Unfastening his pants, Noah’s hard cock springs free. I nuzzle my face in his groin, the springy hair tickling my nose…

Bang. Bang. Bang.

“What the fuck.” Noah jumps to his feet, almost knocking me on my ass. “Sorry,” he chuckles.

Quickly shoving his heavily swollen dick away, he winces but manages to straighten himself back up as the door opens.

“Hello, brother,” Carla drawls and leans against the doorframe.

Noah groans and looks slightly embarrassed as he starts laughing.

“You’re wicked,” Noah shakes his finger at her.

“It was me or Pippa, so I presumed you’d rather have me catching you than Ramon’s mom,” she chuckles as she nods toward me.

“That wouldn’t have been the first time,” I grumble.

Carla freezes mid-step on her way to Noah. “She hasn’t.”

“She has.” I smirk. “But that’s a story for another time,” I add when I see the curiosity on her pretty face.

“I’ll get it out of Noah when he least expects it…” her eyes sparkle with uncontained mirth, “Oh, wait. The hot tub, right?” she announces with glee.

“Ha, she’s got you there,” Noah calls it as he pulls Carla into his arms for a hug. “I presume we’re wanted.”

“The dinner is about to be served…and everyone was wondering where you two had gotten to. So I volunteered to find you both as I saw you disappearing in the same direction,” she wiggles her eyebrows.
