I spun around and attempted to push past Noah. He would not move.

“Get out of my way,” I commanded.

At the sound of my tone, Noah stepped aside.

I stormed out of our en suite bathroom and into our bedroom. Noah followed closely behind me.

“What is wrong with you tonight?” he demanded.

I stopped in front of our bed and looked around the room. Noah’s gaze traced my own.

The king-sized bed had been covered in a red silk comforter and sprinkled with pink rose petals. The lights had been dimmed, with the flames of vanilla-scented teacup candles scattered throughout the room. To top it all off were a bottle of champagne—on ice—and a plate of oysters on the bedside table.

I had always gone all-out for these monthly intimacy nights. Too bad Noah never did the same for me.

I froze as Noah’s eyes landed on me. They roved over me in a way I was not accustomed to—was that a spark of desire that I saw?

No, it couldn’t be.

Whatever it was, I felt compelled to back onto the bed as he approached me. I fell backwards and scooted myself to the middle of the mattress.

Noah climbed onto the bed after me. He prowled up to me, as though channeling the vicious predator deep inside him, and straddled me with my legs trapped between his and a hand placed on either side of my head.

“You must be eagerly awaiting something,” he whispered, his hot breath rolling onto my face. “Why else would you go to all this trouble?”

He lowered his muscular body on top of me, creating a complete cage that I could not escape.

My cheeks flushed. A fire ignited in my belly, spreading to my groin and the rest of my body until my skin was hot to the touch. My pulse pounded in my ears, my chest, and my limbs.
