Chapter 29 : The Longshot

*Noah*

I wake up with the very familiar scent of coconut and vanilla shampoo under my nose and without even properly opening my eyes, I smile.

Jane lays sleeping on my chest, her blonde hair wild and untamed with some of the strands finding their way into my mouth. But her gentle breathing is so content that I almost stop my own, not wanting to wake her.

She was amazing last night.

The sex was easily the best I ever had, sure. But it was so much more than that, at least for me. It was the first time I ever felt such an acute desire for someone, and not just for pleasure alone but just to be with her. To be in that moment, feeling everything with her.

The intensity of that is something I don’t think I’ll ever forget. It’s scary sometimes, the way this person who I didn’t know existed six months ago has now become the center of my whole world.
