.The kitchen was warm but empty apart from the smells of coffee and a faint trace of Noah’s cologne.Pierce’s chest tightened when he saw the note on the kitchen table.He stared at the unfamiliar scribble with apprehension until the words became clear.‘Good morning, sleepy.Hope you don’t end up being late for work, but you looked too cute for me to wake you.There’s coffee (it might still be warm, else just make some fresh) and you’ll find breakfast in the fridge if you want.Feel free to take your time—and a shower, you might need it… Have a lovely day, N.’Pierce wasn’t sure what to make of this, but the next line lightened his mood considerably.‘P.S.I’d still be happy to take a look at your laptop and that cock-up tonight.’Pierce wasn’t entirely sure what to make of this either, but decided to assume that the double entendre was intentional.He left Noah’s flat after thirty minutes, caffeinated, showered and giddy with the prospect of coming back to see Noah in the evening.When he returned several tormenting hours at work later, he still felt giddy, but also unusually worried.What if Noah had changed his mind during the day? Maybe he had decided it had all been a mistake.Maybe his note that morning had just been written in the spur of the moment and he hadn’t meant it.Or worse, he had expected Pierce to read between the lines and understand that he was being let down gently.Yeah, and maybe he’s just as excited about seeing you as you are about seeing him, Pierce reassured himself as he rang the doorbell.The door was yanked open within less than three seconds.That might be a good sign.“Hi there.” Noah sounded just a little breathless.www.total-e-bound.comSUB-MISSIONSage Marlowe45“Hey.” Blue ice locked with Pierce’s gaze and for a moment he felt as if he was going to drown in it before he managed to come back to his senses.“You look stunning.”Noah blushed prettily.“Thanks.Come in.” He held the door open for Pierce, who took a moment to drag his eyes off Noah and enter.“Are you sure you don’t mind this?”“No, not at all.”“How’s Phoebe?”“Asleep at last.” Noah sighed and rolled his eyes, then turned around.Following Noah through the narrow hallway, Pierce enjoyed the view of that tight, well-shaped derrière a lot, and the desire to have Noah in that particular way made him ache.He had already spent a very pleasurable ten minutes in his office fantasising about Noah’s handsome body and had decided to try to get Noah into bed again.Only this time they would play by Pierce’s rules, which had Noah in quite a different position from the one he’d been in the night before.Noah led him into a tiny room that was apparently his office.It contained a big desk, a chair and several bookcases.A second table was cluttered with bits and pieces of electronic equipment and the carcasses of a few computers that had been ripped open.Colourful cables and parts were scattered around them like the guts of slaughtered animals.Catching his eye, Noah grinned.“Looks like a massacre, huh? Don’t worry, they were dead long before I severed them like this.So, where’s the patient?”Pierce unzipped the case that contained his precious laptop and took the slim black computer out.“Here.Please be kind.”“I’ll try not to cause too much pain, but there are no guarantees.It might get ugly.”Noah gave him a beautiful, lopsided grin that had Pierce’s heart pumping more blood into his groin.“Ready?”Pierce nodded a little sceptically, but handed his laptop to Noah, who glanced briefly at the small label and raised an eyebrow.“Anything wrong?” Pierce asked.“What exactly do you need this for?” Noah opened the lid and switched it on.It started booting with a contented whirr.www.total-e-bound.comSUB-MISSIONSage Marlowe46“Oh, just some office work.Documents, mostly.Some spreadsheets, a few presentations, but that’s about it.Why?” he enquired, when an amused smirk appeared on Noah’s face [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
