Ruthless Noble by Alley Ciz

ANOTHER EPILOGUE

Sometime in college


The cool night air kisses my cheeks while the vibrations from my idling engine keep me warm as I wait for my boyfriend to get his sexy but slow self here.

I’m drumming my fingers on the hood behind me in sync with the sound of Kesha playing through the rolled-down windows when I finally hear the roar of Jasper’s F8.

I squint my eyes against the glare of the headlights as they cut across where I’m perched on Toothless’s hood. It may prevent me from being able to see through the windshield, but I can say with complete certainty he’s giving me that smirk of his.

He pulls around until his front bumper aligns with mine, and sure enough, that maddening and nipple-hardening facial expression is firmly in place on his stupidly handsome face as he steps out of his Ferrari.

I match his with one of my own, running my tongue along the backs of my teeth as he curls a hand over the top of my thigh and uncrosses my legs.

His hands slide up them, his fingers kneading the muscles along the way before slipping under the band of my jeans and caressing the naked skin beneath. “I’ve never taken you for a tease, Samantha.”

Oh shit!

He hasn’t called me Samantha much since he learned of my Savvy name, but when he does? Oh boy…the current method of teasing I chose is all the more noticeable right here, right now.

“It wasn’t meant as a tease,” I lie with a shrug of my shoulders.

“Oh yeah?” His fingers lower farther to fully cup my ass, using his new leverage to scoot me closer to him until my center is cradling the hard-on pressing against his fly. “Then what would you call leaving your panties”—he leans forward so his lips brush the shell of my ear, his hot breath blowing across my skin—“your damp panties, mind you, laid out across my center console?”

I raise my arms, running my fingers through the longer hairs on the top of his head to draw out the delay of my answer. His eyes go heavy under my touch, and when his pearly gaze connects with mine again, it’s hazy with lust.

“How do you know they were damp?” I singsong to deflect. He’s not wrong. I can’t help it that I discovered watching him play hockey turns me on…a lot.

One of his hands leaves my body and disappears inside one of the back pockets of his jeans, only to reemerge with the purple lacy thong I wore to the BTU hockey game tonight.

They’re hooked around one long finger, and my core clenches, knowing exactly how that finger feels inside my body, how the thumb now stroking along the interior of the front panel feels doing the same to my clit.

“Now…” He rolls his piercing along the shell of my ear, a whimper escaping me as my head falls to the side. “You want to explain to me how these aren’t a tease, Princess?”

The Royals give him all kinds of shit for choosing a nickname they consider a demotion, but I like it. It probably helps that it gives me all sorts of warm fuzzies I would never admit to out loud, but I can’t deny experiencing them every time I recall how he challenges them back.

Let me tell you…

Jasper Noble staring down five guys and shamelessly telling them that while I am a queen, I’ll always be his Princess…

Yeah…if I were still wearing those panties he’s holding, they would one hundred percent be ruined.

“They were an incentive, Noble.” I push forward and nip at his chin. My lips curl into a grin along his skin at the growl he emits in response to my use of his last name. I’ll never stop calling him that when it so easily gets a rise out of him.

“You better fucking have your inhaler on you, baby, because I’m not going to hold back.”

Yes please!

I swallow down that automatic enthusiastic response and twitch a finger in front of his nose. “Not so fast.” I cluck my tongue. “There’s only one way you get to ride me tonight.”

Jasper pulls back, his dark brows dipping as he glares down at me. “Oh really?”

I love the almost exasperated doubt that laces his tone.

“Yup.” I lay my hand over the BTU Titan logo covering his muscular chest and push until I’m able to slide off of Toothless. I step to the side once I’m on my feet, trailing my fingertips across the matte black paint as I move around the curve of the hood to the driver’s side door. “And this time, the stakes will be fair because you’ll know who you’re actually racing.”

“Are you trying to say if I can’t beat you in a race”—he makes his way to his own driver’s side—“I won’t find you naked in my bed tonight?”

“Of course not.” I shake my head.

“Then why would I want to race when I could just bend you over Toothless right now and reenact one of my favorite nights of my life?” He gives a pointed glance around the empty lot we’re parked in.

“Because…” I drawl. “If you win…I’ll let you put it anywhere.”

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Jasper move faster in my life, and that man flies across the ice. I guess one should never underestimate the promise of anal.
