Chapter 26 Higher

I feel like a teenager right now.

Noah follows me to the entrance, and I unlock the door, letting him in first and then locking the door behind me. The tour bus has already been cleaned and ready for the next trip.

"Holy SHIT..." Noah blurts out again and looks around. "This ain't no bus. This is a luxury apartment on wheels!!"

"Noah......" I drop my keys on the counter and turn him around. He looks down at me and swallows hard, knowing what I want now.

"Um... I haven't ... I mean... I have, but... " Noah begins, but I shake my head. I know what he is saying. It's been a while. Maybe he's only been with his wife. Who knows. But I don't let him finish his sentence. I lean up and kiss him instead. He kisses me back with so much passion I forget all about his ex-wife and twin kids.

"Take this damn Nate Hollan Tour shirt off." I pull Noah's shirt up, and he takes his shirt off, throwing it on the ground.

Holy shit is right. Fireman Noah has a chiseled tan body, and I'm now all hot and bothered. He leans in and kisses me again feverishly. His hands slide under my top and trace the bottom hem of my bra. I lean back and quickly pull my top off and unhook my bra, letting it fall to the floor.

Noah's eyes darken, and he is no longer hesitant about this. He takes me in his mouth, and I let out a little moan and close my eyes as his tongue works its magic on my breast, then moving to the other side and doing the same to that one.

He doesn't miss a beat now, unbuttoning and pulling my jeans down and off. He drops to his knees and pulls my underwear down.

"Fuck." He whispers to himself right before attaching his mouth to my bare core.

His ex-wife was the biggest idiot in the world.

Everything Noah is doing feels amazing and I hit my high quickly from how he's working my nerves. Who knew I'd be doing this right here in Paris with some stranger?

"Are you sure about this?" He stands back up and pushes me against the small kitchen counter, lifting me up on to it as I unbutton his jeans. Note to self. Disinfect this counter before Nate comes in here. He'd have my head.

"Stop talking, Noah." I breathe out and he laughs against my neck, stepping out of his jeans and boxer briefs.

His ex-wife was a VERY VERY stupid woman....

"Sorry to hear things are getting worse with Katie." 

Julia had her dose of her addiction and is calm.  She steps out onto the balcony to join me as I look out at the night view of Paris.

"He's gonna hire a nurse for us to help take care of them." I wipe my eyes with the back of my hand and Julia wraps her arms around my waist.

"He's on the phone with Jonah right now." Julia says and leans her chin against my bicep to look up at me.

"This all seems so unreal." I continue. "We've never had anyone help us like this."

"He's a good man, James." She smiles up at me, feeling the effects of her Ativan tonight. She's calm and no longer shaking. Even with food in her system it worked. It's been hit or miss lately. Julia drops her forehead to my arm and shakes her head.

"Jeremy wants me start detox right away." She says nervously. "He said the longer I wait the harder it's gonna be. I don't know if I can do this again."

"You can, babe. You're so strong, you know that? Stronger than you think. Look at how much you've overcome.  And that's just this year. You are going to get through this."
