Wanting to show more skin, I held my black cardigan in one hand as Peyton and I made our way to the restaurant. As soon as Noah saw me from our table, his jaw clenched while his eyes undressed me. Feeling satisfied with his reaction, I took my earlier seat next to him, "hey" I greeted him with an innocent smile, "hey" he replied with an intense gaze.

While the others were busy in conversation, I purposely dropped my cardigan on the floor between our chairs, "oh" I said to myself while moving my legs over to bend down, "I got it" he said while reaching down. As soon as he grabbed it, he looked up and found himself a few inches away from my bare leg.

Slowly sitting up, his gaze travelled up my leg, "thank you" I said when our eyes locked. Clearing his throat, "yeah, no problem" he said while handing me the cardigan. As if on cue, "shall we get going?" Peyton asked excited, "yeah" we all replied in unison before making our way towards the buffet.

After a somewhat pleasant dinner, "got your favourites" I said while placing a plate full of desserts in front of her, "love yooou" she said making me smile, "it's funny to think you barely knew of each other in high school, look at you now" Drew pointed out amused, "how'd you guys become so close?" Noah asked with a smile.

"I was working part time at a restaurant when I saw her out on a date with this total jackass and I could tell she was biting her tongue and was just taking it in, so I may have 'accidentally' spilled leftovers spaghetti bolognese all over him ending the date short" she proudly said, "after her shift we grabbed a burger and I haven't been able to get rid of her since" I teased making everyone, but Addison, laugh.

"Sorry your date didn't work out" Noah said doing a bad job at hiding his amusement, "the guy went ahead and ordered me a salad without asking me what I actually wanted, Peyton definitely did me a favour" I replied with a chuckle making him smile.

Making our way back to the lobby, "do you guys want to play some board games? We saw some around earlier" Peyton said excited, "board games, really?" Addison asked unimpressed, "I'm going back to my room" she said while walking away.

Stopping in her tracks, "you coming?" she asked while looking back at Drew, "nah I'm going to play Monopoly" he said as the rest of us stood there awkwardly. Hiding her annoyance with a smile, "ok, have fun" she said while giving him a look, before heading towards the elevator.

*Noah's POV

The rest of us exchanged a look as we stayed in awkward silence until, with a hand on Bryony's lower back, "let's go, you guys are going down" he casually said with a grin while leading the way, gently pushing her along.

As Peyton and I followed close behind, I couldn't help but feel annoyed even after he dropped his hand, "the fuck you touching her for?" I angrily asked myself, my newly discovered overprotective and territorial side taking over me again.

Shaking those feelings off, we settled in a cosy corner at the back of the room. As the rounds went by I noticed him checking his phone a few times before typing something back in frustration.

Assuming it was Addison, "here we go again" I mentally thought, not looking forward to hearing all about their fight from a yet again, venting best friend, "make sure to come visit me in jail babes" Peyton said making Bryony laugh, bringing my attention back to the game.

But as I expected, "sorry guys, I'm heading to bed" he said after faking a yawn, "but we haven't finished the game" Peyton said with puppy eyes, "when do we ever finish a game of Monopoly?" Bryony asked amused, "point taken, I'll come with you then, I want to call Logan before bed" she said excited.

"I'll give you some privacy" Bryony said while starting to pack things away, "need some help?" she asked, but taking that as an opportunity, "don't worry about it" I said with a reassuring smile before collecting the remaining cards.

With goodnight wishes exchanged, we were finally alone. As I handed her the cards, our hands touched and our eyes locked, "thank you" she said before hesitantly pulling her hand back.

When everything was back in the box, I watched her get up, her short dress slightly riding up, exposing more of her beautiful legs. She was driving me crazy, I wanted her like I never wanted anybody else.

*Bryony's POV

As I tried to place the box back where we found it on the top of the bookcase, I was struggling to reach the shelf despite my efforts to even tiptoe. When I heard a chuckle from behind I turned around only to find him standing intimately close.

Grabbing the box off my hands, he closed the little distance between us, making my hands rest against his chest while my heart raced. With a hand on my waist, his other arm reached up and once the box was back on the shelf, he looked down at me, making me immediately get lost in his dark eyes.

Just when I thought he was going to finally kiss me, "would you like a hot chocolate?" He asked with a smile after walking away, leaving me flustered, "yeah" my mouth automatically said while I tried to not let my disappointment show.

As I watched him make his way towards the hot drinks machine, "this is torture" I thought to myself before slumping my sexually frustrated body on the sofa.

*Noah's POV

It took a lot of willpower to walk away from her.
The way her body reacted was enough to make me want to pick her up and fuck her right against that bookcase, not that it would have been very comfortable. But I was determined to make her want me as badly as I wanted her. Besides, teasing her like that was very amusing.

With two hot chocolates in hand, I took a seat next to her on the sofa, "thank you" she said as I handed her the one with extra whipped cream, "I noticed you have a sweet tooth" I said making her chuckle, "yeah I don't have much self control when it comes to that" she said as we exchanged a smile.

Wanting to get to know her better, "if you don't mind me asking, why a kindergarten teacher?" I asked while she licked some of the whipped cream off the top, making it harder for me to not get sexually charged again, "so much for me teasing her" I thought to myself while taking a sip of my drink.

Doing my best to stay focused, "well, as you know I used to babysit a lot during high school but it wasn't just about the money, believe it or not I actually enjoyed it" she said making me raise an eyebrow, "really?" I asked amused, "yeah, I know kids can be a handful but they can also be so sweet, and honestly the feeling I got whenever I made them smile was so rewarding" she said and I couldn't help but smile.

"You're very sweet" I said making her chuckle, "not as noble as you officer" she said while taking a sip of her drink, and for whatever reason, even hearing her call me officer turned me on, "although it is to impress the ladies with your uniform, so I guess it's not that noble after all" she joked, but when she noticed my face get serious, "sorry, I didn't mean to offend you" she said and I quickly shook my head in response.

Placing my drink down on the coffee table, "I know most people think I'm a player so I say jokes like that, but it's not who I am" I confessed with a small smile. When she placed her drink next to mine, our eyes met, "you don't have to tell me if you don't want to" she said with a soft smile, but that was enough to encourage me to finally open up to someone.
