Harlie stood outside Noah's apartment. Her palms were sweating and she compulsively rubbed them on her jean shorts. Summer was in full swing and it was hotter than Lucifer's ass. She rang his doorbell and waited. There were no sounds coming from behind the door. With a grimace, she pulled her phone from her back pocket to check the address Noah had sent her. It was correct.

Ringing the doorbell again, she continued to wait. Sweat beaded on her forehead. Unfortunately, she couldn't blame summer on that. The hallway of his apartment building was comfortably cool. She waited a few more minutes then rang the bell for the last time. She refused to stay outside a man's apartment, looking desperate. A small noise came from behind the door and she took a deep breath. A strong smell of onions hit her nose. She panicked. Attempting to do a quick check of her deodorant. Someone cleared their throat when she had just shoved her nose in her armpit. Harlie spun around with her face still in her pit.

"Hi," Noah said with a sheepish grin.

"Hi." Her voice was a bit muffled, thanks to where her face was.

She stood straight, trying to play off that she wasn't just checking her deodorant's durability.

"Wanna come in?"

Harlie turned back to the door she'd just been accosting. "Isn't this you?"

Noah shook his head. "No. The stupid number keeps coming unglued and swings down. I usually tell people that, but I was so excited you'd agreed to come over that I forgot to tell you. Sorry."

"Oh. I hope I didn't just disturb your neighbor."

"Nope. That's an empty apartment. It was just me who noticed you were checking to see if you put deodorant on." He huffed out a laugh.

Harlie felt her face heat.

"Come on in. I want you to meet Reggie."

She smiled at him then followed him into the apartment. Harlie looked around the impressive apartment. They'd never talked about what Noah did, but from the looks, it was pretty high profile.

"Harlie. Want anything to drink?" Noah said from the kitchen.

"Sure. Water would be great," Harlie said absently as she wandered through his expansive living room.

She was looking intently at a family photo when she heard a humming noise coming toward her. It was one of those automatic vacuums. When she went to turn back to the picture, the vacuum caught her eye. Riding on top of the vacuum was a rodent wearing a crown and cape.

"What the fuck?" Harlie said.

Noah came in with two glasses and looked where she was looking. "That is Reggie. However, he likes being addressed as Sir Reginald Von Boopersnoot."

Harlie blinked at him. Now, she knew why he was single. Noah was a sandwich shy of a picnic.

"I don't know what to say," Harlie managed to sputter.

Noah sat on the couch and watched Reggie riding around. "He's weird. My sister moved with her husband when he got stationed over in Germany. They weren't allowed to bring Reggie. So, last weekend I became a chinchilla owner."

"A chinchilla," Harlie muttered. Finding words was pretty difficult in her brain at that moment.

"Yep. He's a pain in the ass. Good thing he's cute."

"So, did you just invite me over to have sexy times? You didn't have to pretend about training."

He choked on the water he'd just sipped then began coughing. "Sexy times?"

Harlie shrugged then sat next to him.

"Well, despite what you may think, I did ask you for training. That little monster is a terror around here."

"What does he do?"

"He steals underwear, shits in my shoes and does that?" Noah pointed to him riding around.

"Reggie rides around looking imperious?"

"Exactly. He's a pompous ass."

A laugh bubbled up from Harlie. She couldn't contain it for long and she bent over laughing. The seriousness of Noah's face while calling a chinchilla a pompous ass was too funny.

"Are you laughing at my predicament?" Noah asked.

That just sent Harlie into another fit of laughter. Noah took that moment to pounce on her. He started tickling her making her laugh even harder.

"Stop...oh my god...stop. You're going to make me pee my pants." Harlie panted through laughs.

"Are you going to stop laughing at me?" he asked.

Harlie shook her head with a grin. Noah started tickling again.

"Ok. Ok. I will stop laughing at you."

Noah had a triumphant look on his face. Harlie watched as a flame of desire ignited in his eyes. He leaned into her body. Bringing his lips closer to hers. Her tongue wet her bottom lip. His eyes latched onto that movement.

"I want to kiss you again. Can I?"

Those elephant-sized butterflies began their gymnastics again. Without a word, Harlie slid her hand behind his neck, pulling him in for a kiss.

The moment their lips met, the world slowed, and everything around them faded away. The same thing had happened when she'd kissed him in the restaurant. His soft lips massaged hers. Damn if he wasn't a talented kisser. When his tongue touched hers, everything sped back up, and the passion between them flared. She wrapped her leg around his hip, encouraging him to grind against her.

Noah pulled back. "We don't have to-"

His sentence was cut off when Harlie quickly removed her shirt and bra. She reached for the bottom of his shirt, but he was already ripping it over his head. In a matter of moments, they were both naked with clothes scattered around the living room. Noah slid down her body, kissing from her collarbone to her nipples. With each pull, he took of her nipple her hips shot up. She needed more. His eyes met hers as he slid his hand down her stomach to the wet apex between her thighs. Harlie threw her head back and moaned when he slid a single finger inside her.

"Damn baby, you're so tight." He said as he kissed further down her body.

"It's been awhile." She breathed out.

She moaned when he removed his finger to be replaced with his tongue swiping through her sex. Noah took two more swipes, but when Harlie got impatient, she shoved his had further into her pussy. She wanted more. He grinned, slid two fingers in while taking her clit between his teeth. Lightning filled with pleasure shot through her. It had been so long since someone had done that it felt incredible. She'd never been so close to an orgasm that quickly.

"Don't come yet, baby. I want that on my cock." He went back to bringing her ever closer to the edge.

"You better fucking stop then. I'm so close, Noah."

With another pull on her clit he stood from the couch and left the living room. Harlie's passion addled brain was so amped she didn't even realize he left until she was watching him sheath his cock in a condom.

"Still ready for me?" Noah slid two fingers back in and swirled her clit with his thumb.

"Fuck!" Harlie bowed her back off the couch.

"That's my girl."

Noah positioned himself at her entrance then slid all the way to the hilt in one movement. They both moaned. He filled her like no other man she'd been with ever had. It was as if they were made for each other. Harlie looked up and saw a grimace on his face.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm calculating math equations."

"Why?" Harlie shifted her hips causing them both to inhale a breath.

"You feel too good, Harlie. I'm trying not to be a minute man."

Harlie reached up and cupped his cheek tenderly. When his eyes met hers, she said, "You need to start fucking me now or I'm going to take things into my own hands."

A sexy as sin smile quirked his lips. "Hold on, baby. I promise next time will be better."

Noah pulled out, then slammed into her. His cock curved just right to hit her g-spot each time. Chills ran through her body. As he pounded into her pussy, he reached between their bodies and rubbed her clit. She was instantly back at the precipice. Then he pinched her clit and she saw stars. Her pussy clamped onto his cock. Three more pumps and he moaned out her name. She was barely there when he came. The orgasm was so good it felt like an out of body experience. His full weight collapsed on her.

"Sorry. I will move in just a moment." It was muffled with his face buried in her breasts.

"Ok."

They lay their together. Harlie's hand absently ran from his head to his sweat covered shoulders. As her senses came back to her, she realized that fifteen minutes after showing up to train an animal, she was naked and he was inside her. She wasn't quite sure what that made her, but thanks to his orgasms, she didn't care.

Noah lifted from her. "I will be right back."

He finally slid from her. An emptiness already filled her. She watched his naked form walk toward a darkened hallway. The roaming vacuum drew her attention. It was missing its rodent passenger. With a sigh, she sat up. Gathering her clothes, she didn't see her bra and underwear anywhere. Where the hell could they have gone? She walked around the room, looking under furniture. Their sex had been wild but not that wild.

"I like seeing this view in my living room."

Harlie looked over her shoulder. Noah stood in a pair of blue basketball shorts and nothing else. Damn if she wasn't ready for some more of that. When he licked his lips, she noticed a growing bulge. It was then she realized she was still naked, on all fours looking under his couch. She felt a blush color her face. Quickly, she sat up grabbing her t-shirt.

"Sorry. I was looking for my bra and panties. Did we throw them somewhere?"

Noah sighed. "Reggie."

"Reggie?"

"I bet that little prick stole them while we were...uhm...busy." He smirked.

"We weren't busy that long," Harlie stated.

"Well, we were busy for a semi-significant amount of time." Noah cleared his throat.

It took all of Harlie's will power to not roll her eyes. Men and their insecurities.

"Anyway, do you know where he could have taken my undergarments?"

"Let me check." Noah went back down the hallway.

Harlie sat on the couch. The air conditioner must have been going full blast because the sweat from their activities was not cooling on her skin. She shivered then bent down to put on her shorts. Screw her panties. She was freezing. Cursing drew her attention. Harlie got up and walked where Noah had disappeared.

"Look, you little prick, those aren't yours. If you bite me again, I'm going to feed you to the neighbor's snake."

"What's going on?" Harlie asked from the doorway of Noah's office.

He sighed. "It looks like Reggie has claimed your stuff as his own. I'm sorry. He's already bit me twice."

Shit. That was one of her favorite sets of underwear. With a strained smile, she said, "Don't worry about it. I can't say you didn't warn me about him being a panty raider."

"I promise I will retrieve them. It's just that he's being especially prickish right now."

"It's fine."

Harlie and Noah stood awkwardly in his office. What happened next? They'd had sex on his couch when she was technically supposed to be working. Was that all he wanted? Well, wasn't she easy. It served her right if he just dropped her on her ass.

"Are you hungry?" he asked.

"Not really. I had a late lunch." Harlie bit her lip. She couldn't take the awkwardness. "I guess I should go."

"No." He snapped out.

She blinked at him with his abrupt tone.

"Sorry. I didn't mean for that to sound like you couldn't. It's just that I'd really like for you to stay." Noah blushed.

"Ok." Harlie walked to him and slid her hands around him.

He pulled her closer. "Will you be my girlfriend?"

It sounded so juvenile and outdated. However, it still gave her a little thrill. This hot guy wanted her to be his.

"Yes." Harlie stood on her toes, meeting his lips with hers.
