Lusting (Carnal Sins Of Noah Trilogy #1) (21 page)

He swallowed hard, his Adams apple bobbed, as he formed the question. "Why did you bring these flowers here?"

She frowned, "Noah, you sent me those flowers. And I was just coming to give them back and to tell you that I will not be meeting you tomorrow. That I'm not at your beck and call!"

His whole body went cold.

"Alexis...I didn't send you those flowers."

Her eyes widened as she nodded, "Yes, you even put your initials, N.K., on the card."

And she reached in her pocket to pull out the card and handed it to him.

Mack came forward, intercepting the card and read it aloud.

Dearest Alexis
,

Please forgive me. I'd like to meet with you tomorrow night at Finley's Warf, if you aren't too busy. I have a surprise for you. I hope you truly love the flowers, I heard they are worth dying for
.

Yours Truly
,

N.K
.

Fuck! Double Fuck!

"Sir, if my hunch is right, these flowers are poisonous. I'll get rid of them immediately and you both need to wash your hands thoroughly."

Noah nodded and Mack rushed toward the flowers, taking it outside with the card.

And then he realized something. Something that he struggled with every waking moment of his life. Something that lurked in every dark shadow of every corner of every room. Something that haunted him in every dream he’d ever had.

Maybe I didn’t kill my mother
.

"Poisonous? Why...who would…I don't understand." Alexis sputtered, her breathing escalating.

Oh no!

Noah shook his head to clear it and raced to her side, but doesn't touch her. He didn't want the poison that could've been on the card to get anywhere else.

"It's ok. I won't let anything happen to you. I promise. You'll stay here until we can figure out what's going on. I promise, you're safe here. Now let’s wash our hands and get you out of those jeans."

Alexis’s eyes widened further.

Wrong words, wrong time
.

"Not like that Alexis. Not that I don't want to...but, I meant because the card was in your jeans. They're contaminated. We need to get rid of them."

“Oh.”

She visibly relaxed and it irked him just a bit. Then he shoved that away and focused on the task at hand. They needed to decontaminate themselves.

A half hour later, Alexis merged from his room, hair wet and in a pair of his pj's.

Of course she chose his favorite pair. But Noah didn't mind. She looked hot in his clothes. Just like she did before, two weeks ago. He hardened instantly, painfully.

Fuck!

He just finished taking a cold shower. It didn't help cool his desire for her one bit. When he noticed she was not wearing a bra, he groaned and looked away.

She’s not feeling well damn it! Calm yourself
.

The next few days or however long it would take to find out who sent her the flowers, was going to be another type of hell for Noah, which would take all of his strength to endure.

A hell where he couldn’t give into the sinful flesh his body craved, wanting more than one night.

A hell made from want, passion and desire that called to the very heart of his being.

A hell he would have to be in, in order to restrain himself from the carnal sin that plagued him.

My carnal sin of pure lust
.

For her
.

Only her
.

My Alexis Monroe
.
