Unforgettable (Haven Falls 4)

He gapes down at me. “I don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.”

I narrow my eyes on him. There’s a lot of things I’m not sure about, but this isn’t one of them. “Alright, alright, I get it. You’ve locked yourself pretty damn tight in the closet, but quit stressing about it. I’m not going to announce it to the world.”

Aiden glances around in a panic, realizing he’s unable to hide it from me. “Would you keep your mouth shut?” he demands with a low, urgent whisper. “How do you even know that?”

“I mean…you’re looking at Noah like you’re about to cum in your pants and you haven’t even pretended to gawk at the girls around here.”

“Fuck,” he curses with a grunt. “Is it that obvious? I’m not out of the closet and I can’t let people know. Not when I play ball. The guys on the team will beat the shit out of me if they knew.”

My brows draw down. “These guys aren’t that bad.”

“Trust me, no matter what team I’m on, they’re all the same.”

I let out a sigh hating that he’s right. I mean, it’s the twenty-first century. Times have moved along, so you’d think humanity could move along too, but no matter where you go, there’s always going to be haters. “I’m sorry,” I cringe. “But don’t worry. Your secret is safe with me as long as you don’t plan on stealing my boyfriend and making him fall for your wicked ways.”

Aiden smirks down at me before glancing over his shoulder and taking in Noah once again. “I can’t make any promises. That guy is fine. Those arms and those tats. Fuck.”

I look over his shoulder, taking in the very sight that he is. “Yeah,” I sigh. “It’s pure perfection. But be warned, just because I’m happy to keep your secret and more than happy to perve on him with you, doesn’t mean that others aren’t. If you want to keep it quiet, especially around here, you need to work on your game face. It’s written all over you.”

“Really?”

“Uh huh,” I say, continuing to feast my eyes upon Noah. “I’m not surprised though; Noah could turn even the hardest man gay.”

“Damn straight, he could,” Aiden murmurs.

I grin up at him, reluctantly pulling my eyes away from Noah. “Wait until you see the eyes.”

“Damn it,” he groans. “This is what I was trying to avoid.”

“Huh?”

“Hot guys,” he explains. “They’re the worst for me trying to keep my sexuality in the closet. I can’t help but stare, especially at guys like that,” he says, nodding towards Noah.

I press my lips together, deep in thought. “You need a cover.”

“How do you mean?”

“Just come around to Noah’s place after school,” I tell him.

Aiden’s eyes narrow on mine. “Why? Thrusting that sex demon in my face isn’t going to help my urge to gawk at him day in and day out.”

“Just trust me, ok? Noah’s into blonde hair and blue eyes. You’re like the boy version of me so believe me, the last thing I want is you around my boyfriend.”

“Shit, I’d have fun turning a guy like him.”

“Stay away,” I warn.

As if sensing my eyes roaming over his skin, Noah looks up and takes me in. Realizing that I’m enjoying the view, a sexy smirk cuts across his face. “Oh, shit. Look at that,” Aiden murmurs beside me.

I laugh and within the blink of an eye, Noah is studying Aiden, taking in his closeness and the way his body is leaned in towards mine. He stands.

Shit. This is going to be interesting.

I can’t help but grin. Do I tell him or do I not? After all, I did promise Aiden that his secret was safe with me. Besides, it’s not my secret to tell. With that decided, I prepare myself for a little entertainment, loving how jealously overtakes my boyfriend.

A warm, masterpiece of an arm slides around my waist, pulling me in hard against a strong body and in the process, moving me a step away from Aiden. “What’s going on here?” Noah questions, his voice low in warning and his eyes already on Aiden like he’s some kind of threat.

Little does he know that he’s a threat to me, not to Noah.

Aiden’s hands fly up in innocence but the desire in his eyes is as clear as anything. Naturally, Noah mistakes the desire from his time with me, though to me, it’s obvious that Noah’s possessiveness and outright dominate alpha show is what’s doing it for Aiden. Hell, it’s doing it for me too. I might have to go and find one of those supply closets I was telling Aiden about.

“Yo, man,” Aiden says, probably a little weak at having the full effect of Noah’s stare on him. “We’re just talking.”

Noah scoffs and I can’t help but grin. That big old goofball. His fingers tighten on my waist and I find myself trying to calm him. Placing my hand over his on my waist, I lean into him. “No, really. It’s fine. I was assigned to be his tour guide for the day.”
