A Yearning Beyond Years Chapter Fifty
Stacey’s POV:The clock on Noah’s wall ticked louder than usual as the sun began to dip below the horizon, casting long shadows across his room. I was lying in his arms on the couch, tucked into his warmth, wrapped in that familiar scent of his skin, spiced cologne, and something uniquely him.But the peace was running out. His parents would be home soon.I sighed and sat up, brushing my fingers through my hair and smoothing the wrinkles in my blouse. “I should go.”Noah’s hand slid around my waist, pulling me back gently. “Not yet.”“We said we’d be careful, remember?” I glanced at the door, heart skipping. “They could walk in any minute.”“I know,” he murmured. “But I don’t want you to go.”His voice had that soft huskiness I’d come to love, the kind he only used when the rest of the world was shut out. He reached up and tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear, his gaze lingering.“I love you,” he said.My breath caught.Three words. Three small words, but the weight of them hit
A Yearning Beyond Years Chapter Forty Nine
Noah’s POV:Another knock.I froze.My heart skipped, then stumbled. I was still on the couch, the weight of everything Sophie said lingering like a bad taste in my mouth.Please, no. Not again.I stood slowly, knee stiff, body tense. My fingers curled into my palm as I approached the door. The last knock brought chaos. My pulse picked up. Every part of me braced for her, Sophie, round two.But when I opened the door, my breath hitched.It wasn’t Sophie.It was Stacey.Her.She stood in the doorway, her hair pulled into a messy bun like she’d thrown it up in a hurry, her cheeks flushed, her eyes, God, those eyes, soft and unsure, but lit with something deeper. Guilt? Fear? Regret?All I knew was that she was here.And suddenly, everything inside me stilled.Her eyes met mine. Apologetic. Soft. And full of that same vulnerability I always saw in her when no one else was looking.She opened her mouth. “I got your message,” she said quietly. “I’m sorry for… disappearing like that.”My th
A Yearning Beyond Years Chapter Forty Eight
Noah’s POV:Sophie didn’t speak right away.She just stood there, eyes wide, mouth parted slightly, like my confession had knocked the breath out of her lungs. As if somewhere in her twisted, deluded world, she hadn’t actually expected me to say it out loud.But I had.Clear as day.“Yes,” I had said, looking her dead in the eye. I loved Stacey. No excuses. No hesitation.The silence between us buzzed.Then something shifted in her face. The disbelief melted away, and in its place, something darker bloomed. Her mouth closed. Her jaw tensed. And her fingers, those perfectly manicured claws, curled into trembling fists.“I will have you, Noah,” she whispered, her voice low and eerie, like a curse spoken through clenched teeth. “Even if it takes me destroying every woman in your life.”Her eyes burned like embers. “I’ll make you love me.”And then, she turned on her heel and walked out.She didn’t slam the door. Didn’t scream. She just walked out as if she had left behind a bomb and was
A Yearning Beyond Years Chapter Forty Seven
Noah’s POV:It wasn’t Stacey.It was Sophie.And just like that, my entire mood shifted.“What the hell are you doing here?” I growled, not even trying to hide the venom in my voice.She leaned against the doorway like she owned the place, her glossy lips curling into a smile that made my stomach turn. “You look like you were expecting someone else,” she said sweetly. I stood frozen, my fists clenched, jaw tight. I couldn’t believe the audacity. After everything, she still had the nerve to show up here.Her entire body oozed smugness, like she had just walked off a runway and into my worst nightmare.“Hey stranger,” she cooed, tilting her head to the side. “You gonna invite me in, or should I just assume this scowl means ‘I missed you’?”My heart dropped straight into my stomach.Without a word, I stepped aside.She sauntered in like she owned the place, the heels of her boots tapping softly on the hardwood floor, her perfume invading my lungs. She turned to me with a sly smile as I
A Yearning Beyond Years Chapter Forty Six
Noah’s POV:This wasn’t how I envisioned this to be, but here I was, lying on the couch, trying to dial the same number for the past three days, and there was no answer, absolutely no way to reach her.Was it so bad that I wanted her close? Did I want her in my arms like any other man would want his woman?A laugh escaped me, sounding so bitter I couldn’t even believe it was mine. Here I was, sitting on the couch, trying to watch TV because I couldn’t go to practice because I decided to save a woman who doesn’t seem to like the idea that we’re different ages.She thought I didn’t know.It had always been written all over her face. She still thinks about her ex-husband, and she still doubts our love could hold strong when faced in public, but still I never pulled back. I still craved her like a drug addict unable to quit a drug. I still wanted her. Hell, I never wanted just sex to begin with. But here I was, dating a woman I’ve loved since the first day of college, but…You doubt she
A Yearning Beyond Years Chapter Forty Five
Stacey’s POV:My heart launched to my throat as I watched the woman look at me with such judgment, like she could actually make me disappear. But I swallowed, holding on to Noah's hand."Yes, I'm Noah's professor, and I didn’t know what happened, but I found him leaping and decided to bring him home," I smiled, and I could feel Noah’s eyes on me.I could hear my voice, my lie drumming in my ears.This was for the best.This was for the best.I chanted in my head while my mind went into a complete frenzy. His mum was still glaring at our joint hands, which I refused to let go of. When I looked at Noah, my heart immediately went still.Hurt filled his eyes, hell, it was more like tears, which made my heartbeat race a thousand miles per hour. I gave him a slight smile, but he turned to his father like he understood what I was trying to portray.But a part of me ached. I had denied him in front of the people he loved the most after telling him this was official, that we were finally offic
