Ava crossed one leg over the other, slow and deliberate, like she had all the time in the world. Her fingers tapped lightly on the armrest; her eyes were fixed on the glass door.

She’s coming.

She didn’t need anyone to say it, she felt the energy shift the moment Nora stepped onto the floor. That quiet tempest she always carried… pretending not to feel.

Let’s see how well she pretends today, Ava thought, lips curving into a slow, satisfied smile. She’s not going to like this. Not one bit.

It wasn’t just seeing him that would bother her. it was the fact that Ava Marshal was sitting with him.

And like clockwork, the door opened. Nora walked in.

Ava smirked the moment she caught the annoyed look in Nora’s eyes. "You look more alive now," she said. "I thought you died."

But Nora didn’t answer. She moved like Ava was furniture, something to step around, not acknowledge.

Eyes locked on Noah, she asked coolly, “You sent for me?”

It was the first time she’d seen him since coming back f

  • Non~Contracted: The Heart Doesn't Need a Contract to Break   Chapter 70 ~ Devoured by Him

    ϖϖϖϖϖNora moved under him, gripping him tighter as heat rushed through her.Every nerve drawn tight, every part of her screaming for more. Her hips rocked instinctively, chasing the ache thudding deep in her core.“Noah…” she moaned, lips parted, her voice shook with need.His mouth was still on her breast, like he couldn’t get enough. “Tell me what you want,” he murmured, his voice rough.“You,” she gasped, clawing at the jacket still clinging to his shoulders. Her trembling body craved skin, his warmth, his strength.“Good,” Noah growled.In one swift motion, he yanked off his shirt and sat her up. With steady hands, he slid the straps of her gown down her arms, letting the silver fabric pool at her waist.Nora opened her mouth to protest, but his kiss swallowed the words, burning and wordless, silencing her doubts.His fingers unclasped her lingerie. As he drew it down her arms, Nora tensed and turned slightly, feeling shy about her body.A wife. A mother of two. A woman whose bod

  • Non~Contracted: The Heart Doesn't Need a Contract to Break   Chapter 69 ~ Loving you is all I know

    ϖϖϖϖϖDespite the pull of desire tightening in his chest and lower half, Noah held back.Even with Nora’s hands clasped behind his neck and her lips whispering pleas against his, he knew:Some things couldn’t be rushed.Not this moment. She deserved more than his hunger.His forehead pressed to hers, their breaths tangled. Then came his whisper, “Wait, Nora…” The moment the words left his lips, he regretted it.He saw it in her too… the ache, the disappointment, the flame beneath her gaze.Though their bodies remained pressed, chest to chest, neither moved. Her fingers gripped his nape, unwilling to let go, and he stood suspended in a battle between restraint and craving.Nora’s voice was barely a breath. “Don’t stop.”Her grip tightened. Her heart… barely held together… pressed to his. That quiet plea opens something inside him.Noah growled softly… a sound of surrender, not dominance… and his lips found hers again, this time deeper, slower, more reverent.He kissed her like a man w

  • Non~Contracted: The Heart Doesn't Need a Contract to Break   Chapter 68 ~ Truth in the Afterglow

    ϖϖϖϖϖNoah pressed his ear gently against the door; James’s rant echoed distantly down the hall… frustrated.Then came the fading sound of footsteps.He exhaled slowly and leaned against the door, shutting his eyes for a second.“Persistent bastard,” he muttered under his breath before turning fully to face Nora.He was hungry for her.Nora stood a few feet away, trying to compose herself. She hadn’t realized how tightly her thoughts had knotted until now… how quickly logic had returned the second their bodies weren’t touching.Distance.It had cleared her mind just enough to admit what she’d been too scared to face head-on:She still loved this man. God help her, she did.And though Noah hadn’t said the words... not neatly, not romantically, what he’d declared out there, with James standing between them, had said more than any love confession ever could.“You’re mine... and I’m yours.”He wasn’t trying to claim ownership of her; it was what he truly felt.But her mind was a mess; Jam

  • Non~Contracted: The Heart Doesn't Need a Contract to Break   Chapter 67 ~ What Comes After Desire

    ϖϖϖϖϖNora didn’t understand what was happening. Every spot he touched burned like fire against her skin. Her mind screamed that she was supposed to be furious—to push him away, to demand answers—but her body had stopped listening.Overwhelmed by emotion and desire, she clutched the back of Noah’s neck tighter, pulling him closer. Her lips crushed against his with a hunger she didn’t know she still had. She was angry, broken, confused… and still, she couldn’t let go.Noah, barely hanging onto reason, pulled his mouth from hers just long enough to breathe. His forehead pressed gently against hers, their chests heaving in sync.“Damn, lady,” he whispered, panting hard against her lips. “Are you trying to drive me insane?”His hands stayed locked around the small of her back, while her fingers remained laced behind his neck.Even in that closeness, Nora felt

  • Non~Contracted: The Heart Doesn't Need a Contract to Break   Chapter 66 ~ My Desire

    ϖϖϖϖϖNoah stood frozen at the threshold, chest heaving, breaths uneven from the mad sprint he’d just made through the maze of corridors. His hands trembled at his sides—not from exhaustion, but from the rage rising inside him.The sight before him was ordinary, even: a man brushing hair from a woman’s face.Yet to Noah, it landed like a punch to the gut. Was I always this weak? He thought bitterly.Unaware of the storm raging inside him, James smirked. “What a coincidence,” he said, tilting his head. “Didn’t expect to see you here. If I recall, you’ve never been the type to show up at parties like this.”“I—eh,” Noah paused, trying to steady his breath. “Is that so?” he muttered, his voice hoarse as his gaze shifted to Nora. She was staring right at him.James cocked a brow, noticing his labored breathing. “Why are

    ϖϖϖϖϖNoah’s jaw clenched so hard it ached.The surrounding noise faded, drowned out by the thrum in his ears... rage, confusion.“What do you mean, she’s with someone else?” he snapped, glaring at the couple too entangled in each other to bother with decency. His voice wasn’t calm. It wasn’t even close. “Who the hell is that?”“Gee, I don’t know, Noah,” Mira answered coolly, her tone taut with disinterest. “You don’t expect me to keep tabs on her, do you?”“The last time I checked, you were right beside her,” he growled. “So, yeah. I expect answers.”“Watch it, Bamford,” Lucian warned, stepping forward with a low growl in his voice. “She said she doesn’t know.”Noah’s eyes darted between them. “And I’m just supposed to swallow that?”Lucian’s face darkened. “Believe what you want. No one’s stopping you.” Then, with a deliberate calmness, he added, “If you want to know where she is, try doing what any man in love would do—go find her.” He sat down.Noah threw up his arms. “Have you se
