Noah's New Plan - 31. Chapter 31

Noah bit back a surprised gasp as Eli pulled him up and tossed him onto his back. He spread his legs eagerly as Eli settled between them.

His eyes fluttered shut when Eli's lips touched his stomach. He was on the verge of panting, anticipating what was to come. Eli pressed a trail of kisses up Noah's chest and neck, then his chin.

"Wrong way," Noah muttered. He gave Eli's shoulder a gentle nudge, trying to direct him back down.

Eli's cell phone rang again, the vibrations harsh against the smooth surface of the wooden nightstand.

They'd ignored earlier when it went off, just as Eli was coming in Noah's mouth.

Eli lowered himself onto Noah and kissed him, his tongue sliding inside Noah's mouth to languidly explore.

He pulled back slightly to whisper, "I can taste myself on your lips."

Not so long ago, those words would have set Noah blushing with embarrassment. After these passionate months with Eli, it only made him hotter.

"Why don't you taste me now?" he whispered back. He pushed his hips up, grinding his dripping erection into Eli's fuzzy stomach while also giving Eli's head another nudge, this time a little more insistent.

"This what you want?" Eli asked as he kissed, licked, and nibbled a trail down Noah's neck, down the middle of his chest.

"Yes," Noah pleaded desperately. His hands moved to the top of Eli's shaved head, applying pressure while pressing his hips up, trying to angle his dick toward Eli's mouth.

"Someone's hot for it tonight."

"Eli, please."

Eli snickered. He kissed Noah's belly button. "Please what?"

The head of Noah's dick pressed against the bottom of Eli's chin. The sharp whiskers of his chin bit the sensitive skin and Noah shuddered. "Please suck me. I want you so—"

Eli's phone rang again. The third time in ten minutes.

When Noah felt Eli's weight shift, he wanted to cry. He sat up on his elbows. "No, leave it."

Eli stretched out and picked up the phone. "It's my mom."

Noah sighed and flopped back on the bed. He wondered if he might die from a severe case of blue balls. Cockblocked by the mom.

"Hello?" Eli sat up, swinging his legs over the bed.

A wicked grin spread across Noah's face. He moved up behind Eli and began kissing the back of the man's neck. He wrapped his arms around the big barrel chest and scratched his fingers through the fur he found there.

Eli didn't respond the way Noah was hoping. As his body went rigid, Noah pulled back.

"We'll be there… We're leaving now." Eli hung up the phone.

Noah slipped off the bed so he could see Eli's face. "What's wrong?"

It took a moment for Eli to focus on Noah. "It's my dad. He's had a heart attack."

They found Sheila Holmes waiting in the emergency room.

"Mom."

Sheila stood as Eli scooped her in his arms and hugged her tight. When she finally pulled away from Eli, Noah gave her a hug. She held onto him tightly and Noah just let her hold on as long as she wanted to.

"Have you heard anything?" Eli asked.

"No." Sheila shook her head. She sniffled, then wiped her nose with a handkerchief.

"I'll be right back."

Noah took her hand and the two sat down.

She smiled at Noah, polite though she had no reason to be smiling right now. "Thank you for coming out."

"Of course. Where else would we be right now?"

Noah squeezed Martha's hand. He glanced over at Eli, talking with the nurse at the triage desk, then turned back to Martha.

Where else would he be indeed?

It was a long wait before the doctor had the test results.

In the end it was what he called a "mild episode," much to the relief of everyone. It could have been far worse. Still, it meant John was going to have make some changes. He needed to start eating healthier, cut back on the drinking and the cigars. With a dedicated wife like Sheila, Noah was positive those changes would be implemented and John would stick with them, whether he liked it or not.

The doctor wanted to keep Eli's father in the hospital overnight. They all decided to head home for the night, then return in the morning.

"Stay with me tonight," Eli whispered when they got back in the truck.

Noah reached over and grabbed Eli's hand. "Of course. No way would I leave you tonight."

Abruptly, Eli turned and grabbed Noah's face in his hands. His kiss was hard, bordering on desperate. When Eli ended the kiss, he made no move to break apart from Noah. Noah could feel him trembling. He wondered if maybe this was the first time Eli had come close to losing someone so close to him.

Eli's voice cracked. "I love you, baby."

"I love you, too, Eli."

"I want you to stay with me. Not just tonight."

"Eli... Are you asking me to move in with you?"
