“Noel.” It comes out as a whisper this time, as a plea. That connection from the club, that thing that passed between us, it’s right here, close enough to grasp. It’s tenuous, fleeting, waiting to see if we’re brave enough to seize it.
Phew, the steam in this one – Bellamy and Noel were explosive together and their chemistry was fantastic! I had a great time reading Bellamy, and Linden Bell did a wonderful job of writing the emotions and rivalry of Bellamy and Noel. Noel really knew how to hold on to his grudge, that’s for sure…
I enjoyed the banter and playfulness that their rivalry turned into. Even if the steam was set to high, there was a lot more going on, and I honestly didn’t expect the depth that I found in their story.
A great story if you’re looking for a fun rivals to lovers with plenty of steam!
There’s so much of me and Noel in that video, and the thing is, I don’t even understand what most of it is. It’s so raw and unfiltered, so gritty and unrefined.
