He was breathing heavily when she loosened her grip, fully caught up in the heat of the moment, and he rubbed his hand briskly up and down her back to clear the feeling.

"That was — something," Noble said, feeling on the verge of laughter himself. He was still hard and there was a significant part of him that regretted stopping even as he knew that they had to. But that had been something, a lot more urgency than they usually brought into this, and he hadn't really planned it.
