Noah tried to gauge her clenching her legs together. If it was a bad thing he needed to stop toying with her skirt, a good thing...well he wasn't sure he could get home from Ann Arbor fast enough. Instead he stilled his fingers to see what would happen. If she looked uncomfortable, he'd stop.
"I will admit to bein' a man, and I'm not ashamed of that, but seein' you whip that girl's behind wouldn't have been somethin' I objected to." He said honestly. "I know you got to keep that anger reigned in, for the safety of yourself and us, your family, but at the same time..." he took in a breath and grinned letting it out. "Damn if it did not turn me right on seeing you so aggressive." he said looking sheepish. "But like I said...I'm a man." He shook his head. he couldn't help himself.
He let go of her hair and traced the back of his finger tips along her cheek. "That dress there is driving some of the men in here 'bout wild." He said scanning the room. There were a few men that were looking over at her. "Men can tell when there's a wild cat loose...what they fail to notice is that you're mine all mine." He said, trying to keep the playfulness up. The evening, though it had veered off what he'd expected, didn't mean it had to end there.
