Back at the forest base, Noah had just finished his daily meeting with Reginald, discussing various tasks they needed to tackle.
From the corner of his eye, he noticed Ella walking into one of the warehouses.
"Then I will see you at the same time tomorrow," he said to Reginald respectfully.
Reginald smiled and excused himself to find his wife.
Noah quietly slipped over to the warehouse where he had seen Ella go. It was the housing items warehouse, and when he entered, he didn’t see anyone inside.
Walking further in, he weaved through the various shelves, looking for the familiar woman. He finally spotted her rummaging through a basket in the clothing section.
He glanced around the warehouse once more, ensuring that no one else was around, then snuck up behind her.
To prevent Ella from screaming, he quickly reached around and placed his hand over her mouth.
Ella jolted upright, startled that someone else was there with her.
"Shhh, it’s just me, babe," Noah whispered, then moved his hand away.
Ella quickly turned around to see the handsome redhead staring down at her.
"Noah! What are you doing here?" she asked in a hushed voice, looking around to make sure no one else was nearby.
"Don’t worry, it’s just us," he smiled, pulling her into his arms for a kiss.

Ella’s body flushed with excitement, eagerly accepting his kiss. They didn’t get to see each other in private often, so these rare moments of intimacy were very special to her.
She wrapped her arms around his neck, deepening the kiss even more.
Noah pushed her back, pressing her against one of the shelves, causing a slight rattling sound.
"Careful!" she giggled.
Noah smiled and dove back in to kiss her. One of his hands held her head while the other trailed up and down her back.
They continued kissing, thirsting for each other’s touch. Noah pulled the neckline of her shirt down and began kissing her collarbone and shoulders, leaving a trail of small marks.
Ella placed a hand over her mouth to muffle the moans escaping her lips.
She felt her body burn with desire.
"I’ll go and bring you some shoes! You said size 7, right?" Mila’s voice sounded from the entrance of the warehouse.
Noah quickly pulled away, allowing Ella to fix her shirt.
Mila walked over with a warm smile. "Oh, hello there, Ella, Noah. What are you two doing here?"
Noah nodded. "Hello, Mila, how are you? I’m here for... uh... socks! Yes, I need a new pair of socks," he quickly added.
Ella’s face turned red. "Hi, Mila. I was looking for a new shirt. I’ve been wearing the same three shirts for a while now, so I decided to find something new," she said quietly.
Mila nodded in understanding. "Well, I won’t hold you up. I just need to find some new shoes for Laura—her feet are swelling, so hopefully, there’s something more comfortable here."
She then walked over to the shoe section and began rummaging through. Ella kept looking at the ground while Noah grabbed a random pair of socks he didn’t need.
