“Please don't say rise when you're talking about Cooper,” Allana said. “Because all I can picture is Cooper rising to the occasion.” Allana pointed to her crotch and simulated a dick with her hand.

“Gross,” Ruby said. “Why did you even have to put that image in my head? Now I'm never going to unsee it.”

Mae shrugged. “It’s not my fault if you have dirty minds.”

“Says the woman with the dirtiest mind of everyone here.” Ruby rolled her eyes.

“Wrong,” Mae said. “That honor goes to Allana, who has sex in public places.”

Allana fake gasped, putting a hand to her chest. “How dare you.” The stories of Allana and Shane getting it on in public were not secret. At least to their little group.

“Thank God we're talking about anything but me and my ridiculous problem,” Zara said. “Please keep talking about Cooper's junk and how it rises to the occasion.”

Everyone in the room laughed, and from there on out, it was just a fun night with friends.

When she returned home, she stripped out of her clothes, put on pajamas, and slid into bed. She’d purposely left her phone in the kitchen because the temptation to call Noah was strong. If her phone was anywhere near her, she’d cave. She tossed and turned for several hours until she decided it was futile. Throwing off the covers, she got up, pacing her bedroom. She knew Noah's schedule backward and forwards and not for any other reason but because she’d studied it many times over the last few days. Right now, he was in California on a ten-day home stretch. And he just so happened to have the day off.

A crazy thought ran through her head, and she let it take hold before she could shut it down. Before she could talk herself out of it, she was online buying herself a plane ticket to Los Angeles.

She was going to go and see Noah.

Chapter 11

––––––––

Noah

An incessant banging woke Noah from a fitful sleep. He hadn’t slept well in days.

Not since Zara had made her declaration.

Because it was his day off, he was super pissed at whoever it was banging on his door. If he had to guess, it was one of the guys trying to get him to do something.

Throwing his covers off, he padded downstairs, not giving a shit that he was only in his underwear, and threw the door open without even looking outside first.

He got the shock of his life.
