Chapter Ten

Noah stared up at his bedroom ceiling wondering what had awakened him. The night before, he’d fallen into bed exhausted and pleasantly satisfied by Zoe’s oral skills. The memory of her mouth on him had him hard and throbbing again. He’d known they’d be good together, but, damn, if it got any better than that it might kill him. And he knew it could be better. He’d wanted to taste her, despite her wishes to wait for more, not just to please her, but because he needed her sweet flavor on his tongue.

A loud knock sounded at his door. Noah assumed that this wasn’t the person’s first time knocking since they sounded impatient. Then his cell started ringing. He snatched off the nightstand and answered even as he rolled out of bed.

He’d gone to bed naked so he grabbed up a pair of briefs and struggled to get them on with one hand. “Hello?”

“Are you in there? Could you let me in?”

“Avery? Don’t you have anything better to do with your mornings?”

“Please, Noah. Avery and I broke up.”

“What?” He pulled on his jeans and fastened them. “Between last night and this morning? When did you find the time?”

“I’ll explain when you let me in.”

“Be right there.” He opened a drawer and grabbed the first t-shirt he came across. He put it on before opening the door and ran his fingers through his hair to calm it as best he could. He’d gone to bed without showering so yesterday evening’s hair products still had somewhat of a hold on it, though there may have been a few rebellious strays going their own way.

He let Avery in and she headed directly to his kitchen and began the preparations for coffee. “You’re getting low on coffee,” she said.

Noah shrugged and took a seat at the kitchen table. Avery liked to come to him after her breakups, but he was never sure if she was going to open up about the cause. Whether she did or didn’t, he would always be there for her. “I don’t drink it,” he said. “Ty spends his mornings with Julie. And you haven’t been around to drink it.”

She paused in the act of scooping out coffee grounds. “I’m sorry about that. I shouldn’t have…. I guess that’s why I feel like this thing with you and Zoe just came out of the blue. I feel like there’s this wide gaping void opening up between us.”

“Avery you don’t have to worry about that. We’ll always be friends.”

“Are you sure?” She leaned back against the counter and studied him. “None of your women friends have been more than casual before. How can you know she won’t try to come between us? Shit!” She lowered her voice. “I hadn’t even thought. Is she here?”

Noah chuckled. “Little late to be asking that, isn’t it? No, Zoe’s not here.”

Her eyebrows rose. “You mean you sent her home after? You know, you’re not supposed to do that with your girlfriends.”

“We didn’t-” He glanced down and cleared his throat.
