“Don’t knock it—you could be next,” Hunter quipped.

Noah chuckled.“Not for a damn long time.”

Bailey walked back toward him, smiling.“What’s wrong?”she asked, glancing between the two men.

“Nothing’s wrong,” Hunter assured her.“I just have to get back home to Emma.Take care of Noah,” he said with a wink.

“Will do,” she assured him.

They said goodbye to the others, and then Noah took her hand, and they went off to gather their luggage.

NOAH PULLED UP TO BAILEY’Sapartment building thirty minutes later, grabbing both of their bags from the back of his Jeep.She eyed him, a smile tugging on her lips as he set both suitcases down in the parking lot and slammed the back hatch shut.

“Are you staying here tonight?”she asked.

“Hell yeah, sunshine.As long as you don’t mind my being up bright and early.I’ve got to be on base at the crack of dawn.But I’m yours until then.”

“I suppose I could tolerate it,” she teased.

“Oh yeah?”he asked, sauntering up beside her.“Tolerate me or my getting up early?Should I try to persuade you?”he asked, ducking down for a searing kiss.

“What’d you have in mind?”she asked, her eyes heating.

“First we’re going to order some food, and then maybe we’ll take one of those long, hot baths you seem to love.Then we’re going to bed.I’m going to kiss every square inch of you and then make love to you for hours.Probably again in the morning before I have to go to base.”

“I’m in,” she said, flashing him a grin.“But I get to sleep on the left side of the bed.”

Noah chuckled, grabbing their luggage and following behind her.“Who said anything about getting any sleep?”
