“Okay, let’s get started. Naomi called aCode Rachel,so let’s see how we can help her. Naomi, the floor is yours,” Remi announced.
Naomi stood up because there were so many women sitting in folding chairs in what had started as a huge circle but had migrated to a kidney-shaped grouping as more women came in.
“Whew, this is so hard, but I need your help. Stone is it for me, and I want more than kisses,” Naomi blurted out.
“Whoa, you mean Stone hasn’t done the deed with you yet?” Beth gasped.
Naomi shook her head.
“At first, I figured it was the tattoo on the back of my thighs because of him not wanting to aggravate it, but now I am so close to exploding, it’s affecting my every thought,” Naomi confessed, her cheeks burning.
“Oh, I bet you need new batteries for your vibrator with all the action it’s getting. I can get you some from the garage,” Jesse offered with a proud grin.
Naomi kept quiet while everyone offered suggestions on relieving the tension without Stone. Then one of the women brought up what kind of vibrator she thought was best, and Naomi couldn’t take it. She needed help with her problem with Stone. She didn’t want a vibrator; she wanted him.
“I don’t have a vibrator. I never have. I want Stone,” Naomi declared, her voice rising as she talked.
Silence greeted her.
“Girl, you are wound tighter than a spring, and if you want Stone, then let’s help you get him. Did you have an idea when, or are we starting from scratch?” Regina asked.
“I want him for my fortieth birthday, July 1st,” Naomi revealed.
“Hey, it’s my fortieth too. Do I get a biker to have sex with as my present too?” Chloe teased.
Laughter echoed around the room. Frankly, Naomi was positive that with the tension coming off of Chloe and Dex when they were working the kids’ petting zoo, he’d be happy to supply a little special attention for her.
“Maybe a birthday party for all of you at the clubhouse, and you could take him to—well, Remi liked the wall of the barn outside the clubhouse. Finn’s room is what used to be Baron’s old room, so it has some luck because that’s where Regina and he first did the horizontal mamba,” Beth suggested.
“How do you know all this?” Meg wondered.
“I listen,” Beth shrugged.
“Scoop and Sarah are partial to doing it in the garage on a bike,” Winnie shared.
“Well, Winnie and Bear met at a camper when they were hiding their relationship. It’s the one that is now parked near Sarah’s house,” Jesse pointed out.
“Okay. I think we know that there are a lot of places for her and Stone to get it on, including his house, but what do you need us to do so it can happen?” Willa injected, trying to get everyone back on task.
“Ahh, I have such fond memories of the office in here too,” Beth recalled wistfully.
“Yes, I remember we needed to disinfect it last July,” Willa said drily.
Laughter echoed around the room.
“Let’s do a joint birthday party on July 1st. We’ll plan on the girls staying with Locks, Benji, and me. Then you can… Well, I don’t know at this point whether you need to jump him or if he’ll take the lead. Are you going to tell him you’re ready?” Hope asked.
“Men are stupid sometimes and stuck in their heads. How about—Stone, I need your big throbbing member inside my slick love channel or I’m going to explode from unreleased sexual tension?” Tori suggested.
AJ tried to hold back her sass but failed the second she opened her mouth. “Don’t ever quit your day job, because a writer you are not.”
“Tell him what you feel,” Emerson offered gentle guidance.
“Like what?” Naomi frowned, not understanding exactly what she meant.
“How do you feel when you’re with my brother?” Emerson pressed softly.
“Safe. Able to be myself. Seen and happy,” Naomi whispered. The hangar got quiet as everyone strained to hear her voice.
