eyes...my oh my. They were golden
brown, like coffee with lots of cream. I could only imagine what
they looked like right when he was climaxing.
    Cheezits Ava, get your head out of the bedroom!
    “Wouldn’t you agree Ava?” Justin was asking me.
    I shook my head and swallowed. “I’m sorry, what did
you say?”
    “We were talking about the weather here in the
summer and I was saying how much more pleasant it is than in
Charleston?”
    “Oh, yes it is.” Was my voice breathy sounding, or
was it my imagination?
    Just Miles was wearing jeans that rode low on his
hips. They were tight and he had a superior set of buns. What would
I pay to see those babies?
    “Ava? What do you think?”
    “Buns!” I blurted out.
    “Excuse me?” Caroline asked.
    Holy Toledo, did I just say buns out loud? What the
hell Ava!!!
    “Fun! Anything sounds fun!”
    “Ava, you look a little flushed. Are you sure you’re
feeling okay?”
    “Hot. I mean no, I’m fine.” I looked across the room
and my face totally flamed. Everyone was staring at me. I had
unbuttoned my blouse and was fanning myself. I’d noticed that Just
Miles had a gloriously hot tattoo of a sideways cross on his arm. I
think I needed to go home.
    “So Avery, where are you staying?” Caroline
asked.
    “Oh, I’m at the Four Sexy. Seasons! I mean the Four
Seasons.”
    Oh good lord, I need to pull my
act together here.
    “I need to look for a place to live, but I was going
to rent an apartment for a month until I can land something.”
    “Don’t be ridiculous. You must stay with us. My God,
we have all sorts of room here. It would be crazy for you to rent
someplace. As a matter of fact, you should move in right away.
Isn’t that right Justin?”
    “Absolutely. Do you need a car to drive?” Justin
asked.
    “Yes, but I’m going to rent one. The company is
going to pay for it until I move.”
    “Good or you can borrow one of ours.”
    I was already going to be enough of a burden, so I
declined their generous offer.
    Justin looked at me and made a suggestion. “Look,
why don’t you let me take you back to the hotel and you can get
your things and check out. Then we can get you settled in
here.”
    “Are you all sure about this? I do not want to
impose.”
    Justin bit his lip for a minute and then said,
“Caroline, take her on a tour so she can see we have plenty of
room.”
    Then he turned to me and said, “Ava, this house is
bigger than Mom and Dad’s.”
    Caroline took me from room to room and Justin was
right. I could live here for months and they’d never know it. Their
master bedroom suite was in a whole separate wing of the house, so
I wouldn’t be intruding upon their privacy. I felt a ton better
about staying here.
    “This house is really something Caroline!”
    “Thanks. It was all Justin’s idea. He fell in love
with it and had to convince me, but I’ve fallen in love with it
too. At first I was really intimidated by it but now I’m good. The
thing is, all of this part where the guest side is, we usually
don’t use. We only use the other parts. Maybe someday if we have
kids or something. Who knows?”
    “Well, I love it.”
    We made our way back to where the guys were and
Caroline showed me where everything was. “If you can’t find
something just ask or dig around,” she said.
    Before she could get any further, I pulled her to me
and hugged her. “Thank you. Thank you for making me feel so welcome
into your home. And thank you for loving my brother.”
    “Oh Avery, I’m so glad you’re here,” she said as she
hugged me back.
    Justin and I were getting ready to leave when he got
a phone call. He checked the caller ID and said, “I have to take
this. Hang on.” After several minutes, he hung up and said, “I have
to go in. The surgeon on call has a major case of food poisoning.
They had to admit him. I’m next on rotation. Sorry guys.”
    “Me too honey. Hope they don’t kill you tonight.”
Caroline kissed him.
