Chapter Eleven

Luxury surrounded Ava, from the thousand thread count sheets that graced the guest bed to the carpet so plush she felt like she was walking on clouds. The only thing keeping her in the real world was the music that pulsed in the air.

The need to escape Jace and the choices she was not ready to make sent her to her room, but the opulence was so far removed from who she was she needed fresh air. A glance out the floor to ceiling windows showed the perfect distraction. Sneaking out, in the hopes of going outside to take a walk down to the lake that butted up to Jace’s property, Ava checked both directions before leaving her suite and made it almost to the steps when the music stopped.

Ava was surprised to meet a sweaty Jace at the bottom of the steps. He looked delicious; she felt lightheaded. Being eye level with golden-tan muscles chiseled from hard work made her panties wet. Watching droplets of sweat slice down his abdomen and into the band of his work-out shorts brought her attention to the happy trail of hair that led to her own ecstasy. Was there a sudden loss of oxygen in the room? Not knowing if it was from the weight of her secret or her body’s reaction to him, she stammered to come up with an excuse for her rude behavior earlier.

“I was just going to go out and get my bags.”

“I put them in the living room,” Jace answered with a nod toward her right.

The immaculate room he motioned toward had her shabby suitcases in the expertly designed space. The hardwood floors that stretched throughout the living area gleamed from polishing. “Thanks. Uh, your house is really beautiful.”

“It works.” Jace looked everywhere but directly at her. “I took out a couple of steaks for dinner. Would you like me to put them on the grill?”

Why did she feel like he was just as uneasy as she was? He didn’t have any secrets that would ruin her career. “You don’t have to go to any trouble. I can just eat a sandwich.”

“No problem, I have to eat too. I’m going to run up and take a shower.” Just like that, he was bounding up the intricately handcrafted staircase and into the room directly across from hers.

Ava walked out of the house and into the beautiful spring weather. As she looked at the lake, the scattered clouds that hung in the early evening sky turned amber and purple with the lowering sun. Concerns about every decision she made in the past three years began to dissipate. The peace that settled over her was cathartic when she remembered she now had someone she could talk to about her secret. Cell phone in hand she dialed Roxi in the hopes her friend would still want to talk to her.

Ava left a message for Roxi to call her and turned toward the house she would be staying in for the next two weeks.
