Chapter 8

Janna stuffed her wet bikini into her bag and zipped it. Grateful that Austin had an outdoor shower and changing room near the cabana, she had taken full advantage of them after swimming a few more laps. Sitting on the deck, she placed her bare feet up on the railing and lounged, enjoying the beautiful evening. Every so often she would try to listen to see if she could hear Austin and Zoe, but Janna heard nothing. At least there wasn’t any screaming and glass crashing against the walls. She didn’t know who this woman was to Austin, but considering she had a key to his house and he had a photo of her on his mantel, it was safe to say she meant something to him.

“And the fact that he’s left me out here for almost twenty minutes speaks volumes,” she mumbled in the stillness of the night.

She lowered her feet and slipped back into her sandals. She moseyed over to the guesthouse, which was a few yards from the cabana, hoping the door was unlocked. During dinner, Austin had mentioned that he did his woodworking there. If she knew where the heck she was beyond the suburb of Johns Creek, she’d call a cab.

Trying the handle, Janna smiled when it turned and she pushed the door open. Feeling against the wall, she searched for a light switch. She should feel guilty about invading his private space, but she didn’t. As far as she was concerned, when he left her out there alone, he gave her free rein to check everything out.

After she found the switch, the room was immediately bathed in light. She stood frozen in place. This was some guesthouse. From where she stood, it looked larger than her first apartment.

She turned back and closed the door before roaming around the space. The open floor plan revealed a cute little kitchen with a long eat-at counter that overlooked the living room. If it belonged to anyone else, she would have considered the space a man cave, with the large-screen television mounted on the wall and a host of electronics in a nearby corner. The huge leather furniture took up most of the space.

Janna glanced back at the door before heading down a hallway. She passed a full bathroom but stopped at the first open door. Flipping on the light revealed Austin’s workshop. As she moved farther into the room, it seemed as if he had knocked down several walls to create a massive area. Woodworking equipment, lumber and a few finished pieces filled the bulk of the space.

“I see you found my workshop.”

Janna whirled around, her heart racing. Austin was leaning against the doorjamb.

“You scared me.” Her hand rested against her chest.

“Sorry about that.”

“I hope you don’t mind—” she pointed her thumb behind her “—but I decided to show myself around, since you were occupied.”

“I don’t mind,” he said quietly, his gaze steady on her.

Janna turned away from him and continued her perusal of the space.
