Chapter Five

Ava

Jason's hungry gaze raked over me.

His hands twitched at his sides, and I knew he was fighting the urge to pull me into his arms. "Hey beautiful," he said, his voice strained. "I missed you."

I arched a brow. "Missed me?"

He nodded slowly. "Yeah, Ava"—he paused—"I did."

Not knowing what to say, I looked around the room. "I know I heard three of you out here. Where is…" My voice trailed off when I realized I didn't know the third brothers' name.

Devon scowled again. "Eric. His name is Eric, and he went to settle your bill at the front desk."

Hold up. "Excuse me? Settle my bill? Why?"

Jason crossed his arms over his chest. "Because you're not staying here a minute longer."

"Where am I going?" I fidgeted in place and picked at the hem of my dress.

"Home," Devon barked, crossing his arms over his chest and mirroring Jason's stance. "With us."

I'd be damned. "Uh." I forced a smile. "No offense, but I don't think that's a great idea."

Before either of them could reply, Eric pushed the door open and stepped inside. "Bill is paid. I checked her out and returned the keys."

His eyes found mine. "Hey, baby." The smile that spread across his face was genuine; it instantly put me at ease. "Fancy seeing you here."

I couldn't help but smile in return. "Hey, Eric." His eyes sparkled when I said his name.

"Don't think I'll ever get tired of hearing you say my name."

Devon—I need to start calling him Mr. Grizzly Bear or something—growled and snapped his fingers. "Alright," he hissed, "let's get this show on the road. "He looked at me. "Darlin' go in the bathroom and pack up all your stuff. We'll handle everything out here." He looked around the room and furrowed his brows. "Won't take us long to have the trucks loaded and ready to go."

Now, wait a minute. "Again, I don't think that's a good idea."

Jason smirked. "Yeah?" He asked. "And why not?"

Was he serious? He couldn't be serious. "Uh, where do I start? First, I don't know any of you; therefore, I'm not going to pack up what little I own and move out of my home."

No matter how crappy it is, I mentally added.

My hands went to my hips. "I'm beginning to think y'all are crazy or something. Is that it? Are all three of you mental?" At that moment, my pettiness decided to rear its ugly head. "Besides, I wasn't good enough to work for you so why in the heck would I be good enough to live with you?" Much as I hated it, I couldn't hide the hurt welling up in my throat. Every ounce of it leaked into my voice.

I will not cry.

I will not cry.

Jason moved before I had a chance to blink. Like Devon had done earlier, he closed the space between us, wrapped his arms around my waist, and picked me up. A couple of seconds later, we were in the bathroom and once again, my back was pressed against the wall.
