Chapter Nineteen

Avery

I took Ev’s advice and soaked in the tub. It went a long way toward working out some of the stress I’d been feeling since the second I heard the banging on the door.

After climbing out and drying off, I rummage through Evander’s drawers and pull out a pair of black boxers and a white T-shirt. Another day, another T-shirt. But this one doesn’t piss me off like the others did, and it smells like E, which is a bonus.

I find a comb, which I use to brush my hair before braiding it, and an unopened toothbrush under the counter in the bathroom that I claim. I don’t think Ev would mind, and if he did, I’d replace it.

Once done, I wander around the main part of the house, which is light and welcoming now that the grumpy thunderclouds from before are gone. Light oak floors, warm cream walls, and huge windows with white shutters give the place a Mediterranean vibe. With the sun pouring in, I could shut my eyes and almost picture myself sitting in some Greek villa rather than coming back home to the scene of my heartbreak. Of course, these houses weren’t here last time I was. Ev had mentioned that Apex had added homes to the sprawling property, which meant most of the guys lived onsite—except Nash and Hendrix, who, as far as I knew, were still stationed abroad somewhere.

The kitchen is glossy white and minimalistic, but I don’t take much of it in when I spot the fancy coffee machine.

“Ah, my precious.” I search the cupboards until I find the mugs and coffee and make myself a cup.

As it brews, I walk over to the island, pulling out one of the stools to sit, when I spot a note.

Avery,

I’m over at the main house giving the guys a rundown of everything. I know they’ll have questions, but they can wait until you’re ready. Relax. Help yourself to anything you want. I’ve locked the doors so nobody can bother you. There is a spare key in the kitchen drawer, the third one down. I’ll try to be as quick as I can, then we can sort out that phone call for you.
