chain located next to her hotel.
Tuesday she’d visited Well’s Sandwich Shop and picked up their sandwich orders before she met the men at their office again. The owner, Luke, hadn’t been lying about his sandwiches, and she’d enjoyed the oversized hoagie. In the evening, the three of them had gone to see a popular superhero movie. She sat between Gavin and Hawk, and even though their thighs touched the whole time, neither one of them made a move beyond touching her hand by accident when reaching for the popcorn at the same time.
On her third full day in town, the girls had introduced her to another one of their friends, and lunch had turned into an impromptu pool party. The new friend, Olive, had serious cooking skills, and owned her own café in the center of town. Her snacks and appetizers were to die for, and Ava hadn’t been sure she’d be able to eat dinner with the guys until they took her to their favorite pizza parlor.
She, Gavin and Hawk ended the night by walking down the main strip, and then they’d piled into Gavin’s truck for a grand tour of the city.
She’d been seated between both men in the cab of the truck, but like the previous nights, they’d ended the evening by dropping her off at her car, following her back to the hotel, and presumably going home alone.
Four nights without a single touch didn’t need to be explained.
This morning, in an effort to brush off the subtle rejections, she’d decided to take advantage of some of the spa treatments the hotel offered. She’d treated herself to a massage, a manicure and a pedicure. Later, she’d filled the huge bathtub with bubbles and soaked until the water turned tepid, and then she’d shaved, trimmed and removed all the unwanted or excess hair on her body. Spending an entire day on grooming wasn’t something she normally did, but the pampering had made her feel fantastic.
Gavin and Hawk had invited her to their home for dinner, and although she knew nothing would happen, she wanted to look her best.
She wore an Emerald green top to match the guys' eyes and a pair of dark blue denim capris. Her toes had been done to match her shirt, and a pair of black sandals completed the ensemble. Underneath her clothes she wore a black lacy bra and panty set that she’d thrown in her suitcase at the last minute. Even if no one else would see it, the feel of the lace against her skin made her feel sexy, beautiful and confident. She made a mental note to buy more sexy underwear and wear them more often.
Spending time with the guys, and with her new friends, made her realize she had other dreams besides the bookstore, and she’d been thinking about her new idea all day. Instead of a bookstore, she planned on opening a beverage bar with an honor library.
She’d seen an ideal building while walking the main strip with the guys, but she couldn’t own a business in Bear Canyon without being a resident, so she’d have to find another location. She still didn’t want to be anywhere near the old bookstore, but she also didn’t want to move too far away from her new friends.
Maybe she needed to forget about the prime spot in the city and focus on one of the less popular streets. She could also look near art galleries, or consider something near a rest-stop for wary travelers. The ideas were endless.
“Hey,” Gavin said, entering the room. “Sorry to keep you waiting. That appointment took longer than I thought it would.”
He sat down at his desk, and keyed in the password for his laptop.
“I have to type in a few notes and order a prescription, and then I’m ready,” he said, opening a file. “Hawk’s not done yet?”
“I don’t think so,” she said, “he hasn’t opened his door. Do you want me to wait in the breakroom?”
The first time she’d visited their office, they’d given her a tour and introduced her to their small staff. The additional employees were all women, and they included one receptionist and two nurses. A pang
