“I appreciate it.” Jeff disconnected and faced Zane. “Did you notice the type of vehicle that Daryl Dragman drove? I vaguely remember a truck in the driveway when we arrived at Mr. Hensley’s home but not the model or color.”
Zane dragged a hand down his jaw. “Sorry. It wasn’t special enough for me to have noticed. It was a dark color, but I couldn’t tell you if it was blue or not.”
Jeff made a dismissive hand motion. “Forget it. My head is not in the right space right now. Let’s finish up here and then see if Blair wants to do lunch.”
“I don’t think she likes to leave the office in case there is a walk-in,” Zane said.
“Clearly, I need to spend more time with her. I didn’t know that. Thanks.”

“You’re looking happy this morning,” Avery said.
Heat raced up Blair’s cheeks. “That’s because I am.”
Avery pulled up a chair in front of Blair’s desk. “Spill.”
Normally, Blair was a private person, but she couldn’t keep this monumental news to herself. “Zane and I got together last night.” She sighed. “Words can’t describe it.”
Avery grinned and clapped. “Try. We’ve been working so hard lately that I’ve not taken the time to look around for someone special, if you know what I mean.”
Blair had pushed Avery hard. “I wasn’t thinking. I was so focused on starting this company that—”
Avery held up a hand. “Hey, I wasn’t complaining. You’ve built a great company. Who knows where you’ll go next after this Development is sold out.”
Blair sagged in her chair. “Believe it or not, I hadn’t thought past being here. It’s a nice place to work.”
“Other than someone trying to run you off the road, that is.”
“There is that, though I have no idea if there is a connection to Woodland Estates or not,” Blair said.
“Okay, enough of the bad memories. Tell me how it happened. Did you ask Zane or did he come on to you? And where was Jeff in all of this?”
Blair explained that after the men basically fixed her dinner, she went to bed. “I was going to soak in the tub, but I passed out on the bed before I even undressed. Next thing I knew, Zane was taking off my shoes.”
“Was he just trying to get you comfortable for bed or was he seducing you?”
Blair smiled. “Let’s say I highly doubt that making sure I was comfortable was the only thing on his mind. He took off my shoes, gave me the most amazing foot rub, and then one thing led to another.”
Avery sighed. “That’s so romantic. If I saw either of those muscle men naked, I’m not sure I’d be able to talk or move.”
She laughed. “I will admit, I was speechless, but then Zane turned off the lights.”
“That’s a shame. Did he say anything about Jeff joining you?”
“Yes, but not right away.”
Avery leaned forward. “What do you mean not right away?”
Clearly, Avery wasn’t going to let this go, and they both had work to do. “He asked if I liked Jeff after we made love.”
“What did you tell him?”
“I said yes.”
Avery clapped. “I guess tonight will be epic."
“I would like a night of rest.”
