“Thank you, Lacy,” I said as I sat down. When she closed the door, I grinned like the Cheshire cat.
“I think I may actually miss this job.”
Six months later
“OPEN YOUR EYES.”
The sound of Tucker’s voice against my ear made my body shiver.
“I’m nervous!” I squealed as he chuckled.
“Just open them.”
A rush of air left my lungs as I stood and looked at our finished house.
“Oh my. Oh wow. Holy crap.”
Turning, I jumped into Tucker’s arms as Nash let out a relieved-sounding laugh.
“You like it?” he asked as Tucker spun me around and then put me on the ground.
“Like it? Nash, it’s beautiful. I can’t believe y’all got it built in four months.”
Tucker wrapped his arm around my waist. “Perks of having him for a best friend.”
I stood and stared at the two-story house in front of me. It was perfect. It was simple yet filled with all the fun things I wanted. Some I didn’t need but still wanted.
“It’s fucking huge!” Tucker croaked out.
My face heated. It was a big house. Nine-thousand-square-feet huge.
“I needed an office,” I stated.
“Okay, what about the other five bedrooms?” Tucker asked as we walked toward the house. We hadn’t been out in a month and totally left the finishing touches to Nash. He didn’t disappoint.
“One is ours, one is a guest room, and the other three are for little Tuckers.”
My husband’s eyes lit up.
I ran my fingers over the wood pillars on the front porch. “I love that you used the same wood and finish that’s in Sedotto.”
“Yeah, I do too,” Nash said.
We walked into the house and did a quick tour of it before the three of us ended up on the giant covered patio outside. A bottle of champagne sat in ice, and I turned to Nash.
“You do this?”
He nodded. “We do with all our finished homes.”
After popping open the bottle, Nash poured us each a glass.
“To new beginnings,” Nash said with a grin.
“New beginnings,” Tucker and I echoed.
Lifting the glass to my lips, I paused and focused my eyes on the sign hanging up over the outside bar.
The rules of seduction.
