“Uh, okay,” she giggled, closing her eyes, and turning that lovely shade of pink.

Ava watched Tabon’s gorgeous ass as he took her bag upstairs. Part of her wanted to tell him to take it next door instead.
“Hello,” Gunner called out, opening the front door and sticking his head in.
“Are you waiting for me to invite you into your own house?” she laughed.
“Hope we weren’t interrupting anything,” he said, joining her in the living room with Aine, Pen, and Tara following behind him.
“You were.”
“Oh, damn,” said Pen, obviously a little tipsy from wine tasting. “Maybe we should leave.”
“They can leave,” said Gunner. “There’s a whole other side to this place; they can have all the privacy they want.” He turned around and looked at Pen. “And so can we.”
Ava wondered if the two were just playing, or if Pen had let Gunner know she was interested in him.
“Where’s Raze?” Gunner asked.
“Right here, playing bellman,” Tabon answered.
“I’m sorry, I could’ve—”
He smiled. “Ava, do you really think I would’ve let you carry your own bag upstairs?”
She shook her head. “Thank you.”
“However, I’m off the clock now. Gunner, your shift has started. I’ve got to take my stuff next door, and then Ava and I were going to run out to the market.”
“We can do that,” offered Pen. “As long as Ava drives.”
“That’s a good idea,” said Gunner.
Ava noticed a look pass between the two men. “Yes,” she said. “Let’s go now.”
Her three friends followed her toward the front door.
“Wait,” said Tabon. “You’ll need these.” He handed her the key fob for her rental car
.
“Is there anything you want us to get for you?” she asked.
“I don’t need a thing except for you to hurry back,” he whispered.

Razor didn’t feel comfortable letting Ava leave without him, but it was obvious Gunner needed to talk to him. Cambria was a small town, and it was late—fuck, what was he thinking?
“This is a mistake,” he muttered to Gunner, and went out the front door. “We can talk when I get back.”
Gunner nodded, obviously realizing the same thing Razor had.
“Hold up,” he said, jogging over to the car. “I remembered I needed to pick something up.”
Ava raised an eyebrow as he approached the driver’s door. “Missing me already?”
