Averie gave him a sultry grin as she floated in the center of his pool, strategically arranged on a float for maximum sex appeal. She wore a tiny black bikini and an aura of come-and-get-me he couldn’t miss. Jake swallowed, wondering why his evening plans had just gotten hijacked—and how to get out of this unfortunate dilemma. He really was hoping Sugar would call. It was time the two of them talked. He was missing a big chunk of her life, and he didn’t want to keep getting updates from Lassiter. He understood completely what Lassiter meant when he said Maggie C was a lot of woman. Sugar had not fallen far from the family tree. “What are you doing, Averie?” He felt pretty sour at the moment. He didn’t want to be cruel, but he certainly felt out of sorts. “Waiting on you. Dinner’s in the fridge.” Averie splashed some water over her legs and smiled. A beer sat in the holder in the float, and if his life hadn’t taken a drastic turn with the advent of Sugar in his life, Jake might have dived in.
