Jax enough time to go and come back. They would have to put off their sleuthing for another day. She looked at him and smiled.
“I can take my pictures tomorrow. I would love to have a picnic at the waterfall,” she said cheerfully.
“Good. By the way, would you develop some extra photos of our trespassing guests? I will need them for the investigation,” he explained.
“Of course,” she said.
Maybe she should just forget about her spying. Matt seemed to have things well in hand. She would tell Jax. Tess felt Matt hands lightly moving over her body. She pulled out of his arms.
“I don’t think we have time for playing,” she chuckled.
“There’s always time for our kind of recess,” he grinned lascivious.
He dropped his towel and moved purposely toward her. Tess squealed and ran. He caught her easily and they tumbled onto the bed where they made wild, passionate love.
Jaclyn trotted down the grand staircase just as the doorbell rang. She waited a moment thinking either Ana or Matt would come to answer the door. Neither of them made an appearance and the bell rang twice more. Jaclyn shrugged and moved to answer the door. She opened the door and was met by two gorgeous men. Happy surprise reflected in her lovely blue eyes.
“Hello,” Jaclyn said amiably.
“Hello yourself, gorgeous. I’m Anthony Greenwich. Call me Tony,” he said as he extended his hand.
“I’m Jaclyn Harrington. Call me Jax,” she laughed.
Tony was suddenly abruptly pushed aside and another handsome hunk took his place in the doorway.
“Hi, Jax. I’m Oliver Beckman. Everyone calls me Ollie,” he smiled and extended his hand.
Jaclyn chuckled and shook his hand.
“Hi Ollie,” she grinned.
“Is Matt around?” Tony asked.
“It would be extremely rude of him to invite us for a picnic and then not show up,” Ollie grimaced.
“Picnic? I don’t know anything about it but please come in,” Jaclyn invited. “I’m sure he’ll show up in a few minutes.”
The two men strolled into the salon as Jaclyn closed the door. She then followed them into the salon and sat on the sofa and crossed her legs. She wore shorts that showed off her slender legs to perfection. Both men eyed her appreciatively as they took their seat; one on the sofa and the other in an armchair.
“So tell me, how did Matt get so lucky as to land you as a houseguest?” Tony asked.
“That mangy reprobate has all the luck,” Ollie said.
“I’m no disgusting reprobate but I do have fantastic luck,” Matt said as he came into the room.
The men laughed as they rose to greet and embrace Matt.
“I see you’ve met these two rogues, Jax,” Matt said. “I’m beginning to question my decision to invite them to our picnic. It occurs to me that they may not be fit company for you.”
“Ha! If she has lived under the same roof with you for any length of time then she is undoubtedly craving sane, rational and fun companionship,” Ollie said.
“Which I can most certainly provide,” Tony offered.
Jaclyn laughed at their banter. It was obvious that the three men were great friends. She looked at Matt.
“Tell me about these picnic plans,” Jaclyn said.
“I planned an outing by the waterfall. I thought we could have a picnic, swim and just have a good time,” Matt said. “I thought you and Tess would enjoy it.”
“It sounds fabulous,” Jaclyn enthused.
“My sentiments exactly,” Tess smiled as she entered the room.
“Ah man! There are two beauties living with you? Unfair!” Tony exclaimed.
Matt laughed and made the introductions to Tess. Tess greeted them warmly and they all sat and conversed for a while. Soon Ana came in and told them that all was in readiness for their picnic. The men went into the kitchen to get the picnic supplies. Jaclyn made sure they were out of hearing before speaking.
“I take it our private investigating has been put on hold,” Jaclyn said in hushed tones.
“You take it right. Matt told me about
