Nakamura Enterprises. And as for Ted, he is
sweet, adorable in a rough and quiet kind of way. I’m pretty sure
both, no, I know I want both of them. I need to figure out what I
feel for them.”
    They sat in the heat, sweating and
thinking. There was no way to know if she was in love, much less
with two men. Something that big couldn’t be forced, it would
happen when the heart was ready. However, it didn’t mean she and
her friend wouldn’t endlessly dwell on the issue.
    “We’re going to need some water to
get through today in the office.” Molly reached into one of her
bags, pulled a couple bottles of water, and handed one to
her.
    “You and Jon seem to be spending
quite a bit of time together, alone. Do you like him?” Sakura
gulped the water down and put the lid back on the bottle. There
were other things going on around her she needed to pay attention
to and, despite the moment of passion, she was ready to focus on
the job at hand. Not necessarily ready, but close
enough.
    “Yes,” Molly finally whispered. “He
is a gentleman who makes me think everything is possible. If he
crooked his finger and asked me to follow him, I would in a
second.”
    “Well now, isn’t that interesting.
We both got caught in the ropes of cowboys. They raise them well in
Montana. Have you two kissed yet?”
    “Every night we go for a walk after
dinner. He holds my hand as we watch the moon rise above the
mountain range, and the stars burst out across the clear blue-black
sky. It’s a beautiful moment, romantic even.”
    “Sounds lovely, what’s the
problem?”
    “When we get back to the guest
house, he pushes my hair gently off my face and kisses my forehead,
then leaves. He never says anything during those walks or hints he
wants more from me, but I want him and would give him everything if
he only asked.”
    “It’s in the water.”
    “What?” The unexpected response
pulled the other woman out of her lust filled stupor with a frown
of confusion.
    “I get the sweet goodnight kiss as
well,” Sakura confided.
    “Wait, you mean nothing happened
after we left the first night?”
    “Nope, not much, and I’m dying for
them to do something. One or both, I’m good to go. They’ve made me
want them, and instead of taking what I’m offering they’re holding
me in sensual limbo. I need them and they know it, but they’re
giving nothing in return. Why don’t they take what we’re offering?
It must be something in the water.”
    Jumping off the table, she turned
to Molly and decided they’d had enough dwelling on hard
questions.
    “Enough wallowing in what we want
and don’t have. You get the clips? I’ll finish securing the wires,
then we can get started on running the last test runs. The system
is running smoothly, without any errors. It’s been easy thus far,
but next is ramping up the tagging. It’s going to get seriously
crazy. I don’t know about you, but I’m happy with how it’s going
thus far.” Laughing, Sakura started rummaging through the bags
until she found what she needed.
    “Who knew building the system from
the ground up in a foreign country would go smoothly?” Molly told
her as they got back to work. “I keep expecting a major issue to
rear its ugly head, but nothing.”
    “We prepared for everything or
almost anything. We’re that kind of good,” Sakura said as she
crawled under the table and held her hand out for clips.
    “Fine. If we’re smart, how do we go
about getting these guys to see us as the sex goddesses we
are?”
    “We’ll start by finishing here then
taking baths and scrubbing the sweat off us. I suggest tonight we
dress with seduction in mind. We won’t take the easy route, either.
No mini-skirts or tight blouses unbuttoned and flashing our
fabulous cleavage.” She held her hand out for more clips. “We go
classically elegant, show them what they’re missing out on. Let’s
see how far we can get using our wiles.”
    “Good idea. For a couple weeks
we’ve had
