“Gia and I almost had sex not that long ago, Mas.” Jayson shook his head. “Could have set us back years. Plus, the guy’s famous. I had to step up.”
“Famous?”
“Denver Pippen,” Jayson said through his teeth. Apparently, Gia had met him for cocktails and things went well. Not that Jayson had been lurking around the office, but okay, he’d been sort of lurking. And he’d heard Gia excitedly telling Taylor that her date was going to be none other than skateboarding legend, Denver “Pip” Pippen.
“He’s hot,” Mason said. “That sports drink commercial where he leaps those cars...”
“Not helping.” Jayson stood, frustrated. “What could Gia possibly have in common with a guy who’s broken nearly every bone in his body? She’s all brains and he pounds his into the pavement.”
“And you thought Natasha would make her as jealous as you are.” Mason smirked.
“I’m not jealous of that joker-smile idiot.” He frowned, considering. “But if I see him kiss Gia, I’m going to give him a new scar.”
Mason laughed. “It’s past time you both got out there, Coop. You’ve been out of the game for a while.”
“Thanks for the reminder.” He pushed a hand through his hair. “It’s not easy to date when your ex-wife is in your social circles.”
Mason gave his brother the side-eye. “You two stay in each other’s circles. You still act married. Divorced people move on. You two moved sideways.”
Jayson shook his head, but he wasn’t committed to it. Mason had a point. It wasn’t easy to move on when the wound was fresh.
“I’m moving on now,” Jay said, simply because he needed to say it out loud.
“Good. I’ve been priming Natasha today about your arrival. Told her you were hot and single. Then I mentioned that you were going to the Knox family vineyard over the weekend and you should have seen her face.” Mason reached for his camera. “Actually you can see her face. I snapped a few shots of her reaction.”
“You did tell her I needed her to be a plus-one to a wedding, didn’t you?”
“And do all the legwork for you? Absolutely not. Natasha!” Mason called over his shoulder.
Her trailer door opened a crack. “More photos?”
“No photos. Cooper has something to ask you.” Mas slapped Jay’s shoulder as Natasha came out of the trailer and wiggled her way across the sand. “No time like the present.”
Mason vanished inside and shut the door behind him.
Natasha, still in her see-through robe, peered up at Jayson expectantly. “What’s up, Coop?”
Palming the back of his neck, Jayson smiled down at the supermodel. Here went nothing. “Are you busy on Saturday?”
