Maybe that’s a good thing… or a bad one.
“Weren’t you the one who was pushing me to get out more often just two days ago?”
“Things change. I’m concerned with you being so secretive about this guy and—”
We both pause when we both hear a voice inside.Nyck let him in?!
I definitely didn’t want that to happen. And I need to have a conversation with Nyck about opening the door!
Harmony smiles. “Whoa… he sounds sexy AF.”
I can’t disagree. The rumble of his voice is setting off all my warning lights that I’ll need new panties by the end of the night.
“Hey, there. I’m here to see Sonnet?” he says. “Your mom?”
“Yeah, that’s her. Come on in,” Nyck’s voice seems older every day. He’s had to mature faster than I think he would have if Parker had been here.
I shove my sister into the hallway. “Come on. Move!”
She leans in as we make it down the hallway. “Do you have a condom?”
I shout whisper into her ear. “I’m not having sex, Harmony! It’s just dinner.”
“I was asking for me!” she shouts back, pulling me to a stop.
For fuck’s sake.
“Move!” I shove her forward.
We walk out and Jasper’s sitting cross-legged on the living room floor, Legos spread everywhere and he’s creating something that looks like a Christmas tree.
Jasper brings his eyes up to me and I’m frozen in his bright smile.
“Move!” Harmony shoves me forward and I shuffle.
Harmony walks up and reaches out. Jasper stands and clasps his hand.
Her eyes ping-pong over him. “I’m Harmony, Sonnet’s sister. And that’s not a red suit and not a lot of facial hair.” She glances back over her shoulder. “Is this really the guy?”
I take time to raise my gaze to his and those piercing whiskey brown eyes from the camera are the same. “Yeah, that’s him.”
“Nice to meet you, Harmony. I wasn’t quite myself when I met Sonnet.” He winks at me, and the rumble of a chuckle seizes my chest.
There’s a rush inside of me, like a spark of something I haven’t felt since Parker.
“You hurt her, and I will pull every hair out of your nose, one by one.” Harmony’s declaration pulls me from staring at the fine man specimen Jasper is.
“Harmony!” I admonish her through gritted teeth.
Jaspers eyes are wide taking Harmony in as he steps around her. He leans in, “Understood, Harmony. Sonnet,” he breathes in deeply as he steps in close to me. His lips land on my cheek and my eyes fall closed to just take the moment in. “You’re beautiful.”
I’m not sure if I imagined it or if he really said it. But when I open my eyes and my sister is practically panting and drooling over him, I’m going to assume it was heard.
“Thank you. So are you. I mean, you’re pretty, no handsome. I mean… attractive. Shit. You know what I mean.”
The man has absorbed whatever brain cells I had and made them into goo. Not a good look for a doctor.
His hand slips to the curve of my lower back and the move settles me in an odd way. Parker was a hand holder, this is different, it’s a little possessive but I lean into the move. His warmth is too inviting.
