“If you’re ready…” he gives the slightest pressure to get me moving.
I nod, grabbing my coat from the back of the couch.
Harmony huffs at her phone. “I swear these things a just junk.” She pokes at the screen like a two-year-old playing a game.
“Well, if you didn’t do that,” I say with a shake of my head.
Jasper smiles. “They definitely have the ability to cause havoc, right?”
“They just cost so much to replace that it’s use it until it just won’t start again.”
With his assistance, I slip my coat on.
Nyck runs over and slips his arms around me. “Have fun! Thanks for helping me with my Legos, Mr. Jasper.”
“Anytime, Nyck.”
Nyck’s head tips and I can see the gears turning in my son’s head. Being born with a hearing deficit, utilizing hearing aids from age three years on.
Nyck’s hearing is astute as any nine-year-old’s now and his deduction skills even sharper.
Outside Jasper opens his car door. I noticed he had a small limp on the way down the sidewalk.
“Thanks,” I say, slipping into the plus Italian leather of the fanciest car I’ve ever been in. It’s spotless inside—almost too clean for a man’s car in my opinion. But the smell.
My ovaries jumpstart like they’ve been hit by lightning.
The smell is all Jasper. Woodsy and clean.
What am I doing? Dating Santa… that’s what I’m doing.
CHAPTER4
JASPER
This woman isn’t shy,but she is cautious. Knowing that she recently, years don’t count when it comes to death, lost her husband makes me as cautious. Heck, I used a private detective to find out who she is.
Doctor in the ER, specializing in trauma.
No debt, not even house payment or student loans.
Great credit score and sizable bank accounts to her name.
Hubby, Parker, passed unexpectedly of an aneurysm.
Sister lives with her to help with her son.
And one son— Nyckolas Parker Michaels. Nyck, born with some physical challenges, but from my perspective he overcomes all of them like a champ. If anything, his hearing is superhero level.
Sonnet seems perfect on paper, but I’ve learned over and over that black and white is grayer than expected.
I pull the car out of the driveway and put the manual transmission into drive. The all-wheel drive manual isn’t totally perfect for winter weather, but something in me wanted her to be safe, and this car has the most real metal of my collection.
“I… I don’t think I can do this, Jasper.” Her voice is timid, not what I’d expect from the confident doctor.
“Can’t do what?”
I mean, I’ve been thinking of some things the beautiful doctor and I could do, but I’m going to keep most of the ones that happen between sheets to myself. I’m not that crass guy. But I swear I could be with this hot woman. She revs my engine, fast and furious.
