Chapter Twelve

Jason propped his feet on the coffee table, more to annoy Jeff than anything else. Old habits were hard to break. Ever since they were kids, he knew how to push his brother’s buttons, and he did it often. If Jeff ever bothered to look, he’d find Jason’s bedroom every bit as neat as his, maybe neater, but that was Jason’s little secret. A guy had to have something that was his own.

A plate in the sink didn’t bother Jason, but it made Jeff crazy. How was a brother supposed to ignore opportunities like that? Jason couldn’t, anymore than he could stop breathing.

It didn’t help that every day he felt Megan slipping away from him a little more. Or maybe he was slipping away from her; he couldn’t tell. All he knew was his alone time with her had dwindled to almost nonexistent in the last few months.

This afternoon, he seized the opportunity to have Megan all to himself for a while, and she hadn’t exactly pushed him away. When Jeff walked in though, he really hoped Megan would say she wanted to be alone with him. Instead, she allowed Jeff to join them. He did a good job of hiding his feelings, or at least, he thought he did.

Megan had been curled up on the sofa under a throw when he and Jeff came in. She looked so soft and warm, he wanted to take her in his arms and hold her, but the minute Jeff sat on her other side, she practically crawled into his lap. That’s where she was now, still looking like a kitten cuddled up next to the stove. They looked so damned cozy. Jason swallowed hard, and tried to concentrate on the movie. It was an old one, but a favorite which they’d watched many times. Only tonight, he stared at the screen with sightless eyes.

What the hell was happening? He’d never felt so much on the outside, so alone. Things were changing. He’d known it for some time, but it had never hit him with such force before. Megan shifted in Jeff’s embrace. Jason knew without looking that they were getting more intimate. She parted her legs and squirmed her delectable bottom around to allow Jeff better access. Jason could smell her unique scent, stirred by their slight movements. Even after their earlier encounter, he should be hard as a post watching them get it on, but he remained flaccid. If he turned to them, he’d be invited to play too, but he couldn’t bring himself to do it.

A hole opened in his chest. He’d never turned down an invitation to touch her, and she’d never turned him away. Yet, somehow, tonight, he felt like he was on the outside, looking in, and even being on the periphery felt wrong. Hell, he felt like a Peeping Tom.

Shit. He’d watched Megan and Jeff together plenty of times and never felt like a pervert before. So why now? What the hell was wrong with him?

“Jase,” Megan ran her dainty foot over his bare forearm.
