Chapter Fourteen

“An actual phone call. To what do I owe the honor?” Jonathan asked, gripping the phone so tightly he actually worried he might break it.

“I’ve been busy,” Thomas said, defensively.

Was he serious? Jonathan didn’t know the measurement of his arms from one hand to the other, but if Thomas had been anywhere within his wingspan, he would’ve wrung his brother’s fucking neck.

He tiptoed over to the railing and heard the water running in the hallway bathroom. Good, Leighton was still in the shower. Abandoning the ingredients for the breakfast he’d planned to make her before heading to the restaurant, he stepped out onto the back porch, closing the door behind him. He leaned against the wrought-iron railing and stared at the alleyway that divided the back of his house from the back of the neighboring Victorians a block over.

This had been going on long enough.

“So have I, and yet I’ve found the time to update you on the progress of your fiancée who has amnesia.”

“I’ve responded.”

Jonathan slid one arm across his chest, tucking that hand against his side beneath his elbow. “I’d hardly call ‘Got it’ a viable response.”

Silence.

Was he getting through to Thomas? Good. His brother needed to book the next flight to DC. Jonathan couldn’t continue to do this. It wasn’t even about the time away from Sedici. It was the time he spent with Leighton. She was sexy, smart, funny and quite unlike any woman he’d ever known. He’d lost all objectivity and his final desperate hope was that Thomas’s physical presence would be enough to extinguish his growing feelings. Other than a rejection from Leighton, it was the only thing that could.

“It’s not too late.” Jonathan pitched his voice low, melodic and persuasive. “We don’t have to make this worse. Come home.”

Please.

“Not yet. Things are going well for me. That partnership will be mine. I just need to hang in here a little while longer.”

That open window to freedom slammed shut. On Jonathan’s neck.

“This is bullshit! When you left you said you’d come back in a week. It’s been over that. Are you coming home this weekend?”

“No.”

Fury at Thomas for not returning home flooded through Jonathan almost felling him. That selfishness meant Jonathan would have to continue this charade. It wasn’t fair to him, but it was doubly unfair to Leighton.

Though his anger was fierce, it was no match for the guilt shredding his insides and daring him to complain. His intense initial attraction had progressed into genuine feelings for the woman who was going to marry his brother. The doctor said there was no reason to believe her memories wouldn’t return. Was he willing to betray Thomas and risk her going back to him once that happened?

“You’ve placed me in an impossible position,” he said.

His brother wasn’t the only one to blame for this situation. Jonathan could’ve said no. He should’ve said no. But he’d let the belief of his culpability for her accident lead him to make a reckless decision.

What about now? What’s
