Chapter 13

Jason woke disoriented. He knew he wasn’t in his bedroom because there were no skylights. That didn’t shock him as much as the soft warm body pressed against his side. Rising on an elbow, he stared at Greer. She was as lovely in sleep as in waking. His gaze moved slowly over her slightly parted lips, mussed hair clinging to her cheek and the rise and fall of firm breasts under a modest white cotton nightgown. He touched her hair, rubbing strands between his fingers. Everything about her was fresh, natural. Watching her face in repose was short-lived when she shifted onto her right side.

Sliding back to the pillows cradling his shoulders and turning on his right, Jason rested an arm over Greer’s waist. He had to touch her, savor the warmth of her body and adore her openly.

Greer had accused him of wanting her for her voice, but he’d want her even if she sounded like a croaking frog. Jason admired not only her talent but also her strength, femininity and loyalty to her uncle. There was also her humility. She’d rejected the recording contract certain to bring her untold wealth and fame, and he’d engaged in an exercise of mental calisthenics as he had tried to come up with a plausible rationale as to why she wouldn’t accept his offer.

Jason knew his wanting to sign her up had everything to do with his ego. His father had established Serenity with the raison d’état of signing only new talent, and forty years later, he and Ana had continued the tradition.

Unlike some of his college buddies and those with whom he’d maintained friendship from childhood, Jason had always been overly cautious as to whom he bedded. He had never engaged in one-night stands or slept with a woman until they’d dated for what he considered enough time to feel comfortable and/or to get to know her better. However, there was now one exception: Greer.

There was something inherently innate that told him she was the one. The one woman who could get him to consider changing his marital status to share his life and their future. He’d watched his twin sister with her new husband, and he saw something that hadn’t been apparent before. Ana was calmer, more reflective, as if she’d rid herself of the impulsivity that had been so much a part of her aggressive personality. If Ana was fire, then Jason was water. He would become her voice of reason—whenever she got into a snit while negotiating with a client’s agent, suggesting she step back and look at the deal from another angle. She’d accused him of being too soft and laid-back but Jason was quick to remind his sister and business partner that, although she’d earned a law degree, he was more than versed with the ins and outs of business. Degrees in music and an MBA had
