Chapter 15

“THAT was… damn,” Will said, once the ladies left the room.

Jase sighed. “Yeah.” And he hated how much it smarted. She hadn’t meant it. She hadn’t. But it immediately made him think of being on his knees in front of Ase, doing his best not to let himself get lost in what his daddy would think of him for it.

“Should we put in the lift? If it’ll make her happy?”

Jase gave Will his attention. “Her physio guy said no. He wants her using the stairs as much as possible now that she’s so mobile.”

“You sure it’s not the money?”

Jase scowled. “No, William. It’s not the damn money. I told you, if it was necessary I could cover it. I wasn’t bullshitting. I just think, unless the doc says to give in, I should keep her on track. She’s supposedly doing really well. If giving in to her shitty moods sets her back, she won’t thank us for it any more than she’ll thank us for putting in that lift.”

Will smiled. “Yeah. I can hear her now. It don’t match the walls, it don’t sit right, it don’t leave room for people to get up the stairs.”

Jase snorted. “Among other complaints.”

“Y’all stop gossipin’ about your mama in her own living room,” Ms. Jaclyn said, with no heat to the words.

“We’ve been doing it since we were old enough to talk. Why stop now?” Will teased. Ms. Jaclyn shook her head, but was smiling as she picked up Ensure bottles and tissues their mama had managed to collect on the table beside her chair.

Just then they all looked out the window at the motorcycle coming up the drive. Jase felt a buzzing down to his toes, recognizing the sound of Matilda II before he even saw the blue and black body of the BMW. She didn’t growl like a Harley, but she definitely didn’t sound like a car.

“Hot damn, that’s a beauty,” Will said. Jase felt proud for Ase, knowing he’d love to hear the compliment.

“Yes, he is,” Ms. Jaclyn said. Jase choked at that. But he couldn’t deny the truth of it. Ase’d come off the bike, hanging his helmet on one handlebar, and unfolded his long, lean body like a graceful cat as he removed his jacket and stretched his legs. His black, sleeveless shirt showed off his well-toned, tattooed arms. Jase could only wonder from Will’s expression what he thought of the olive-skinned tattooed guy who’d ridden up on a motorcycle in skinny jeans. Of course, when he narrowed his eyes at Jase, he didn’t have to wonder long.

“Friend of yours?” Will asked. Jase nodded, watching Ase pull out his cell phone and take a call.

“Yeah. Ase. He’s a doctor over at University.”

“That so?” Will asked. His tone wasn’t exactly unfriendly. Jase hated thinking that, since his brother was the only one in his family who knew Jase liked guys too, and he was sizing up Jase next to Ase’s six-foot frame, what conclusions Will might be coming to.
