Jason London Teaser #3
TEASER TUESDAY!
Lori Ann...
_________________I let Jason just hold me as the stress of the last few days overwhelmed me and I cried. I could feel how tense he was and see the worry in both his and Craig’s eyes about my multiple injuries and our tricky departure from Italy. It was true that my husband Antonio’s arms stretched far and wide across a large portion of the country. We just needed to get on a plane as soon as possible and get back to The States.
“Jace, what will we do if we can’t get on a flight today?” I didn’t lift my head as I asked the question.
Jason’s hand rubbed up and down the small portion of my left arm not covered in a cast as he held me firmly, but gently so he didn't cause anymore hurt to my broken body. Then, kissing the top of my head, he said, “We’ll keep you safe, baby. If we have to find a place to sleep tonight we will, but Craig and I won’t let anything happen to you.”

Teaser Tuesday - Jason London
I knew everything about my Lori Ann. She was tall, about 5’9” had long dark hair, giant blue eyes and the longest legs I’d ever seen. She’d been a swimmer in college so those damn legs were killer. She was smart and sarcastic, which was just perfect for me. She loved old movies and red wine. Her favorite band was Bon Jovi, which I constantly gave her shit about, and she was a great dancer. I knew lots more too…like where she was ticklish, what her favorite color was and where she’d had her first kiss. I was pretty pathetic. But she’d been my best friend for years and I had no doubt she knew just as much about me as I did about her.
*****I walked into my house after a long day at work. Lori Ann had been on my mind for a few weeks. I’d ignored the need to return her call while we all waited to make sure my brother Derek was ‘out of the woods’ and home. And as his healing progressed, I started to feel desperate to call her back, but the rock in the pit of my stomach delayed me from doing it. Her voice, that incredible voice, was full of concern and something else…something different, a sadness I’d never heard before.
Lori Ann and I had kept in close contact over the fifteen years since college, even taken some trips together and spent a few holidays with each of our families. We were really close. But I hadn’t heard a peep out of her for almost a year and I tried not to push since she was a married woman.
“Hey, Jase. How are you? How is Derek? You know I keep up with you guys, even from Italy. Please tell me he’s okay. Will you call me back? I know it’s been a long time…and I’m sorry. I should have called you. Things are just a little…well, I just should have called.” She paused. “But I really need to hear your voice…please, Jason. Call me back.”
I’d listened to it at least ten times and every time the hair on the back of my neck stood up. Not only because I missed her, but because something was wrong. I just couldn’t figure it out. So, tonight was the night to put my feelings and pride aside, pick up the damn phone and call her back.
I dialed her international number. Ringing. Ringing.
“Ciao?”
I knew her sweet voice immediately. “So, want to tell me what’s going on and why you’ve been avoiding me for the last year?”
"Jason!" She gasped and whispered my name.

Prologue for Jason London...
My life had been a fucking nightmare.
My younger brother, the former NFL player turned firefighter, had been severely injured and on death’s door, as a matter of fact. We’d been held hostage at the hospital for weeks. His bride-to-be, Claire was one of the strongest women I’d ever known…aside from my mom and Lori Ann. Actually, they were probably all about equal in their feminine strength.
Shit…Lori Ann. I needed to call her back.
Thankfully, Derek pulled through, married the love of his life and they were expecting a baby. I was really happy for him. My little brother had seen more hard times than I cared to mention and he’d finally found happiness with a woman that was pretty incredible. Claire had been through her own share of shit and had risen above it. I was in awe of the woman and loved her as fiercely as I did one of my blood family members.
Truthfully, seeing Derek find his soul mate, at the age of 35, made me jealous. I was his older brother. And although 37 wasn’t that old, I felt ancient. Perhaps, it was due to the stress of holding us all together these last few weeks while we watched Derek struggle for his life. Maybe it was the ache I felt seeing him so happy.
I’d dated plenty of girls.
They were nice, kind…some a little kinky, but not one of them held my heart…held my soul in their hands.
Only one had that privilege and she was already taken.
