Sneak Peek

Here's a peek at the second half of Chapter 3:

“Have you ever played before?” Edward asked Jasper quietly as they set everything up.

Jasper grinned. “I think so. But you may need to help me out just a bit. Maybe just remind me how the game is played.”

Edward didn’t want to read too much into that statement, but the look in Jasper’s eye told him that he probably wasn’t reading it wrong. Holy hell. “It’s been awhile since I’ve played, y’know,” he said softly. He wondered just what his cousin had told Jasper about him while they’d been shopping.

“Me too,” Jasper said with a shrug. “Guess we’ll just have to figure it out together?”

Edward couldn’t fight the smile he felt break out on his face, though he was fighting not to hold his breath in anticipation of Jasper’s responses. “Yeah. I think I’d like that.”

The grin on Jasper’s face probably matched Edward’s own. He nodded and turned to the pile of dominoes on the table, and Edward did the same, ignoring the looks from his family. He selected his tile to see who went first, and as usual, Alice won the draw. Eleven tiles went into each of their hands and Edward started sorting through his to get his plays lined up.
