Show Me a Garden: Sneak Peek

Alright, here's the real teaser for chapter 17.

**

There were days when Edward cursed the damage done to his body. The accident had stolen much more than his ability to play professional piano, but also his ability to find joy in small things like playing baseball with his family. He knew he’d made amazing progress in his physical recovery, beyond what his therapists had expected.

He was wrenched from his thoughts as Jasper put on a little show for him, tossing the bat around in a flurry of movement. Edward applauded and Jasper bowed slightly from the shoulders and turned to face the machine that would lob balls at him. He took up a stance and Edward took the moment to admire Jasper’s ass in the jeans he was wearing, low slung around his hips, his boxers peeking out, revealed by the way his shirt lifted when he raised his arms in preparation to hit the ball.

Edward was content with the pace their physical relationship was taking. They hadn’t done much more than kiss, which wasn’t surprising, given that the only time they’d been in a bed big enough to do anything they’d both been too ill to do anything more than really sleep with each other. Jasper was openly physically affectionate, though, and Edward found himself looking forward to whatever touch Jasper would bestow. He’d be lying if he said he didn’t want to sleep with him, but Edward also knew they both had some issues to work through, and they’d figure it out sooner or later. In the meantime, Edward made due with ogling Jasper in the gym in the mornings and building up a fantasy in his head.

Though the afternoon was providing some new material for him as he watched Jasper swing and connect with a ball, returning the blond’s bright grin when Jasper turned to look at him.
