Chapter 96

Jon wasn't happy. "So we're moving in?"

"I'm planning to work for Reed. We need to be at his house when he's out of town and it's easier if we live there. I'll be sharing a room with Bitsy so you can have your own room to yourself without having to sleep on a couch." Reed had discussed Jon moving into the main house, but I put my foot down. My brother would remain with Bitsy and me.

"You think I'm stupid. I know exactly the kind of work he wants from you."

I had to tighten my fingers to keep from slapping his face. "It's a job, Jon. I'm not having sex with Reed and I don't plan on it." That was the biggest lie of my life. I sighed loudly and looked straight into my brother's eyes. He deserved honesty even if my face flushed bright red. "Okay, I might have sex with him, but it's not your business. I promise it won't be in exchange for anything he gives us."

Jon looked away, but his voice carried his concern, "I like him, Jaycee, but I don't want him hurting you."
