Jasper – Ruby Raynes

I learned how to go numb in the system, only allowing myself to feel through my brushes of a paint stroke, and nothing more. And it was enough… until it wasn’t, and I needed to feel life beneath my feet. Another text lights up my phone. Can he not take the hint? Irritation sits under my skin. Billy isn’t even a decent friend. Or an actual friend, for that matter. We party and do crazy shit, but I don’t even know his last name, and I doubt he knows mine.

That says something. I ignore him. It doesn’t take long for my number one distraction to swing back around and take up residence in my head again. Olly. I keep replaying the other night over and over in my head. The way he kissed me. The way he sucked me to within an inch of my life. The way he looked at me, past my shiny shell, sent shivers down my spine. My obsession is feeling less like an obsession and more like a… friendship? With kissing and blow jobs?

I’m in too deep and the odds of this blowing up in my face are high. “Hey, Jasper.” Another distraction. I look to see Dom leaning against the door of my workstation. “Hey, what’s up?” “I was thinking of heading over to Dragonfly for lunch. Do you wanna go?” I look down at my watch and see it’s already past noon.

“When are you leaving?” He shrugs. “I was just finishing up inventory at my station, so say, fifteen minutes?” “Yeah, ok.” I go back to finishing up what I’m working on, once again getting lost in the zone until Dom says he’s ready to go and we head out. Dragonfly is busy, but we snag seats along the back wall.

“Hey guys,” Spencer greets us. “How’s it going?” Dom asks. “Oh, you know, just another day of running around with my head chopped off.” “And how is the spy?” I ask, because I still don’t trust the tiny human. Spencer beams, and it’s contagious. Happiness radiates from him. “She’s amazing,” he says, as he practically twirls. “We somehow timed her naps to be over the lunch rush. I don’t know how long that’s gonna last, but hopefully, until I get another server hired.” He looks around at the busy café.

“This tiny little town has really come into its own, hasn’t it?” “It has. Even Olly is hiring and expanding with the idea of the bakery.” I know I was grumpy about him stepping away from The Diner, but I’m happy for him. It’s the idea of leaving something stable for something uncertain that makes me nervous.

But when I say shake things up, I didn’t think a baby spy and Jasper would be the ones doing the shaking. I never expected to pause my life to help a little girl find her forever home, or for Jasper to come barging in. Not that I’m complaining.

I just hope that when the chaos subsides, and the dust clears, he finally lets me in, and I won’t be left standing all alone. Jasper— I knew something needed to give when a health scare sent me spiraling. I needed to slow down, but that also meant letting people in. Can Olly, my obsession, be one of those people?

I’m amazed when a baby spy shows up, moving through life effortlessly, always going with the punches. Do I have the strength to do that? Can I finally tell everyone who I really am? And will Olly still be there when he finds out? ****Jasper – Love in Ink is a low angst, steamy MM Romance.
