Jaded Talk Dirty
Kari"I liked him." Jake lay in the bed, his body bare from the waist up. He had his hands tucked behind his head, his eyes on Kari.She glanced over her shoulder as she stood in her panties and her bra. "I did too. He was nice. A gentleman.""To us. You could tell that he was totally into your mom." Jake rolled onto his side, the movement causing the thick muscles of his chest and arms to flex.Kari groaned and turned back to the dresser, removing her earrings and working on her bra. "God, you're hot.""Get over here and let me use my hotness to make you sweaty." He smiled as she turned and pulled her panties down, almost tripping on the way to the bed.He reached out and grabbed her, pulling her into the comfort of her twin-sized bed before trapping her beneath him. He laughed softly. "You're so beautiful.""I'm clumsy." She reached up and touched the side of his face as he wiggled his way down between her thighs."I don't care what you are. You're mine." He moved down and brushed h
Jaded Practice Makes Perfect
JakeTwo Days LaterSpending time with Kari's mom gave Jake the last little push he needed. He'd be asking her to marry him for sure. The ring sat on his dresser, open for him to stare at as he pulled various items out of his dresser. His parents were picking them up at the airport that afternoon, and he and Kari had decided to spend the night before at their own places.She wanted a girls’ night with Lisa and Sicily, and he was happy to have a night to think things through. Asking her to marry him back in Texas seemed like the perfect answer, but like he'd told Marc a few days before... she would want to be around their friends and her brother to help celebrate. Her mom had agreed to a surprise visit, which Jake would be paying for. He didn't mind at all."Speaking of," he grumbled as he turned and walked back into his tiny living room to grab his phone. He pressed the button to call Marc and dropped down on the couch."What's up, bro?""Hey." Jake ran his fingers through his hair an
Jaded Texas
Kari"Mom, this is Kari. Dad." Jake had his hand on Kari's back as they moved up toward his parents in the baggage claim."Finally." His mother moved forward and pulled Kari into a hug. "Jake's been talking about you for the last nine months.""And I can see why." His father smiled down at Kari. "You're just beautiful.""All right. Stop embarrassing her." Jake wrapped his arm around her shoulders."Where are your brothers?" She glanced up at him as nerves tore through her. Meeting new people was the pits, even people that would soon be family."They'll be at the house, I'm sure." Jake glanced behind him, the movement accentuating the thick muscles in his neck. Kari's tummy tightened in anticipation of pressing her lips to it. "Momma. Are the guys at the house yet?""You know Kade isn't going to make it home this Christmas." Jake's father's voice was deep, commanding.Kari wasn't sure what to think of him yet, but Jake's mother had a sweet disposition. She was a cute woman with dark ha
Jaded Best Buddy
Kari"Where are your brothers? They don’t come to these things?" Kari sat beside Jake in an old Ford pick-up truck as they drove toward the next town over. The hayride sounded fun, but she wanted a chance to meet the rest of Jake's family before they left for the evening."They're out seeing their friends, baby. We'll see them later tonight or tomorrow morning. Mom isn't going to let us run around town after tonight. Let's go hang out with some of my old friends and then we'll be with my family the rest of the weekend." He reached over and gripped her hand, tugging. "Move closer. These old trucks are good for snuggling up. There's a lap belt here in the middle you can use."She unbuckled and moved over. "I like this. It could be good for a nap.""A nap?" He smiled."Yeah. I could lay my head in your lap and curl up." She licked at the side of her mouth and moved up beside him before gripping his thigh tightly."You put your head in my lap and there isn't going to be much sleeping." He
Jaded Bobbing and Weaving
Jake"Wow, man. She's breathtaking." Tyler's eyes moved toward Kari as she walked over to grab another beer after the hayride. Some of the girls from high school had fallen in love with her too over the short evening. They were surrounding her as they all walked toward the beer tent."Yeah. I didn't think I would ever get over Bethany, but Kari put a stop to that shit so fast it still makes my head spin." He rubbed his left shoulder as the same old ache resurrected.Tyler turned back to study him. "I'm glad to hear that. I keep looking for Olivia everywhere I go. I heard she was in New York and it's driving me crazy knowing she's probably on the floor below me or something fucked up like that.""She's not with someone?" Jake lifted his eyebrow. Olivia and Tyler's story was heartbreaking, one that kept his best friend bent over where women were concerned."I don't know." He lifted his half-empty beer bottle to his lips. "I guess I could find out, but a part of me doesn't want to know.
Jaded He's a Player
KariHis eyes were still glossy as they parked the truck and walked up to the house. Kari moved in front of him and pressed her hand against his strong chest, forcing him to stop before they reached the back door to his parents' house."Hey. Snap out of it." She laughed. "Your mom is going to think someone died, or a girl gave you head in the truck. Don't do that to me, please."He blinked a few times, his dark lashes beautiful as they moved over his high cheekbones. He stole her breath far too often. It was almost frightful to think of how much harder she could fall in love with him if she let herself."I'm sorry. I'm just... just so taken with you." He touched her face reverently. "That was incredible. It's been so long since-""Let's not wait too long until the next time." She pulled him down for a soft kiss. "I'd be happy to do that all the time. I just wasn't sure if you-""I love it." He licked at her mouth. "I can't wait to return the favor."She shivered in his arms as her bod
Jaded Catching Up with the Brothers
JakeJake woke to the sound of his brothers arguing over something in the living room the next morning. He reached for Kari, but found her gone."Baby?" He sat up and realized the door to his bedroom was open. Landon and Clint were rarely up early, and seeing that their trucks weren’t out front last night when he and Kari got back, he had to assume they'd gotten in really late.What the hell were they doing up, and even more so, why were they being so insanely loud?Getting up, Jake reached for his jeans crumbled up on the floor by the bed. He shivered and pulled them over his legs before grabbing a long-sleeve t-shirt from his bag and pulling it over his head. He walked down the hall as a smile crept up his face. He couldn't wait to see his brothers. It had been too damn long."Dude, get your ass back. You know he's going to want at least three pieces." Landon turned and got down into position. "I will fuck you up, good.""Landon Jackson Isaac. Watch your mouth." Jake's mom walked in
Jaded Simply the Best
Kari"You ready to go to town?" Jake's mom walked out on the porch with a cup of coffee in her hand."Absolutely. Is Jake up yet?" Kari got up from her spot beside Jake's father on the porch swing. It was cold outside, but they'd installed heaters around the porch. It was bliss."Yeah. He's eating breakfast and catching up with his brothers." She chuckled. "Those boys are as rowdy as you were when you were younger, honey."Jake's dad glanced up from his Bible. "Oh yeah? We should beat it out of them."Kari chuckled. "Can I watch?""Heck yes. You need to know how to get your own boys to behave." He smiled at her. "Thanks for visiting with me.""Anytime." Her cheeks burned. He was beyond precious. Seemingly such a good man. He reminded her of Jake, or maybe it was the other way around."All right, you flirt." Jake's mom moved over to push at the Bible on his father's lap and slipped into his arms, surprising Kari a little. "We're going shopping for a little while. You get the boys to he
