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
Jaded A City Gal
Jake"I think you wore her out," Jake whispered against Kari's hair as they drove toward the church. His mom and dad were in the front seat, and his brothers in the truck behind them. With Kari tucked against him, everything seemed right."She's a great girl." Jake's mom glanced back toward the backseat and smiled. "I love her already."Jake chuckled. "I knew you guys would.""Where are her parents? She has to be missing them tonight." Jake's father reached up and adjusted the rearview mirror."I don't know about her father, but her mom is in New York. They were divorced when Kari was in high school or something. We haven't talked much about it, but her mom is a sweetheart. I met her earlier this week.""New York, hm? A bunch of city girls this time?"Jake chuckled at his father's teasing. He'd grown up talking about marrying a nice country girl who could make biscuits like his mother. Seemed so foreign now, but it was irrelevant. Kari was everything a man could want, and far more tha
Jaded A Very Merry Christmas
KariKari woke before the sun rose the next morning. She stretched and reached for Jake, wrapping herself around him in the dark. They had on pjs, which sucked, but seemed necessary for sleeping over at his mom's house.He pulled her on top of him and kissed her a few times before running his strong hands down her back and massaging her rear. "Make love to me."She moaned and sat up to pull her shirt off. His hands were all over her before she could toss the thing back to the ground. Morning sex had to be the best. Everything was warm and snuggly."God, you feel good," she whispered roughly and rolled her hips, rubbing herself against him."Shorts off," he barked, his voice thick with sleep."So bossy." She got up and walked toward the window, opening the curtains before pulling her shorts over her legs."I'm a coach. We coach people. It's part of the job." He worked himself out of his shorts and reached for her as she moved to the edge of the bed. "So beautiful, Kari.""I'm all yours
Jaded Picking Out Baby Names
Jake"You guys are getting too old for jumping in the bed. You almost broke it this morning." Jake's mother looked over her shoulder as Jake and his brothers stood around the cinnamon rolls she'd just pulled out of the oven. Nothing had changed."You love it, Mom." Jake moved up behind his mom and ran his hands over her shoulders, squeezing softly before leaning forward to kiss her cheek. "Thanks for breakfast. It looks amazing.""You're the best cooker in the world, Momma." Clint pushed at Jake and took his place, pulling his mom in a hug."Brother." Jake rolled his eyes and looked around. "Where's Kari?""She's on the porch with your father. They seem to be out there a lot. Did you say her dad wasn't part of the picture when she was growing up?" Jake's mom turned and gave him a loving look."I don't know much, like I said last night." He wrapped his arms around his chest and let out a sigh. "I'd be happy to share Daddy with her. You too.""I don't think you have much of a choice." H
Jaded Ghosts of Christmas Past
Kari"Perfect." Jake's mom picked up the pan of stuffing she and Kari had been working on for the last half hour."I've never had stuffing with cornbread." Kari held her hands in front of her and walked to the sink to wash them. Apparently in Texas, people used their hands to mash up the stuffing and stir the tea. It was odd."Then you are in for a real treat." Clint walked into the kitchen and moved around to turn the water on for Kari. He picked up the soap and squirted it on her hands while smiling."Thanks. Is this your job on stuffing days?" She chuckled at the cute look on his handsome face. How the bleach-blond hottie wasn't dating someone was beyond her."Absolutely. It means I don't have to stick my hands in that gushy stuff. Ugh." He scowled and reached for a hand towel. "Here you go.""Thanks." She took it and wiped her hands off, looking around afterward to find Jake's mom had disappeared. "Where are you living now?""I'm in San Francisco." He lifted his hands toward the c
Jaded All My Exes Live in Texas
JakeThree Days Later"Thanks for meeting up with me, man." Tyler smiled across the table at the little diner on the corner of the square in town."Of course, man. Kari was going to come with me, but some of my mother's sisters came into town last night. They're going shopping today. Antiquing. Should be fun seeing that Kari has no clue what the hell that is." Jake shook his head, not at all worried about his woman. She fit in perfectly with his family, even better than Bethany had, and she'd grown up down the road from him.Tyler chuckled. "I'm glad you found her, man. I wasn't sure if you were going to get over that shit with Bethany.""Me either." He picked up his coffee. "Kari didn't give me much of a choice. But enough about me. Tell me what's going on. You and Luke's firm is doing well?"He ran his fingers through his dark hair. "Yeah. It's busting at the seams. Luke is supposed to be looking for a senior-level investment manager, but he's too busy scoring new accounts. I swear
Jaded Baby, It's Cold Outside
KariThe flight was delayed a little, so they didn't get home until three in the morning. Kari begged Jake to spend the night with her, though he much preferred them stay together out at his house. Getting up around her friends weirded him out for some reason.She woke before him and turned on her side, smiling. He was beautiful, lying beside her on his stomach, his dark hair tousled and lips so damn kissable.Reaching over, she ran her fingers down the side of his face. How did she ever get so lucky? Life with him was going to be fully alive, feeling and experiencing so much more than she thought possible.Now if her mother and brother could find the same type of relationships, everything would be great."Speaking of," she whispered softly and rolled over, carefully getting out of the bed and pulling on her robe. Marc was most likely rolled up with Lisa, but she hadn't talked to her mom in a few days. The conversation outside of the church on Christmas Eve was almost too short for he
