Jaded Caught With Another Man
LisaLisa stood up from her chair and stretched, the sun long gone behind the earth and yet there was still so much to do. She grumbled about letting Trisha go home, but the older woman was tired and had worked more than a full day.She checked her phone, Kari having sent her a few messages about the fun they were all having at Sicily's bakery. Marc was there with them and honestly, the thought of that alone made Lisa want to drop her responsibilities and go."How are you feeling?"A deep male voice scared her as she jumped, a soft yelp leaving her. Heat flooded her face as she smiled, her hand coming up to rub along the skin above her palpitating heart."I'm good. Damn you scared me. Trisha had a bell on the door earlier this week to save us both from moments like this." She laughed and motioned for the chair in front of her desk. "Take off a load?""Not in the way I'd like to make it happen, but it will suffice for now."She chuckled at his innuendo, his eyes filled with mischief. "
Jaded Something Strong
LisaLisa walked into the small cafe that sat at the edge of the bay, her friends already engrossed in some topic of conversation as she approached. No matter how much concealer she applied that morning before work, the dark circles under her eyes gave away the fact that she hadn't slept at all the night before. Marc hadn't come back home. He was headed back to New York, no doubt. His last words to her were hateful and left her feeling like the whore she had always worked to be.If you love them with your body, you don't have to involve your heart. She swallowed the sadness that rose from the pit of her stomach up her throat again. She had gotten so upset just after midnight that she threw up everything she had eaten earlier that day. Her eyes burned as she pulled off her sunglasses and slid into the booth across from her friends."Let's just get this shit over with." She put her purse down and looked up. She needed to push them past their worry, and move them into a good lunch that
Jaded Confessing
Lisa"See? I told you Drake liked you. Even Lisa can see it and she's not been around nearly as much as I have lately." Kari turned to Sicily, reaching out and rubbing the other girl's arm."I don't give two shits if Drake likes me. He probably just feels sorry for me or is looking at me like most men look at a home improvement project. I'm a fixer upper." Sicily sniffled, lifting the napkin to her face.They needed to get off the subject. Lisa wasn't about to let her best friend sit across the table and drag herself into a pit of despair over a couple of pounds."Let's join the gym together." Lisa dunked her bread back in the butter. “I need to lose a little bit of weight and I know my heart could be strengthened after the last few days.” She smiled, but no one returned the gesture. The joke apparently wasn't that funny."I'm not joining the gym. Drake will be all up my butt and all over my shiz.""Shiz? How old are you? It's shit." Lisa winked as Sicily smiled."So vulgar!" Kari thr
Jaded Leaving Town
MarcHe hadn't been able to get a flight out until just after lunch on Friday. To say his sister was pissed at him would be a mild understatement. Marc had been sitting at the airport for the better part of eighteen hours by the time he loaded the plane to head home, but misery had been his company. How Lisa could do something so vile to him left him breathless. Love hadn't been a part of his past and he was more than assured it wouldn't belong in his future.Nothing hurt more than the death of his father, but seeing his woman wrapped up in a much better version of him came really fucking close. The man she had in her office was older than her... by quite a bit. He reeked of wealth and the possessive way he held her, followed her, comforted her, gave Marc the impression that they had been together before - many times.He swallowed down his regret and got on the plane, finding his seat and sinking down into it. Slipping his headphones on, Marc cranked up the music, not giving two shits
Jaded Shocked
Marc"Dayum," Drayer called out loudly before tapping his fingers on the table. "Yeah. I can handle a lot, but cheating isn't part of the deal. You want a threesome? Good with me, but no fucking around with someone when I'm not there.""You would have a threesome with a girl and let another dude be the other member?""Hell yeah, but she'd have to be my girl." Drayer took a drink of his beer and lifted the empty bottle, mouthing to someone behind Marc that he wanted another."Would you let the guy... you know...""What? No. I'd let him take her and touch her, but he better not touch me."Marc let out a sigh. "I was starting to wonder, dude.""Oh yeah? You interested in taking a girl together?""Um, fuck no. Lisa is the only girl I want, and if you or any other mother fucker thinks it wise to touch her, you got an ass whooping coming your way.""Did you kick that guy’s ass?""No. I didn't even think about it actually. I was so stunned, so fucking shocked." Marc ran his hands over his fa
Jaded Don't Hold Me Down
LisaLisa got up early Saturday morning, her client showing being an hour away, but not until just after lunch. She would rather hang out in the office than stay at home and let her friends dote on her. They had tried to get her to watch a movie the night before but she came up with some research related to work that she needed to focus on. The truth was, that for the first time in her life, listening to sappy heart-breaking music and eating chocolate-covered gummy bears sounded better than anything else offered. She almost felt like a teenager again.Having dressed quickly in a cream-colored dress and a beige jacket and heels, Lisa left the house as the sun was rising. A quick glance over her shoulder before getting in the car left her scarred. The beauty of the sunrise over the edge of the bay was breathtaking. It was a moment that captured the essence of beauty. It pressed the desire to love even farther down her throat, as if every sappy commercial and love song on the radio weren
Jaded Shake Him Off
LisaIt was a hateful blow. She shouldn't have teased the poor guy back at the house showing, but he seemed to think he was going to move in and gain some side action with Lisa. Shit wasn't happening. Never, would she be someone's mistress. Sleeping with an unmarried man and having him dote on her was one thing, but having to play second to a man's wife would never happen."Don't you look stunning?" Michael stood as Lisa walked into the quaint restaurant, her stomach tight with knots over having to make a decision. She wasn't interested in a long-term relationship and Michael very much seemed to be. She was hoping that if anything, the conversation would turn to them and that Michael would agree to keep things casual.But could she really do that? Casual meant sex on a whim and vacations. It meant long nights of trying to remember to moan the right name.Lisa extended her hand as she stifled her thoughts, needing to remain present and dip into the hypothetical madness that had started
Jaded At the Club
MarcMarc arrived at the club a little late, Dray's vibrant green mustang parked out front already. The place was overflowing with people, the bouncer nodding at Marc as he pushed past the guy arguing with the big guy at the front of the line."Sup, Marc." The bouncer nodded and lifted his hand."Hey buddy. History class mid-term next week. You ready?"The guy laughed and flipped Marc off. Marc chuckled and slipped into the sea of people. The club scene had always been so comfortable, so welcoming, but all of a sudden it didn't feel right. Moving around the dance floor, Marc spotted Drayer and a couple of other guys from the basketball team. There were two girls to every guy, which would have been a good sign in the past. Damn if Lisa didn't move across his mind, memories of her groans filling his ears above the wailing of the music.He stopped by the bar and ordered two shots and a beer. A pretty brunette to his left winked at him and he nodded in response, not at all interested. He
