Jaded Still Mean
LisaLisa stood at the front door for a few minutes, trying to process some of the emotions that had bubbled up inside of her. Fighting with Marc didn't help the situation at all. She had to figure out how to let him into the pain of living out her childhood. It sat on her like a wet wool coat. The memories that flooded her, just standing in front of the house, had her searching for more air to breathe. Everything hurt.She turned, putting her back to the door. Marc was long gone, and she honestly thought about calling him and having him stay with her. He would have, but she'd shoved him away.It's embarrassing how much she hates you.Lisa reached up and brushed her hair back, forcing her thoughts back. Her mother did hate her, or something close to it. She had nothing good to say, she never had.The door opened behind Lisa, and she turned. Fredrick smiled and opened his arms. "Miss Lisa. How are you, dear? Your father said we should expect you today."She smiled. "Fredrick. It's good
Jaded The Boyfriend
Marc"Your mom tells me that you're studying biology at NYU. You know I work with your mom at St. Mark's. If you're interested in an internship in one of our research areas, I could help with that." Charles sat down across the table from Marc."I appreciate that. I'm not sure where I'm going to be." Marc shifted his eyes toward his mother, who stood in the kitchen, looking back at him. "I'm dating a woman in Maine.""Oh." Charles chuckled and turned toward Marc's mom. "Love comes first, then career. The boy has it right."She smiled and walked toward them, ruffling Marc's hair. "I just prayed that he would fall in love with someone and do right by me one day.""Mom." Marc stood as someone knocked at the door. "Let's not talk about my childish antics with girls in the past, please?"Marc hated to admit it, but Charles was a great guy. He was the right guy for Marc's mother. He was polite, older, wealthy and had a calm about him that was contagious. As much as Marc wanted to be a dick t
Jaded Telling Him Everything
Lisa"I'm just going to have dinner with Marc and his mom. I shouldn't be gone more than an hour or two." Lisa pulled her coat on as the sound of someone honking out front sounded again."It's fine. You don't have to stay here for the holidays, Lisa. I just wanted to see you, sweetheart." Her father moved behind her and helped her get her coat on. "Do what you need to do.""Thanks, Dad." She turned and kissed him on the cheek before opening the door and jogging toward Marc's truck. Seeing him sitting in the driver's seat, a sexy smile on his lips and the look of love on his face was her undoing.She opened the door and got into the truck, closing the door and moving toward him. "I'm sorry for fighting earlier. I shouldn't have closed you out.""Hush." He pulled her in tight and consumed her, her lips so damn soft and wet. He kissed her until she was panting softly for air. "God, I want you. Maybe we can sneak away to my bedroom after dinner? Just a quickie before I let you back out?"
Jaded Try Not to Moan
Lisa"Lisa, tell me again about your real estate business. Were you doing that here in New York before you left?" Marc's mom walked back into the dining room after dinner with a platter of carrot cake in her hands.Lisa lifted her coffee to her lips and nodded. "Yes, ma'am. I started my sophomore year in college working on the business. When I realized I didn't want to go into law, like my mother expected me to, I changed my major to business. It was a huge deal at the time, but I'm glad I did. I couldn't work the hours that most lawyers do.""I understand that. I wish someone would have warned me about being a nurse." The older woman sat down and picked up an empty plate, lifting it toward Lisa. "You want to try my homemade carrot cake?""Yes. Badly." Lisa laughed and took the plate."Almost there. Just shake it. Hard." Marc and Charles were in the living room, trying to put up a fake tree and having hell with it. They were taking turns giving each other advice over how to get it to
Jaded A Baker's Dozen
Marc"That was nice." Lisa moved up behind Marc as he stood outside his mother's house, waiting on her."Yeah. It was." He turned and pulled her into his arms as he shivered. It was freezing and with the sun going down, it was only going to get colder. "You ready to head out to your parents’?"She ran her hands down his back and squeezed his ass. "I didn't get my quickie with you.""I knew something was missing. I kept thinking it was salt on the roast." He snorted and leaned down to brush his lips by hers."You're so silly." She kissed him a few times before pulling back. "Let's get going. I'm sure my father is already pacing the floor. He doesn't do very well with life in general when my mom is sick.""That's because she is his life." Marc wrapped an arm around her and squeezed her breast as they walked to the truck. "I understand his reaction completely. I'd be a hot-ass mess if something happened to you.""Well, you are hot." Lisa moved out of his hold and reached for the door as
Jaded Faster
LisaShe couldn't help but smile at Marc and Maria's teasing. Never in a million years would she have wanted kids before Marc Martin. He was going to change everything about her. In the past she would have tucked tail and ran like crazy from anyone who was trying to change her, but it felt right with him. Like it was all part of a larger plan."Hey. Come let me hold you." He dropped down on the couch and reached for her as she moved toward the fire and turned to face him."How about you hold me upstairs in the bed? I've been admiring how well your ass fits in those jeans.""Oh yeah? Wanna rip them off of me?" He smirked and she laughed. He would forever be the playboy she fell in love with. As long as she was the only one he was playing with."I sure do." She walked toward the door, glancing over her shoulder. "Or we could start with a strip tease.""Um, yes. Just yes." He bolted off the couch and walked behind her as they moved up the stairs in the darkness. She expected him to reach
Jaded Meeting Mother
MarcThe night was filled with listening to her moan, watching her shake and beg for more. There was nothing like Lisa Parks in the bedroom. She left him weak in the knees, his mind fragmented in the effort to outdo himself, the desire to brand her. The lust between them was still intense, demanding, delicious.Marc rolled onto his side and tugged the covers down as she slept soundly with her back to him. He reached out to run his fingers down her spine as he took a shaky breath. It didn't help that she was gorgeous, far more woman than he deserved."Come closer and pull the covers up." She coughed and reached down to tug at the covers."Yes, ma'am. Anything else?" He moved up behind her, tucking his erection against the softness of her ass. Her alabaster skin was silky beneath his fingers as he traced her shoulder and ran his fingers down her arm."A cup of coffee would be heaven, but don't go yet. I like you there.""That's because you're a naughty girl." He pressed his teeth agains
Jaded Skating
Lisa"Thanks for helping my mom this morning." Lisa glanced over at Marc as he drove them toward the mall. She hadn't been ice skating in ten years if not more. It would be nice to do something fun for a few hours and try not to let the situation back home consume her thoughts."How did you know I helped?" He reached over and cupped his hand over hers as it rested on her thigh."Johnny told me." She smirked."Oh, Johnny the ex-boyfriend who popped your cherry?" Marc intertwined his fingers with hers."Jealous, are we?" She turned to watch the world go by. The city was filled with people, lights and snow. It was almost majestic."Not in the slightest. I mean, I wish we would have known each other when we were younger, but I'm happy about how things are turning out." He shrugged. "Your mom needed help this morning and was giving Maria hell about toting her downstairs, so I thought I would offer some help.""Well, thank you. It means a lot to me." She glanced back at him, taking time to
