All Chapters of Jaded: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

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

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

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.

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

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
