Page 378 of The Parkers' Handsome Holiday
"Me too," Kari whispered back.
"I can hear you guys. Jeez." Sicily picked up the bag and walked toward the door. "Come on and tell me more about the trip to Texas. Do you know if Jake has brothers and sisters, or what? I'm surprised we haven't had this talk before."
"We've been a little busy." Kari walked with Lisa just behind Sicily. "But, he has three brothers. His older brother is in the military and stationed overseas, but he mentioned that his two younger brothers are coming home for the holidays."
"Good thing I have Marc." Lisa wagged her eyebrows and gave them a sexy smile. "Otherwise I would be tagging along. Jake Isaac is the full package. Sexy as sin and such a good boy."
"You're corrupt," Sicily mumbled over her shoulder as the three of them laughed.
No truer words had ever been uttered.
CHAPTER 3
JAKE
"Hey." Jake smiled as he walked into the kitchen at Kari's place. She was in a fluffy white sweater and a tight pair of jeans, her dark hair draped down her back. Every cell in his body lit on fire for the beautiful woman who turned and smiled shyly at him.
"There you are. I was worried that a bear might have gotten you." She turned fully around and slid her hands up his chest before locking them behind his head.
"Bears? You're crazy woman." He leaned down and brushed his lips by hers as he ran his hands down her back and pressed his fingers into the top of her rear.
"Crazy about you," she mumbled against his lips before licking at them.
He growled and went in for another long kiss. The groans of their friends were irrelevant. There was no way in hell he was hiding just how into her he was. No matter who was around.
"You sound like a bear. Hot." Lisa walked by them, and Jake pulled back and glanced over his shoulder at the saucy redhead.
"Speaking of animals. Ask Marc what he did for a couple of bucks at the tree farm." Laughter bubbled up in Jake's chest as Marc groaned loudly.
"Awww... man. Seriously right now?" Marc reached for Lisa, pulling her close. "Don't listen to him. I'm just adventurous, young at heart."
"What did you do?" Kari moved out of Jake's arms and put her hands on her hips.
Jake moved up behind her and wrapped his arms around her shoulders before leaning over and pressing his cheek against hers. "Yeah, Marc. Tell everyone what you did."
Drake walked in the kitchen, his dark eyebrow raised as he glanced around. "Oh nice. Are we telling on Marc?"
"Really?" Marc glanced around, and Jake couldn't help but chuckle harder.
"Do I want to know?" Lisa turned her attention to him and pressed herself to his chest.
He ran his hands down her back and smiled. "Nothing to even discuss, baby doll. Just a little bit of fun with the boys. Too bad they’re pussies and decided to tell on me."
"Pussies?" Drake tilted his head a little before glancing over at Jake. "You gotta football? I need a reason to tackle this fucker."
"Oh, it's on." Marc kissed Lisa on the nose and moved away from her. "Get the ball. You bitches are going down."
"Marc. Really?" Kari turned to face Jake as he moved back. "Don't hurt my brother."
"Hurt him? He's the all-star of the NYU basketball team. I'm probably about to have my ass handed to me. He probably works out all the time." Jake cupped her pretty face and leaned down to kiss her one more time. "Don't worry."
"Yeah, nothing to worry about." Lisa gave them a cheeky smile and moved to stand beside them. "Fucking isn't really a workout when you just lie there."
Drake snorted. "Poor Marc. We should give him a break."
"I agree. You guys are ganging up on him." Sicily made an appearance in the kitchen, the pretty baker having slimmed down a lot more than she should have. Jake couldn't help but wonder if Drake was disappointed in her losing her feminine figure over the last month. She was still a knockout, but she'd lost some of the innocent softness that made her Sicily.
"He's a big boy. Really big." Lisa bit her lip and gave Marc a sexy look.
