Page 385 of The Parkers' Handsome Holiday
"Stop it. You're embarrassing me." Her expression softened. "Your Aunt Katie thought he was dreamy, and she's a few years younger than me."
"Nice." Kari clapped her hands. She couldn't wait to tell Marc, though he would probably be a harder judge for Charles. Men always were rougher on each other.
"Okay. I'll invite him if you think Jake would be okay with that."
"He would prefer it. He's going to be my husband one day. Taking care of you is part of the deal." She gripped her mom’s free hand, loving the moment of peace she found in the busyness all around them.
"I like the sound of that." Her mom put the phone to her ear and a huge smile lifted her lips as she spoke again. "Charles?"
Kari held back the girly giggle that pressed against her teeth. Her mom was falling in love. Her Christmas wish was already starting to come true.

"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 his lips over her nipple before pulling it into the warmth of his mouth.
He could make love to her a million times, and each time would somehow seem better than the last.
She reached down to run her fingers through his hair before undulating her hips a little. "Take your boxers off. I want to feel you against me."
"So bossy." He licked at her other breast while he worked to get his underwear off. "You sure we should be doing this in your mother's house?"
"Good grief." She urged him to move back up and rolled them over, almost flipping them off the edge of the bed. Her yelp had him laughing, which wasn't sexy in the slightest.
"God, I love you, woman." He gripped her hips as she sat up and picked her up a little.
She pressed her hands into his strong chest and arched her back, pressing down slowly as the world melted away. They were going to be a lot of things together over the years, but she didn't care about any of it, as long as they were together.
He ran his hands down her back, massaging her as she made love to him slowly, working him in long stokes.
"So tight, Kari. When is the last time we made love, baby?" He pressed his mouth to the side of her neck and grunted softly against her.
"It's been awhile." She pressed her elbows into the bed and leaned down to adore his lips with sensual kisses. "Let's make up for it over the next week."
"Act like Marc and Lisa?" He smiled before kissing her again.
Electricity bubbled deep inside of her as she forced herself back a little faster, taking him deep inside of her body. "Please?" She closed her eyes and moved down to press her forehead against his chest.
He popped her ass hard and growled as she bucked against him. "I should talk dirty to you, no?"
"Yes," she murmured as her orgasm hit, the deliciousness of it drowning her.
Jake pressed his mouth to the side of her ear and rolled them over. "I'm going to fuck you again until you erupt all over me. Make it good. Nice and wet. Okay, baby doll?"
She groaned and wrapped her arms and legs around him, not so sure she was capable of withstanding her good boy acting bad at all.
