Page 400 of The Parkers' Handsome Holiday
He glanced down as a wicked smile raced across his mouth. "Keep pressing your breasts to me like that, and we won't be in the back of the church, but in the back of the car."
"Necking?" She smiled and tugged him toward the side of the church, putting some distance between them, which was needed. He was quickly getting turned on just by her nearness. The woman had too much power over him.
He laughed and pulled her toward him to help her avoid a hole in the ground she didn't see. They hopped up on the back porch and Jake ran his hands down her arms.
"I'm going to go shake hands with the old guys at the end of the porch. Call your mom and tell her I said hi." He bent down and kissed her once before walking toward the pillar of smoke coming up from the far side of the porch. It was the designated smoking section of the church, and there were a handful of guys taking advantage of it.
"Jake Isaac. How are you, son?" One of the older guys turned and extended his hand. "You still up in New England, son?"
"A Yankee now, hm, boy?" Another one moved in for his handshake.
"Not sure you can take the country out of the boy, Mr. Jackson." Jake shook hands as the guys gave him hell. He shot the shit with them for a few minutes until Kari moved toward him.
"Who's this pretty thing?" Mr. Jackson moved up and extended his hand. "Please don't tell me you're dating this rascal."
"I am." Kari smirked and shook the older man's hand. "He's quite the catch."
The guys laughed, and Jake shook his head, trying to ignore the heat of embarrassment rising in his chest.
"That he is. He's a good boy. All the Isaac kids are." The older man reached up and patted Jake on the chest. "Get in there before your mom sends your dad looking for you."
"I'm not ten anymore, Mr. Jackson." Jake laughed and wrapped his arm around Kari before turning them to walk into the church.
The old guys dove into stories from when Jake was ten as they walked off. It would quickly turn into how old everyone was getting and how the world was going to hell in a hand-basket. Then the weather.
Nothing had changed.
He pressed his hand to the small of Kari's back as they walked into the church. "We're going to have to say hi to a million people. Just get ready."
"I don't mind." She lifted her chin and smiled back at him. "I like this. A lot."
"Oh, yeah? You're the only one." He caught eyes with Landon, who was entertaining a group of women around Mom's age. He had a smile that was contagious. Why him and Jessica weren't together was a complete mystery. They were made for each other, but good luck trying to get either of them past the hurdle of opening up about their feelings for each other.
He was missing out - big time. Jake made a mental note to talk to him about it again before the holidays were over. His brother deserved happiness, not the shallow whorish relationships he kept diving into over and over and over again.
CHAPTER 14
KARI
Kari woke before the sun rose the next morning. She stretched and reached for Jake, wrapping herself around him in the dark. They had on pjs, which sucked, but seemed necessary for sleeping over at his mom's house.
He pulled her on top of him and kissed her a few times before running his strong hands down her back and massaging her rear. "Make love to me."
She moaned and sat up to pull her shirt off. His hands were all over her before she could toss the thing back to the ground. Morning sex had to be the best. Everything was warm and snuggly.
"God, you feel good," she whispered roughly and rolled her hips, rubbing herself against him.
"Shorts off," he barked, his voice thick with sleep.
"So bossy." She got up and walked toward the window, opening the curtains before pulling her shorts over her legs.
"I'm a coach. We coach people. It's part of the job." He worked himself out of his shorts and reached for her as she moved to the edge of the bed. "So beautiful, Kari."
"I'm all yours." She climbed back into the bed and yelped as he turned them and pressed his thick chest to hers, his mouth just below her breasts.
"You always will be." He moved down between her thighs, his lips soft, tongue warm and wet as he teased her. "Merry Christmas, baby."
"Merry Christmas." She groaned as he pressed his mouth to her center and pulled her legs up a little to give him better access. Pleasure raced across her nerve endings, warmth filling every part of her.
