Im here now. Love me tender.

Janine
Janine thought about the whole situation. Did she lust for him or did she love Jason?
She thought about his lovemaking and his tongue and his beautiful cock. She also thought about his laugh and his jokes.
She went into the shower thinking about him
“Mmmmmph! Oh yes.. yes Jason, boy, you’re so good…” Janine cried as she played with her clit. She was getting wetter now. Her fingers slid to her love hole now, slowly and rhythmically diving into the pool. She shuddered as she delved deeper inside, her head full of the sensations that she had felt when Jason’s tongue was making love to her pussy.
Janine quickly opened the cabinet to bring out her vibrating dildo to reach the powerful climax building up inside her. She was so horny now and she just couldn’t wait to scratch this mad itch Jason’s memory had caused inside her. The dildo felt so good inside her. She hit the low button to get used to it before switching to the medium button. The vibrations were weakening her resolve to stand. She slowly sat down in front of the full-size mirror and looked at her aroused self, fucking the magical dildo. She had begun moaning as the vibrations were causing waves of ecstasy inside her. She finally came, shuddering at the powerful climax running through her.
She laughed as she came.
The warm streams of the water jet felt so good on her recently fucked pussy. It was turning her on even more now. The warm water felt like Jason’s hot tongue inside her pussy. Even though she had just had an orgasm, Janine found herself touching her breasts and raising the pressure on the water jet. She was loving the idea of getting multiple orgasms today.
She worked up a lather with her favorite strawberry- vanilla body wash and slathered it all over her gorgeous body. The warm water was washing away all the tension and the sores her body had been ravaged by, in the past few months. The fresh fragrance and the creamy texture of the body wash were very relaxing and she wanted to just sit under the jets for some more time.
She heard a loud knock on the door. She absentmindedly walked out in all her naked regalia.
He was there.
Janine. I’m not going back.
Love me tender
Epilogue
The show was about to start,
Presenting, Jason in Henrik Ibsen’s play!
Janine clapped as hard as he could. They were home. He was happy and she couldn't be happier. He was acting in theater, something he loved and making good money too. Life had never been better.
Never Let Go Series
Prologue
“So tell me about yourself?” Jared Coleman tries not to roll his eyes at his own statement. If there isn’t a cornier question to ask during a first date…
But there’s a reason that statement has stood the test of time – it’s effective. It’s the best way to get to know a person and in much less time.
Jared tips his head forward just a little bit and meets Maya’s eyes. He has to admit he can stare at her all day. With tanned skin, a pointed noise, and large doe-like eyes, she seems to be a mix of both Eastern and Western nationalities. He reminds himself to ask her about her parents after she gives her answer to the age old statement – ‘so tell me about yourself’.
“Well, I’m Marina Eloise Lauren Harrington,” she starts, and Jared has to give her a double take. That name is a mouthful. “But you can just call me Maya. My mother is Thai and my Father is American, but I was born and raised here…” She pauses for a moment, and just when Jared is about to say something, she speaks again and says, “I took up Education in university, and now, I’m a teacher. I teach pre-school, and I just have to say I love kids,” she gushes, her hazel brown eyes lighting up. “And you? What’s your story?”
Jared ponders on his answer for a few seconds. He’s been on numerous blind dates, and it’s always been the same answer. Growing up in the country, he joined the Navy once he graduated from college in-state. He felt limited and suffocated in his small town. It’s always the same routine, the same people, the same restaurants, the same everything. It’s the kind of place where everyone knows everyone, and everyone was expected to follow the same path – graduate from school, work, get married, start a family, and live happy ever after. Or not. Jared knew he couldn’t last in that kind of environment, so joining the Navy was the most obvious decision for him. What better way to get out of a small town than serve the country and go on dangerous deployments?
During his years of service, he climbed up the ranks, and then became a Navy SEAL. It was five years ago, when he turned thirty-five years old, that he decided to hang up his hat. Of course, he wasn’t going to go back to the small town where he grew up. No. And that’s when he made the move and called Black Creek his home. With his payout from the military, he became a venture capitalist. He invests in start-ups and provides direction and training on how to grow these companies
Jared ponders on the idea of relaying the exact same story to Maya. He’s already lost count of how many times he’s narrated his life story what with all the blind dates he’s had. And to no avail. He’s still meeting a different girl every other night in the hopes he’d meet his match.
Before Jared can narrate a different version of his life story to Maya, she opens her mouth to speak, and Jared is left glancing at the woman’s full-glass of water and wondering if she ever gets tired of talking.
“So how do you know Grant?” Maya then asks, her fingers grasping the handle of her fork as she twirls her salad in circles.
Grant is a mutual friend who is part of Jared’s tight-knit circle of friends. In that group, it seems like the men never run out of women. With good looks, a mysterious charm, and of course a bulky wallet, the group gets to collect and select their women; however, being in their late thirties and early forties, a few of them are in exclusive relationships and have settled down.
“I met him in the gym,” Maya then continues. “He looked like he knew what he was doing, so I asked him for help with the weights. Do you also work out a lot?” she asks, and then, “I try to go to the gym every morning, right before class. It’s impossible to go in the evenings since I usually have to go through the lesson plan for the next day and make worksheets. How about you? What do you do?”
Finally. Jared thinks when Maya keeps her lips closed for longer than three seconds. With all the questions she asked, he decides to just answer the last one. He hates to admit it, but he kind of dozed off in the middle of her speech.
“I’m a venture capitalist,” he starts, and then, “I-”
“You invest in companies, start-ups mostly, don’t you?” Maya asks instead. “I know Black Creek is becoming the next Silicon Valley with all the start-ups popping up in recent months.”
Jared tips his head into a nod.
“I dated someone like you before, an investor,” she starts. “He took me to a rooftop bar on our first date. Men do that to try and impress us…”
“Did I impress you then?” Jared asks, tipping his lips up into a cunning smirk. They aren’t in a penthouse or a pool deck overlooking the city, but the steak and wine dinner is sure to leave an impression just as positive as a rooftop date.
“Of course,” Maya says, leaning her torso forward across the table. Jared tries not to bite his bottom lip at the sight of her cleavage. The woman sure knows how to use her gifts to her advantage. “Even though I can’t tell the difference between the wines…the steak is still amazing.”
A couple of hours pass before they finish the steak and then desert – crème brulee. After Jared covers the bill, they walk down a flight of stairs and out of the door with the cool, night wind brushing against their skin.
“Let me take you home…” Jared says, when his car pulls up in front of them.
“What?” Maya then asks. “No drinks? This bar has a promo...it’s just down the block…”
Jared lets out a light chuckle and shakes his head as his arm goes around her waist.
Then, he rests a hand on Maya’s hip to steady her. “I think you’ve had enough.” She stumbles a bit as she enters the car, before Jared scoots inside and sits beside her. After Maya gives the chauffeur her address, the car starts moving, and their date officially ends with a quick peck on the lips.
“Call me,” Maya says with a small grin. They’re standing by the front door of her apartment building with Jared standing on the step below.
He gives her a small nod, almost invisible, before he gives her a salute. “Goodnight, Maya. I had fun tonight.”
Then, he turns around and walks back to his car. Once inside, he fishes his phone out from the pocket of his dark jeans and gets to answering a few unread messages and emails.
‘So are you going to thank me or what?’ reads a message from Grant. Jared pulls the edges of his lips into a smirk before he types up a reply, his fingers flying over the screen.
‘Dude, very hot but talks too much.’
A few seconds later, and there’s a beep coming from his phone.
‘Then you should’ve put that mouth of hers to better use. Instead of replying to me.’
At that, Jared can’t help but shake his head and bark out a laugh. He knows what Grant’s insinuating. He thought about it a while ago – bringing her home to his place or inviting himself into hers – but then decided against it. He’d rather not take the risk of a talker in the bedroom…no matter how great her mouth is.
There may not be a second date, but Jared, during the ride home, can’t help the grin threatening to surface on his face.
Chapter 1
“I keep telling you to get with the program. There’s no better way to meet a woman than through online dating,” Laura Harmon says, as she turns around to look at the two men, Alex and Nate, by the grill in charge of prepping their dinner for the night. Thank god they haven’t set anything on fire…yet.
Alex and Nate are two of Jared’s closest of friends. They’re in the same group of friends Grant, the ultimate matchmaker, is in. Alex and Nate are also two of the men in the bunch who have decided to grow up and enter an exclusive relationship with Laura. It’s complicated, their situation, and Jared doesn’t even really comprehend it – Laura exclusively dating both Alex and Nate – but he’s not going to judge. They’re all old enough to make their own decisions.
“I honestly don’t get why you have to pay a fee to make an account for these dating websites,” answers Jared, as he reaches for the cooler and hands a beer to Laura. He takes a long swig of his own before he says, “You’re already going to be paying for the first date…and women nowadays expect a lot. So why do we have to pay a fee just to talk to women online?”
Laura can’t help but roll her eyes. Men. Jared doesn’t miss the way she furrows her eyebrows together, bites her bottom lip, and then opens her mouth to speak. She props her hands on each side of her waist, ready to go on defensive mode. As the CEO of Love in the Net, the biggest and fastest growing online dating company, she has a lot to say to Jared.
“Supply and demand, my friend,” she starts, clapping a hand on his shoulder. “People will pay as long as they want what the company’s offering. And besides, the fees are to maintain the website and the backend operations, labor, coding, research and development, testing, marketing, and the list goes on. We also trial and test our algorithms to ensure their effectiveness.” Laura gives Jared a nudge on the waist. “You should know these things, being a VC and all.”
“You know the dating industry is not my expertise,” answers Jared with a smirk. “Maybe you’re right though since I’m not getting anywhere with the blind dates.”
Jared is caught off guard when Laura elicits a heavy sigh. Then, she rolls her eyes and crosses her arms against her chest.
“Fine…sign up for Love in the Net, pay the fees for a premium account…” Here, she takes a deep breath. “And if you don’t find anyone girlfriend material after six months, I’ll refund you. Even better, you earn bragging rights to tell me ‘I told you so’.”
“Perks of having the CEO as your friend?” Jared teases, and Laura can only roll her eyes and nod her head.
It was over half a year ago when Laura took the helm and became the Chief Executive Office of Love in the Net. After a few complications – read, the previous CEO abducting Laura who was already an employee – Nate and Alex bought out the company and hired Laura. With Laura’s experience in the industry and the company itself, it was understood she was a good fit for the position. Now, Love in the Net continues to grow, despite it already having the largest market share.
“So what do you say?” Laura then asks, with a smirk playing on her lips. “You have to admit it’s an offer you can’t refuse, and besides, why not support Alex and Nate’s business by making an account?”
It takes a few seconds before Jared answers, but in reality, there’s really nothing else to think about.
“Sign me up,” he says, handing his phone to her. “Show me what to do.”
Laura then takes Jared’s phone and downloads the app into his phone. Once the app is on his screen, Laura registers an account for him, and after a few clicks and answering a page of questions, Jared Harrison’s profile is up and running.
“So this is where you’ll find your matches…” Laura says, showing Jared the ins and outs of the app. The app has a streamline design with a red and white color palette. Simple and modern – it’s one of the app’s strengths. Laura has been receiving numerous reviews about how both the app and desktop versions are very easy to navigate. “This tab is where you’ll find the rankings for ‘Premium Lovers’…”
“Say what?” Jared asks, cocking an eyebrow up in disbelief. Is that really a legitimate term? Premium lovers?
“They’re the most eligible bachelors and bachelorettes on the platform,” Laura starts, rolling her eyes for the nth time at him. “I used to be the top placer, you know.” She can’t help but add a wink to that.
“Until you met those two?” Jared teases, pulling a face as he turns to look at Nate and Alex, who’s walking towards them with platters full of food in hand. “Hope you can still get a refund with those two…”
But before he can carry on with the jab, Alex and Nate are right in front of them and are looking at Jared and Laura suspiciously.
“Was he just badmouthing us?” Alex asks, looking at Laura before shifting his glance to Jared, who has his hands up in the air in a surrender gesture.
“He was about to,” Laura says in reply, complementing that with a laugh. “Congratulate him, guys…he’s officially a Love in the Net member!”
“About time, man,” Alex says, slapping a hand on the man’s back. “Grant told me about your date with the teacher.”
“Is that the one who talked too much?” Nate puts in, to which Jared nods his head.
“Who talks during a date, anyway?” Alex asks rhetorically. “You should’ve just skipped dinner and bang-”
“Says the one who had dinner with a girl and brought his friend along…” There’s no missing the glance Jared sneaks in the direction of Nate and Laura. He very much knows about the history of the three. Nate and Alex booked Laura through the Love in the Net platform with the hopes of getting her exclusively, but a technical glitch caused Laura to be double-booked. And the rest, as they say, is history. “Didn’t you three go on a date together?”
“Yes,” Laura answers proudly. “And there’s nothing wrong with that.”
“How is that even possible?” Jared asks and then retracts his question. “Never mind. I think it’s better if I don’t know.” Then his eyes fall on the food right in front of them. There’s no missing the oil pooling on the edges of the meats and the smell of cholesterol wafting through the air. “What are we waiting for? Let’s fucking eat.”
And eat they do. When they finish all the beer in the cooler and all the steaks, ribs, and hotdogs on the grill, Alex, Nate, and Jared want nothing more than to burn off everything they ate.
“I don’t think
I can walk, guys,” Nate says, as Laura takes his plate and then the others’ to bring inside the apartment to wash. “What we ate can probably feed a party of fifty.”
“But those fifty don’t have the stamina we do,” Jared replies, wiggling his eyebrows up and down.
“That sounds so sexual…” then says Nate, pulling a corner of his lips downwards into a grimace.
“Come on, then,” Alex says, pulling at Nate’s arm and forcing him to sit up. “It’s almost midnight.”
“The trail should be empty.”
And with that, Nate has no choice but to stand up and join Alex and Jared. They give Laura a quick ‘goodbye’ before they take Alex’s truck out and drive to the nearby mountain. It’s a quick drive, but it offers one of the best hiking trails in the region. Nate, Alex, and Jared come out here on a weekly basis when Black Creek’s downtown gets a little too noisy and they want some privacy. Grant and a few of their other friends don’t go not because they don’t want to, but because they can’t…
