side. She was a very pretty young lady, with a very alluring slender body. But she was as fake to Jake as a nine-dollar bill.
He wondered if the cousin was just as obvious when she finally stepped out of the passenger side. He was putting on his suit coat when she stepped out, but as soon as he saw her, all of his movement stopped. For she was nothing, not anything at all, like he had expected.
She wore a very nice blue dress that crisscrossed at her very ample breasts and hung just above the knees of her very shapely legs. And unlike her cousin Kara, there was nothing small about this girl. She was all woman , voluptuous and curvaceous. He had expected a Kara clone: tall, thin, pretty. That kind of woman, after all, was what everybody, including his own children, thought he liked. But what he really liked, and did all he could to stay away from because he liked them, was curves. And this woman had them in all the right places.
He continued putting on his suit coat as he watched Kara and her cousin make their way up the steps to his front door. Or, rather, he continued to watch the cousin make her way up those steps. And that ass of hers, so tight and full, made his dick throb just watching her on screen. He could only imagine what that joystick of his was going to do when he got her in his bed. Which kind of thrilled him. He hadn’t been aroused like this by the mere sight of a woman in a very long time.
But he knew he had to shut it down now. That woman, like every woman he’d ever had anything to do with, was just looking for a gravy train. An easy ride. A sugar daddy. But she could forget that notion. She was getting no sugar from him.
Yet, he couldn’t take his eyes off of her. . .

Roni sat on the sofa beside Kara with a fixed smile on her face. Aubrey was nice as usual, and every time Roni was around him she understood why she admired him so. For a young man to shun the offers of all of those Ivy League Colleges that recruited him heavily, and attend a smaller, historically black and academically superb school like Florida Memorial University in Miami Gardens, was saying something to her. That was how he met Kara in the first place. On the campus of FMU. Kara would tell her all about it. While the other girls were trying to win Aubrey’s attention, she was trying to win his heart. “I was light years ahead of those skanky girls,” Kara used to boast.
And apparently she was right, Roni thought, as she looked at her cousin. Kara and Aubrey became fast friends and, when they graduated, Aubrey continued to look out for her. He gave her a job when she didn’t have the contacts to break into the Miami-Dade teaching system. Not that Kara tried very hard to break through, Roni would also admit, but Aubrey didn’t have to offer her anything.
But he was definitely a man who marched to the beat of his own drum, and Roni could easily see why his father put so much responsibility on the shoulders of a guy his age.
And tonight was no different. Aubrey treated her, as he treated all women, with nothing but respect. He even sat there and listened with rapt attention as Kara went on and on about some gossip she’d heard on the job when he obviously had more important things he could be doing. But he sat there like a trooper and endured it all.
Pam was also there that night, and she was her usual bubbly self. Druce Lincoln, however, was a new face to Roni, although she’d heard Pam and Kara talking about him. And when they were introduced she could see why Pam was so over-the-moon in love with him. With his big laugh and outgoing personality , he was certainly a charmer. But all of the pleasantries of five people sitting around the living room of the beautiful, Varnadore home was muted when Jake Varnadore himself came bounding down the stairs.
