At the age of twenty-one, Parker Reede pledged his life to his country. The United States Army was his family. His home. His new life.

And now, at twenty-six, he drowns his nightmares and sorrows with whiskey, numbing away the pain. Loneliness and sorrow are all he has. No hope. No faith.
His heart – filled with hate, anger, and despair. It no longer beats for friendship, for family, or for love. Instead, it’s frozen in a shell of dark void.
Unable to escape the past and fearful of the future.
Until Lane Boisse literally crashes into his life and changes everything.

*PART 1* The Wild Adventures of Jessie and the Cable Guy
Told you all I would write it, didn’t I?! Hehe hope you enjoy!
The Wild Adventures of Jessie and the Cable Guy
(An Erotic Short Story by J.L. Baldwin)
COPYRIGHT © 2016 J.L. BALDWIN
Part 1
“That would be perfect, thank you. See you at five this evening.” I hung up the phone from the cable company. They pulled their usual, “we’ll be there between twelve and five bullshit” which didn’t sit well with me. I rolled my eyes at the operator who was organizing the appointment. Surely she has had this problem before and has experience in dealing with customers who were frustrated with that nonsense. As politely as I could, I hung up the phone and proceeded to hunt for Pokemon. This game has become the epidemic the government was afraid of. Brain dead zombies, hell bent on taking over the world. I was afraid to say I was one of those zombies. Ugh, figures, right?
The air conditioning was cranking at full speed when I stood up and decided to walk around my yard in search for Pikachu. That little bastard was difficult to find and he was getting harder and harder to track down.
“Mom, I’m going outside and look for Pokemon!” I shouted back upstairs. She yelled something I couldn’t make out then I walked outside. Nearby Pokemon littered my back yard but no Pikachu. I searched high and low, but nothing. I caught many others and after about an hour, I trotted back inside. The cool air hits my face, relaxing me instantly. I never get tired of walking into an air conditioned house after being out in the scorching heat.
My mom walked downstairs, playing something on her phone.
“Don’t tell me you’ve developed the craze too? I didn’t see that coming.” I said amusingly.
“I’m not. I’m still playing the latest crazy, Candy Crush Saga.” She said, as I hear the sound of candy being crushed then triumphant music playing.
“Yeah, yeah. Maybe eventually you’ll jump into this one. And spend your time hunting down Pokemon like the rest of us.” I said, smiling. I know jumping into this wasn’t her style, but maybe something miraculous will happen.
“Just don’t walk into the street in front of a car like the rest of those stupid asses out there.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t. I’m smarter than that.” I say proudly, standing in a superman pose like I was on top of the world. Maybe I was. I sure as hell felt like it.
“Anyways, I have to run some errands for a little while so I should be gone for a few hours. Would you like to go with me?”
Shaking my head, I pick up my laptop, “I can’t. I have a ton of writing I need to do and I’m on a deadline. No rest for the wicked, I say.” Mom smiles but shakes her head anyways. She knows how much I’m passionate about my writing and how much I want to be a professional writer someday. Hopefully, that day comes sooner rather than later.
My laptop is all set up at the kitchen table, with my notesbooks, index cards and all that lovely shit that makes me feel organized and my life together. I don’t want to confuse anyone to think I actually do have my life together, it’s nice to fake it once in a while. Insert the “that’s what she said” joke here. I try to stifle a laugh at my inappropriate joke. No, I don’t. I let out a small giggle because fuck you, that shit was funny.
Mom comes back from gathering her things and it makes me smile, seeing her all happy and cheerful. Going to the store is her relaxing time just like being in front of the computer is mine. Not to mention the multiple trips to pornhub, but that’s for another day. Don’t act so shocked.
“Okay, so I’ll be back around five or six. Are you sure you’ll be fine when the cable man comes and hooks up the cable? Remember what happened last time with the electrician.” Okay, one time that happened and he didn’t even file sexual assault charges. In my defense, he came on to me. So if you ask me, he liked it. I definitely gave him a little extra ‘spark’ if you know what I mean.
“It will be fine, mom. Don’t worry so much. Damn, he was a jerk. Too bad his come tasted like candy. I can remember the first time he walked into my house.
“Hello, I’m Isaac with Apple Valley Electric. There seems to be a problem with your breaker, according to my records and I need to check it out. Where is your breaker box located?” I’ve barely heard a word he said over the sound of my own pounding heart beating out of my chest. To say he was gorgeous was a complete and utter understatement. Kit Harrington is gorgeous. This man was a god. He towered over my five foot nothing frame and must have measured at least six foot. My neck strained from looking up into his eyes, he’s that tall.
“Miss? Is there something wrong?” He asks me. I shake my head to clear the inappropriate thoughts that have clearly taken root inside my brain.
“Everything is fine. The basement is down the hall, second door to the right. Would you like me to show you?” I gesture down the hallway, towards the basement. Isaac smiles a megawatt smile but shakes his head politely.
“No thanks. I can find it.” Isaac actually winks at me. There I stand, looking like hell in my author bun and baggy clothes, on the larger side of the scale, and he looked at me like I was a Victoria’s Secret model. Oh, happy days! Isaac walked past me to head towards the basement and god damn it all, his cologne hit my nostrils and made fireworks shoot off. I swear, I tried my damnedest not to groan out loud. It was hard, but I refrained.
Once he was in the basement, I kept a close eye on the door, hoping he will come up sooner or later. A half hour went by. Then an hour. Finally, I gave up on waiting for him and decided to walk downstairs. What I found, I’ll never forget. His lard callused hand was wrapped around his erect shaft, pumping vigorously up and down at the speed of light. Holy shit.
“Umm…need some help with that?” I purred. Seductive talk wasn’t my style, but when in Rome and all that shit.
His eyes snapped open at the sound of my voice. “Get the fuck over here. I’ve been down here for an hour, and I’ve gotten off three times by only looking at your sexy self. I need your lips wrapped around my cock.”
I smirk. If this goes well, he will leave here extremely happy. If not, well then, he will be highly disappointed. I saunter over to where Isaacis standing and his hands are still wrapped around his cock. “Take it into your mouth.” He demands. God, why do those words turn me on so much?
“As you wish.” I take a step forward and start to wrap my fingers around first, but he grabs my hand to stop me. My bottom lip darts out in a pouting manner.
“I said, your fucking mouth, wench.” What the fuck is this? The fourteenth century? Since when does wench used to describe a woman? Shrugging, I lean down onto my knees. The cold, damp floor of the basement does nothing to lower my arousal. The tip of his large, throbbing shaft rubs against my lips, and instinctively, my tongue darts out to lick it. A tiny drop of pre-cum coats my tongue and the taste is electrifying. I need more. Isaacmust see it too because he slips the tip into my mouth, past my tongue and bottoms out in the back of my throat. I’m very surprised I can fit him all, but I do.
My throat contracts around his cock and I gag a little, but quickly accommodate him. “Mmmm…that’s it. Take it all like the slutty little whore you are. You aren’t like my other clients. They won’t suck my cock like you will.” I moan around his dick. Once I’m fully adjusted, my head bobs up and down and I bring my hands up to wrap around the base, doubling the action of using my hands and mouth to bring him pleasure.
“Fuck, Jess. God damn. You’re doing a good job, baby.” Isaacgrabs the back of my head and helps my motions on his cock. I can feel him swell inside my mouth so I know he’s close.
“I’m gonna come. Do you want me to come in your mouth, sweet girl?” My eyes travel up his stomach, where I see his shirt is unbuttoned and washboard abs are hidden beneath his work shirt. Fuck, yeah I hit the motherload. I want to do a fist pump in the air, but my hands are currently filled with cock so I’ll wait.
Pulling my mouth back out, I lick the tip softly then bite down gently on the tip, making him hiss, “fuck, do that again.”
“Come in my mouth. I want your come.” I beg. I was a fucking come whore and damn proud of it. Life is too short to be a prude, so be a whore. More fun and all that shit.
One final animal grunt, and he’s shooting his load into my mouth. Jet after jet of hot come fills my mouth and like the good little cum hungry whore I am, swallowed every bit of it. Fuck, he tasted good. Greedily, I wished like hell he would come again so I could have some more. What can I say? I was starving for some cock.
“No more, you’ve drained me dry you little whore.” Isaac tucks his cock back into his jeans then turns away from me, closing the breaker box.
“Your box is fixed, and is back up and running.” Before I can say something, he picks up his tool box and starts to walk off.
“Wait!” I call after him, jogging over towards him before he takes the first steps up toward the house. “What about me?”
Isaac turns toward me and smiles. “You, my little come whore, can watch me walk away, because the next time you see me, you’ll be on your back.”
With that finality, he walked up the stairs and out of my life. I never saw Isaac again. I called the electricians to see if he still worked there but nothing. Absolutely nothing.
I swore right then and there, I would never let something like that happen again.
Maybe I should rethink that now.

#SaSS2016 Highlights
Well. I don’t know how, or why I got so blessed to have hung out with as many wonderful people as I did, but gosh darn it, I love every second of it! I didn’t even realize when I hit publish back in December that I would have the opportunities I have now. It has truly been a blessing to be able to call all these wonderful people my friends!
Here are just some highlights of the Sexy and Sassy Signing in Norfolk, Virginia this past weekend! I truly cannot put into words how much fun this weekend has been. I can’t wait to go next year and the year after that and so on and so forth!❤

Bound by Trust Update!
Okay, just so everyone is aware, I haven’t forgotten about book 2. It is in the works and it’s coming together slowly, but it’s coming together. I don’t know if it’s writer’s block, a sense of disconnection with the characters or what but I’m working on it.
I’m always looking for suggestions to help beat writers block so if anybody has any ideas? That would be splendid. :)
Maybe there’s something deep down that’s stopping me from getting on with book 2 but I promise, it will be done by the end of spring at the latest. There’s a lot going on in book 2 that I’m trying to piece together myself and as much as I want to push forward and just finish, I know I can’t. It has to take it’s precious little time.
Take care
xoxo J.L. Baldwin
