"Parker smiled, yawned, observed him through a veil of eyelashes. "Mm, I haven't seen that expression on a man's face in ages. I'm legal," she reminded with a chuckle. "You don't have to look so worried."   "I don't?"   "You do realize that I've had sex before?"   "Not with me you haven't," he reminded softly- as if she needed to be reminded" And then this ""my technique is guaranteed to melt the tension. If you'll just disrobe and lie on the bed-" "Your technique is guaranteed to get you laid. I'm twice as persuasive when I'm naked." "I'm a professional." "Aren't we all," she quipped. "Trust me," he said. "I've done this before." "Mm, not with me you haven't."

LOVE! I love this series.

Can you let Miss Parker kill the bad asshole. I hate people like Whitman.

I had to go back and start over and I'm so glad I did because I read so fast that I missed loads of pretender deliciousness. I love how much all the characters ARE the characters. They are exactly as they should be. Wow. I'm impressed.

The countdown in Jarod's mind lol. The poor baby I do feel sorry for him. You're bringing them together in a plausible way and I don't know how you do it. Keep doing it please.

I think Jarod is doing the same with Parker that he does with Cate re the storm. Parker does things in her own time. So many feels Mirage.

I won't be held responsible for busting up the merry band; Yoko I am not.

lol. That's our Parker.

Wow. That ending woman. That beginning!!! Im so addicted.

This was unexpected and perfect. You know we all want only Jarod and Miss Parker stories but I know how well you write and I will try this. So far I'm intrigued. Never cared much for the old guy. It's all about Jarod and Miss Parker for me. You write them all so well though even Sydney is the way he is on the series tv. I'm interested to see where you take this. Very enthralling beginning and really scary.

Will never be able to get the image of Jarod shoving a gun into Lyle's mouth and down this throat from my mind. You've done it again precious author. I have one complaint. The chapter was too damn short. lol. I'm stupid. More, please?

I needed like an entire minute to sit and process that one. Very intense and powerful writing Mirage. Your command of the language and these characters is impressive as hell. The intensity between Lyle and Parker stunned me. She is not suicidal. She was testing him I think and showing him she isn't scared. I think she wants him to fight. She's a ballsy woman, has always been. But I'm still on the edge of my seat with my bottom jaw on table here. You remind us all of Jarod's creepiness and even I feel his eyes on them from here but I hope he isn't watching. I want him to move forward with Parker and I don't know how she can do that feeling this freaked out by him. I'm freaked out by him too and now when I watch an episode I always, say, "yep, Mirage was right. He's being stalky and weird." I didn't see it when I was younger. But it was right in my face the entire time. I thought he was good and the others were all bad. Now I think Jarod is kind of bad. Like Dexter and Lucifer in some ways. I need more of this either way. You're like crack cocaine and meth and oxy. But more addictive.

Ooooh uhuh! Honey honey honey! I love this. I want to read what happened in the other story that lead to Jarod stepping in and breaking nothing. LOVE.

HOT! uhhhh! I haven't been here in a while but dear goddesses I'm glad I checked to see if you were here and you here with a brilliant story. I love all of it and I want more LIKE NOW. Write!! Hurry.

*command of the language .

I saw that right after I clicked submit that I spelled command comman... ffferk.

Ohh, I wasn't expecting something like this from you. It's plausible and fast paced. He really should have been handcuffed more on the series and had these brushes with cops.
