Lisa Kleypas Read Online Novels & Stories

**** Lisa's feet slowly touched the marble floor as Kallias released her. She stumbled back a single step before regaining her balance. His chest rose and fell violently. Every instinct screamed at him to leave. To find Adriana. Yet another part of him demanded answers from the woman standing before him. Lisa calmly adjusted the collar of her gown. She neither rubbed her neck nor complained about the bruises beginning to bloom beneath his fingers. Instead, she met his burning gaze without fear. "You should leave," Kallias growled. Lisa tilted her head. "If I leave now, your beasts will only suffer more."

“Riley’s great. Chaos gremlin. Loves true crime and bad decisions. Already planning our first party. She’s my new favorite person.” “High praise.” “She is.” I paused, sipped my latte. “But… there’s this girl. Lisa.” Elias leaned forward. “Go on.” I sighed. “Riley’s best friend. Walks like she owns the sidewalk. Hair perfect. Makeup perfect. Body like she was carved by angry gods who hate the rest of us. I stared. Like full-on stared. And she just… ohh’d at me. Like I was a mildly interesting bug. Then called me an arrogant bitch when I left.”

I paged through the book and began noting the church leaders' names in order of who I would assault first. "Dr Chucks" "Mr Kinsley" the minister, Leonard "Jeremiah, the pastor" Benedict the "pastor I put the paper with the list of goods inside the book I wrote the names in and shoved it beneath my cushion. I took out the dresses I'll be wearing today when I opened my wardrobe. I took out a miniskirt, white panties, a crop top, and a minijacket all at once. Yesterday, I asked about Dr Chuks during the sermon.

I replied. "Who is this beauty beside you?" She asked. Lisa smiled and said, "Hi Granny, my name is Lisa and I am Clay's girlfriend." "Girlfriend? Wow, wow, isn't this amazing?" She asked, smiling. "It seems my two warriors are going to get married anytime soon. I can't wait to have great-grandchildren. Lisa, you're so beautiful. You know, I'm not surprised though, my boys have very good eyes. I mean, look at you, look at Mia. You two are like the most beautiful girls I've ever met in my entire life and you're going to become my daughters, that's so amazing."

"I thought so too, once." She encountered Lysa in the library that afternoon. Lysa was exactly as the novel had described: tall, with the direct quality of someone who had grown up somewhere that required directness, hair that had been tied back with the efficiency of someone who regarded it as a practical matter rather than an aesthetic one. She was at the reference section, looking at it with the expression Clara had come to recognize as someone who had encountered something significantly below their actual level and was deciding how to handle that tactfully.

Clara must’ve said something funny because Lisa laughed—a soft, honeyed sound that made my heart clench. I leaned against the doorframe, watching her as she prepared. She changed into a black leather skirt—short, tight, and criminal. It hugged her hips and delicious ass in a way that made my cock twitch instantly. Her white, off-shoulder tank top clung to her perfect breasts, showing just enough cleavage to be sinful. She tied her hair into a high bun, sleek and tight, exposing her creamy neck. Then came the knee-length leather boots, her smooth thighs left bare and tempting.

"Hey Lisa. Remember you are talking to Kayden Jacobs, the only guy on planet earth who can read you like a book. Now, I do not mean that literally, but I know you are lying, and that something is definitely wrong with you." God knows I tried to keep my voice as funny as I could. It takes a moment, but I see Lisa smile again. She shrugs. "Well, I agree with you Kayden. Something is definitely wrong with me, but I don't think you can help me." "Why?" I ask, feeling sober all of a sudden. She stares at me for a long time. A very long time. And I find myself asking myself why. Her eyes move down to my lips. I gulp in a breath, swallowing hard and feeling like I just got punched in the stomach.

"Just curious." I smiled, "Curious? Or are you jealous?" Appalled by the fact that I had read her like a book, Lisa broke away from my hands and backed away. "Jealous? Why would I be jealous?!" She asked in a frantic tone. "So you're just curious then, is it?" I returned, eager to hear her next reply. "Yes!" Lisa was quick. "She's a new customer, of course I want to know more about her." She was quick with her lies, and I had to confess that I was impressed.

Lisa explains. Feeling a cold sweat run down my back, I watch as Lisa takes a key from the neckline of her beautiful dress, a small key that looks like a safe key. "I can't leave my purse so uncovered, if someone steals it or takes my agenda, they will know transcendental things about the company, I have to be careful with those things" Lisa excuses, noticing the disappointment and desperation we all feel.

"Lily, since you're carrying a pup, your skin must be dry and itchy. I asked the healer for a recipe and whipped up a soothing herbal clay for you. Just rub it all over your body. It'll smooth your skin and help you relax." I frowned, already set on saying no. We were never that close, definitely not enough for me to let her lay a hand on me. "Lily, do you not like the clay I made?" Lisa's eyes went glassy right away. She looked over at Rex, her voice sounding hurt. "Rex, I know you care about Lily, but I promise I don't mean anything by it. If she doesn't want it, I'll throw it out right now." Rex reached out and gently ran a hand through my hair. His voice was soft as he said, "Lisa made i
