A Little Harmless Lie 4 Read Online Free PDF

shown up before now.”
    He didn’t say anything for a few moments, and she looked up from pulling a beer.
    “Might be I don’t like to be someplace where I might see my sister naked.”
    A laugh bubbled up at the pained expression on his face. “Brothers are always squeamish about their sisters.”
    The moment she said it, she regretted it. His gaze caught hers and she saw the interest, the speculation. She had been so careful not to reveal any information about her family.
    “Brothers?”
    She nodded.
    “How many?” She hesitated and he shook his head. “Never mind.”
    She sighed. “I just don’t like talking about my family. I had a... disagreement with them years ago. We don’t talk.”
    “It’s odd for me to even imagine that with my crazy family.”
    Keisha came up and smiled at Kai. “Hey, Kai. What have you been up to, bra?”
    Dee took Keisha’s order and listened to the two of them chat. It was easy to forget just how well everyone knew each other on Oahu. It was like one big little town.
    “Don’t be a stranger,” she said, as she hefted her tray and walked away. Kai watched, his gaze zeroing on her ass.
    He must have felt Dee’s attention because he glanced over at her and had the decency to flush.
    “Talking me up and then watching another woman.” She tsked. “I’d hate to see what May would make of this.”
    Kai smiled. “My sister knows I’m like that. If I thought I had a chance with you, I wouldn’t look at another woman, but I don’t think I do.”
    She said nothing, just crossed her arms beneath her breasts.
    “And secondly, Keisha and I go way back.”
    She arched an eyebrow. “How far?”
    He pursed his lips. “Eleventh grade, prom.”
    She leaned against her bar and watched his gaze go back to Keisha. The relationship her friend had been in had been... well, bad. The guy hadn’t been too happy when she’d ended it, which had resulted in Dee having to threaten the asshole when he’d had the stupidity to show up at her place looking for Keisha. Those self- defense moves had come in handy, and he had left with a broken nose and talking in a higher octave.
    Keisha needed an easy relationship with no complications. Kai was a good guy. He slept around a bit, but she didn’t know a lot of men who didn’t. A girl who had two brothers knew what men were about. But unlike a lot of other guys, Kai was decent. He never hurt a woman. In fact, he was still friendly with most of his exes from what she could tell. Knowing Keisha needed someone to make her happy, if even for one night, Dee made her decision.
    “I’ll let you in on a secret.”
    He tore his gaze from her friend. “What?”
    “Her and that loser, Ruben, broke it off. She kicked him out.”
    Kai pursed his lips as his attention returned to Keisha. “Really? Well, maybe I should stick around.”
    She laughed. “Yeah, she might need someone to help her mend that broken heart.”
    Kai offered her a smile and a wink. “I’m just the man to do it.”
    She watched him as he eased his way through the crowd to follow Keisha. Kai was just the type of guy she should get involved with, if she was wanting to get involved with anyone. He was easygoing, so laidback he never let anything ruffle his demeanor. Not like a certain someone with long silky hair and a hard- on for ordering her around.
    Jesus, when was she going to get that man out of her head? It had been two days since the kissing incident. She swore she could still taste him there, lingering on her lips. This wasn’t like her at all. She did not get hung up on men. Sure, they were fun, but getting involved was complicated, especially with her life.
    “Was Kai Aiona bothering you?”
    She jumped when she heard Micah’s voice behind her. Damn, he was sneaky. Granted, the music was loud, but she usually could sense a person coming up behind her. Micah’s ability to sneak up on her was another worry.
    She drew in a deep breath and turned to face him. He was behind
