Cormac Read Online Free PDF

there had better be enough for him when he got back.
    There was another platter of chops, a bowl of
corn, and another of green beans. Corn bread was still steaming on the stove
top, as well as three big bowls of fried potatoes. His mouth started to water
when he thought of how many of these alone he was going to scarf down. And if
Stormy didn’t want this girl, whoever she was, then he’d hire her to cook for
him full time. As he took some of the platters to the dining area, he saved back
one of the bowls of potatoes for himself. He figured if his family got them,
he’d never get even a fried onion that was in the bowl too. Before he could
leave the kitchen, however, he saw them.
    Storm was a beautiful woman. And he’d be the
first to tell anyone who asked that he was slightly afraid of her. He knew that
if asked, she’d be armed with not just a gun, but knives as well. And he also
knew that she could kick his ass even though he was bigger than her. But the
woman standing next to her was who had his full attention.
    Fragile was the first thought that came to
mind. Then delicate. Rose-like and even soft. But he also had a feeling that
she could be hard, defensive, as well as protective. He stood there staring at
her when he felt someone bump him from behind. He turned to look at his dad.
    “That would be Andi.” Mac nodded. “She and
Storm are friends, and when she was hurt a few days ago, she had her brought
here to hide out. I think she asked you to look in on her while she was gone. I
know that Billy has been giving you reports and all, but the shit hit the fan
today. I guess her family is a piece of work.”
    “Married?” His dad said he didn’t think so,
but that he’d heard from Ennis that it was a dad and aunt that were making
things hard for her. “Do you think they’ll come here for her?”
    For some reason Mac hoped so. He tried to
shake off the feeling that he needed to protect her by telling himself that she
was a friend of Storm’s, so he had to. But Mac found that he wanted to touch
her too. Looking at his dad when he said his name, he handed him the platter of
the coveted potatoes and made his way to the woman.
    “Andi, this is my brother-in-law, Cormac. He
goes by Mac. Like I was telling you, they’re not going to let anything happen
to you.” Mac shook his head and looked at the bruising on Andi’s face as Storm
continued. “Come on out and have lunch with us, and let them tell you how
wonderful your meal is. I’m sure that any one of them will beg you to marry
them so that you’ll cook for them.”
    The low growl coming from his throat startled
all three of them. Storm cocked a brow at him and Andi backed up. He tried to
reason with his cat that things were fine, but he wasn’t too happy right now. Mac
took a step back too and smiled at Andi.
    “I’m hungry, that’s all. And I guess we’re
all waiting on you to join us.” Andi just stared at him. “Dad said that he had
some of your pancakes this morning and that they were as light as feathers. And
my favorite food of all time is fried potatoes.”
    “They were fast.” He had no idea what that
meant. Mac didn’t venture into the kitchen except to pick up a snack or to
microwave leftovers from some restaurant he or one of his brothers might have
been to. He was not a cook. “You should go eat, while things are hot.”
    Hot. Heat. Mac felt his mind go into
overdrive at the thoughts that the words brought up in his head. Not for food,
though he thought of filling his belly with something, but it was the woman,
not food. She must have sensed something, because she took another step back
and he took one toward her this time. Storm moved between her and him. He
wanted to snarl at her, but the look on her face had him pause.
    You’re scaring her, you idiot. Back the fuck
up. He didn’t want to back up and he was pretty sure that Storm knew it. Back up
or I swear to you I will shoot your dick off and slap you around with it. Back
the
