Dangerous Abduction (O'Connor Brothers Book 2) Read Online Free PDF

much as it hurt to lose Sarah, he remembered her words every day. “You’ll always have a piece of me with you in Mason.”
    He wondered if she knew how right she was, because Mason resembled Sarah more and more every day with his dark brown hair and pert nose. He also had the O’Connor blue eyes, the dimples and the mischievous grin, but the grin made Mason look a lot like his youngest brother Aaron. He still wasn’t sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing.
    “Daddy!” Mason squealed as he started to jump up and down still clung tightly to James’ leg.
    “Hey there, buddy.” James tousled his hair.
    “Are we gonna go home now?” Mason picked up his backpack and struggled to get his small arms through the straps.
    “Well, we’re going to go see Uncle John and Aunt Stephanie before they go on vacation.” The noise his son created had heads turning and James’ ears ringing. It looked like it was a yes to the visit. “Let’s go.” James lifted Mason into his arms and walked through the door receiving nods and smiles from the other parents picking up their children.
    On the way back to Hopedale, he knew it was time to have a serious talk with Mason about his abrupt question during breakfast. The last thing he needed was his son saying something about him dating Marina in front of Stephanie, or worse Danny.
    “Mason, I need to talk to you about what you asked this morning.” James glanced into the rearview mirror to make sure Mason was paying attention. “Do you know what I’m talking about, buddy?”
    “Yep, what Nanny said, right?” Mason started to kick his feet as he bounced in his seat.
    “That’s right. I don’t want you to say anything to anyone else about that, okay?” James turned onto the off ramp that headed into Hopedale.
    “Why?” James should have known it wouldn’t be that easy with Mason being so inquisitive, and he always needed to have a reason for everything.
    “It’s a secret, and nobody can know about it.” The one thing he was sure about was Mason knew some secrets were meant to be kept quiet.
    “Okay, Daddy, but when will it not be a secret?” James shook his head in frustration.
    “I’ll let you know, okay?” James held his breath until Mason nodded.
    “Uncle John!” Mason yelled as he bolted through John’s front door. Before James was able to get into the living room, Mason was scooped up in John’s arms and thrown into the air. This was the reason it was so hard to get Mason to calm down after a trip to his brother’s place.
    “There’s one of my best buddies.” John chuckled. “I got a surprise for you.”
    James groaned, because John’s surprises were either noisy or gave Mason a sugar rush that took hours to wear off. He couldn’t wait for the day that he could return the favor to his brother.
    “You’re taking him with you if you give him anything with sugar,” James shouted as John disappeared from view obviously not paying any attention. Stephanie’s laugh made him turn to see her glide out of the dining room.
    She reached up and kissed his cheek. “Don’t worry, this surprise should knock him out.” She linked her arm into his and pulled him towards the patio doors in the kitchen. It led to a back garden with an incredible view of Hopedale Beach.
    “What the hell?” Standing in the center of the yard was the largest playset he’d ever seen in a private yard. It was probably bigger than the one in Hopedale Park. Four swings and a slide took up one side of the structure, and a large fort with an upper floor and a lower one took up the other side. Mason was squealing and running around it as if John had just given him a million dollars, or in Mason’s case a chocolate bar.
    “This is mine?” Mason said excitedly
    “You’ve got to share it with Danny, but you can play with it any time you’re here.” John scooped him up and put him on top of the slide.
    “This is so cool.” Mason slid down and ran around the slide to climb up
