His Devious Angel Read Online Free PDF

back and forth in her mom's direction.  If he was trying to be funny, she didn't appreciate his sense of fun as much as her mom, who laughed and patted his arm, then pushed him in the direction of the kitchen.
    "Go through this door and down the hall. Make yourself at home by the pool. You'll see the patio from in there. I'm thinking this girl will need a nice hot tub soak, and it would help for you to carry her there.”
    "No problem," said Liam. “I'll wait for your call.”
    Sadie watched his butt action as he strode from the room and couldn't stop the grin when she heard a huge sigh she knew her mother intended for her to hear.
    "You're incorrigible." Her lips had turned upward of their own accord, even though she'd tried to maintain a straight face. But it was impossible around Bea, who she adored…of course that was only when she wasn't rolling her eyes and shaking her head at her naughty parent’s shenanigans. 
    "Come to my bedroom and you can change into a swimsuit in there. I'll help support you , unless you'd like me to call your young man?"
    "Stop it. You're not funny."
    "Tsk, tsk. Baby, you're grumpy for a reason, so I'll forgive you.  Even as a child, when you suffered you were a pain in the ass. Nurse’s advice…I'm going to get you some Tylenol, then a long hot soak and a good massage, and you'll feel ten times better. "
    A dozen or so agonizing steps later, clinging to her mom's arm, Sadie carefully lowered her butt onto the bed. Her mother undressed her and gasped when she saw the swelling black and blue forming from her hip, along her back, and—the worst area—her shoulder.
    Bea’s tender ministrations while searching for broken bones was done quickly and efficiently. From a doctor’s bag, she produced a stethoscope and examined Sadie's blood pressure. Then she felt around the lump on her forehead and searched her skull for others. An examination of her eyes and a check of her blood pressure had her sighing with relief. Once satisfied that Sadie's injuries involved only superficial damage, she seemed to settle down.
    "I'll get you a suit, honey." She kissed Sadie's head wound very gently and left the room , returning in a few seconds. For such a large woman, she moved fast when she had good reason. Sadie recognized the garment as soon her mother appeared with it in her hands. And the daring glare she saw from the other woman had her biting her lip and shutting her mouth.
    Black, cut low in front, backless to her waist with see-through netting across her chest, it wasn't a style she'd normally be caught dead wearing. But her mother loved to shop for her girls and, rather than causehurt feelings, Sadie had worn it a few times when only the family, which consisted of her two younger, unmarried sisters and her mother, were home.
    Carefully and with help, she slid on the bathing suit, each movement awkward and painful, like there were hot fingers inside her body squeezing all the muscles, wrenching and twisting.
    “Oh, no, you don't!” Before Bea could move to open the door, Sadie grabbed her arm. "Give me a robe. I'm not going anywhere like this."
    Bea twirled and reached for the muumuu she loved wearing. She’d left it draped over her chair, and it was in easy reach. A silky green shapeless tent that surprisingly fit any size and draped the body wearing it. Before Sadie could refuse, Bea had lifted it over her head and arranged it to fall gracefully to the floor. Since Bea stood a few inches taller, it reached Sadie’s ankles and floated around her as she stubbornly lurched towards the door. 

Chapter Six
     
     
    Liam grabbed a cola from the refrigerator and surveyed his surroundings. The kitchen was a mixture of very modern versus old country. The gigantic wooden table in the middle of the room held a huge grinning ceramic pig painted in a variety of brilliant colors and wearing an endearingly goofy expression. There were fresh green herbs that looked like parsley planted in its open
