Las Vegas Sidewinders: Karl (Book 3) Read Online Free PDF

believe you could really be
interested in more than sex with me.”
    He rolled his eyes.
“We’re going to that stupid party, and we’ll make very sure they know how
interested I am.” He leaned over and kissed her. “Go pack. We’ll fly to New
York tomorrow and then take a flight early Saturday morning to Ohio, leaving
first thing Sunday.”
    “Karl, my mother and
sister are epic bitches…” she said softly.
    “She’s not kidding!”
Erin called out. “They called me Scarface to my face.”
    Drake’s head snapped
around in disbelief. “Seriously?!”
    Erin laughed. “Relax,
I’m good. I stopped paying attention to them years ago.”
    “That’s awful,” Karl
said quietly, resting his hands on Kate’s shoulders. “I can’t imagine my mother
or sister behaving that way. That being said, maybe it’s time for someone to
let them know that you’re absolutely perfect the way you are.”
     
    Landing at the airport
in Columbus, Ohio, Kate felt the same sense of unease she always felt when she
got to her hometown. She truly hated coming home, but a sense of duty always
seemed to drag her back. This time, though, with Karl at her side, she felt a
bit more confident. Her mother and sister could be bitchy and conniving, but
Karl wasn’t some regular guy who would be easily manipulated. Watching his
easygoing manner as they walked through the airport hand in hand, she tried to
follow his lead by clearing her mind and thinking about nothing but how his
jeans hugged his great ass.
    “Are you looking at my
ass?” He slid his eyes over to hers as they waited in line for the rental car.
    “Who me?” She widened
her eyes innocently and he chuckled, kissing the side of her face.
    Even with a baseball
cap and dark sunglasses, it was easy to tell he was someone important. He was
tall and striking no matter what he was wearing, and Kate noticed both men and
women would look twice when he walked by, wondering why he looked familiar.
There was just something so compelling about him, perfect strangers seemed
drawn to him.
    Getting behind the
wheel of the rental car, Karl looked to Kate for direction and she guided him
to their hotel. Although her mother had fussed that she wouldn’t be staying at
the house, Karl had put his foot down and told her he would be damned if he had
to worry about making love to her because they were in her parents’ house.
    It wasn’t even noon
when they got to their hotel room, and Kate sank onto the bed with a heavy
sigh. She threw herself back against the pillows, thinking about what her
mother would say about the dress she was planning to wear and how long until
they had to leave.
    “Are you stressing
about this already?” Karl leaned against the doorway to the bedroom of their
suite.
    “I guess.” She
shrugged.
    He moved over to the
small bag he’d brought. Without a word, he pulled out both pairs of handcuffs,
letting them dangle from his fingers. Kate stared at him in surprise, her mouth
curving into a small smile.
    “I packed for us,” she
said. “When did you sneak those in?”
    “That’s my secret,” he
said, walking towards her slowly, a sexy smile on his lips. “So, is it your
turn to be in control?”
    Her mouth went a little
dry as she looked up at him. She licked her lips. “Where, uh, where exactly
would we put them?”
    Karl looked at the
heavy wooden headboard and then smiled. “Looks like we’re going to have to
improvise.”
    She looked behind her,
unsure of what he meant. He didn’t say anything, just pulled off his T-shirt
and unzipped his jeans, letting them slide down. He slipped one end of the
handcuffs on his left wrist and then joined her on the bed. She looked at him
as the first tingle of excitement coursed through her belly; it was all still
so new but exciting too. She’d never imagined doing things like this, but with
Karl it felt natural. Despite the newness of their relationship, she felt
completely at ease with him.
    “You’ll have to run
