My Libertine (Trio Book 2) Read Online Free PDF Page A

time Linn or I talk to her she clams up. I know she is fighting some inner demons, I just wish she would let us help fight them with her.
    “Huh? Oh yeah, I'm fine. What is for dinner?” she asks sidling up next to me at the counter, bumping my hip playfully with hers.
     
     
    After tucking Karter into his crib, hopefully for the night. I cuddle up into my bed and right when I plug my phone into the charger it vibrates to life with a text from Row.
     
    Row : how is your night going?
     
    I'm surprised he is texting me at this time of night, it’s around ten my time which means it's nine where he is. I would think he would have another woman wrapped around him already.
     
    Shane : good cookies tasted amazing
     
    Row : you are a tease Dove
     
    Shane : you having a slow night?
     
    Row : no why would you say that?
     
    Shane : because you are texting me shouldn't you be cuddled up with a girl for the night?
     
    Row : first off, I don't cuddle, second talking to you is far more important than some girl that may warm my bed for the night and third, she is in the bathroom I'm waiting for her to get back so we can leave lol
     
    I can't believe the arrogant bastard just said that to me. I almost don't respond but decide that I need to have the last word.
     
    Shane : make sure you call out the right name, wouldn't want to forget who you are with ;-)
     
    He says nothing else, I guess I win this round of banter. I lay my phone down on the table by my bed and look over at my sleeping baby in the crib next to me. I really could have had his room in Linn’s old room but it just didn't seem right to do it then, I guess I just miss her living here is all.
    “It’s just me and you baby boy,” I whisper into the dark.
     
     
    The next few days I don't get any more texts from Row, I would be lying to myself if I said I wasn't slightly bummed. Oh well I guess, he is just a guy, right? Dime a dozen. Today I'm taking Karter in to have a checkup then meeting up with dad to check out some houses. He emailed me a list and I think I have the ones narrowed down for my favorites.
    “Did you look at the list?” my dad asks as I get into his rental car after strapping Karter in the back. I swear they keep the same one for him in the lot, its a blacked out town car that looks like he belongs in the secret service or something. Linn asked me once what was up with the mafia car out front and I just laughed, mafia in Missoula, that’s crazy.
    “Yes and I like the blue ones.” Yes, the blue ones. There were five houses one brown two white and two blue.
    “Good. Me too, biggest back yards. We are meeting the Realtor at the first one the list then going from there.” Sounds like a fun filled day. When we get to house number one there is a small two-door silver car out front with a real estate sticker on the door. A woman dressed in a black business type suit steps out. She has brown hair in a tight low bun I can’t see her face until she takes off her huge sunglasses. She is stunning. Dad is getting Karter out of the back when he must see that fact too.
    “Hi my name is Leanna, you must be the Cloud family?” she eyes me skeptically, then my dad and Karter. Dad is a little out of sorts for a beat then seems to collect himself.
    “Yes, I'm Bruce. This is my daughter and my grandson Karter.” I can see the relief on her face. I figured she thought my old man of a father was my husband. It actually happens more than you think. I guess he looks more like my sugar daddy than my father. Pushing sixty my dad is still one handsome man, still fit and has a full head of salt and pepper hair, he and my mother are almost fifteen years apart in age. Gives Mc Steamy a run for his money. I do believe this woman is now checking out my dad and by the look on his face, I'm thinking he is doing the same. They are both quiet for far too long so I break the, whatever is going on.
    “Okay, let's go and see this house shall we?” Leanna seems to realize
