Rule of Three Read Online Free PDF

low on his hips she could see the twin indentations at the base of his spine when she looked at him from the back, and facing him…well she couldn’t even look, afraid of what she might see. The lowest she’d let her eyes go was his six-pack abs and even that was dangerous. His silky dark hair had flopped over his forehead and those eyes had looked at her with such heat, she’d almost felt like she were burning up.
    She’d felt so guilty for admiring his half-naked body she’d practically jumped onto Chris’s lap to force her attention where it should be—on her handsome boyfriend. Who was equally as sexy. There was just something about Dag that kept pulling at her.
    And tonight they were going to see him again. He and Chris had had lunch yesterday but hadn’t invited her along. Not that she’d wanted to go. She’d had lunch with friends from work, as she usually did.
    The doorbell rang just as she was checking her purse for cell phone, keys and shopping list, and when she peeked out she saw…Dag.
    She didn’t know why her heart started thudding in her chest, heavy and slow, taking her breath away. She unlocked the door and opened it with shaky fingers, forcing a smile.
    “Hey,” she said. “This is a surprise.”
    He smiled back at her, that wicked sexy smile that crinkled his eyes and creased his lean cheeks. “I tried to call you at work but you weren’t there.”
    Puzzled, she tipped her head to one side. “Yeah. I mean, no. I took the day off to do some errands.”
    “That’s what Chris told me. I called him to find out where you are. I was hoping to pick your brain.”
    “Me? Why?”
    His eyes sparkled. “I’ve got this idea…met with a guy yesterday, and it got me thinking. And you’re the perfect one to help me.”
    “Idea for what?” Thoughts buzzed around in her head. Why me? What guy? What was he talking about?
    “Let me take you out for lunch,” he said, not answering any of her questions. “And I’ll explain everything.”
    “Uh…okay. I guess.” She glanced at her watch. It wasn’t even eleven yet. “Kind of early for lunch, though.”
    He shrugged and gave a crooked smile that sent a shaft of heat right through her. “I’m hungry.”
    “Let me guess. No breakfast.”
    “Yeah.” His smile deepened. “Okay, I’ll take you for a late breakfast then. No, you have lunch, I’ll have breakfast.”
    “Whatever.” Amusement glimmered inside her. “Fine. Let me get my purse.” She grabbed it from the kitchen table where she’d been checking it then flicked off the lights. “I was just heading out. A few more minutes I’d have been gone.”
    “Lucky me,” he said, and the husky timbre of his voice brushed over her. She licked her lips as she locked the door of the condo behind her.
    His rental car was parked at the curb beneath the rustling green canopy of the big old maple trees in front of their building. He opened the passenger door for her and she climbed in.
    “Where should we go?” he asked, fastening his seat belt.
    She had no idea. There were so many places they could go, but since it was a gorgeous warm day, she tried to think of somewhere outside. “There’s a little place not far from here. In fact…” She made a face. “We could probably have walked.”
    He slanted her a grin as he shifted gears. Something she’d always found very sexy was a man driving a standard transmission, shifting gears smoothly like he could feel the motor revving. When she saw his hand on the gear shift, she had to swallow hard.
    “Turn left at the next light,” she directed him. “It’s called Lombardo’s.”
    “Sounds fancy.”
    “It’s not. It’s just a little place, but it has a nice patio.”
    “Sounds good.”
    He found the place easily, and with some kind of wicked luck he found a parking spot on the street and eased the car into it in a smooth feat of parallel parking. He did everything so easily—he seemed to Kassidy to be the kind of guy who had it all,
