Secrets (Codey #1) Read Online Free PDF Page B

It was so embarrassing. Everyone just laughed. “I’ll take that as a yes.” Mrs. Codey let go of her hand and went to the kitchen. Then she came back out with another woman who was maybe in her late 60’s. “Dolores, I would love for you to meet Cassandra.” The woman’s eyes went wide, it was as if she recognized her or something. Then she turned to look at Mrs. Codey who in turn nodded her head as if she was saying yes to something.
     
    Then Dolores turned back to her and engulfed her in a hug. “It’s so nice to finally meet you and to have you in this house.” When she finally let go. All Cassandra could think, was that this family was really a touchy feely bunch. “I see I’m going to have to work hard to put some meat on those bones.” She said looking at Mrs. Codey. “The girl, is to skinny.” She was so not skinny.
     
    They started eating and getting to know each other. Then Mrs. Codey asked. “So how is your mother dear?” Cassandra looked at Mike trying to judge just how much she might know about her home life.

“She’s doing well. Thank you for asking.” It was an awkward topic and she was still unsure how much Mike had told his parents. .
     
    “Well, I see your still using the club house.” She had just taken a sip of water and started coughing. The question had sent the water down the wrong pipe.
     
    “Are you ok?” Mrs. Codey asked as she lightly patted her back. All Cassandra wanted at the moment was to get some air into her lungs. Mike was such a dead man. He better enjoys his last meal.
     
    “I’m sorry, but I worry about you. I remember the first time I saw the boys sneaking out at night. Mr. Codey and I followed them to see what they were up to. To our surprise, they went to your house. This went on for quite a while, until we finally asked them what was going on. Once they told us, we had the Club house fixed so you would always have a safe place to stay. This way, I could keep my boys still on our property. They’re so protective of you. I knew I could never ask them to stop sneaking out to see you.”
     
    Well what the hell do you say to that? “Just know that this is your home too. If you like, we can fix you a room here so you don’t have to be in the club house anymore.”

Cassandra smiled at her. “Thank you Mrs. Codey.” She didn’t know what the hell else to say.
     
    After dinner Mrs. Codey asked the guys to show her around the house. When they reached Mikes room, he told his brothers to scram. “Now I have you all to myself.” He said as he scooped her up and fell backwards onto his bed. She squealed as he landed on top of her. She tried to squirm away but he had her pinned to the mattress.
     
    She laughed and squirmed until she looked up and saw his heated gaze. “Oh,” was all that came out of her mouth before his mouth crashed down on hers. Things got heated pretty fast. She was panting and feeling drunk from his kisses. It shocked her to feel his hand on her bare ribcage. When had he pulled her blouse up?
     
    His hands caressed her skin and sent tingles everywhere. So many sparks were going off wherever Mike touched. He trailed kisses down her jaw and neck, all while nipping at the overly sensitive skin. All was then soothed by his moist tongue.
     
    With everything going on, she moaned. “I love when you make that sound.” His lips returned to her mouth as his hands moved to span her back. Cassandra moaned once more as he deepened the kiss.
    Her fumbling fingers fought with the buttons of his shirt. She was dying to feel the warmth of his skin under her finger tips. When the offensive shirt was finally off, her heart pounded as her brain screamed. “Good lord, this man has a body to die for.” She took the opportunity to flip him on to his back. He was far too preoccupied to pay attention to anything else at the moment.
     
    Mike looked up at her with a startled gaze. Cassandra smiled down at him, “my turn.” She leaned in to smell his
