Skin Tight (Skin Deep #4) Read Online Free PDF

months ago, we’d all be down at Griff’s for a night out. It was packed, which wasn’t unusual for the place, especially because they had a live band that night, but we’d been dancing when Ian was grabbed from behind. When he’d gotten untangled, he’d turned to see it was a very scantily clad Victoria, and she’d been sloshed out of her mind. It wasn’t a fun night.
    I cut in, stopping Chloe from arguing Brandon to death. “Yeah, she was there, and she didn’t waste any time getting her octopus arms around Ian. And of course, then his mom had to go on and on about how they were meant to be together or whatever, blah blah blah.” I rolled my eyes, even though she couldn’t see me.
    “So, same ol’ same ol’, that’s what you’re saying, right?” Chloe asked me, laughing.
    “You got it.”
    “Hmm. Anyway, that’s not what I was calling for. I have an idea that I think you’re gonna want in on. It’s something that we haven’t done in a long time, and it’s overdue in my opinion.”
    “What?” I asked, completely intrigued.
    All she said in reply was, “Down & Dirty,” before I’d chimed in.
    “I’m in!”

Chapter 5
    I waved as the last child stepped onto his bus, and then turned to go back inside to straighten up my classroom and gather things up before I headed home. On the way, I stopped by Gerry’s cage and topped up his food and water, then sat at my desk to go over the next day’s lesson and to check my supply list for the activities I had planned.
    Once I had that done, I looked over the rhyme and match worksheets we’d done in class today before I locked up my desk and grabbed my keys. I stood, stretching before I reached for my purse, then twirled around in surprise when I heard a noise behind me.
    “Hey!” I said, smiling at Chloe who had entered the room.
    “Hey, yourself!” she called, moving closer to give me a hug, which I gladly returned.
    “What are you doing here?” I asked her, moving back to my desk to reach for my purse once more.
    “Coming to steal you so we can meet Emma and Allie for dinner to discuss the fun party we’re gonna have,” she said, doing a crazy little jig of excitement.
    “Sweet!” I said. “I just have to call Ian and let him know.” I grabbed my cell and dialed Ian, hoping he’d answer so I wouldn’t have to leave him a message.
    Turns out, I was lucky today. He answered on the second ring.
    “Hey baby,” he said.
    I could hear the smile in his voice and my lips curled up automatically. “Hey, yourself, handsome. Just wanted to call and let you know that Chloe just showed up here and we’re meeting Allie and Emma for dinner. Want me to pick something up for you to bring home?”
    “Sure, baby. I’ll see you later, then. Love you.”
    “Love you, too,” I told him, still smiling as I hung up the phone.
    Chloe rolled her eyes at me.
    “Don’t you roll your eyes, goofy. You forget I know you very well, and I know how you and Brandon are,” I said, narrowing my eyes at her playfully.
    “Truth,” she said, nodding her head and grinning unrepentantly.
    I glanced at the clock. “It’ll be an early dinner, though, is that okay? It’s only…oh. I guess I took longer than I thought to go through papers and lesson plans,” I said, noting that it was going on five already. Classes usually let out just after three, so I’d been working on stuff for almost two hours? Huh.
    “Yep,” she said. “Let’s go. They said we could pick, just have to call and let them know where we’re going.”
    I looked at her and, without missing a beat, we both said, “Manny’s!”
    Half an hour later, the four of us were laughing around a table, stuffing our faces with delicious salad, pasta, and garlic bread, and sipping glasses of sangria. Manny had already come out and berated Allie and Emma for coming in without bringing the little ones to see him. When he’d left the table, Emma told us that she and Luke had come in to eat with Everly last
