Sudden Response Read Online Free PDF

"You did."
    "I did not!"
    "Oh, come on, mom. No need to pretend. Everyone knows you raised the three of us to be foul mouthed little bastards," Eric
    said, egging his mother on.
    Caitlyn laughed while Camie looked utterly confused. If Joe had to guess the woman didn't have a clue they were all joking. It
    only took two minutes after meeting A lice to know she was a down to earth wholesome woman. She raised the three of them
    with more love than anyone could ever hope for.
    "So...." Camie began. "I'm really confused."
    Nathan and Eric sighed at the same time. Joe decided to set the table and leave it up to the guys to explain their odd little
    family.
    "Okay, I'll explain our little family dynamic since I get a kick out of it," Nathan said cheerfully.
    "Oh, brother," A lice muttered with a fond smile.

Eric settled into a chair safely away from the woman his mother was trying to throw at him. He seriously had to question her
    mental status on this one. Not one single woman he dated, not even Beth, the woman he'd been engaged to, was anything like
    this. This woman was too focused on her clothes and appearance to know anyone else existed. She'd already sent Caitlyn a
    dismissive look and a look to his mother he didn't particular like. To top it off she wouldn't stop staring at him like she owned
    him. It was really annoying and a bit frightening. He was half afraid that if he turned his back on her that she'd brand his ass.
    He sat back in his chair and let his eyes roam over Joe. He definitely hadn't missed the nasty look Camie sent Joe when she
    walked into the kitchen. His upbringing was the only thing that prevented him from tossing her out on her ass at the moment.
    Women could be such bitches sometimes. Not all of them, but women like this one definitely were. It just pissed him off when
    women gave Joe a dismissive look because she wasn't dressed in the latest fashion and didn't pray at the altar of cosmetics. Joe
    was beautiful, hell, she was sexy in her own right. She was distinctly female and perfectly curved in his book. She might not
    wear the latest fashions, but she always managed to make his blood boil, probably always would.
    He let his eyes roam over her hair that she left loose, it teased her shoulder blades as she moved. He nearly cursed when she
    took out an elastic and put it up in a messy bun, but she still looked good. He let his eyes run down her slender neck to the tight
    black blouse she wore that ended above her belly button. He liked that flat athletic stomach of hers. It was perfectly defined
    with a hint of muscle thanks to their job.
    When she faced him, smiling, he licked his lips as his eyes took in her high firm breasts, perfect for his hands, not that it would
    happen. He took in her figure, just perfect. A bsolutely perfect. It really was no wonder women hated her. She was magnificent.
    "Earth to Eric," Nathan said, pulling him out of his thoughts. Great, was he drooling? He sure as hell hoped not.
    "Yeah?" he said, looking at his brother who simply rolled his eyes. "You want me to tell the story?"
    "Knock yourself out," Eric said, dropping his head back to stare at the ceiling. No need to get caught ogling Joe again. She'd
    tease him mercilessly and tell him he needed to get laid. No doubt he did. It had been too long. Way too long.
    A fter what happened the last time it was going to be a long time before he tried again, a really long time. That kind of shit
    really messed with a man's head.
    "So, one day when Eric was eight, dad gets a call that some bully had not only beaten up his baby boy, but that bully made Eric
    eat a handful of worms," Nathan started.
    "That's awful!" Camie said, looking thoroughly disgusted. It had been pretty gross, he had to admit. The worms weren't too bad,
    but all that dirt had been nasty.
    Joe laughed once again, drawing his attention. He liked her laugh. It always soothed him.
    "It gets better," Nathan promised. "I'm a year older so dad had me
