Shadowing the Teacher (Perfect Pairs Book 3) by Tamsin Baker Read Free Book Online

need to be with a woman he’d only just met over the brother he’d known his whole life was incredible to him.
    He clenched his teeth and focused on his brother, the strength needed almost more than he had. “It’s true. I talked to her a little, but she freaked out when she found out about Perfect Pairs. I told Jack to give her my number and that I needed to talk to you first.”
    The car lurched again as Reid took them back to the hotel at a heart-wrenching speed.
    “You all right driving?”
    Reid shot him a murderous glare then looked back at the road, his knuckles turning white as he gripped the steering wheel hard.
    “Yeah. Of course I am. Why?”
    Kane made a noncommittal noise in his throat and said, “No reason.”
    He stayed silent for the remaining few minutes back to their hotel, almost flying through the windscreen as Reid slammed on the brakes right outside their room.
    “Let’s pack up and head home. There’s no point hanging around here.”
    Huh? What home?
    “What do you mean?” But his words were said to the empty car as Reid had already gotten out and slammed the door in record time, the car actually rocking with the impact of the closing.
    Shit, he’s getting strong again.
    His heart lighter, Kane jumped out of the car and followed his brother inside. Thank goodness they’d paid for the biggest suite the hotel had. They had two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a lounge that you could hold a conference in. Or more to the point, a screaming match, which Kane feared was about to happen.
    He stepped into the shared space and watched his brother grab his suitcase down from the chest of drawers. Reid started to stomp around the room, throwing things at the case as he went.
    Kane crossed his arms and puffed out his chest. “What the fuck do you think you’re doing, big brother?”
    Reid stopped, turned in slow motion, and stared at him. His eyes were wide, and his mouth hung open.
    Surprised? Good! I’ve found something worth fighting for, and I’m not going to stand by as you run away.
    Kane felt a smug smile spread across his lips.
    “Yeah, I know, not my usual language, but the situation calls for it, don’t you think?”
    Reid prowled out of his room and into the lounge. He stood in front of Kane, so close that Kane actually had to tilt his head up to look into his brother’s angry blue gaze.
    “I’m packing to go home , little brother. What the fuck do you think you’re doing?”
    A chill passed over Kane as he saw some of his real brother returning. Oh, the fights they’d gotten into as teenagers had been epic. Reid had a temper and a half and loved to smash his fist into guys who could take it.
    When they’d gotten older, Reid had mellowed, and since meeting Amanda and her subsequent death, the caveman in his brother had disappeared. He’d read a lot on psychosomatic illness in university, but he’d never thought he and his brother would fall prey to it. They’d stopped eating and working out, assuming that the legends were correct and they would soon die. Had they really done that to themselves?
    He shook his head and focused on the good that was happening now. His brother was back, and Kane wanted to shout for joy. “We need to go back to the party together and talk to Samantha, although I think she likes being called Sam.”
    Reid glared down at him. “Why the hell would I do that?”
    Kane inhaled deeply and swallowed his fear. “Because it’s possible she’s our true mate.”
    “ What ?” Reid bellowed, and Kane took a few steps back, not willing to go up against his brother physically at a time like this.
    “What do you mean, what? You felt it, Reid. You know there’s something very special there. Signs we ignored are now coming back to haunt us. Even if she’s not our mate, we owe it to ourselves to find out.”
    “I am not … I repeat, am not, going to spend time with some frumpy, arrogant, little … girl, just so you can see what it feels like to touch up a
