She turned to him and rested her face against his chest when he circled his arms around her. “We’re okay, Ethan. I’m just trying to digest everything. It’s all so much to take in. I can’t imagine what your mom and dad will think after they hear of Brax’s betrayal.”

“From now on, anything you want to know about me, just ask. I’ll always answer you honestly. Anything you want to know. No more distance between us.”

She kept quiet for several moments, “Does that mean you’re willing to give us a try?”

“No. There is no trying with us. I’m going to get you back to my brothers and once they’re all gone I’m going to sink my cock so deep inside your sweet, addictive pussy and all it will take is one try to get my baby inside you.”

She muffled her giggle against his chest. “A little direct.”

He shrugged. “I said you would get nothing but honesty from me and that is exactly what I’m thinking about right now.”

She pulled back and he looked down into her smiling face. “We’ve only known each other for three months. I can’t believe we’re already here. In the baby stages.”

“People have fallen in love in less time, baby.”

Back at his brother’s cabin no sooner had he swung open the screen door to did his brothers have Remy pulled inside and sitting on a barstool between them.

Remy laughed and he took a moment to grab the fastest shower he’d ever taken in his life. Dressed in borrowed jeans and T-shirt he entered the kitchen to find all three of his brothers—Drake, Holden, and Damon—hanging on every word that left Remy’s mouth as she went over the events of the last day and a half. She was now on the part about her herbal cure.

“After a couple of more cups full of this tea, everyone should be okay. I’m not going anywhere so if you have any questions, just reach out.”

He decided if he didn’t already love her, he’d be a goner right then and there.

“But stay out of the water until we can get it cleaned up. If you have any more friends or know anyone who comes out here to camp, please warn them off.”

They circled around on all sides and he felt a pang of jealousy at how they had all her attention.

She toyed with the ends of the damn scarf that would survive the freaking apocalypse if there ever was one. The delicate tassels swayed in the soft currents of cool air from the vent above.

“I see you’ve worked your magic over my brothers. They look as smitten as I feel.”

Ethan pushed off the door frame he’d been leaning against and made his way to Remy’s side with a limp. His leg screamed like a bitch under his weight, but he’d had worse.

Remy placed her mug on the countertop. “I was just telling your brothers thank you for saving our asses back there.”

Drake pulled her in for a quick hug. “It’s what family does.”

“Speaking of,” Damon started. “How did it come to all this? The poisoning of the water and shooting you?”

“We’re still trying to figure it all out, but I think it all boils down to a man not knowing where he belonged.” He didn’t like the sad tone to Remy’s voice.

“Do you guys have a phone or a radio I can use? I need to call in the rangers.” She rose from her stool.

“Uh, sure. This way.” Holden guided Remy from the kitchen. The second they rounded the corner into the living room, he turned to his brothers. “You need to leave. Like now. As soon as she comes back, you need to be out the door.”

Damon clasped his shoulder as Holden walked back in. “We were thinking the same thing.”

He looked all three in the eye as he braced his hands on the kitchen counter. “Thank you all for being there today.”

“We came up to get out of town for a couple of days. Glad we did,” Holden said. “Heard the gunshots and from the echo that bounced around the valley, we knew no hunter would use such a small caliber.” Holden grabbed the keys off the counter and started gathering his things. Drake and Damon doing the same. “Next best answer was you and Remy in trouble. Either way, we couldn’t just not check it out.”

He hugged each of them as they headed for the door.

“Make sure you don’t let her slip away man. She makes you a better man,” Drake whispered in his ear before pushing off and leaving him alone with Remy.

“Where did everybody go?” Remy stepped into the kitchen and looked around.

His hands wrapped around her waist and pulled her to him before she could protest. Not that she would once he had her naked and under him. “I think I need to show you how much I love you.” He hunched forward and placed his shoulder at the crook of her waist. “And the only way I can do that is it seems is by showing you.” He loved the little squeak of surprise as he lifted.
