That was a sexy shot of his behind, and in that moment, Finn wanted to celebrate.
Someone found him sexy!
Someone wanted him.
“He’s gorgeous,” Gabby said, admiring the picture. Then, she gave him a gift. “A thasgaidh.”
His heart skipped when she called him her darling, and he loved how they used this country’s native language.
She was learning for him, and that said everything when it came to their relationship.
Yeah, his family would love her.
As he was about to tell her so, they all heard it.
There was a blood curdling scream.
Bark Twain jumped up, and he went wild at the sound, and they jumped too.
They were the only people in the house, and none of them had shrieked like that.
What?
The?
Hell?
Well, now, they had no choice but to go investigate, andNONEof them looked happy about it either.
Finn took Gabby’s hand, and kept her close as they left the library and raced toward the crypt. As they got closer, they heard the soft sobs of the dead woman, and the lights swung and flickered.
Uh-oh.
There was no wind inside the castle to make them do that.
“Someone pissed her off,” Tony admitted. “That was one hell of a scream.”
That it was.
As they went to go past the storage room, Gabby stopped.
“I didn’t close the door,” she said. “When I left, I raced out of there. I didn’t close it.”
Oh, shit.
Tony hadn’t been down here since before dinner, so he hadn’t closed it either.
That worried them.
“We’re going to have to go in there, aren’t we?” Tony asked.
Finn nodded.
Had someone told him that he’d be doing this three days ago, going on ghost patrol, he would have thought they were daft.
And yet, here he was.
“Let’s get it over with,” he suggested, and no one looked happy to be on this little adventure.
