to be a harlot to entertain them this night.
    “So, you’ve brought us a new delight to share for our
evening romp,” Jake said, grinning broadly. “How thoughtful, Max!” he said
boisterously.
    Max released the woman, stalked over to Jake, and
delivered a blow to his jaw that felled him. Jake stared up from the floor in
confusion, shock, then fury, Simon noted wryly, the turkey leg still clutched
in his hand. Damn. It seemed he’d have to intervene in order to keep one of
them from killing the other, so he rushed over and grabbed Max’s arm, sending
him a silent warning with one long, dark look.
     Slowly, Jake sat up and threw the turkey leg across
the hall before turning on his brother. “What in the hell is wrong with you?”
    “Never put Carrie in the same position as your doxies,
never!” Max bellowed.
    “Just having a bit of fun is all,” Jake said sullenly
as he rose to his feet, still rubbing his jaw. “And how would I know that she’s
the one?”
    Never forget, brother, in the past, you were more than
happy to participate in a mutual dalliance. Simon decided it wise not to mention the fact aloud, however.
    “Introduce us to your mate,” Simon said, deciding it
wise to wait until later, when the three brothers could be alone to discuss the
awful happenings of this night regarding their grandfather.
    Max straightened up and placed a secure arm around
Carrie’s waist. “This is Carrie Sweeney. Meet my brothers, Simon and Jake.”

Five
     
    Awe and trepidation flowed through Carrie as she
looked upon Max’s brothers. They were all large and intimidating, and utterly
handsome, sinfully so. They all held an astonishingly male, earthy aura about
them that made her feel small, feminine, and weak. This was an unusual
experience for Carrie to have since she was used to men, being surrounded by
them at home—males older and much larger than she was.
    She also noted they wore charming smiles on their lips
and she felt heat seep up to the very roots of her hair.
    Simon, the largest of the three, dressed in a broadcloth
shirt and serviceable work pants, bowed and swallowed up her small hand in his
rough one. He placed a kiss on the top of her hand then murmured, “A pleasure,
Miss Carrie.”
    Jake, dressed in a white silk shirt with billowy
sleeves, tan pants that fit his build to perfection, and a blinding gold
stock-style necktie, stepped up then as soon as Simon released her hand and
recaptured it. Carrie grimaced when she saw the bruise that had formed on his
jaw from Max’s fist.
    Squeezing her hand lightly, Jake leaned forward and
daringly brushed her cheek with his lips. “Enchanting, you are, Miss Carrie,
and much too good for my brother, in my opinion.” He heard Max’s warning growl,
released her then and stepped back.
    “I’m happy to meet all of you,” she whispered. Gazing
around her, she looked at the massive hall, decorated sparsely but well, and
smiled at Max. “This is a castle.”
    Max grinned. “You knew I lived in one.”
    “Yes, I did, but…well…I’ve never before been in one.”
    “Would you like me to take you on a tour?” he asked.
    She smiled back and grabbed his hand. “Yes, please.”
    Max looked at his brothers. “We’ll partake supper in
my rooms, so don’t wait for us.
    Jake grinned. “You know, why don’t I come along then
on the tour. I could give Carrie a completely different perspec…”
    “Hell…no,” Max growled. He grabbed Carrie’s arm and
scurried away with her down one hallway, the loud guffaws from his brothers
following in his wake.
    As soon as Max turned down another long hallway, he
paused, twirled Carrie into his arms and pressed her back against the castle
wall.

    Carrie gasped then giggled when Max’s bewhiskered chin
brushed her collarbone as he kissed the pulse behind her ear. “Max, stop!” she
said, pressing against his shoulders. He moved back and his eyes glittered with
lust, his attention fully on her.
