Free Adrianna's Storm by Sasha Parker Page A

her to know that they were there for her. Her and her sisters, they would protect them all with their lives as they had been raised and trained to do. It was their calling, their destiny.
     

     
    As the men entered the kitchen, it grew quiet and everyone seemed to stop moving about. Reilly grinned and looked around. Ari was standing at the counter and her face was bright red. Her sisters were all grinning like clowns. It was obvious they had been talking to her about the men. He wondered what that conversation had been like.
    The women began to chat about dinner and setting the table after a couple of beats. The men grabbed the plates and cups to help. They kept an eye on Ari as she helped dish up the dinner. Then they all sat down in the formal dining room and ate. The conversation flowed well and everyone was enjoying themselves.
    They heard commotion from the front of the castle and the men stood up quickly. They put their hands up to motion the women to stay where they were and went to the foyer to see what was going on.
    It wasn't long before they heard a female voice exclaim, "Who the hell are you and what are you doing at the castle?"
    Ari jumped up and ran into the foyer with her sisters following her. Their grandmother stayed seated and smiled. Sheela was home.
    Ari went to stand between the two men, then she grabbed Sheela in a hug. "Welcome home, honey. It took you long enough."
    It didn't get by Sheela that Ari was obviously laying claim to these two gorgeous men. She hugged her sister back and said in her ear, "Well, well, Kira wasn't lying, huh?" She pulled back and grinned at Ari. Her other sisters exclaimed their welcome and hugged her as well. Sheela left her bags by the door and followed her family into the dining room.
    Their grandmother stood and hugged Sheela when they came in. Then they all sat down to eat again. Introductions were made between Sheela and the brothers as the conversations began again. Ari sat between Reilly and Lachlan with tension in her body. She didn't know where they went from here. She jumped a little when she felt each of them put a hand on her thighs. They rubbed lightly on each side and she began to feel a tingling in her pussy. All of a sudden she couldn't wait for dinner to be over.
    Kira's voice broke into her thoughts when she said, "So, Shea, the movie's done?"
    "Yeah, you can stay?" Erin asked.
    Sheela put down her fork and said vaguely, "I have some time."
    Ari saw something in her eyes and opened her mouth to question Sheela when her grandmother broke in. "Good. It is going to be so nice to have all of you around at one time for a while. There is so much to do for the party and I am not as young as I used to be."
    Sheela smiled in relief and said, "Well, I am at your service."
    Her grandmother nodded and her sisters all smiled. They finished eating and the men insisted on clearing away the dishes so the girls could talk. After a while, their grandmother excused herself saying she wanted to retire early. They all said good night to her as the sisters talked of going to the pool.
    Ari spoke up and said, "I'm not going to go, I'm tired and think I'm going to go to bed."
    Kira smirked at her. "Yeah, I can see you must be bushed."
    Erin laughed and nudged Calli with her elbow. Ari looked at them and smiled. "Whatever, good night." She blew kisses to them and headed upstairs. She had thought about going to the guys and telling them she would be in her room but thought that was too much.
    She entered her bedroom and collapsed on her bed. Man, what a day . Her thoughts went to the four men in the forest and fear skated down her spine. What had they wanted? What was going on? Just when she began to really get scared, there was a knock on her door.
    When she opened the door, Reilly and Lachlan were there, both leaning against the doorjamb.
    "May we come in?" Lachlan asked.
    Ari waved them in. "Is there something wrong?"
    "No, luv. No worries," Reilly said as he passed her when he
