sweetly.
    “Yes, my beauty.” He moved his arms to look up at her.
    “Yum.” She rasped in a low, sexy voice and licked out at his cream drying on her fingers, watching as his eyes went wide. She did it again and Donnall’s deflated cock started to rise. Liam had only been good for one go a night, but it seemed her barbarian was up for extra innings. She reached out to take him in hand when the door to the cabin slammed open.

    “What in the name of the gods is going on here?” Fionn roared.
    Donnall scrambled to sit up and wrap the discarded blanket around Cadence’s near-naked form before wrapping his arms protectively around her.
    “Take your hands off my sister, Donnall,” Carter said in a low, menacing voice.
    “Oh for fuck’s sake, Carter. Calm down.” Donnall rolled his eyes.
    “We have been looking for the pair of you for hours and you have been here all along stealing Cadence’s innocence?”
    “I’m not innocent,” Cadence pouted.
    “The fuck you’re not!’ Donnall yelled, pulling himself away from Cadence. He wrapped the spare blanket around himself and moved to shield her from Fionn and Carter. “I did not steal her virtue, Fionn. We just…”
    “Carter and I do not need to know what you did. The damage is done,” Fionn said coldly. “This is the last straw, Donnall. I kept silent when you deflowered maid after maid, but I can keep quiet no longer.”
    “Maid after maid?” Cadence asked no one in particular, wrapping the blanket more closely around herself.
    “Who do you think you are, taking advantage of my sister like that?” Carter yelled, his hands balling into fists.
    Cadence pulled herself up from the floor, the blanket wrapped around her body like a towel. “Carter, he didn’t.”
    “I should kick you out of Moone on your ass,” Fionn added.
    “Fionn, no!” Cadence moved forward to get between the three men who looked like they were about to come to blows. No one was listening to a word she was saying and she wasn’t going to stand by and watch three men she loved tear each other to pieces. There would be time to dissect her feelings for Donnall later, for now she needed to get Fionn and Carter to calm down.
    “If you have any hope of remaining at Moone, you will marry the girl,” Fionn demanded.
    “NO!” Cadence shrieked. She’d almost made that mistake once with a man she’d known for years, she wasn’t about to marry a man she’d only known for a week.
    “I would marry you, my beauty, without Fionn requiring it of me.”
    Cadence shot him a look of disbelief. This wasn’t happening.
    “’Tis the truth.” Donnall turned around to face her, his hand on his heart.
    “You’re not marrying my sister, barbarian !” Carter lunged forward grabbing for Donnall but Fionn pulled him back at the last minute.
    “Carter, violence will not help the situation.” Fionn wrapped his arms around his lover.
    The hell it wouldn’t. Cadence sighed. “Carter, stop.”
    “I’m trying to help you here,” Carter fumed.
    “Help me?” You’re the reason I’m in this mess!” she shrieked.
    “I didn’t send you out riding with bad weather on the horizon. Donnall’s hormones robbed him of his common sense and you got caught in the rain.”
    “I was handling things,” Donnall chimed in at Cadence’s back.
    “We saw exactly how you were handling things.” Fionn deadpanned.
    “Fionn, for fuck’s sake,” Donnall started.
    “Don’t use language like that in front of my sister.” Carter tried to charge forward again, but didn’t get very far with Fionn still holding on to him.
    “SHUT THE FUCK UP!” Cadence bellowed, her voice breaking at the end. Her face was flushed and her chest heaving.
    All three men took a hasty step back, but still looked ready to tear into each other.
    “Carter, how dare you talk to Donnall like that? He’s never been anything but a perfect gentleman to me.”
    Fionn bit his lip and took another step back.
    “It was my fault we
