Chapter Ten

CADE HAD MANAGED to keep things quiet until the next morning, when Adam related an overheard rumor at the breakfast table.

“She said what?” Dean shouted.

Logan turned to Cade. “Is this true?”

Cade sighed. “Unfortunately, it is.”

His six brothers stared back at him, incredulous.

“I know. It’s bad.” Cade took a deep breath. “Luckily, I smoothed things over with the couple. All I needed to do was comp the honeymoon cabin.”

Ethan covered his face with one hand.

“That’s just what we need right now,” Dean said, “less money.”

Cade held back a growl. “You weren’t there. That bride was awful.”

“It doesn’t matter. She could ask you to set up a dais for a human sacrifice, and you should say you’ll see what you can do.”

“Since you think you can do a better job, how about you take point at the next wedding?”

“I can’t believe this,” Jake said. “You’re actually defending her?”

Adam stabbed a fork into his eggs. “Cade’s gone soft for her. Isn’t that why you only interviewed one person for this job?”

“She was the only person who showed up to interview!” This was beginning to feel like so many childhood arguments—six against one.

“At least she didn’t say the bride was fat,” Sawyer said. “There’s no coming back from that.”

“This is only the second wedding she’s photographed,” Cade said, “and she made a mistake. I’m sure she won’t make it again.”

Adam crossed his arms. “She shouldn’t get a chance to make that big of a mistake again, because you should fire her.”

This time, Cade did growl. “I’m not firing her.”

“Oh, I’m sorry. I thought you wanted the lodge to make money, not lose it all.”

“Adam…” Cade’s bear was close to the surface, roaring to protect his mate. They couldn’t fight here, but if he got mad enough, his bear wouldn’t care.

“He’s right, Cade,” Ethan said. “How can we trust her now?”

The words were like a knife in his gut. Not even Ethan was on his side. He was alone.

“She’s a great photographer,” Cade said in low, measured tones to try and avoid riling his bear. “She made a mistake that she won’t repeat. We won’t find another photographer as good as she is.”

“We don’t need a great photographer,” Dean said. “We need someone who won’t piss off our guests.”

“Do you want the job, then? Any of you?” Cade stared at each of them in turn. “Do you want to have to deal with a bride’s insane demands? Do you want to make sure you don’t miss moments that can never be replicated? Do you even know how to edit photos?”

“I don’t mean one of us,” Dean muttered. “We should just get another photographer.”

“Great. Then put out an ad. Interview candidates. Draw up a contract for them.”

Dean shifted uncomfortably in his seat. “I don’t have time for that.”

“Neither do I,” Cade snapped. “But since I’m the one setting up the new lift system, you’ll have to find a new photographer if you’re so unhappy.”

“Damn, Cade,” Adam said. “Did you actually sit on a beehive this time? Is that why I hear buzzing?”

Cade fixed him with an unflappable stare.
