“Winnie, there’s no reason to be embarrassed.” Jason’s voice came loud and clear through the door.

Winnie leaned against the bunkhouse door, unwilling to open it. Yet, aching to do exactly that. A pool of water puddled at her feet, but she couldn’t change into dry clothes yet. Not while they were still trying to get her to open the door. Somehow, she’d made it back to the bunkhouse without them catching up to her. Or maybe they’d simply had the good sense to let her go ahead of them. But now they seemed even more determined to talk to her.

She was still embarrassed. Still embarrassed and angry and confused. Having them standing outside the door wasn’t helping. “Give me a break, okay? Just go away.”

“We’re the ones who fucked up, doll. We shouldn’t have shown up the way we did.”

Shane was right about that. Who expected two men to suddenly appear out of the water? Especially two nude me? Two amazingly sexy nude men? “Just go away.”

“Sugar, please open the door. We need to talk,” added Jason.

“No, we don’t.” What did they want to talk about, anyway? About what a fool she’d been to go out in a rowboat with a man she didn’t know? About how she’d gone off the deep end and let them have it?

Damn it. Why couldn’t I have acted cool and just let it go? Couldn’t I have laughed it off? Yet they were the ones who’d gotten upset first. And didn’t I have the right to give them hell? Not so much Danny, but definitely the other two.

She couldn’t face them. Not yet anyway. Not until she’d sorted out her feelings.

“Listen, Winnie, we’re acting like idiots, but we can’t help it. It’s because…we want you. It’s that simple.” Shane’s tone was gruff, filled with need.

She turned and put her hand against the rough surface of the door as though she could touch them.

Damn it. How do they have such a hold over me?

She tried to keep quiet, tried to keep from telling them the truth. “I want you, too,” she whispered. So why wasn’t she letting them in? What was making her hold back when all she really wanted to do was to open the door and beg them to make love to her?

“What’d you say, sugar?”

How Jason heard her? Had Danny and Shane, too? But how could they have heard a whisper through a thick door?

“I said…” She paused, wanting to tell them how much she wanted them. “I said that I’ll talk to you tomorrow.”

“Talk to us now,” urged Danny. “Is Bree there? If she is, we could go somewhere else to talk.”

She paused, frowning. Was Bree still inside the house? Were Bree and the men watching the Landerson men make a scene?

She closed her eyes, her hand sliding toward the handle. Yet when she caught her reflection in the reflective surface of the mirror on the wall, she froze.

I really do look like a wet rat.

“No. Tomorrow. Bree’s still asleep.
