Chapter Ten

Andrea woke up alone in Kenneth’s bed. There was safety in the weight of the covers on her legs, in the quiet of the room. In the haze between wake and sleep, she wasn’t sure which was the dream world. The smell of him lingered on the pillow. Light streamed in through the window and the flames in the fireplace had died.

There was something to be said about the aftermath of sex. With the tension eased from her body, she’d been able to fall into a deep sleep, which helped her stress levels come down immensely. She could say without a doubt this was the best she’d felt since before that night in the swamp.

As reality trickled over the dream, she became more fully aware of her surroundings. Kenneth had left folded clothes on the dresser for her. The jeans and stylish gray sweater weren’t hers, but they fit perfectly. After her shower the night before, her hair had dried into a mass of curls. She combed her fingers through the locks, fluffing them so they looked even.

When she opened the door, she wasn’t sure what would greet her on the other side.

“Hey, Ken, do ya have the stain remover?”

A man approached looking down at his naked stomach. His skin was dyed a dark shade of blue and his hair green. He wore a kilt and nothing else, revealing that the coloring most likely covered all of his body.

“I opened a new soap and our wench of a sister left me a present.” The man glanced up and stumbled in surprise. “Ken? Did Malina get to ya too?”

“I’m not Ken,” Andrea said.

“What?” The man appeared surprised. “Ya mean…” He grinned, trying to look behind her toward the bed. “He here?”

Andrea shook her head.

“Was he here?”

“Hi. I’m Andrea.” She stopped his inquiry before it became any more awkward.

“Oh, sorry, I’m Erik. Kenneth’s brother.” Erik grinned. Something caught his attention, and he glanced down the hall. “Rory, come here.”

“I’ve heard of blue balls, but that’s taking it to another level. What did ya do to piss Lydia off?” Rory asked.

“Kenneth has a woman,” Erik said.

“It’s not official. I still have a chance.” Rory appeared next to Erik, his teasing smile fading. “Or not.”

“Morning, Rory,” Andrea said.

“Hey, Andrea. Tell me I’m not too late.” Rory gave a dramatic sigh.

“Sorry, it’s not going to happen,” Erik said for her, pushing Rory back the way he came. “We told ya, you’re just not lovable.”

“What do ya know, Captain Blue Balls?” Rory waved his hand in Erik’s face as he came back to the door. “Ya only found someone because Lydia clearly did something bad in a past life that she needs to atone for in this one by marrying ya.”

“Jealousy is never pretty, cousin.” Erik slapped Rory’s shoulder, before calling out, “Iain, come here. Meet Kenneth’s woman.”

“Ya are not supposed to refer to women like that,” Iain’s voice answered.

“It does make ya sound like a caveman,” Rory agreed.

“Andrea, my apologies,” Erik said. “Fellas, this is Andrea, she’s Kenneth’s lady.
