Chapter Ten

Juniper moaned in utter pleasure, sinking down into the hot bubbly water, soothing past aches from her work and the nice kind of soreness, keeping the memory of Andy's and Hamish's touch at the forefront of her mind. She couldn't remember the last time she'd been able to indulge in such luxury. Once again, her life—unexpectedly had taken a sharp turn.

Surely normal women didn't find themselves in bed with two insanely handsome men, who could turn into Panthers, and promise their eternal devotion, within a day.

Her head still spun with meeting more shifting men also promising protection. It felt so surreal, a fanciful dream, in which she would soon wake up and find herself still hiding in her rundown place, struggling daily just to survive.

Hell, being honest with herself, she didn't want to wake up. She wanted more than anything for the nightmare to be over and have safety, security and freedom from fear. There was an added bonus of having two handsome men, doting on her, proving their words by their actions and the desire burning in their eyes.

They claimed she was their mate. Seeing and believing in shape shifting men was one thing but eternal devotion was another. Could they really be hers for the rest of her life?

Her sigh echoed in the spacious white bathroom. When it all boiled down to the quick, what choice did she have but to trust them? Other than run again. No, she didn't want to run, she had nowhere to go. Here she could be safe, have a home and protection, good food in her belly and hopefully a new relationship, which would grow beyond a physical attraction. She snorted at the silly thoughts in her head. Already she was in deep, feeling more for the Brown brothers than she should.

With his sensitive shifter hearing, Andy heard the water running in the bath. They'd retreated to the kitchen to talk. Anger still simmered in his gut. Seeing the tightly clenched jaw of his bother, he knew they were both on the same page.

Hamish pulled items out of the fridge. He handed a bag of potatoes to Andy, while Hamish handled the steaks. Andy plopped them on the counter and grabbed a knife. His grip tightened on the shiny handle as he remembered Juniper's story. He glanced at his brother.

"You don't think she'll try to sneak out do you?"

Hamish set the steaks on the bench top next to the grill plate.

"I think after everything we've put her through in the past twenty four hours, a little trust on our side will go a long way."

Andy grunted, tossing one spud down onto the oven tray before picking up another. "I still want to hunt down that fucker of a dad and gut him."

Listening to Juniper tell her story had been a lesson in self-control. But her comfort and care was more important than any revenge they wanted to extract.

"Trust me; I want to hold the fucker down while you gut him.
