Chapter Three

Jocelyn stood in the middle of the room for several more heartbeats before her legs finally obeyed the command to move. She hurried around to the other side of the bed. Thank God the bed was large. She sat down on the mattress, her back to Broderick, and didn’t move.

What was she supposed to do now? The mattress shifted. She jumped to her feet and whirled. Broderick stood, back to her, and slipped his great plaid from over his shoulder, then began unbuttoning his shirt. He sluffed the shirt off and she felt her eyes go wide at sight of the broad expanse of muscled flesh. He tugged the belt free of its clasp, tossed it onto a nearby chair, then began to unwind his plaid from around his body. Jocelyn dove beneath the covers and faced the wall.

Jocelyn peeked over the top of the blanket and drew in a sharp breath at sight of his naked buttocks. God have mercy, the man was a chiseled god. He reached the door, slammed the drawbar aside, then yanked the door open. Her father, his companions, Broderick’s three brothers and their wives stood outside.

“Devil’s balls, Broderick,” his brother Connor cursed. “Put on some clothes.”

“A man is supposed to be naked on his wedding night,” he said.

His eldest brother stepped into the room and closed the door. “What happened?”
