Chapter Ten

Courtney and Tad strolled hand in hand back into the family room, while Milo stayed in the bedroom making calls. In that moment life was good. She didn’t care that somewhere in the darkness Jeffery might be lurking, all she wanted was to be snuggled with her mates. Her body longed for Milo, but he’d promised he wouldn’t be long.

“A little action to burn off some steam, huh, Tad?” Tate teased, munching on a bowl of popcorn.

“I’ve never known my brother to miss a moment.” Turi chimed in.

“You won’t disgrace a beautiful thing with your immature comments.” Tad let go of her hand and pulled her into him. “Don’t either of you have anything better to do?”

“Not me, I have plans to sit with the newest addition to our family. I have many stories of you I’m sure she’s very interested in hearing.”

“I think you’ve said enough.” Tad glared at his brother; she could see he was trying to push the darkness away. It was clear the thoughts of Rosemarie were coming back to him.

She tapped her hand on his arm, and glanced to Turi. “I’m sure he has happier memories to share. Do you have any embarrassing moments you can tell me about?” A few amusing tales would help lighten the mood.

“I’m afraid now is not the time,” Hazel announced. They turned to find her standing in the doorway.

“What is it, Mom?” Tate set the bowl of popcorn aside.

“They are nearing. If they continue, their arrival will be in twenty minutes. If they veer off the path, it’ll be an hour.”

“They?” Tad slid Courtney in front of him and wrapped his arms tightly around her.

“Your father and another man are on his tail. I don’t believe they will catch him before he gets here. We need to be ready,” Hazel explained.

“We’ll be ready.” Milo stated, coming to join them in the family room. “Courtney, I want you to stay in the study with Hazel. You’ll be safe there and out of direct line if there’s a firefight. The windows are too far off the ground for him to come in that way, leaving only one way.”

“Turi, you’re with the women,” Tad ordered.

“Come on, bro.” Turi complained.

Tad’s body went stiff against her, and his fingers stopped teasing over her forearm. “You might be an ass, but you’re still my brother. I want you safe and I need to know the women are protected. Two birds one stone, that kinda crap. Now I don’t want to hear another complaint.”

“Yes, sir.” Turi quickly stood and saluted him before giving her a wink.

These two were enough to drive her insane. She couldn’t imagine being surrounded by all six of the Brown brothers at once. How had their mother managed when they were young?

“Boys.” Courtney intervened before Tad could do or say anything. She didn’t need him beating the shit out of Turi. “Turi, you can use this time to give me the dirt on Tad.”

“Come along with me, Turi,” Hazel interjected. “There are a few things I’d like to do first and could use your help.
