sip. Erin was next as she tucked the blankets in on either side of Calli as she laid back on the pillows. Erin even added the tickling she used to and Calli giggled then hugged her.
Ari was last to step up as Kira and Erin took their places at the end of their bed. Ari always told Calli a story and it seemed that tonight she was not going to disappoint. Kira's love for her sisters flowed through her as she looked around at them all sitting on the bed as they used to do.
"Once upon a time, in a land far away..." Ari always began her stories the same way.
The sisters all settled in to hear Ari's story, a story that they hadn't heard in a long time . A story of a little princess who had four older sisters who played with her and two loving parents who adored her.
Chapter Nine
The next morning, Kira exited her room to find Brendan and Ronan standing in the hall waiting for her. In moments, they surrounded her with their strong, muscular bodies to envelope her in their heat. Brendan was in front of her and he leaned in to kiss her good morning. When he pulled back, it seemed he had taken her ability to breathe with him. His eyes gleamed knowingly as he looked into her eyes.
"How did you sleep, dearling?" Ronan growled in her ear as he ran his hands down her back and leaned over to kiss the side of her neck.
Kira leaned back into him. "I slept very well, thank you. And you?"
Ronan 's lips touched her ear and she shivered as he said, "It was a restless night for both of us." He pulled her back more firmly against him where she could feel his need for her without words.
"Come, sweetling, let's go get some breakfast ," Brendan said to her as he reached out his hand.
She placed her hand in his and then Ronan took her other hand as they led her down to the dining room . She knew if her body had its way, it wouldn't be long before she was in their bed, but her mind struggled with the knowledge that she was sorely lacking in that area. She certainly didn't want to disappoint them, knowing she had very little experience. She also reminded herself that she had a mission ahead of her, according to Calli's spirit, and one of her own making.
As they entered the dining room, Kira noted almost everyone was there, it seemed Ari and her men were running late . Kira walked over and gave her grandmother a kiss on her cheek, telling her good morning. She turned to find a seat only to see her men standing by their seats with an empty seat in between them. Ronan was holding it out for her. She heard her sisters snicker as she rolled her eyes and sat down. The next thing she knew Brendan had put a plate heaping with food in front of her. Then Ronan placed a cup of coffee in front of her, which she gratefully began to drink.
As the conversation flowed around her, Kira concentrated on eating her breakfast . She had to begin planning what her next move was going to be in her commitment to finding who was out to hurt her family. She needed to talk to her grandmother in private after breakfast , she thought, she might be able to help her . Her ears perked up as she saw Ari, Reilly, and Lachlan enter, they seemed to be having a disagreement.
"There will be no arguing, we leave on schedule, luv," Reilly said firmly to Ari as he pulled out her chair.
Ari looked down as she sat but grumbled, "I don't see why we can't put it off for a little while."
Kira saw Lachlan place his arm around the back of Ari's chair and lean down to whisper in her ear. She watched Ari's face turn a lovely shade of pink and then Ari nodded to whatever Lachlan said.
"Then it's settled, we leave on time ," Lachlan said a little louder and then nodded at Reilly.
Kira frowned and caught Ari's eye . She raised her eyebrow at her sister, silently inquiring if she was okay. Ari leaned forward and said, "I was telling the guys that maybe we should put off our honeymoon, just for a little while, due to everything
