CHAPTER 4

B rodie looked over at the door when his childhood best friend walked into the cabin. Angus quickly knocked the snow off his boots and as he took his snow suit off.

“Found her bags.” Angus announced as he held them up after hanging his snow jacket up.

“Any i.d.?” Brodie from his spot in the floor, his back relaxing against the base of the couch.

“Aye. Her name is Bethany Carter. Looks like she is from the United States. Some place called Lakeland, Kentucky.”

“Does she have a phone or anything showing where she was going in this mess?” Brodie asked as he looked over at the sleeping Jack who was curled up with the now resting peacefully Bethany.

“Aye. Looks like it’s dead though. I’ll charge it up some to see what it tells us.” Angus confirmed as he pulled out her cell and charger.

“Let’s get some more logs for the fire so it doesn’t go down. That storm looks worse than they predicted for us. I wouldn’t be surprised if we lost power. How did the generator look?” Angus asked as he looked over at Brodie.

“It’ll hold up for a couple of days if we lose power. There’s also a backup generator to the original one if that one isn’t working. If all else fails, then we have the wood stove to keep us warm, plenty of food and water.” A sleepy Jack answered as he moved to stretch.

“Good. I’m going to bed.” Angus walked out of the room.

“He’s not a happy camper. She wasn’t a planned distraction.” Brodie nodded towards a sleeping Beth.

“She wasn’t for any of us.” Jack reminded Brodie. “It was strictly a guy’s week get-away from the hell of our world.”

“Aye. And the shite with LeAnna didn’t help any. Especially the shite she tried to pull when it didn’t work with me.” Brodie sighed as he rubbed his face with his hands.

“Wait, what the hell are you talking about?” Jack moved away from the sleeping figure and turned towards Brodie.

“When LeAnna didn’t get what she wanted with me, she turned her claws onto Angus. Claiming that he forced himself on her when she refused his advances because she was in love with me and that’s truly how she got pregnant. I told the Lt. Colonel to use the DNA test that was taken for me and the kid to compare it to Angus’s. When he asked for the date, she claims this happened, we had been deployed on that date for a month.” Brodie informed his friends.

“What the fuck? This bitch is demented. What did Stolens say when he realized what she was doing?”

“Had the coo escorted out of the building. Called the front gate and told them once she left the base if she came back, she was to be arrested and thrown in the brig. He’s making some calls about getting her charged with false claims. Seems we aren’t the only ones she’s made false claims about. Had one lad on the hook for months during the pregnancy.”

“Jesus! Charlie needs to be told what this harlot is doing. He needs to start protecting his customers.” Jack shook his head as he got up to go into the kitchen.

“Aye. Angus and I stopped by the pub and told him what was going on since she’s a regular there. He’s also letting his people know the woman isn’t allowed in the pub either. He’s also going to make sure some of the other pubs know what she’s about to protect themselves too.”

“I can see why Angus is not happy about this wee lass here. Why don’t you go get in the bed, Brodie. I will watch over this lass tonight and hopefully in the morning we can figure out what the hell is going on with her.”

Brodie leaned his head back against the cushions of the couch and closed his eyes slightly.

The last week had been a rough week for him. He was just glad it was over and there wasn’t a lot of bloodshed.

He didn’t know if he or Angus would ever be able to trust a woman after what this woman did to the both of them. But damn if this Bethany chick didn’t make his cock stir slightly.

Shite! He hadn’t been laid in three years thanks to that woman and their deployments. His cock hadn’t really been interested in a woman for a long time.

Hell, his cock wasn’t really interested in LeAnna which is why she had been so disappointed in him that night. It’s why he knew that the wee lad wasn’t even his.

His cock wouldn’t get hard for her. He had put it down to the fact he had been drunk off his arse.

LeAnna was a looker, but his cock just hadn’t been interested. Now, sitting here with Bethany a few feet away, his damn cock decided he wanted to wake up.

Brodie took a deep breath trying to control his cock. Getting up from his spot, he put a few more logs in the stove and walked out of the room as quickly as he could without giving the sleeping Beth a glance.

Getting into the shower, he leaned his head against the tile as he took his cock into his hand. He began stroking as he remembered the feel of her body in his arms as he helped Jack get her warmed up.

He thought about her lying on the floor next to him, how her ass felt plush against his cock, his arms around her body. Her plump belly in his hand as he pulled her back against him to let his warmth seep into hers.

Fuck! It didn’t take long for him to come against the tile wall as he thought about her. Yes, they needed to figure out who she was and get her the hell out of here before he did something stupid.
