her climb down the path since she was barefoot. When they were halfway down and the path had become wider, Ronan swung her up in his arms and carried her the rest of the way down. She had had no choice but to wrap her arms around his neck, and then for pure pleasure had sunk her fingers into his hair. His steps had faltered when she had done that little trick and she had smirked at him, giving as good as she got.
As they reached the bottom, she heard Reilly's voice, "Thank the gods you are okay."
Ronan stood her carefully on her feet and suddenly she was wrapped in Reilly's arms. "I'm okay. They didn't hurt me," Kira told Reilly and Lachlan as they both continued to hug her to them. She thought she heard the two men behind her growl but then ignored them as she relished in being saved.
"Let's get you home ," Lachlan told her as they kept her between the two of them, ignoring the grunts and growls from Ronan and Brendan.
As they began to walk, Kira took her first step and gasped as she stepped on rocks with her bare feet . All four men stopped in their tracks and then Lachlan knelt down so she could climb on his back for her first piggyback ride as an adult. It had been years since she had done such a thing and she giggled. Just then, they heard an eagle cry from above and Kira looked up, smiling and waving.
"Why are you waving at an eagle?" Ronan questioned her.
"That's Calli, she is making sure you found me and don't need any help," Kira explained with a smirk to Reilly and Lachlan. "She has been working on that move and she seems to have it down now."
Reilly laughed . "At least your sisters will stop worrying about you and us now."
"And now they won't try to come out here to help ," Lachlan grumbled.
"Infernal women, always running off when they should stay put ," Reilly stated.
Kira turned to him and stuck her tongue out . "You better watch that tongue, lass," Ronan all but growled at her.
Kira rolled her eyes as Reilly and Lachlan laughed at Ronan and Brendan's discomfort. They knew what was going on, it was obvious and they wondered how long it would take before they declared their intentions to Coni. Reilly shook his head, knowing what the two men he admired were in for being involved with the sisters. It was going to be hell, that was the only explanation.
Reilly had a soft spot for Kira out of all the other sisters . She was a beautiful woman, she stood at about five foot eight with long brown hair that fell in waves to her waist. Her hazel eyes with gold flecks could draw you in and at the same time seem to look into your soul. Reilly also felt an affinity with Kira for her love of geology. He was a closet geologist himself and he found himself chatting a lot about that subject with his new sister. Her knowledge fascinated him, Kira may be beautiful but people underestimated her intelligence, she was one smart cookie in his book. Now all Reilly wanted to do was return to their new wife and commence with the honeymoon.
Lachlan hefted Kira higher on his back, adjusting his arms under her knees . He was so happy to be carrying her back safely to his wife. Their wife. Ari was their wife now and he could actually think about that and grin. He was grateful Kira was unharmed and knew they would have to deal with this threat head on soon. This could not keep happening to the sisters. He thought about the two Guardians with them and wished them luck with Kira. Everyone always heard what she did, working in geology, and thought she was boring. It couldn't be further from the truth, Kira was a spitfire. Lachlan grinned as he thought about the future and watching these men try to capture Kira. It was going to be fun.
Ronan walked along behind Lachlan watching that Kira was steady on his back . 'No, you are watching her ass,' his brother snorted.
'Fuck off, you were doing the same thing ,' Ronan answered.
'It is one nice ass ,' Brendan
