of this dress."
    As she turned to go out of the kitchen, she felt a presence behind her and turned back .  Both Brendan and Ronan were right behind her and halted as she turned.  She frowned as she looked at them and they scowled right back at her.
    "Why are you following me?" Kira demanded, putting her hands on her hips.
    "We are coming with you," Ronan stated matter-of-factly. 
    "Oh no you are not ," Kira said firmly.
    "Gentlemen," Coni interrupted before a fight could break out .  When the two men turned to her, she continued, "You will find that your rooms are on either side of Kira's.  Myles took your things to your rooms.  You might want to refresh yourselves as well."
    Ronan bowed to her grandmother and said, "Thank you, Coni, you are very kind."
    "That sounds great.  We will just see Kira to her door then," Brendan said as he too bowed.
    Coni inclined her head and smiled then she looked at Kira .  "Rest now, Kira.  We will talk later.  I will send Sheela up with some food."
    Kira smiled gratefully at her grandmother .  "Thank you, Mamo."
    They climbed the stairs in silence, Kira was beginning to feel the weight of her ordeal .  She felt tired and hungry all at the same time.  When she approached her door, she turned to her two Guardians and said, "Thank you for all you did to help rescue me."
    As she went to turn back to open her door, Ronan reached out and cupped her cheek .  He leaned in and placed a kiss softly on her lips.  It was quick and fleeting, but she felt it all the way to her toes.  Just as she drew a breath, Brendan was there and he also leaned in for a kiss.  Brendan's kiss was demanding, plundering her mouth, almost as if he wanted to assure himself she was really okay.  When he pulled back, she was breathing heavily and couldn't seem to focus very well.  She closed her eyes to gather herself for a minute and when she opened them, she saw equally satisfied grins on the men's faces. 
    She blew out a frustrated breath and went through the door to her room, firmly shutting it behind her .  She heard chuckles from the men, then footsteps as they headed to their rooms on either side of her.  She frowned, Sheela had been staying in the room next to her.  She must have moved when the Guardians had arrived.  She wanted to speak to her sister as to why she moved, they could have taken rooms further down.  She shrugged off that thought for now and headed to her bathroom.
    Stepping out of the shower, she heard a knock at her door and knew it would be Sheela with some food .  She called out for her to come in and dried off quickly.  She grabbed her robe on the back of the door and headed back into her bedroom.  She loved her bedroom, it was painted in a lavender color with the curtains made of lace.  She had a king sized bed along with a large dresser and small sitting area.  As a young teenager, Kira had been really into books, still was, so her grandmother had gotten her two comfortable chairs with a table in between for her sitting area.  It was cozy and Kira loved to hang out there in her downtime. 
    Sh e saw Sheela had set a tray down on the small table full of leftover food from the wedding and was now sitting in one of the chairs.  Kira smiled, noting the fact that Sheela had not chosen Kira's favorite spot, the chair that faced the large window in her room.  Kira took her seat and began to pick at the food.
    "So," Sheela said with a knowing grin .  "What's up?"
    Kira burst out laughing, leave it to Sheela to try to get the information Kira knew Erin and Calli were waiting on.  Ari was probably waiting on an update text from Erin as well.  Kira decided she would keep them all guessing for as long as she could.  She had a purpose now and she had to see it through.
    "Nothing much, Ari got married, I was abducted and then rescued .  That seems to be about it," Kira said and then narrowed her eyes at Sheela.  "Except that you seem to have moved rooms." Then she raised her
