remember how you got back here?” She nodded warily. She knew what she
remembered. She just wasn’t sure what was delusion and what
wasn’t. “Do you remember how you felt? Did you feel safe?”

Kieran’s heart was in his throat. He wanted to tell Edwina about
them, everything about him and his brothers, but a small part doubted that she would react the way they all hoped. It seemed almost beyond
imagination that four of the seven brothers had fallen so hard for this prickly, annoying woman already, but it was exactly what they’d
done.
Edwina and the Seven Snowed-in Scientists
55
When their fathers had explained the way they would all feel a
connection to one woman, Kieran had literally laughed it off as
legend. Surely it was impossible for all seven brothers, so different in personalities and likes and dislikes, to all fall for the same woman.
Yet here they were. Kieran had absolutely no doubt that Simon, Evan,
and Brian would feel the same for Edwina as he, Jake, Calvin, and
Gary did as soon as they got a chance to know her.
When Edwina finally nodded that she’d felt safe when they’d
carried her back here, the tight grip around Kieran’s chest loosened just a bit.
“Do you remember why you felt safe?” Gary asked.
She looked like she was about to say something really sarcastic,
but at the last moment changed her mind and admitted, “I was
delusional, seeing things that weren’t actually there. I was just glad to feel warm again.”
“Is that all you remember?” Gary asked in a voice that had Kieran
wanting to answer. Jesus, when did his youngest brother get so
dominating?
“No,” she said honestly. She dropped her gaze to the ground and
looked really embarrassed for a moment. But then, of course, the
sassy, outspoken, pain-in-the-ass woman that he was more attracted to each moment finally lost her temper. “What the fuck do you want me
to say? That I wasn’t scared because I figured I was probably already dead? That I dreamed I was carried here by a bunch of abominable
snowmen?”
“We prefer yeti,” Jake chimed in. “Abominable snowman is kind
of insulting.”
She pushed herself onto her feet and began pacing back and forth.
“I don’t give a flying fuck what you prefer. I was delusional and not thinking clearly, and there is no such thing as abominable snowmen,
so I can’t insult something that doesn’t exist. It must’ve been you and your brothers carrying me back here because everyone else I know
probably thinks I’m dead.”

It was quite an impressive speech for a woman who was
completely and utterly naked. She’d obviously forgotten her sans-
clothing status under the blanket as she poured out her frustrations. It was kind of easy to forget that this woman actually hated the cold. If she hadn’t crashed her helicopter, she’d likely be flying back to a
warmer climate at this very moment, and they probably would’ve
never met her.
As her words finally ran out, she shivered and glanced down at
her unclothed body. With a squawk of complete embarrassment, she
tried to pull the material more firmly into place, managing only to
drop it even further. Kieran felt his cock leap at the sight of her tightly beaded nipples. His yeti side definitely chose for her to be their mate.
Convincing her, however, was liable to be another matter entirely.
Jake helped her to lift the blanket higher, wrapped her tightly and
pulled her into his embrace. He sat on the edge of his bed and nodded to Kieran to show her their true form. “Show her,” Gary said by way
of agreement. Kieran nodded, but he couldn’t help hoping that Jake
had a tight enough hold on the woman to prevent her from kicking
him in the balls as he revealed their secret.

Edwina felt safe here. Despite her little tantrum of a minute ago,
she truly felt no fear of these men. But she was stubborn enough not
to let them know. Trust once given was
remembered. She just wasn’t sure what was delusion and what
wasn’t. “Do you remember how you felt? Did you feel safe?”
