that pissed her off.
But it had felt so wonderful being held in their arms, being kissed,
being pleasured, being cherished.
Brian’s low chuckle pulled her out of her daydreams. “What’s so
funny?” she asked, trying not to pout like a sullen child and failing miserably.
“You are, Edwina. You say you don’t want a relationship with us,
but then your eyes darken with passion, and your body turns to liquid.
We can all smell your arousal.”
“Oh, for fuck’s sake,” she said, pulling the blanket over her head
feeling completely mortified. “That’s just sex. It has nothing to do
with my choices for the future.”
“So what are your choices for the future?”
“I choose to be warm.”
“Not a problem,” he said as he pulled her into his arms. She
snuggled closer. It didn’t matter how many blankets she had. She
never felt as warm as she did while being held by one of the brothers.
“What else?”
“I don’t know,” she said, feeling really stupid. She wanted more.
She just couldn’t remember it when Brian held her so tightly or when
memories of the way Jake and Kieran had made love to her yesterday
were so close to the surface.
“So the whole seven husbands thing isn’t freaking you out?”
“Why would it freak me out? I have no intention of being your
sweet little wife.” She almost managed to say the words with real
meaning, but then her body betrayed her, and ideas on how seven
husbands could bring her pleasure pulsed through her brain. She
wriggled as she felt her juices dampen the crotch of her oversized,
borrowed pants. She gave Brian a threatening look, but he merely
smiled knowingly and sipped on his coffee.
Edwina and the Seven Snowed-in Scientists

Geez, the way her body was reacting she’d fall into bed with all
seven of them with the slightest provocation. Fuck, maybe she really
was a slut.
“Breakfast is ready,” Jake called from the dining area. The cabin
was quite small, so it wasn’t really necessary to shout, but it did give her a good excuse to concentrate on something other than Brian’s
reactions. Unfortunately, it also meant she didn’t see him turn to lift her into his arms until he actually did it. She thought about fussing but decided it was far nicer not to have to put her feet on the icy tiles. She wore several layers of socks, but without shoes it didn’t really stop the cold floor from seeping through.
He sat her at the table, helped to untangle her hands from the
blanket, and took the seat beside her. Gary came into the room
wearing his customary arrogant smirk. Kieran managed not to scowl
as he took the seat opposite her. Together the five of them ate in
silence.
It wasn’t a comfortable silence. It was wrought with tension and
unspoken words, and by the time Edwina had choked down a piece of
bacon and a bite of toast, she was ready to scream. She was on the
verge of saying something—anything—when the front door burst
open.
All four men were on their feet in an instant.

Chapter Seven
Despite everything that had happened in the last couple of days,
Edwina hadn’t really been expecting a yeti—a very aroused yeti—to
come storming through the door.
It grunted a noise that sounded like the word “mate” and then
headed straight for her. Fear froze her to the spot, and the four men around her bristled in anger, ready to defend her. But as the furry
giant got closer she realized who it was. Calvin looked hell-bent on
getting to her, and as ridiculous as it sounded, she found the sight incredibly arousing.
Gary chuckled and stood back to let the yeti through. As Calvin
grabbed her and draped her over his shoulder like a rag doll, she gave Kieran, Brian, and Jake a startled glare, but they all seemed willing to let Calvin take her.
She let her head rest against his fur covered back as a large hand
rubbed her ass. The sound of purring finally reached her ears, and she realized that
