his hands away from her but stopped .  For that one moment in time she decided to take what he was offering and leaned back into his embrace.  She laid her head on his shoulder while he continued to nuzzle her neck and kiss down to her shoulder as he rubbed his very impressive erection against her backside.  She closed her eyes and allowed herself to relish in the wonderful feelings he was stirring. 
    Suddenly they heard a throat clear and Kira jerked out of Ronan's arms .  She turned to see Erin standing there with a grin on her face.  Ronan had positioned himself behind her, probably to hide his erection, she noted. 
    "I was just grabbing the bread ," Erin said, trying to hide a laugh.
    "I can take it ," Ronan said to her.
    Erin shook her head .  "No, I think you have your hands full.  I got it." She took the basket with the bread and breezed back into the dining room.
    Kira turned to Ronan and as he opened his mouth to say something, she held up her hand, silencing him .  They heard laughter break out in the dining room and Kira winced.  Yep, Erin had tattled on her.  Damn it.   Kira glared at Ronan, then took her glass and headed into the dining room.  She was ready to take what was about to be dished out, knowing that it wouldn't be food.

Chapter Eight
     
     
    Luckily for Kira, her grandmother had shushed her sisters as the men joined them for dinner .  Kira knew her face was flaming when both Ronan and Brendan gave her an extra long look when they sat down on either side of her.  Ari and her men were absent, for good reason.  Calli had taken a tray up and set it outside their door earlier.  The rest of them enjoyed the chicken parmesan.  It was one of Kira's favorites.
    When dinner was over, the men volunteered to clean up and the women went into the living room .  Their grandmother had saved a couple of bottles of white wine from the wedding and now passed out the filled glasses to all the women.  They sat around talking of the wedding and the good parts of it.  Julie recounted the bouquet toss and Erin's leap to catch it.  That set off Calli and Sheela as they began to tease Erin, asking her when she would tie the knot with her men.  Erin just rolled her eyes.  Kira knew if Erin had her way, they would elope.  She wasn't one to have all the fuss of a big wedding. 
    Kira had enjoyed watching her sisters banter back and forth with each other .  It was nice to see after all they had been through lately.  At one point she had even caught her grandmother's eye and saw that she too was taking in the joy of the moment.  For the first time since before the wedding, Kira took a deep breath.
    After the men had finished cleaning up, Myles and Aedan came to steal Erin away, saying they wanted to take her on a moonlit walk.  Their grandmother excused herself, telling them she was going to bed.  She was tired from all the stress with the wedding and Kira's kidnapping.  Julie excused herself as well, she was leaving in the morning to fly back to New York.  Calli and Sheela looked at Kira who was sitting in between Ronan and Brendan.  They suddenly decided they had planned to watch a movie in Calli's room.  Kira rolled her eyes at them and then stuck her tongue out.  They laughed and headed upstairs with a bowl of popcorn. 
    As silence came over the living room, Kira couldn't stand it, she stood and said, "Well , I guess I will turn in too."
    Brendan stood up beside her, grabbing her hand.  "Wait.  We wanted to speak with you for a moment."
    Kira paused and then pulled her hand from his to cross her arms .  "Okay.  What is it?"
    Ronan stood as well and then he simply bent at the waist and picked Kira up, carrying her out the main entrance .  Kira was pounding him on the back and kicking her legs.  Ronan reached up, swatted her on her ass, and ordered, "Keep still."
    She stopped moving and then began to grumble at both of them .  She knew Brendan was there as well because as she swung
