Chapter Eight
     
    Izzy hit the ground hard near the stable. “What the fuck!” Her voice came out in a breathless rush. A hard male body lay over hers, pinning her to the spongy grass.
    Connor lay on top of Izzy, shielding her body with his own. “Stay still.”
    That wasn’t hard to do. Muscular ridges and planes held her in place. “Was that a gun shot?” At first she told herself it was just a car backfiring, but when Connor launched himself at her to protect her, she knew he wasn’t jumping her bones in lust.
    “Yes.”
    His hot breath against her ear made her shiver. Sudden thoughts of him and Sinyn sharing a woman made her shiver. What would two men fucking her feel like? That Sinyn condoned it made it even more illicit and exciting.
    “You’re safe with me, Izzy.”
    Probably better he thinks I’m scared and not turned on. “Er, yeah, thanks for coming to my rescue, Connor.” Focus on the threat of danger and not wondering if he was indeed ‘happy to see her’. Dicks had a way of making their presence felt regardless of timing. Focus, woman, you already have one dick in your life. Though two every now and then would be fun . “Someone was shooting at me?”
    “Aye, Anthony and his bitch of a wife.”
    Only the Irish could make ‘bitch’ sound romantic. “You saw them?” Izzy had been oblivious to all. She had gone for a walk after her bathtub interlude with Sinyn. He had planned to go with her, but Inis Daire duty called him elsewhere. And that was okay. Izzy wanted more of a chance to walk around and see what Inis Daire had to offer. Though possible death wasn’t something she expected.
    Connor lifted up from her. “No, but Katie has told everyone to watch them as she knows they will try to do you harm.”
    Izzy shivered and thought of her baby. This was no longer just about her. She was carrying her son and the future of Inis Daire. Talk about complicated one-night stands.
    Sinyn ran to them. He picked her up in his arms and held her tight. “I was crossing the field to come to you and I heard the shots. Are you alright?”
    The fierce concern in his eyes made her feel all girly. “You can put me down.” He held her in his arms like he never wanted to let her go. At that moment Izzy acknowledged what she had been fighting. Love. It was hard to be rational when you were falling in love.
    Sinyn placed her feet on the ground but kept a firm hold on her. “It had to be Anthony.” His eyes were locked on Connor. “He could never shoot for shit.”
    That he couldn’t was great for her, but what if he’d hit someone else? “I’m putting people in danger staying her, Sinyn.”
    “No you’re not.” He walked her into the stables. Connor followed. “Sit down.” He gently urged her to a large mound of hay.
    “We need to check who saw what,” Connor told Sinyn. “Someone would have seen something.”
    The hay felt soft and smelled sweet beneath her ass. She relaxed back into it. Izzy felt the two men looking at her. “What?”
    Sinyn smiled. “You look so lovely.”
    Connor nodded. “Aye.”
    Two horny men stood before her, obvious bulges in their pants. It was crazy to think, just after being shot at, that her mind could turn so swiftly to sex. With two men. Was it a natural reaction to want to live life after a near miss? Or am I just horny as hell? There was also the attraction of being with two men who sought nothing more than to please her sexually. What would that feel like?
    Izzy looked at Sinyn, her feelings were complicated. She loved him, needed him, and yet she was uncertain were she stood in his life. Would he be wanting her without the baby? She would have been lying if she said that hadn’t crossed her mind. Then there was the fact that Sinyn saw her enjoying another man as no big deal. He encouraged her to do it if she
