after all. Hell, it was too late now.  
    “He was tall and
muscular with dark skin; really tanned like he spent a lot of time outdoors.
It’s strange, but he was so captivating that I can’t really remember the exact details,
except his eyes. His eyes were extraordinary, the most vibrant blue and he
looked...” I stopped, glancing up as the kitchen door flew open. I stood there
for a second, immobilised; open mouthed and staring hard as everyone followed my
gaze to the figure in the doorway.
    “He looked exactly
like that,” I whispered. Jess glanced at me with a stunned expression on her
face as the deafening shouts of “Roman” echoed through the room.   Tyler flung his arms around the handsome
stranger, almost knocking him stumbling backwards into the hall.
    “You came,” he
gasped as Roman looked at Lucas, then Charlie until his eyes settled finally on
me, a small smirk curving the side of his mouth.
    “We thought you
weren’t coming,” Lucas smiled, moving to hug his brother, patting him hard on the
back and pulling away as Roman shifted his gaze to Charlie and the smirk was
gone.
    “Charlie?” he said
as Charlie looked away, and Roman’s dark brows pinched together as he glanced
across at Lucas. The tense atmosphere was broken by Tyler, who looked relieved
and happy.
    “I knew you’d come
back.”
    “I needed to check
for myself that the bastard was actually dead,” he smiled at Tyler as Charlie
glared at him, every muscle tensing in his body, hands balled into giant fists.
    “Let’s take this
through to the study,” Lucas announced firmly, ushering Tyler and Roman out of
the kitchen as Charlie followed behind, looking furious and not remotely happy
to see his prodigal brother. Jess grabbed my elbow.
    “Roman is your
thunderbolt?” she gasped, eyeing me intently as a nervous laugh escaped my
lips.
      “It would appear so, Sis,” I whispered as she
shook her head in disbelief. She wasn’t alone. Oh my God. I had no clue what
was coming next, how this thing might pan out or what the weekend would bring.
The only thing I was certain of; that I wanted to know more about Roman Hunter.

 
    CHAPTER TWO
    “Do you think we
should leave them to it?” she asked in a hushed tone and we padded down the
hall as I looked around at the immaculate decor. The house was incredible, full
of character and artfully stylish as I stopped momentarily, holding her gaze.
    “Hell no! These
boys aren’t shy. If they don’t want us there, they’ll let us know, but I for
one want to know what is going on here. Charlie was ice-cold in that kitchen.
Do you think it’s got anything to do with what I just said?”
    “Self absorbed
much?” Jess smiled, shaking her head, holding my arm to still me for a second.
“Something’s gone down between Roman and Charlie, but I don’t know what it is.
I’ve wanted to ask Lucas, but there never seems to be a right time.” Now I was
even more intrigued to find out the back story on the mysterious, sexy Hunter
brother.
    We followed them into
the study, still in a state of shock, taking a seat on the hard green leather
antique couch and accepting the brandy that Lucas had poured.
    This was the last
thing I’d been expecting.
    Everyone was sitting
down, with the exception of Roman who was leaning casually against the wall,
looking just as delectable as he had in that graveyard. I took in every inch of
his carved muscular frame and that remarkable face. Even in the midst of his
gorgeous siblings he stood out, and I sipped my brandy, trying to gather myself
and quench my bone dry mouth.
    “I’m surprised you
have the nerve to show your face around here,” Charlie spat, eyeing his brother
with disdain as I looked on in silence, puzzled at the animosity and wondering
what the hell had happened between them. Roman laughed gently, flashing a
beautiful white smile and I flushed uncharacteristically as he glanced in my
direction.
    “I wasn’t planning
on coming,
