Duncan turned so he could give Kate a hand and noticed she was standing behind the couch and looking a little unsettled. She shifted on her feet and glanced at the floor. He didn’t let it discourage him. Instead, he walked toward Kate with a big smile on his face.
“Hi, Kate, I’m Duncan. I’m glad to finally meet Kayla’s sisters.”
Kate smiled shyly at him from under her big eyelashes and nodded. “Hi, Duncan. Nice to meet you too.”
Duncan had to strain his ears and was surprised that for such a beautiful woman, Kate would come across as a shy little mouse.
He remembered he had some open buttons still, and he swiftly buttoned the rest of his shirt. Kayla looked at him with undisguised heat in her eyes. She looked good enough to eat, standing there licking her bottom lip. She was wearing a dark blue halter dress that flared at her tiny waist. Her breasts strained the stretchy cloth, and her light blonde hair had been curled, the curls dancing around her nipples and down to her belly button, the fuckers.
Kate wore a fitted black dress that came above the knees. Duncan thought she looked elegant as her dark brown hair fell over her open back. She made her blue eyes pop out with some kind of makeup. Fuck, Duncan knew Donovan would have a shit night after seeing Kate, all shy and unaware of how beautiful she was. Poor Donovan would go nuts just at the sight of her.
Errin looked like an angelic spitfire, if that was even possible. Her big blue eyes and long braided honey-colored hair made her look sweet. She wore a purple sundress with a big flower motif and some modest black pumps. But those eyes sparkled with mischief, and her lips stood in a constant smirk, so it seemed.
“Would you girls like something to drink before we go?”
“No thanks. Let’s get this show on the road.” Errin was ready to get going, and Duncan chuckled at her enthusiasm.
“Okay, let’s go. I’m driving tonight, and if any of you girls want to leave, just let me know, yeah?”
Kayla smiled at Duncan as if she loved that he was laying his brotherly charm on thick with her sisters.
“Yeah, well, we’re meeting Calum at the pub, so if you want to leave with Kayla and do something more than standing there eye-fucking and drooling over each other, we’re cool.”
Duncan burst out laughing and walked toward the front door. “You’re something else, Errin.”
“I know.” Errin winked as she walked past him. He could see Errin fitting right in with his family. She wouldn’t be backing down from his brothers and could talk trash like the rest of them.
Kate was a whole different story, he could already tell. She needed to get to know you before she would let you in. She smiled quietly while passing Duncan, and he turned his head as he watched Kayla walk out his front door. She gave him a kiss on the lips, only a small sample of what was hopefully yet to come.
After finding a parking space in the street near Lucky, he entered the pub with the girls behind him. Duncan noticed that the pub was already in its normal Sunday swing. He spotted the faculty softball team for St. Helena’s Kindergarten in their gear, and they seemed to finally have won a match.
They cheered and clinked beer bottles, and Duncan spotted Bree amongst them. She was talking and smiling at some tall dude in the same outfit as hers, who sat close to her at the bar. When he searched for Declan in Lucky, he already knew his brother wouldn’t be happy.
Yep, not happy at all. He was sitting at Pops’s table with Caitlin, Calum, and Maureen. Pops was busy talking, and Duncan could see that Calum had more eyes for Caitlin than their grandfather. But Caitlin was doing her best to give all her attention to Pops. She nodded at him and smiled at his rants. Pops was waving his big arms around and seemed to be in the midst of one of his pub stories. He always had stories from his early days at the bar, when the neighborhood was a bit rough and so was his clientele.
Declan wasn’t listening to Pops at all. He was peeling the label from his beer bottle and shooting daggers at Bree’s back as she was sitting on the barstool, facing the bar. Duncan moved toward said bar, where Brennan and his dad stood.
“Dad, Brennan, meet Kayla’s sisters.”
Kate smiled and blushed while she gave an awkward wave, but Errin stepped up and passed Kate to lean over the bar. “Hi, I’m Errin, and this is my sister Kate.”
Brennan shook her outstretched hand and grunted, “Brennan.”
After their handshake, his dad shook hands with both sisters and welcomed them to the pub with a drink on the house. Errin cheered at the free drinks, and Kate thanked Sean politely.
“I’ll be right back, wildflower,” Duncan whispered in Kayla’s ear. Blushing, she simply nodded. “Cat got your tongue?” He chuckled against her neck.
“No, I... was remembering our night in the back alley.”
He groaned out loud and needed to adjust himself. He hoped the people around him didn’t notice. “Fuck. Stop talking about that. I’m gonna go talk to my brothers before I do something stupid and drag you through the back door again.”
She grinned and winked. God, she was perfect.
“Boyo, did I see that lovely Kayla comin’ in with ye?”
Duncan clapped Pops on his broad back, nodded at Calum, Declan, and Caitlin in greeting, and gave Maureen a kiss on her cheek. “Good to see you, Maureen. Yes, Pops, as a matter of fact, she brought her two sisters with her as well.”
Pops squinted and searched the pub. His hairy brows lifted up, and he sat up straighter in his chair. “Well, bring them over here, boyo. Don’t let my son entertain them for too long, or they’ll be runnin’ scared out the front door, ye hear?”
