Morning After (Impossible Choices - Book 3‪)‬

As morning rolls around, Corinne realizes that the events of the day and night before had not been some sort of amazing dream. When she comes face to face with an irritated Liam while still in the arms of Owen, she realizes that it maybe have been all too real. She has no way to explain her actions, not that Liam wants any. He's only interested in one thing...claiming his territory. She belongs to him, and no one else, and he'd determined to prove it. Corinne doesn't fight him. There seems little point, even if she takes offense to him calling her property.

When Owen wakes up, things turn a little ugly. The boys start fighting while she is literally trapped between them. Corinne can't help but feel uncomfortable. It should be flattering being fought over by two gorgeous men, but it just makes her upset and angry. They make her feel used and unappreciated. They both think they are in the right, and the argument gets heated enough to wake up Tristan, who surprises them all enough that Corinne is able to wiggle out from between the argument, temporarily forgetting that she's not dressed. Tristan doesn't seem to mind, his eyes instantly locking onto her body as she tries to flee from the room. He stops her, though, and demands to know what's going on. From there, the argument gets more heated, and Corinne ends up getting extremely angry. So much so that she ends up storming out of the cabin in only a jacket and a pair of boots.

Despite the fact that the weather hasn't improved, she wants to get away from all of them. She has no idea where she's headed, all that matters is that she gets away from Liam and Owen and their pointless argument. It doesn't take long, though, for the freezing wind and icy rain to make her regret her hasty retreat from the warm cabin. She briefly considers going back inside, but when one of the men abruptly catches up to her, she finds her stubborn streak winning over her rational side. She won't go back without a fight. And Tristan, the only one to notice her leaving in the first place, won't let her stay out in the dangerous storm. He picks her up and physically drags her back inside...except he doesn't take them to the cabin. Instead, he brings her to the woodshed so that she can calm down away from the harsh elements.

Corinne is grateful for his interference, if a little wary. She knows that Tristan is as interested in her as the others, and as much as she hates to admit it, she feels something similar. She tries to keep her distance, but when she starts to shake uncontrollably, she's forced to let Tristan try to warm her up. And before too long, things get a lot more steamy than one would expect in a unheated woodshed as she gives up trying to resist him. She might not know what the future holds for her, but one thing has become painfully clear to Corinne: She cannot choose between them anymore. It's all three or nothing...and she's not willing to settle for nothing.
