Finally done with all the Theta Sig girls in the room, Kade's eyes drop to Killian, silently commanding him to replace him. As he hops up, Kade places a hand on his shoulder and leans in. "Do Zeta Epsilon." He nods towards Sarah, the pledge he intends to sleep with tonight.

Grinning like a fool, Killian claps him on the shoulder. "I got ye." Turning towards the front of the room, Killian stomps his foot, gaining all their attention as Kade drops beside Sarah.

"Avast... Do you smell that, brothers? I smell a hint of sweet irises in the salty air. Avast! Do you see that, brothers? There's some fine Zeta Epsilon joining us tonight!"

Sarah's eyes widen, and she bites her lip as Kade slides his hands around her waist and hoists her up beside Killian.

"Here's to..." Killian throws his hand up.

"Stephany!" Several girls in the back of the room shouts back. "She's Sarah!"

"Stephany's little sister, Sarah, who's with us tonight. Let's make her merry. Let's make her horny. Don't worry Stephany."

Grinning like his brothers, Kade yells, "I'LL MAKE SURE TO CRACK HER CUP BY MORNING!" Don't worry about that.

"So...." Killian flicks his hand out in silent summoning. Below them, her big sister pushes in and lifts a cup for him to take and hand it to Sarah. "Drink baby sister, drink."

"Drink baby sister, DRINK!" Kade hollers with the rest as he watches her. Lifting the cup, Sarah drops it to show it's empty before she jumps off into his waiting arms. "Good job." A smile plays across his lips as he lowers her down against his body, enjoying the feel of her curves as she presses against him. Sliding his hand up her back and between her shoulder blades, Kade kisses her and continues to do so until Brandyn shoves him lightly on his way up to replace Killian.

"Where's my baby unicorn!?" Killian demands. "Oi,Kade?"

Hmm? Kade's attention shifts away from Sarah, though his body doesn't.

"She cut loose after you embarrassed the shit outta her." Skylar shakes his head, sending his brown hair all around so that his blue eyes disappear. "It was clear as day she was dreaming Kade would break her cup and you made him shanty that to her."

At the comment, Killian oddly inhales in horror. "I left ye babysitting here for five minutes and you lost me Sparkles."

"Ten." They counter.

Lifting his drink, Griffin takes a sip. "Heather's gonna kill you," he sing-songs.

Kade's lip curls against Sarah's for a brief moment, amused by his friend's odd behavior.

Killy's eyes narrow. "This is your fault. Find me Sparkles! Now!"

Griffin scoffs into his drink and flicks him off. "I'm not a pledge. I don't do your bidding."

Instantly, Killy rounds on Skylar, the only pledge in their midst. "Get my Sparkles or I'll strip you naked and throw you into the pool."

Skylar's eyes harden. "You wouldn't."

Killian angles his head towards Skylar's actual brother as he stands on the table. "Oi, Brandyn...."

Glaring daggers, Skylar turns on his feet and storms out of the back doors, knowing at least which direction she went.

Eager to get somewhere a bit more private with Sarah, Kade breaks away from her, leaving her twitterpated for a moment. "We'll help." His eyes flick to Killian, and a hint of concern fills him.

Shit, his seas are choppy. She might actually mean something to him.

Concerned for his friend, Kade takes a step back from Sarah and takes her hand as his attention shifts to Sasha. "What way did she go?" He demands in Russian.

"Through the back." Sasha points to his lift towards the back doors. "One Lambda followed."

Killian's expression hardens like Kade's, even though he only knows the word Lambda out of everything else. "Oh... the hell is he touching me Sparkles." The words come out surprisingly dark for the light-hearted Irishman. Hell-bent on destroying a Lambda if he dares to taint his and Uni's Sparkle, Killian storms outside with Kade and Sarah in his wake.

Even with her hand in his, Sarah clings to the back of Kade's shirt as he shoves their way outside. "Is Sparkles a pet name for his girlfriend?"

Ha! Atlantis would freeze first.

"No." Kade's eyes flick around as he looks for the girl he remembers singing to first. "He just cares what happens to her." Which is a first, considering he shirks his duties and has a new lass practically every night.

"FECKIN' PRICK!" Truly's voice catches all of their attention just before she pushes a broad Lambda with brown, wavy hair into the pool. Her face is beet red in anger as she glares down at the asshole.

The guy resurfaces, spitting and sputtering pool water.

"Do te world a favour and drown, ye dickweed!" Truly bites out before turning on her heels and marching off.

Kade raises a brow. He hadn't expected the lass to have such a spunk.

"BITCH!" The Lambda barks after her as he hoists himself from the pool.

At the term, Kade's mood darkens. "Shut up, or I'll keelhaul you!"

Walking up behind him, Heather's lips thin as she passes and smacks Killian upside the head. "I told you to watch her!"

Killian stiffens, and it dawns on Kade he's fearful of her negative reaction to him when he's never cared about another lass before.

"I was!" Killy turns to face her. "It's not me fault I had to welcome all the Zetas. She was supposed to stay with the others but she didn't!"

"I made our baby unicorn your responsibility." Heather pauses, realizing her poor choice of wording. She drops her head back, knowing she just fed a fire. "Fuck."

"Ours?"

The look on Killy's face is priceless, and Kade lightly chuckles.

"You tried to pass her off on me when she was really mine with you ta begin with?! Seriously, Uni?"

"Please stop." Heather sighs as she pinches the bridge of her nose, knowing that the entire backyard is probably watching them now.

Kilian crosses his arms and glares, throwing Heather off by his serious expression. "We've been together for months, Uni. You could have told me she was mine."

Heather practically tackles him to slap her hand over his mouth. "For once in your life, would you shut up!"

Killy raises a brow as inwardly, Kade groans, knowing what he's about to do.

That will not go well, brother.

As he expects, her nose wrinkles in disgust. "Augh! Did you just lick me?!" Heather wipes Killian's spit on his face to dry her hand off. "Sick fuck."

Killy smirks and catches her wrist. "Says the lass who can't get enough of me. I have the letters ta prove it."

A small tug on his shirt reminds Kade he has better things to do, and she's behind him. "Let's go somewhere a bit more quiet, eh?" He whispers into Sarah's ear, earning a bashful nod before he turns towards the side yard. Normally, he'd just walk back into the house, but with the spectacle, Killian and Heather are causing, it's easier to go around than fight their way in.

When they reach the front yard, Kade slides his hand around Sarah's hip, but his step falters.

Are you kidding me?

His eyes narrow at the sight of a guy in an OT-Nu Fraternity shirt who dares to set foot in their port. Worse, he's messing with one of the Theta Sig's lassies and attempting, by his body language, to force her to follow him home so he can sail his ship into her harbor.

That arrogant ass. No one steps foot on our island and steals our bounty without paying for it.

Shifting into a mode he normally reserves when sailing, his hand drops off Sarah's hip before striding straight towards them. "Hey!" He darkly bellows, catching the attention of more than just his brothers. "You have some gall. Get your hands off her or I will do it for you." Kade shoves the man a good five inches taller than him back as he puts himself between the girl and her attacker.

A look of shock crosses the guy's face. "No, it's ain't like that. I was told to come get her," he gestures to the girl behind Kade, "and bring her back to her brother. He's my frat brother."

Kade's expression hardens, having heard a few lines like that before in his time. "You come into my island." He steps forward, right into the man's space. "Mess with one of our girls. And expect me to fall for a line like that?" He tsks and shakes his head.

Taking a step back, the guy pulls out his wallet. "I'm serious, I gotta picture her brother gave me to find her." The guy holds up a photo of Killian's Sparkles dressed in a cute little sundress with sun-kissed freckled cheeks.

Kade's eyes flick to it. What are the odds? Having no intention of backing off now that he's begun, Kade cracks his knuckles. "That's rich." He raises his voice, aware every Psi out front is taking their cues off him. "We're her brothers. She's a Psi lass." Kade flicks his eyes at those around them. "What's the punishment for crossing a Psi on these shores?!"

"Kade." Truly hisses behind him and pokes him in the back. "He's not lyin'. Me older brother is OT-Nu."

Ignoring her, Kade coils his muscles and lunges forward, aware the kid before him doesn't have half the balls of his Psi brothers. "Boom!" The word drops dangerously low from his lips, giving it a sinister tone.

The tall African stumbles back. The poor kid had no intention of coming here and causing trouble.

"Boom!"

Around them, every Psi Omega stomps their feet and menacingly prowls forward. "Boom! Boom! We trained our cannons on you!"

Kade sneers, seeing the fear in the boy's eyes at the way his brothers say the word. "That's right, you pussy OT Nu," he growls out as he raises a finger to point at him. "Psi Omega will give no quarter to you!"

"Boom! Boom!" More voices join from the roof and entry as the word quickly spreads an OT-Nu has dared to cross Kade, of all people.

As the boy backpedals towards the street, Kade and the others prowl forward. "We're gonna sink you to the depths. Send Davy Jones my best! That's right, you pussy OT-Nu."

Feeling the need to do it since his friend seems to care what happens to her, Kade raises his voice above the rest and bellows. "That blood of hers bleeds black and crimson!" He turns, heading back towards her as the others finish.

"We're Psi Omega and we'll terrorize these seas until we die!"

"You alright?" Kade's eyes drop to her wrists, looking for marks on her.

Truly rakes her hands over her face and groans. "Oh, me brother is goin' to kill me."

A group of older Theta Sig girls who witnessed the whole thing come running up surrounding her, truly concerned about her wellbeing. "Are you okay? What happened?"

"I'm fine." Truly's face grows red from the unwanted attention.

"The fucking OT-NU was trying to force her to set sail with him," a passing Psi decrees, a look of angry disgust on his face. "We dealt with it."

"Ugh, feck me sideways," Truly sighs out under her breath, just loud enough for Kade to unintentionally hear.

That's a first. Kade's lip quirks up as his eyes run up and down her. He's been propositions tons of ways, but he's never had a girl demand he fuck her sideways.

Truly glances up at him and does a double-take, realizing Kade heard her. Her blush deeps before her eyes turn to the heavens, and she slightly throws her hands out. "Why?"

Kade's grin grows, and he can't resist taking a step closer so that they're merely a foot away. "You tell me? Why broadside? I'm interested now."

"Oh me stars," Truly whispers, burying her face in her hands as her skin grows hot from just having him near.

"I'm in, if you are." Seeing fast movement from his perennial vision, Kade's attention snaps up to find Killian and Heather barreling towards them with Brandyn and the rest behind them. "But Kill might mind."

Truly suddenly finds herself jarred off her feet when Killian barrels into her in a bear hug tackle.

"Sparkles! What did that OT-NU do to ye!?" Still with her in his arms, Killy eyes her up and down the best he can, making it look like he's a concerned brother all around them. His eyes snap to Kade. "Tell me ye dealt with him properly." His tone implying a far darker retaliation than Kade would've expected.

"Yes. I even told him her blood bleeds black and crimson."

A look of brief shock crosses Killy's face, but he quickly recovers. "That's because it does. She's a fuckin' Psi Omega!" He shouts, gaining several ayes if you say so's from some of their fellow brothers.

Pinned in Killy's arms, Truly pushes against the crazy Psi as Heather tries to pry his arms off her.

"Please, let go of me." Truly starts wondering where she went wrong to get the bad karma shit show dumped on her.

Perhaps it was turning down Alphie Pi's, the sorority her sister-in-law joined when she went to Bellamy University. Instead, Truly took Theta Sig's offer. Or perhaps she went wrong when she tricked her father into letting her go to school.

Now her night has gone from fun to being thoroughly embarrassed, groped, and now apparently joining a fraternity. Daddy will be thrilled. If I never see another boy from Psi again, it will be too soon. Tru's gaze shifts up to Kade.

Amusement fills Kade's eyes, aware of her inner dilemma. "Killian," he draws out, only to flick his fingers to the ground. "Drop her."

Surprisingly he does, allowing Heather to fawn all over her as she throws Killy dirty looks and offhand remarks.

Truly groans with embarrassment. Especially Kade. I hope I never see him again. The overwhelming attraction for him is bad enough, but living out the most embarrassing night of her life in front of him is humiliating enough to teach her to never find anyone attractive, ever. Daddy'll be so happy. His little girl will be an eternal virgin, just like he hoped. "I need a drink... or several."
