“No,” she said.
“Your mother loved you so much that she was looking out for you. Don’t dishonor her by going against her wishes.”
The woman was silent for a few minutes as they rode in the direction of town. She leaned her head against his chest and Alex was sure Jesse’s cock responded, growing hard.
“What did Momma mean you would explain to me about where you live?”
Alex smiled at her. “Bridgewater is a place where every woman has two husbands to look out for her. This way if something happens to me, Jesse is there to protect you and our children.”
Her brows came together in a frown. “But I can’t marry you both.”
“No, legally, you’ll be married to Alex, but you’ll be both of our wives. The wedding vows will go for me as well. Alex will say the vows, but my heart will also be included with them. Once you’re married to us, there will be no going back. You’re ours.”
Her eyes widened with the knowledge that she would have the two of them. The girl was an innocent, and yet, Alex could see the fire inside her, just waiting for someone to ignite. And he couldn’t wait for the two of them to ignite the passion in her.
Mattie chewed her bottom lip, fear in her eyes. “It’s just, I don’t know either of you.”
“Do you think we’re good men?” Jesse asked.
“Of course,” she said.
“Are you attracted to us?” Alex asked, certain she was at the way she responded to their touch. The way her breasts seemed to swell and her nipples had hardened enough he could see them through her chemise when the shirt she wore fell open.
Would she lie to them? Because if she did, she would soon find herself over his knee.
Her sapphire eyes gazed at him. “Yes, but I’m nervous.”
Jesse leaned around her and kissed her lips. “Thanks for being honest. We’ll take things slow. But first we’re going to get you married. That way Frank and his father can’t take you away. Then we’ll take you home. We’re men and we can’t wait to get you alone.”
“What will we do?” she asked, her voice breathless.
Mattie angled her head and leaned back against Jesse, staring up into his eyes. Alex couldn’t help but feel a little jealous, but his plan had worked. Soon, they would both be sharing their bride.
Certain she was an innocent, she had no idea what would happen tonight and he could see the fear and her innocent anticipation.
Jesse kissed her again, a lingering kiss, and Alex could see she was affected by his lips. When they broke apart, he gazed down at her. “We’ll take it slow and when you’re ready, we’ll make you ours.”
Mattie turned and faced Alex. “And you as well?”
“Yes, Mattie, from the first moment I saw you, I wanted you. I can’t wait to undress you, tear that soiled gown from you and gaze at your lush body.”
A blush crossed her face. “What about children?”
They both chuckled.
“We can’t wait,” Jesse said. “If you get pregnant tonight, we’d be pleased.”
When they reached town, they soon found a judge willing to marry them.
Today, he’d been dreaming about a wife, wishing for one to come into their lives and suddenly there she was in front of them. As Mattie and he said the vows, Jesse stood as a witness, both of them committing to her.
The dress she wore was the same one Frank attacked her in. Grass stains marred the front, but their woman looked dignified and regal, her blonde hair hung in curls down her back. Beautiful and he couldn’t wait to get her home and remove that horrible dress from her and burn it.
“You may now kiss your bride,” the judge said.
It was their first kiss, and yet, he didn’t want to make her uncomfortable. If they were home, he would have her melting from the touch of lips, but here with the judge, he gave her a brief kiss, saving the best for later.
“Congratulations,” he said.
