“The prettiest woman you’ve ever seen, huh? So how many pretty women have you said this to?” she asked. Then the thought of them with another woman made her heart instantly ache. She shouldn’t have brought this up.
He scrunched his eyebrows together.
“None, angel. Vic and I have only been in Delite for a year. We spent most of our life in the service. Never really dated much and never brought anyone home before.”
She swallowed hard. She also found it hard to believe that they didn’t date. Maybe he was telling the truth, but that didn’t mean that he or Vic never had sex with any of those women she saw hanging all over them at Dixie Chix. She could recall some leaving with them.
“Hey, you know I’m telling the truth. You’re the first woman we ever brought home. This was our uncle’s place. He left it to us when he passed over a year ago.”
“Oh.”
She still wondered about the women.
“Hey, Vic. Come here,” Tommy yelled toward the kitchen, and Vic came out wearing only his jeans and no shirt. She felt her pussy clench and knew she had it really bad.
“What’s going on?”
“Elis
e thinks we’ve brought other women home and told them how pretty they are. Tell her she’s the first.”
Vic walked over and bent down beside the couch. He touched her cheek and caressed it. “Honey, he isn’t lying. You’re the first and the last.” He leaned forward and kissed her. “What brought this on anyway?” Vic asked once he released her lips.
“I guess I’m feeling kind of possessive of the two of you as well.”
He smiled.
“That’s a good thing.”
“How about you? We’ve never seen you date anyone or heard any stories around Dixie Chix about you dating. Any old boyfriends who might come looking for you?” Tommy teased, and she immediately froze. She knew she looked like a deer caught in headlights, but she didn’t want to tell them about Devlon. Not now. Not when she worried about starting this relationship with Tommy and Vic, and not when she knew that Vic had his own personal struggles after serving in the military. She snuggled deeper against Tommy.
“Hey, are you all right?” Tommy asked.
“I’m fine.” She turned toward him. She placed her hand against his cheek as she looked into his hazel eyes before she kissed him. Thoughts of Devlon soon disappeared but not that nagging feeling in her belly.

By Monday morning, Tommy and Vic wanted to call into work sick. They wanted to spend the day with Elise, but she knew they couldn’t. She kissed them good-bye as they dropped her off at her house before heading into town. Driving with them in full deputy uniforms made her feel pretty damn horny. The way the tight blue shirts accentuated their chests and all their gear, guns, and handcuffs would make for some pretty fabulous fantasies as she got through the day without them.
She waved good-bye then headed inside.
“Someone looks very happy and well loved,” Ava stated as she leaned against the counter. Elise chuckled then plopped down onto the stool in the kitchen. She took a deep breath.
“That good, huh?”
“That good and then some.”
Ava smiled. “I’m happy for you, Elise. This is a good thing.”
“I know.”
“You sound funny? Are you still unsure about them?”
“Um, no, it’s not that. I don’t know really. Maybe it’s just my insecurity.”
“You, insecure? Since when? You’re pretty damn tough.”
“I appreciate that, but I just can’t seem to get rid of this feeling that something isn’t right. I don’t know. It’s like I don’t know.” She tossed her hands up in the air. “I just had the most amazing two days of my life and I’m totally hooked on Tommy and Vic, but, yet…there’s this feeling, deep in my gut.”
