She tried to shy away and look down, but he pulled her tighter against him. The feel of his manhood against her back and iron thighs against the material of her skirt had her breathing heavy and feeling faint.
“You feeling all right, sweetie? You look like you’re about to faint,” he said, full of concern. Then he turned her toward him and pulled her into an embrace against his chest.
He was silent, as if waiting for her to say something. She couldn’t think a coherent thought. She felt frazzled, turned on, and she shouldn’t. It wasn’t right to have these feelings for three men, never mind brothers.
“I…please don’t do that again,” she whispered, and her voice cracked.
Wyatt scrunched his eyebrows together and looked downright mad.
“Don’t do what?” he asked, although he knew precisely what she meant.
He stared down at her, holding her gaze, and she could see the mischief in his eyes.
“Kiss me.”
“My pleasure,” he stated then kissed her again.
It wasn’t what she meant. She wanted him not to kiss her but…now that he was, it felt so good and so right.
The sound of someone clearing his throat pulled her from her daze. “Sheriff,” some older couple passing by said, and Wyatt tipped his hat and said good afternoon to them, never releasing his hold on Anna.
“That was real nice, Anna. You can ask me for a kiss anytime you want,” he teased then caressed her lip with his thumb.
“No. I didn’t mean for you to kiss me again. I meant, don’t kiss me ever again,” she stated in a huff, turning away from him.
“Didn’t you like it?” he asked, pulling her closer against his chest, then he winked.
“Please…I…I don’t want to cause any trouble,” she stated, hoping that she could deflect what was really bothering her about this.
The sheriff looked around them, and Anna followed his line of sight. It seemed they were drawing quite the amount of attention in town.
“I need to go…Stacy is waiting for me.”
She stepped away, only to be pulled back by Wyatt.
“One thing, darling, before you go. We’ll talk about this later.” He leaned down and kissed her quickly and softly before releasing her.
Anna pu
lled away then looked both ways before she crossed the street toward the doctor’s office.

Stacy was awfully quiet when they got into the truck to head toward the ranch.
“So, is everything all right? What did the doctor say?” Anna asked.
“Everything is fine. It’s just as I expected,” Stacy replied as she continued to drive out of town.
“Well? Is it anything serious? Do you need to take anything for it?”
Anna waited for Stacy to respond, wondering why she was acting so strange.
“Just some prenatal vitamins,” Stacy replied, and Anna immediately turned toward her.
“Say that again?”
Stacy smiled wide. “I’m pregnant.”
