town.”
“I don’t reckon I give a damn now what anyone thinks. Not when you think I’m good enough to be your wife.”
Bo watched a beaming smile slide across Shanna’s lovely mouth. She was a hot mess. Her hair in tangles and sticking to her face and shoulders. Her skin was shiny with sweat. Fatigue darkened the delicate half-circles beneath her soft brown eyes.
He bracketed her face with his palms, feeling like his heart would explode inside his chest because he’d held the hope for so long and finally, at last, she’d be his. Bo lifted his head and kissed her, the backs of his eyes stinging as he stroked into her mouth.
Her knees cupped his hips, opening her sex to rub against him. Her breasts were mashed against his chest. She pressed as close as she could get—without crawling right inside him. He recognized the sentiment, returned it a thousand-fold.
His cock filled again, pushing into her slowly, rousing as she began to rock gently, encouraging his invasion with sexy dips and swirls until he was fully embedded.
“Think they have their ear to the door?” he whispered.

“Bet Josh does,” she drawled, then groaned. “God, I don’t know how I’m gonna face them. The things I said to them.”
“They’re good guys, Shanna. They won’t make you feel like a wh—”
She kissed his mouth hard, bumping against his teeth. “I’m not my mama. I hated her for being easy and embarrassing me, but I loved her too.”
“I know, baby.”
“Just because I like you to challenge me, to take charge now and then, won’t mean I’m bored with you, or want another lover.”
Bo nodded again, letting her make her intimate vows.
“I’ll be a good wife,” she said, her eyes sparkling with unshed tears.
Bo smiled and dug his hands into her hair, loving the warmth that wrapped around his fingers. He was surrounded by her loving heat. “I’ll be the best husband. I swear to you, Shanna, you’ll never regret being mine.”
Josh eased his ear from the door, a small smile curving his lips. He tiptoed back to the kitchen where the brothers gathered to prepare a meal for everyone, sure the two lovers tucked into Ezra’s bed would be starving the moment they came up for air.
Josh rubbed his belly. “Feels hollow.”
Cade handed him a roast beef sandwich. “They doin’ okay?”
Josh waggled his eyebrows. “I think we’re gonna be best men.”
Ezra snorted. “Then it was worth it.”
“Tell me you didn’t enjoy that,” Josh said, eyeing his too-serious brother.
“Makes it hard to wait,” Ezra ground out.
Cade nodded. “Yeah, think she’ll ever let her guard down again?”
Josh leaned against the butcher block. “Didn’t you learn anything from tonight?”
His brothers eyed him like he’d grown a second head. “So I’m not the smartest one, but Shanna just proved something. You can’t back away from love. It won’t come to you. You have to crowd against it, push it. Push her . Maybe scare her a little too.”
“We did plenty of scaring. She hasn’t spoken to us in seven damn years,” Ezra said, his voice raw.
Josh shrugged. “She didn’t press charges. We didn’t leave a bruise on her she didn’t beg for. She needs remindin’ who owns her ass.”
Ezra and Cade shared tense glances then turned back to Josh.
“If we try and fail,” Ezra said, his voice still tight, “we move on. Find our own women.”

Cade nodded. “She’s worth the wait, but I agree. We have our whole lives ahead of us. I for one don’t want to spend it without a woman in my bed.”
Josh nodded slowly. “Since we’re in agreement, we should make a plan.”
The brothers migrated to the kitchen table. Beer bottles slammed on the table as they plotted.
In the end, all their hopes fell on Ezra, the one Chrissi Page had surrendered to the first time.
