Page 7 of Loving My Cowboys

She smiled and Will knew at that moment she was going to say yes. Tonight would be their wedding night. His cock pulsed with excitement and he was ready to sayI do.

Seth took her hand. “Lily, will you marry us?”

A grin spread across her face and she picked up each of their hands. “Yes. I’ll marry you. But which one?”

Reaching into his pocket, Will pulled out a coin. “Heads or tails?”

“Head. Anytime,” Seth said, grinning.

With a toss, Will let the coin drop onto the floor. In the light from the window, tails shined. “You have my word that I will never cheat on you. I will cherish our life together and honor you.”

“Will you marry us, Lily, and let us be your men?”

“Yes,” she whispered and grasped both of their hands. “I would kiss both of you, but that would confuse the father.”

“Never forget you’re ours,” Seth whispered. “Will is your lawful husband, but you belong to me as much as you belong to him.”

“I’m both of yours,” she said, glancing at each of them.

A giddiness filled Will and all he could think about was tonight. They would claim their bride. “Let’s get married.”

Lily

Sunlight glinted through the windows as Lillian stood before the preacher ready to say the vows that tied her to Will and Seth forever. This morning when she left the ranch, she hoped she would find a husband, but never imagined finding two manly, handsome men to marry her. Not one, but two.

Right now, she didn’t understand their life, but she would learn and do her best to be a good wife for them.

“I’m happy for you, Lily. After your family died, I feared you would never marry,” the preacher said, smiling at her.

“Thank you,” she said, realizing she would no longer be alone.

The preacher looked at the men. “Texas Rangers. Honest, good men. I’m so happy that you found a good man, Lily. Let’s say the vows and get you on your way to a new, happy life.”

For a moment, fear filled her. What did she know about these men? They were handsome and would protect her. They promised not to harm her. And she needed them.

Will ran his fingers down her cheek and a shiver of anticipation trickled like water down her spine. Tonight they would take her virginity. Tonight they would make her a woman. Their woman.

“All right, I’m ready.”

The preacher began to say the vows and she trembled at the enormity of what she was about to do.

It was a new, different beginning from her old life. One she hoped would give her joy and happiness. A family once again.

When they finished the vows, Will leaned in and kissed her. It was a chaste kiss and she couldn’t wait for a real kiss between them. Between her and Seth as well.

The preacher chuckled and then turned to Will. “As soon as you sign the book, you’re free to go. I’m sure you're anxious to get your bride home.”

Will smiled at the man. The three of them went into the office and they signed a license saying they were legally wed. She had a husband. A thought brought a giggle to her lips.

As they walked out the door, Will glanced at her. “What’s funny.”

“I’m married and I have not one, but two husbands.”

He grinned at her and yet his brown eyes darkened with passion that caused her breath to catch. Now, she belonged to them.

“How far out to your ranch?” Seth asked.
