“We had a mother who spoiled us. We need a wife to love us.” A serious expression washed over Beck’s face. “The truth is, we want what only you can give us.”
“And what is that?”
“Friendly banter, a chase, a challenge…” Seth’s voice trailed.
“Hot sex, good fucking,” Beck added.
“Great so you’re using me for my body.”
“What’s wrong with that?” Beck teased.
“Lindsey, it’s simple really. We want—and more importantly we need—your love.”
“I do, you know.”
Beck said, “We know, but it might be nice to hear.”
“I love you.”
“Love you back,” Beck said.
“I’ve loved you for over half my life,” Seth admitted.
“Ah, guys. You’re gonna make me cry,” Lindsey said, feeling those tears welling in her eyes.
“Then cry, but make sure they’re happy tears.” Beck removed the emerald from the box and put it on the third finger of her left hand.
Seth slipped a diamond on her right hand. “Marry us.”
“Say yes, Lindsey.”
She held her hands out and studied the lovely jewelry. The rings were symbols of their love and she didn’t doubt that love, which made her all the more confident when she said, “I wouldn’t dream of marrying anyone else.”
“Of course you wouldn’t.” Seth leapt to his feet and spun her around and around.
Beck was at her back as soon as Seth released her. Lifting her hair, he pecked her nape with quick kisses. “And now we have a wedding to plan.”
“I’d rather practice.”
“Practice?” Beck arched a brow.
“Hmm. Hmm.” She patted the front of Beck’s jeans and grabbed Seth’s thick package, too. “A girl has to get ready for action if
she plans to spend her honeymoon in bed.”
Laughter filled the barn until a gunshot was fired into the air. Seth and Beck jumped in front of her before they saw who was on the other side of the barn.
“Take her back to the house,” Beck grated out, walking ahead of Seth and Lindsey.
“Beck, no!” Lindsey screamed, trying to stop him and fearing who he’d face at the other end of the barn.
“Found my contract.” As if paper held water, Bonzo held up the agreement in one hand and a gun in the other.
The horses neighed in their stalls. A few of the studs pounded their hooves against the concrete walls.
“What’d ya mean by coming in here with a gun? Do you have a death wish?”
“Seth, he’s not here alone!” Lindsey tried to pull free of Seth’s grip as he dragged her into the small office tucked behind the foaling stall. “We have to go back.”
