“I’ve always loved you. That will never change.”

This time she touched his face, her delicate fingers
traced around his eye and along his jaw. It felt so damned good. “I was
jealous.”

North smirked. “You never need to be jealous, Eva. I’m
yours.”

She exhaled in a rush before reaching her arms up
around his neck. “
Yes
,” she
whispered. The little thing pressed her body against his. She’d done it a
million times when they hugged, but not like this. His cock stirred to life,
his entire body taut as he tried to behave.

There was something magical in the air enhanced by the
rain and darkness.

“I love you so much,” he muttered against her neck.
She smelled sweet, like strawberries and cream.

“You’ll catch your death of a cold out here, Eva. Your
mother will kill us for not taking better care of you,” said Colton. His twin
separated them, leading Eva towards the trailer by holding her bent elbow. They
all moved in silence, not saying a word during the long walk, but there were so
many things running in his head. North was processing all the possibilities,
and he still wasn’t one hundred percent convinced he wasn’t dreaming.

Once safely inside the silver bullet, the rain and
dampness shut out, Colton pinned Eva against the living room wall. “What am I
going to do with you, little lady?”

She looked up at him, her sweet faced framed by her
dripping wet hair. “Love me back?”

He shook his head. “I can’t give you something you
already have.”

“Kiss me then.”

Colt held back, staring at her with an arm braced at
either side of her head. “I can’t.” He spun around, massaging behind his neck.
Why couldn’t he just accept the gift she offered? Why did Colton always have to
make things difficult?

North didn’t want Eva upset. He moved in and began to
peel off her heavily soaked sweater. “You can’t stay in these wet clothes,” he
said.

She nodded, but he’d already seen the hurt Colt left
in her eyes. He tossed the damp material in the corner and didn’t know where to
go next. Her shirt clung to her curves and the girl didn’t even have on a bra.
He tried to look away—and failed.

“You look real good,” he whispered. North leaned over
and kissed the smooth plane of her neck. She was the ultimate temptation. He
slipped his hands under the bottom edge of her shirt and moved up. Her skin was
chilled and breaking out in gooseflesh. He could feel her stomach quiver as his
rough hands moved up her soft sides. North slowly kissed his way to her lips.
She was ready and eager, parting her lips for his tongue. They kissed with such
passion, he never wanted to stop. By the time his hands reached the bottom edge
of her breasts, Colt pulled him back by the shoulder.

North was getting tired of his brother. “What the
fuck?”

“Eva go get changed in the loft,” Colt said. She listened,
slipping away and climbing up onto the bed. His twin stared him down.

“What is up with you?”

“You’re taking advantage of her, North. You need to
keep your hands to yourself.”

He wouldn’t be denied the one thing he wanted most.
North bent forward and charged into Colt, ramming him into the other wall. The
entire trailer rocked back and forth as they slammed each other from side to
side. “I’d never take advantage of her!”

“She’s not yours.” Colton punctuated his words with a
sharp punch to the gut.

“Then she sure as hell ain’t yours, Colt.”

North managed to rip his brother’s shirt off over his
head, before kneeing him in the ribs. They were about to lunge forward again,
but they were stopped by Eva’s voice.

“Stop it! You’re both being ridiculous,” she shouted.
“Now stop upsetting me and come to bed.”

North exhaled and he could see Colt visibly lose his
steam. They were both too hardwired to make Eva happy. He flicked off the
lights and started to climb into bed. Colton went to the bathroom.

“Not with those wet clothes. Take them off before you
wet all the blankets.”

He complied since the trailer was in shadows. North
kicked off his clammy jeans and lost his shirt. He crawled into the loft and
dropped down on his side. His skin was chilled but he felt anything but cold
next to Eva.

“Where’s Colt?”

“He’s coming in a minute.”

“I’m cold,” she said. “Warm me up.” Eva slipped under
his blanket, skin to skin. She wore nothing at all. His Herculean control was
shot down the moment of physical contact.

She rested her cheek against his chest, and he could
feel her little nipple pebbled against his side. “How do I make you feel?” she
whispered.

“What do you mean?”

“Do I make you feel as good as those women in the
bar?”

He huffed. “Much better.”

“We always talk about everything back home. Why not
now? Why do things have to change?”

He took a cleansing breath. “What do you want to
know?”

“Do I turn you on?”

She was playing with fire and didn’t even realize it.
“Yes.”

“Tell me how it feels.” Eva ran her palm over the roundness
of his shoulder, her fingers testing the strength of his biceps.

“You make my dick hard.”

She kissed his chest, her little tongue flicking out
to taste him. Her hand slid lower and lower. North swallowed hard. When her
hand rubbed over the top of his damp boxer briefs, her reached down and grabbed
her wrist.

“Why can’t I touch you?” she asked.

“Because, you just can’t do that and not expect me
to…react.”

“Tell me,” she said, her hand returning to his chest.
“How do you want to react?”

“Eva, stop it.”

“Tell me,” she insisted. “You said I make you hard.
Then what?”

He had to control his fucking breathing just to speak.
Never had a woman had such a pull over him. North rolled over so he dominated,
pinning her under him. “I want to fuck you, to fill your sweet little virgin
pussy with my cock.”

“Oh God,” she whimpered, pulling him down to her lips.
She kissed him, nipping and sucking in between gasping for air.

“North!” Colton’s loud baritone filled the trailer.

“Colton McReed stop being dumb and come to bed,” said
Eva. She wouldn’t let North go, returning to their kiss. Her desire was like a
living force, calling to him like a siren.

As Colt climbed up, he shoved North to his side,
inadvertently tossing the blankets as well. Eva lay on the bed completely nude.
Her body was perfect and youthful, her breasts soft, tempting swells, and her
hips beautifully rounded.

“Please kiss me, Colt.” She reached up to him,
beckoning him to lower over her body. “
Please
.”

Colton didn’t say a word. He lowered over her body,
careful to hover out of contact. Eva grabbed him around the neck and pulled him
down. His brother resisted at first but finally accepted Eva when she kissed
him first.

“More,” she whined. “Touch me.”

****

Colton wanted to keep his distance but how could he
resist Eva when she begged him to kiss her? What harm could it do now that
North had crossed the line?

He kissed Eva Ford. His heart screamed out that she
was
his
girl, but he knew a life with
him would go nowhere fast. The one kiss quickly turned into much more when she
began to squirm beneath him, thrusting her hips to get closer. She was ripe,
but he wouldn’t pick her. Not little Eva.

“I’m hot all over,” she said. “You know how to make it
better, Colt.”

Eva knew they’d had their fair share of fast women
over the years. They meant nothing. Eva meant everything.

Her fucking hands smoothed over his back, holding him
close. When she parted her thighs, he dropped down against her center. He was
still in his jeans and his cock was about to blow off the zipper. “Stop
teasing, Eva.”

“I’m not.” She nipped and sucked his shoulder. Her
little mewling sounds drove him crazy. “Stop being cruel. I thought you loved
me.”

Shit.
Eva was able to play with his heart strings
effortlessly. He shifted to his side of the bed, leaving her on her back in the
middle. Colton ran the backs of his fingers along her parted inner thighs. She
tried to turn and face him, but he stilled her with a palm to the stomach.

He travelled straight to her center, cupping her mound
and the neat patch of dark-blonde curls. She gasped and began to pant in
anticipation. The Ford girl was the essence of innocence, experiencing
everything for the first time. He wanted it to be perfect for her.

North moved in, drawn in by Eva’s wanton desire. It
was nearly palpable. He descended on her pert little tit, suckling the nipple
into his mouth. She grabbed onto his head to hold him into place.

“That feels so good, North. Oh my God.”

Colton pushed the limit, penetrating her wet pussy
with two fingers. Her breath caught. She attempted to close her legs, by
decided to drop them open at the knees instead. He slowly began to finger-fuck
her, careful not to push too deep. With just the right curl of his fingers,
he’d help her achieve an orgasm within minutes.

North alternated between her breasts and her lips. The
scent of sex perfumed the air. When Colton added the precise pressure to her
G-spot, it pushed her over the edge. Eva cried out, clutching at both of them. She
was like a ship without an anchor, and Colt wanted to be the one to teach her
everything. He kept his fingers inside her, eager to feel her tight inner walls
milk him, imagining it was his cock.

“Let it all go, baby girl.”

When she finally calmed down, her breathing coming in
a regular pattern, he covered her with the blankets.

“That was incredible,” she said.

He couldn’t count the number of times they’d all slept
together in Eva’s room. Colton had never been tempted to cross a line. Now the
lines were blurred, and for the first time he could see the lure of forever.

Chapter Eight

It was the day of the judging. Eva wasn’t surprised
the brothers were gone when she woke up. She’d been worried things would be
uncomfortable after everything they’d shared last night. Her only regret was
the fact they refused to take things all the way. As soon as she’d smartened up
and accepted what was in front of her all along, there was no going back. She
loved Colton and North unconditionally, flaws and all.

She tugged on her jeans, the snug denim making her
pussy pulse. Eva stopped to catch her breath. It only took one memory of last
night to make her feel that same wanton energy. The McReed twins felt so good,
all hard and muscly. They were strong and attentive, holding back because they
loved her. She trusted them completely, and wanted so much more from them.

Eva set out for the holding paddock. She needed to get
Bessie and Ruby in top form. This was the day she’d been waiting for. As she
walked along the beaten paths, she realized the sky seemed bluer, the grass
greener. Her eyes had been opened to a new world. She felt complete, like she’d
finally finished a twenty-two year old puzzle.

When she spotted Wade waiting for her by the split
rail fence, she cursed under her breath. She’d forgotten all about him. He’d
made her feel good because he was the first man to pay attention to her. He
symbolized freedom and the adult life she’d always sought. But never once was
she foolish enough to believe it was love.

“Good morning, pretty lady.”

She smiled as she approached. “Hi, Wade.”

“Today’s the big day, is it?”

Eva nodded. She looked to the side where the cows were
kept, wondering how she could tell him things would never work between them.

“I wanted to show you something. I’m packing up
tonight and heading on the road, so this is my last chance.”

If that was true, she’d be free of any ties. The least
she could do was see what he wanted to show her. “Okay, but I can’t be long.
The judges will be doing a walk through soon.”

“It won’t take long.” He smiled and then led her away
by the small of the back. They followed a narrow path behind the barn. It was a
downward slope moving away from the events to a series of small outbuildings.
She wondered if he was going to show her the new foals she’d heard talk of.
Baby animals were always a weakness of hers. She’d personally brought at least
a dozen calves into the world on their farm.

She looked around when they reached the bottom of the
hill. It was odd there weren’t any cowboys or hired hands around. Eva began to
feel uneasy, especially when Wade kept mentioning how beautiful she looked.

“So who are those boys you’re bunking with exactly?”

She was tongue-tied for a moment. “They’re my friends
from the next ranch over. I’ve known them since I was a little girl.”

“But you’re not a little girl anymore, are you? You
look very much like a woman to me.”
