Holding up a hand, Erin stared up at him, shielding her eyes from the harsh glare of the sun. “Wait a minute. Do you think that I want to move here?”
Jared sighed. “Baby, we know you like the city.”
Lowering her hand, Erin turned to him. “How about the things I can do in Desire that I can’t do here?”
Duncan touched her shoulder, his eyes hard. “Listen, I know the people here aren’t used to having ménage marriages so close, but they live close enough to Desire to know about them.”
Erin blinked, the knot in her stomach tightening. “I don’t care about that. Rachel’s in Desire.”
Jared frowned. “You can visit.”
Erin couldn’t quite believe the day had turned so abruptly. “How about your parents?”
Duncan smiled indulgently. “Darlin’, you can visit them and they can visit us anytime. It’s not that far.”
Wondering if she was dreaming, Erin fought the urge to pinch herself. “The lingerie store and the furniture store are both in Desire.”
Reese reached in to undo her seatbelt. “We can commute. One of us can take you every day and work in the store until you’re done.”
Erin had had enough. “Have the three of you lost your fucking minds?”
Jared’s expression hardened. “Erin, we know how much you miss living in the city. Dallas is too far away, but—”
Snapping her seatbelt closed again, Erin glared at each of them. “You have lost your fucking minds. I’m not moving. I love living in Desire. Everything I want is there. Everyone I love is there, but if you want to move to Tulsa, feel free.”
Crossing her arms over her chest, she glared at Reese. “Shut the door. I want to go home.”
To her stunned amazement, all three men started laughing.
Unhooking her seatbelt again, Jared dragged her across the front to settle her on his lap. “Thank God.”
Erin smacked at him. “I don’t know what the hell you think is so damned funny. Is this some kind of a joke to you? If so, I’m not amused.”
Jared caught her hand, kissing her fingers. “No, baby. I see that you’re not. You really don’t want to live in the house we found?”
No!
Erin looked at each of them to find them watching her expectantly. Swallowing heavily, she turned to look at the house again. “It’s a nice house. If you really want to live here, I suppose we can make it work.”
Reese slid into the front passenger seat, pulling her legs onto his lap. “So you would live here if we wanted to?”
Moving away from her sister and niece would be hard as hell.
She’d be moving away from her in-laws, who she’d come to love deeply.
Moving away from friends that meant the world to her.
But her husbands meant more.
Forcing a smile, she nodded. “Of course. If you want to live in Tulsa, we’ll make it work.”
Duncan chuckled and, with his arms braced on the back of the front seat, grinned at each of his brothers. “Not the excitement we were expecting, is it?”
Not trusting his tone or wicked grin, Erin frowned and met Reese’s loving gaze. “What’s going on?”
Reese rubbed her thigh. “We were afraid that you missed living in the city.”
“So you really thought that I wanted to move here?”
Jared tilted her back over his arm. “We did. We thought you’d be happier living in the city—or at least as close to it as we could get.”
“You would really have moved here for me?”
“Of course.” Reese’s hands slid higher. “There doesn’t seem to be much we wouldn’t do for you.”
Her eyes stung with tears, her throat clogged with them. “Your love humbles me. I love you so damned much.”
“Do you?” Duncan slid a hand under her shirt, flattening on her abdomen. “How much?”
Recognizing the look in his eyes, a look filled with erotic promise, Erin giggled. “It loses something in the telling. How about if I show you?”
Jared stiffened, his gaze shifting to the rearview mirror. “Shit. The realtor just pulled in behind us.”
Erin scrambled to sit up, righting her shirt. “Get rid of her. I want to go home.”
Jared grinned and cupped her breast before lifting her and handing her to Reese. “Yes, ma’am. Home sounds real good.”
