Especially a man who was evil and only wanted to hurt them. She had no qualms that sooner or later, Calvin would force his way into her home. Especially now that her hired hand Tomas Garza was missing.
Seth ran a finger down the back of her hand, and it sent a shiver rippling through her. “Do you think he came back to fight your brother?”
“No, my brother died six months ago of yellow fever. Are you really Texas Rangers?”
“Yes,” Will said. “We’re actually searching for Calvin Smith. And since you recognized him, he may try to harm you.”
She couldn’t help but wonder if he wasn’t the man stealing her cattle. It would be one way of getting even with her for interfering in his fight. But it seemed silly to come all the way to Blessing just to get revenge for a fight that ended with a woman pulling a gun on him.
“Someone is stealing my cattle. They’re cutting the fence and taking them.”
“What is your father doing about it?”
She licked her lips and gazed at the two men in front of her. Strangers and yet she felt at peace around them. She felt a bond with them unlike anything she had ever experienced. And they were so handsome, and even looking at them, made her heart speed up.
Just then the waitress set their food and drinks on the table. “Enjoy.”
“Miss Bradley,” Will said, leaning close to her, his hand resting on the back of her chair as he drew near. “What is your father doing to stop the rustlers.”
It was now or never. For some reason, she felt a connection with these men and maybe she was wrong, but what could it hurt to try.
“My family–five members–died of yellow fever six months ago. My long-time ranch hand disappeared two weeks ago. I’m all alone.”
They leaned back and gazed at one another before Seth drew closer. “You are living alone on a cattle ranch?”
“Yes, it’s been in my family for two generations. My neighbor would love to steal it from me, but I’ve refused to sell. I’m not going anywhere.”
Even so, that didn’t mean she wasn’t terrified. Some nights, she barely slept, hearing noises that she feared was someone breaking in.
“And now Calvin Smith knows you recognized him.”
Both men’s brows drew together and they frowned at one another. It was like they could read each other’s minds.
“Yes. Today I came into town to talk to the banker who is not wanting to hand over Papa’s accounts, though I have a will that says he left everything to me and Ben. The bank was robbed while I was there. Afterward, I planned to speak to the preacher.” She paused and took a deep breath, knowing she had to say the words. Thinking they could be answer to her prayers.
“I need a man. I need a husband.”

Will
The noise inside the cafe seemed to cease and a buzzing sound reverberated through Will’s head.
She needed a husband.
Swallowing hard, he glanced at Seth as a smile spread across the man’s face and he nodded. They had been friends long enough that he knew they were both thinking the same thing.
Color rose in Lily’s cheeks and he could see she felt embarrassed to express her need. What she didn’t realize was that she was their answer to an unspoken prayer. Will knew she was the one.
Lily Bradley was their woman.
Since the bank, he’d been thinking of how he wanted to remove that dratted dress from her body and explore every inch of her naked flesh. Sink his cock up to his balls into her sweet cunny.
But would she consider two husbands? How would she feel about two men fucking her every night? Waking to being fucked every morning, starting the day with cries of pleasure. Ending each day with climax after climax.
With a sigh, she glanced down at her plate and picked at her food.
Seth signaled the waitress. “Check please.”
