Ride a Cowboy... or Two (Mail Order Bride MFM Roamce)

by Terry Towers

  “About us sharing her.”

  “Are you insane? We’ve discussed this before. It’s a crazy idea. I’m not interested.”

  “Look. I punched you because I was pissed it happened behind my back. What made it worse was how you both venomously opposed the idea and then the first chance you two get you kiss. That’s what pissed me off.”

  “How many times do I have to tell you, it just happened.”

  “That’s besides the point. We’re past that part of the conversation. I’m proposing that we share her like I intended to originally.”

  “The idea is just as insane now as it was when you presented it to me a couple weeks ago. She said she wanted to do this?”

  “Not exactly, but I know her well enough to know that she’s intrigued by the idea. She wants to, she’s just doesn’t know how to say it without feeling bad about herself. That’s why we’re going to go to her – together – and present the idea. We’re going to assure her that it’s fine and that we can make it work.”

  I admit, I wasn’t as opposed to the idea as I had been previously. “Can we make it work? There’s a lot that has to be considered. It’s not as easy as all that. She’s marrying you.”

  “So what? She can marry me, but that doesn’t mean she can’t be with both of us. You can love more than one person. We share everything else anyhow.”

  “She’s a human, not a golden retriever.”

  “Of course she’s not. And I’ll admit there’s a part of me that feels jealousy over the thought of her being with you as well. But that’s natural.”

  “It is natural, since it’s not natural to share a woman.”

  “Actually, monogamy isn’t natural for humans. That’s been proven. It’s a societal norm, that’s all.”

  I sighed, shaking my head. Ryker wasn’t going to give this up. He wasn’t seeing all the angles. Worse yet, if we did this what if I became the one that didn’t want to share? How could I go through a broken heart a second time? But if I keep in the back of my mind that she’s not really mine when perhaps when she ultimately got bored of this game it wouldn’t hurt as much.

  “You know, even if I wanted to,” I put up my hand to keep Ryker from saying anything, “If I wanted to, who’s to say that she would want to? You’ve said yourself she isn’t interested. It’s against her values.”

  “I think she just needs to get used to the idea. She’ll be on board.”

  This was crazy. I was crazy to even be considering it. But my resolve was weakening. I wanted her, there was no denying that. She was a beautiful, kind, delightful woman. Who wouldn’t want to be with her? And the thought of her saying my name with a hint of an accident as she came jerked my dick alive.

  “Okay then. Fine. It’s your fiancé you’ll be losing. What do you have in mind?”

  Nina

  Ryker had been gone for quite some time. Roaming the house alone was frustrating. Maybe I should just pack my stuff and get ready to leave. How else could this end? It would kill me if I ruined their relationship. I never wanted any of this to happen.

  Damn, why did I have to kiss him?

  Finishing up the sandwich I’d made myself for dinner, I put my plate in the dishwasher and was just exiting the kitchen when I heard two sets of boots coming up the front steps.

  My entire body froze in place. A part of me wanted to bolt from the room and up the stairs as quickly as possible to avoid an uncomfortable scene. But a stronger part of me forced myself to slowly turn and face them as they entered through the front door.

  I didn’t know what to say so opted to say nothing as I caught the gaze of first Ryker and then Calvin.

  “Hey Nina, can we all sit down and talk for a few minutes?” Ryker asked, coming over to me and placing a kiss on my cheek before leading me to one of the kitchen chairs at the table. He sat next to me, with Calvin across from me. I couldn’t read either of their expressions.

  “What’s this about?” As if I didn’t know.

  “We’ve been doing a fair amount of discussing,” he nodded towards Calvin. “And we want to discuss something with you. We’d like you to keep an open mind.”

  Closing my eyes, I groaned inside. The threesome topic was going to come back up. I was both excited and annoyed by it. The naughty side of me was curious. But Jesus, I’ve only had sex a few times. Didn’t a girl need to be slowly introduced to that? Annoyed with myself I forced myself to remember why I’d objected the first time, I wasn’t that type of girl. And never would be.

  “I’m not a whore.”

  Reaching out to me, Ryker took my hands in his and gave them a gentle squeeze. “I’d never think you were, neither one of us would ever think that.”

  “I came here because I want a husband and family and education.”

  “None of that has changed, Nina. None of it will change. I still want you to be my wife and have my children. But that doesn’t mean that we can’t be a family, the three of us together.”

  Silence overcame the room, it was Calvin that broke the silence.

  “I’ve had a wife and she was a good woman. I don’t need to me married again, but I’ve come to realize that having a woman in my life is something I need. I don’t want to come between you and Ryker, but I do have feelings for you.”

  I stared at Calvin, surprised. “You barely know me. You hated me when I first moved here and that was barely more than a week ago.”

  He sighed, rubbing his chin. “I never hated you, Nina. I never knew you which was why I was skeptical. I don’t want Ryker to feel what I did when I lost Allison.”

  Looking at Ryker I had no idea what to say.

  “We’ll respect whatever decision you make. There’s no pressure. I realize you said no back in Russia, but things change and I feel maybe they have for you. If it’s something you’d be interested in trying and decide it’s not for you then we can go back to it just being the two of us. I promise.”

  Looking deep into his eyes, I could see the sincerity in them. “It’s easier said than done, Ryker.”

  He shrugged. “Perhaps it may be, but we won’t know until we try.”

  My heart felt like it was going to explode in my chest. What in the hell was I going to do? We hadn’t even done anything as a trio and I feared things had already changed between us.

  Chapter 25

  One Month Later

  Nina

  Nothing more was said about having a threesome or sharing me after that one night. I was both relieved and disappointed. In fact, in many ways, it was as if it had never happened. Well, not quite. There was an intensity between me and Calvin that grew stronger each day, as we got to know each other better. There’s be little touches as we passed by each other in the hallway and glances across the table at dinnertime became more and more frequent. I couldn’t forget the night at the table and the offer. It was as if they’d planned on planting the seed in my head just to torture me.

  As much as I enjoyed sex with Ryker, there was a part of me that kept imagining what it would be like being sandwiched between both men. There was one night in particular, when I was sitting between both men on the front porch watching the fireflies off in the field, that the need for them both had been almost undeniable. Ryker’s hand had been on my bare thigh, just below the hem of my skirt, igniting the heat between my legs. I’d turned my head to ask Calvin a question when I discovered our lips were less than an inch apart.

  I blamed the fact that Ryker had already ignited the yearning within me, saying I’d momentarily forgotten who I was speaking to. But I was lying to myself. I wanted them both. The kiss I’d experienced with Calvin had opened Pandora’s box and it couldn’t be closed no matter how hard I tried.

  Tonight was going to be another night where I was going to have to work to keep my desires at bay. As the three of us casually rode our horses down the trail to the lake, I could feel the tension between the three of us growing. I’d caught both men staring at me when they thought I wasn
’t looking.

  Had they planned to seduce me tonight?

  Laughing to myself, I dismissed the idea despite my cheeks glowing crimson. Thankfully it was late enough in the evening that the forest around us was darkening, due to the sun starting to lower beyond the mountains leaving the sky with bright streak of yellow, orange and red.

  It was a beautiful night. Heck, it was a beautiful country. In the little over a month that I’d been on the ranch I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. Though there was one other issue that needed to be addressed. Ryker was already talking about having a baby, despite not even having the wedding arrangements cemented. But I wanted to go to school before I had children.

  When Ryker talked about having children his entire face would light up with excitement. I felt guilty and selfish for wanting anything else when he was giving me such a wonderful life. But it did have to be discussed, sooner rather than later.

  The pathway we took led to a large open area. I knew Calvin had a secret place that he shared with only Allison, and I knew this wasn’t it. Maybe one day he’d feel he could share his secret spot with me. Looking over at Calvin, I caught him staring at me. We silently shared a smile and my head turned forward again as Ryker brought his horse to a stop.

  By the time I finally managed to dismount – I was still a little unsteady and getting used to horseback riding – Ryker had already laid out a large blanket and was unloading a picnic basket. Generally, a picnic with such a romantic atmosphere would be share with a single couple, but surprisingly enough this situation didn’t feel odd or out of place.

  ~*~ TT ~*~

  Ryker

  Calvin and I had decided to give Nina time. It hadn’t been fair to throw something like being with me and my brother at her and then put pressure on her to decide. For the first week, we’d pretty much dismissed the idea, but then something happened. I could tell she was growing closer to Calvin with each passing day.

  I’ll admit a part of me was slightly jealous when Calvin got her attention instead of me, but it was a manageable jealousy. It was a jealousy that reminded me each and every day just how special she was. Even though I would be sharing her with my brother, ultimately, she was still mine. I was the one she was going to marry.

  Which brought us to today.

  Even though she refused to admit it verbally to either of us, she wanted both of us. We knew it was time for us to take matters into our own hands and bring about a situation where she’d feel comfortable giving into what she really wanted but was too proud to admit – she wanted both of us. We’d already agreed that if she turned us down tonight then that was to be the end of it.

  “The lake is beautiful this time of day,” she stated, her back to us as she looked out onto the lake. As the sun went down, the final rays of light danced off the gentle waves.

  “It really is. I can’t believe I haven’t taken you here at this time of day before.”

  “Better late than never. Besides, I have a lot of time to explore.” She turned to face me. Calvin was securing the horses to a nearby tree as I set out the picnic.

  A picnic in a romantic location like this would normally be an easy seduction, but this wasn’t a typical situation. We had to sell her on us, as a pair. Even if she secretly wanted us both, it would still be a hard sell.

  “All set.” Calvin said turning back to me. “If you spend some time exploring the area you’ll find there’s a number of beautiful areas to relax and stare out onto the water.” Calvin came to sit on the blanket, leaving enough space between us for her to settle.

  “Do you guys have kayaks, or boats of some sort? It would be great to go out onto the water,” Nina asked as she walked over to the blanket. She looked stunning, her slender frame highlighted by the scenery in the background. The jean shorts she was wearing were cut high on her thighs making her legs appear long and sleek, while the tank top plunged low enough to give a nice display of cleavage. If I didn’t know better, I’d think she was intentionally trying to seduce us.

  “Have you been boating before?” I asked. Funny we’d discussed so many things, that just hadn’t been one of them. We still had so much to learn about each other, but it would come with time.

  She shook her head as she gracefully lowered herself onto the blanket between us. She flipped over to her back, bracing her elbows behind her. “Which one of you will be feeding me grapes from the vine?” she asked teasing.

  Looking over her to my brother, we shared a look of amusement. We packed an assortment of fruit, including grapes. Reaching into the picnic basket which was on my side of the picnic blanket, I grabbed a vine of green, seedless grapes.

  Leaning over to head, I dangled the grapes before her mouth.

  “I didn’t actually mean for you to…” She giggled a rosy blush coloring her cheeks, as she leaned forward and took a bite from the lowest dangling grape. “If you insist.” She looked over at Calvin, who was grinning and her blush deepened as she swallowed.

  “We’ve brought some sandwiches, meat and cheese…” I said. “Some wine.”

  “And lots and lots of fruit,” he added.

  She nodded as she stared out onto the lake. I put the vine out in front of her lips and she plucked a grape from it with her teeth.

  The bottle of wine was uncorked and we all began to eat, all the while, I made an effort to make contact with her - little, light touches on her neck and bare arm. Just the way that I knew she liked it. Periodically, she’d look over at me and a lazy smile would touch her lips. Was she onto me and our plan? I didn’t think so.

  The sun was dipping lower. We had less than an hour left of light as the shadows began to creep in on the three of us. Looking over Nina’s head, my gaze caught Calvin’s and I nodded, mouthing hurry up. What in the hell was he waiting for? He needed to make a move or this wasn’t going to happen. It couldn’t be a better setting and mood than right now.

  Calvin leaned into her and whispered, “Are you having a good time?”

  She gasped as she turned her head, their lips less than an inch apart. Her body stiffened, and she didn’t respond immediately, her eyes staring into his. “Y-yes, I am… It’s beautiful…”

  “So are you, beautiful that is.”

  Oh lord, I rolled my eyes. He was supposed to be seducing her not making her cringe due to his corny pick uplines. It was apparent to me that he’d been out of the dating game way to long.

  She blushed and looked away, whispering, “Thank you.”

  I knew that look, she was flattered. Was his pick up line really working?

  Her gaze turned to me quickly and then back to Calvin.

  As they stared at each other, my palms began to sweat. To my surprise I was nervous, though wasn’t sure exactly what was making me more nervous, the fact that my dynamic with Nina was about to change, or that this gamble could mean the end of my relationship with Nina. I hoped I wasn’t making a huge mistake.

  Then he did it and my head stopped. He leaned into Nina and brushed his lips across hers. Her body stiffened, and I swear my heart skipped a beat. That was it.

  Chapter 26

  Nina

  What in the hell was going on? Why was I kissing Calvin in front of Ryker? Why was Ryker allowing it? Was this some sort of trick? A test to see if I’d be loyal? But who in the hell tested someone like this?

  The hundred questions that raced through my mind evaporated as our kiss deepened. I had to stop it. I had to pull away and apologize. Oh God, it was to much. What kind of whore was I?

  Our kiss deepened, when I should have been pulling away. But, dammit, his lips and tongue tasted so good with a hint of red wine on them.

  I was about to pull away and end it, when I felt Ryker’s hard body press up against me, his lips began to work their way down my neck, starting at my earlobe and moving downward. It was a double shot of pleasure and I moaned softly against Calvin’s lips.

  Torture, sheer torture, but it felt so damned good.

  Someone’s hand,
I think Ryker’s, grabbed the inside of my bare leg just above the knee and gently squeezed, slowly making its way up to the bottom of my shorts. This was crazy. Insane. But so good.

  Everything within me was fighting. I knew I needed to stop it. I was engaged to Ryker, I’d said there was no way I’d ever be with both brothers, but the feel of both men pressed up against me, mouths devouring me, hands caressing me, I was having troubles gathering up the strength to deny them. Who could blame me, it was two on one? And God forgive me, but I was attracted to both of them.

  It was the wine… It had to be the wine that was making me feel this way. I didn’t quite believe that excuse, but it the best excuse I could come up with at the moment.

  Ryker’s hand slipped under the leg of my shorts and inched its way to the apex between my legs. As Ryker’s hands caressed my lower half, Calvin slipped a hand to the back of my head and deepened the kiss, his hand fisting my locks.

  Oh god, oh god, oh god!

  As our tongues duelled, I reached out and placed my palm flat against his broad chest. The muscle flexed against my hand sending a jolt of excitement through me. My fingers traced the hard lines of muscle with my fingertips, through the cotton shirt.

  Stop this. Stop this. A voice in the back of my head screamed. My body had other ideas though. Calvin’s lips left mine and he began running a line of kisses down my neck.

  “Oh my,” I gasped, letting my head fall backwards, giving Calvin better access to the sensitive flesh. “We shouldn’t be doing this.” My protest was weak at best.

  “All you have to do is say stop, hun,” Ryker whispered in my ear, the warmth of his breath sending shivers through me.

  “I… Ummm, I - ” I didn’t want it to stop. But it had to. It was so hard to think.

  Ryker’s mouth slid down my body to my collarbone. His hand left my thigh just before it reached my pussy and began to tug up the bottom of my t-shirt. He slid lower down my body and placed a kiss on my stomach, just above the waistband of my jean shorts. His mouth being so close to my groin made me moan softly. What was he going to do? Oh God. He was a master with his mouth. I loved it when he made love to me, but be there was something even more intimate about him running his tongue between my legs and bringing me to a point of pure ecstasy.
