You taste good, Edie. So sweet and delicate. And ours.
There was heat in his crystal gaze now, and promises of delicious
things they planned to do to her.
Oh, goodness.
Oh, look, we re here. Edie scrambled out of the SUV and up the
steps toward the little red gate, but a pair of big hands on her hips
stopped her.
And just where in the hell do you think you re going? Jason s
deep voice stopped her in her tracks, even more so than his hands
gripping her tight. He spun her around and pinned her with his electric
gaze. Why did you run from us?
The reasons swirled around in her head, making her dizzy.
Because you intimidate me, because I m scared of losing myself in
you, because I m scared I won t be able to please you.
Instead, all that came out was I I...
Jason s hands moved to her shoulders, and he gripped her harder.
Not enough to be painful, but to let her know she was not going
anywhere until she gave them answers.
You what, cupcake?
I she began again, but something penetrated her lust-filled,
insecure haze. Underneath all that bravado and frustration, she sensed
Jason s hurt. She did not realize she, Edie Bishop, lover of fair trade
coffee, potting plants, and painting, would ever have the ability to
hurt his feelings. Sure, she knew he was a red-blooded male with
wants and desires and emotions, but she did not realize until that
moment that some of those things could revolve around her.
Mr. Gorgeous Navy SEAL might have a soft spot for her. Go
figure.

I m sorry, she finally said. I didn t mean to be rude or abrupt.
It s just that well, you see, you re the first guys I ve seen in a while.
And I m just not really experienced with this whole dating, courtship
thing, so I just got a little unnerved, you know?
Jason regarded her for a moment, then smiled. It lit his eyes up,
and she had to glance away before she did something stupid, like stare
at him with her mouth hanging open. What were those dumbasses in
Austin thinking?
Edie felt the heat rise in her cheeks.
But what did you mean when you said it s been a while?
Crap. She really did not want them knowing how experienced she
was. Ahem, inexperienced.
Well, she hedged.
Yes?
Spit it out, Edie, Seth commanded.
She let out a breath. A while, okay? I dated this guy in college
for about six months, and after we broke up, I went on a few dates
here and there but nothing serious.
So you didn t sleep with any of them, then? Jason s hands
tightened on her shoulders.
That offended her, especially since she knew without a doubt that
he and Seth did not keep their junk in their pants. She bristled. What
business is that of yours?
His lips thinned and his jaw clenched. If not for the anger
bubbling just under the surface, Edie would have been turned on by it.
What business of ours is that, you ask? You told us you wanted us,
right?
She did not answer. She knew fully well what she said earlier.
Right? Seth pressed.
Yes, she snapped at him.
Well, we want you, too. And we re set on claiming you.

By claim, you mean date, right? Because no matter how many
times you manage to seduce me, and hey, you might even make me
love you, but you ll never own me. Let s just get that straight. She
narrowed her eyes at both of them and sent what she hoped was the
meanest look she could muster at them.
Okay, fine, fine. I m sorry. I overstepped my bounds. I m sorry,
Edie. Seth held his palms up as if trying to placate her.
That s more like it, she thought to herself, trying to hide her
smugness from them.
It s all right. Just be more polite about it. Geez, I m not
demanding your personal history from you, am I? So just ease off
mine.
Right. Because there was so much to tell. One guy. One. The
thought made her a little sad. How in the hell could she satisfy the raw
sexuality of these two men?
Well, how many are we talking?
Seth! Ease up, will you? I ll tell you when I m ready. Now
would you two like to come in for a drink or something?
She turned and opened the gate, but Seth got to it first and held it
open for her.
I have lemonade. Fresh squeezed, I might add. Lena made it this
morning. She turned her key and opened the front door, but this time
Jason held it open for her.
Thank you.
Seth closed the door behind her and glanced around.
Where is everybody?
I don t know, she replied. She took a step toward the kitchen to
see if Lena was there, but Jason wrapped an arm around her waist and
pushed her against the door, the stained glass pressing against her
back.

Jason s lips sucked on the sensitive flesh under her ear, and her
pussy clenched. She buried her face between his shoulder and neck
and moaned into his shirt.
We don t really want anything to drink, Edie, Seth said from
right next to her. But we do want to see what you taste like.
His words, his sex-filled voice, made her nipples harden and her
clit pulse. Her whole body ached to be touched, to be taken and
mastered by them.
Jason s hand followed the flare of her hip and headed slowly
toward her thigh. Edie s heart raced with anticipation, and her breath
caught in her chest. His fingertips reached the edge of her hem and
crept up her sensitized skin, closer and closer to her panties.
Heat blossomed under her skin, and she waited, breathless, as his
lips kissed their way toward her mouth while his fingers brushed the
inside of her thigh. She tried her best not to clench her legs together,
but it did not work. When his fingers brushed over her clit through her
panties, her thighs clamped shut.
It had been years since the last time another man s fingers touched
her there.
Open up for me, Edie, Jason crooned. Just a little. A groan
escaped him. That s it, just like that.
His deep voice sounded like gravel and caressed her senses like
velvet.
She heard her own high-pitched gasp when his fingers pushed the
crotch of her panties aside and brushed over her intimate flesh. She
clutched at him, her nails digging into his shirt as he claimed her open
mouth. His hot kisses absorbed her quiet gasps and moans as he
teased her entrance, then slowly caressed his way to her throbbing
clit.
You re so wet and hot for us, Edie, Jason crooned against her
lips.
Her knees gave out. Oh, my God, she heard herself whisper.
Edie Earns Her Saddle 57
Jason gathered her close and lifted her in his arms as if she
weighed nothing. He headed for the stairs.
Which one is your room?
* * * *
Fuck, he needed to get his raging hard-on under control.
It was impossible with Edie cradled close to his body and her
scent, her softness, her warmth invading his senses.
She was so soft and wet and hot for them. Jason could only
imagine what she would look like naked and writhing under them. He
could not wait to taste her, to put his tongue between her delicate
folds and feast on her pussy until she came against his face. He bet
she tasted like heaven.
That one. She pointed to a door on their right.
Seth stepped in front of them and opened it. Her scent enveloped
him as he stepped over the threshold to her room.
It was a large room, and there were candles everywhere. Votives,
tea lights, candles in glass containers, wax candles. Everywhere. They
made her room smell like some sort of dark, rich, night-blooming
flower that yielded the sweetest, most delectable fruit.
