friends and family present to see the couple get married.
That reminded her that she was now a married woman to not only one husband, but three, and Brianna was somewhat stunned.
Shaking her head, she wondered why she would feel that way, since she had come here with every intention of becoming wife to three men. However, she hadn’t expected it to happen so fast and one of them to be a man she really wasn’t very sure about—strike that—a man who made her feel very uncomfortable.
Hearing Adam come out of the building after her, she looked back, and a quiver of fear went through her, which had nothing to do with her new husband and everything to do with why she had come there in the first place. If her uncle came looking for her, he would immediately go to the law enforcer’s office, but then she calmed down thinking that he would find out that she was now married and that her marriage was legal, so she would be safe.
The question, though, was would she be safe with Adam and his brothers?

Adam brooded all the way from town. He could feel the girl sitting beside him in the wagon that carried the monthly supplies, glancing warily at him as they made their way to the farm he shared with his brothers. He had discovered when drawing up the contract that her name was Brianna.
He knew she was uncomfortable since he wasn’t saying a word, but then he always was the silent one out of his siblings, spending his time thinking rather than vocalizing his thoughts, and this was one big thought he was having—one big moment of regret.
What the hell possessed me to marry the girl? He knew of Curt’s plan and had thought it stupid, which made it even more reason to wonder why he had done it. If Curt had met the girl first and had taken out a contract and brought her back to the farm, he would have honored it—after having serious words with him—but why had he taken the initiative?
Hell, I know perfectly well why. My dick is dictating my head .
Brianna was not only young, but lovely. She might be short, probably a whole foot shorter than him, but she had a heart-shaped face, and when she had smiled at him as she thanked him for rescuing her, a tremor had gone through him the like of which he had never experienced before. He wasn’t used to women smiling at him—other than his late mother. He’d only had one sexual partner in his life.
While his father had still been alive, he had taken each of his sons to the big town, Eden, to ensure they had had instruction at the brothel. Adam had only been a young man at the time, but it had been an experience in humiliation as he had ejaculated barely moments Wife for Three

Consequently, he hadn’t attempted any form of social interactivity with any woman ever again. No dancing, no kissing, not even talking.
Until the day he had rescued a lovely girl from two rough men and ended up married to her.
A sound interrupted his black thoughts. The girl, Brianna, was clearing her throat nosily. He glanced around at her, irritated.
“Um, are we going to stop soon?” she asked, not taking his look as a warning to be quiet.
“Not if you want to get home before dark we aren’t.” He went back to his dark ruminations.
She was silent for a few more moments before speaking again.
“Can we please stop just for a second?”
Adam frowned and turned his head to her. She was clearly taken aback at his expression this time as she looked scared. It didn’t make him glower any less. “Why?”
Sighing, she answered quietly, “A girl has needs.” What the hell is she on about? He frowned more fiercely.
“Don’t you ever need to go?” Her voice was shaky.
“Go where? We’re in the middle of the wilderness with wild animals out there, lady.”
“To—The—Toilet,” she iterated patiently.
He cursed and pulled the horse to a stop, grabbing a knife known as a longblade as
