to the table and smiled when he saw where their woman was.
    “I said we’re going to court you properly, and I meant it. That way you can get to know us, the kind of men that we are, and we can get to know you better, too. It will also give us a chance to get to know your family, and your friends and your roots.”
    “Roots are important to us,” Drew said. “Did we ever tell you how we met?”
    “No.” She looked over her shoulder at Devon. “You can put me down. I won’t leave.”
    “But I like having you on my lap.” He grinned at her, giving her his best smile.
    Julia sighed. “Don’t I get a choice in anything?”
    Dev shifted her and used his hand to gently lift her head so she could see his face, meet his gaze and, more importantly, so he could see hers.
    “Yes, of course you do. If you can look me in the eye and tell me you don’t want to get to know us, that you’re not interested in having a relationship with us,”—Dev inhaled and mentally crossed his fingers—“if you can tell us you don’t already love us, then yes. Say the word and we’ll leave you alone.”
    He saw the truth in her eyes before she uttered a word.
    Thank God.
    “Damn you,” she said. Despite the words, he heard no real heat in her curse.
    “Kitten? We might be bossy sometimes—” Drew stopped in midsentence because Julia snorted. Drew smiled and shrugged. “Okay, we may be bossy most of the time. But we’re not interested in bossing you . We just want to love you.”
    Dev decided to relent. He kissed her ear again, then set her on the chair she’d occupied before he’d teased her nearly out the door.
    “How can you be so sure I’m what you want?” Julia looked at Drew, then back at him again. “How can you be so sure that you love me and that you want to marry me? Do you have any idea how seriously I take relationships and marriage?”
    Dev nodded. “Very seriously, if your lack of dating in New York is any indication.”
    “But I didn’t really meet anyone who appealed to me, except that one asshole.”
    Dev grinned. “But you see? If you didn’t take these things so seriously, you’d have gone out with anyone who asked, just for shits and giggles. But you didn’t. And yes, Clarence is an asshole. He better hope we never meet him.”
    Julia shook her head. “You confuse me. You overwhelm me and confuse me so I don’t know which end is up.”
    “Maybe we should answer your last question first.” Dev looked over at Drew and waited for his nod of approval. When he got it, he met Julia’s gaze again. “Maybe we should tell you how it is we can be so certain that you’re it for us.”
    “Maybe you should. Maybe then I might have some insight into what’s important to you .”
    Dev had never found it easy to discuss things of a deeply emotional nature. He knew that between them, he and Drew could love Julia into agreement. But they’d rather have her totally on the same page with them.
    “Our last mission went bad. Our team was ambushed, and then pinned down in-country. Drew and I thought we were going to die—as three of our team already had. In those hours before dawn, before we were rescued, we thought about you. Julia, what we’d felt with you was more real, and more powerful than anything we’d ever experienced before. And we made a vow to each other that if we survived, we would find you, and woo you, and wed you.”
    “But was that real? Or was it only made to seem so by the desperation of the circumstances?” That she would even ask that proved to him that their Julia was a woman of substance, a woman who listened, and a woman whose morality ran deep.
    “It’s been more than six months since we were rescued, sweet Julia, and neither one of us has changed our minds,” Drew said.
    “All we’re asking for right now, is that you let us be with you. What do you say, baby doll? Why not give us a chance?”

    Julia waited for her heart to stop trying to burst out of her chest.
