I said yes.
Of course I did.
Beau Barnett is the first boy I ever had a crush on, and the man I’ll love for the rest of my life.
He’s overbearing, obsessed, and a pain in the ass, and in spite of, or maybe because of that I still want to marry him. His love consumes me, suffocates me and drives me crazy, but I know it’ll never fade. He’ll always chase after me, he’ll always find me and he’ll always take me home, because he’s my home, he’s my real-life dream come true.
Everything didn’t suddenly become perfect the moment I agreed to marry him. He still hates me working so much, hates that I insist on going out on girls’ night outs, hates that I won’t give up work so we can be together twenty-four seven. But after we argue, we get to make up, and we both enjoy him trying to fuck me into doing whatever he wants. It never works, but it’s sure fun to keep trying.
I moved into his house with his brothers the day after I said yes, and all the boys and my dad are working on the plans for the extension they’re going to build onto the existing home, so Beau and I can have our own space without him having to move away from his family. We also built a road between my dad’s property and ours, so now it’s only a quick walk or a ride in one of the golf carts we bought to see each other.
My brother reluctantly apologized after Beau and I announced our engagement, but to be honest I don’t think we’ll ever get the type of relationship I’d like us to have. Luckily when Beau claimed me, he not only gave me himself, he also gave me six equally over the top, overbearing brothers, who all now think of me as a little sister. We’re one big, weird family, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Everyone in our sleepy mountain town wanted a taste of the oldest Barnett Brother, but the only one he wanted was me. I thought he only saw the girl who brought him his coffee, turned out he knew exactly who I was—his.
Now I’m the property of a mountain man, and instead of dreaming about him and what it would be like to be with him, we’re going to spend the rest of our lives making both of our fantasizes come true.
