    “Say yes, Lorna,” he whispered. “Say yes and let us show you we can make this work.” He wanted to kiss her so bad, but he stepped back instead. Jacob wanted the decision to be hers alone and he didn’t want her judgment clouded when she made it. Cole followed, giving her space. They had both made their pleas, now it was up to Lorna to decide.

Chapter 12
     
    Cole felt like his heart was going to beat out of his chest while he waited for Lorna’s answer. Please say yes! The thought screamed over and over in his head. He wanted to hide his hands behind his back and cross his fingers, but he stood perfectly still. She couldn’t say no. Cole had no idea what he would do if she did. He would be devastated. He couldn’t even think of anything he had ever wanted more than he wanted Lorna at that very moment. Being a Navy SEAL had been his dream for as long as he could remember, but he hadn’t even wanted that as much.
    He had to force himself to take a step away from her when Jacob did. He knew exactly why the big man was doing it, but he wanted to have her back in his arms. He wanted to feel her heat against him again.
    “This is crazy.” Lorna looked between the two of them. “I don’t know what to say.”
    Yes, yes, yes. He only wanted to hear one word come out of her mouth and Cole chanted it in his head as if he could will her to say it.
    “I can’t be the one who comes between you two. I can’t be like her.”
    Cole knew what she was talking about. Jacob had filled him in on her mother and why the town couldn’t stand Lorna. He had wanted to go hunt the townspeople down and kill a few of them, but Jacob had stopped him. He understood why Lorna had kissed him in the diner, but he couldn’t bring himself to regret the kiss. Watching Lorna as she ran her tongue over her bottom lip, he wanted to do it over again right then and there.
    “It’s not going to happen,” Jacob said. Cole could hear the confidence in Jacob’s voice and he hoped Lorna did as well.
    Lorna nodded. “Okay.”
    That was all she could get out before Jacob grabbed her and pulled her to him. Cole watched as the man practically devoured her lips. He was already hard, but he felt himself growing harder as her watched their kiss. Cole felt the wet spot on the front of his underwear growing and knew his cock was leaking. When Jacob finally pulled away, he turned Lorna toward Cole. Her lips were swollen and red and she had a dazed look on her face. She was the sexiest thing Cole had ever seen.
    “Finally,” he said, right before he pulled her into his arms and pressed his lips to hers. Cole felt Lorna’s moan vibrate against his tongue when he slipped it into her open mouth sending sparks of pleasure shooting straight to his cock. He spread his fingers through her short hair and gripped it slightly so he could tilt her head. Once Cole had her positioned where he wanted her, he deepened the kiss, tracing every inch of her mouth.
    The slight pain from Lorna’s short nails digging into his forearms almost had him coming in his jeans. Cole pulled away from her, panting and tried to gain his composure. He was tempted to strip her right there in the kitchen, lean her against the counter, and bury his hard cock deep inside her pussy.
    “Take her to the bedroom,” Jacob rasped. “I’ll finish cleaning up and join you in a moment.”
    Cole looked over at Jacob. He saw the strain on the man’s face and knew he was just as affected by Lorna. He knew what Jacob was doing, though, and he was grateful. The man was not only giving Cole some time alone with Lorna, but Jacob was allowing Cole to be alone with her to prove to her he could handle the two of them together.
    Cole nodded at Jacob before lifting Lorna in his arms and heading down the short hallway. He went straight to Jacob’s room and laid her on the large bed. “You’re so beautiful,” he told her as he stared down at her. Having her laying there spread out for him like a banquet, he didn’t know where to start.
    “You have no idea how much I want you right now. Just your sweet scent alone makes me want to lick you from head to toe to see if you taste as good as you smell.”
    Lorna moaned at his words causing Cole to lose what little self control he had been barely holding on to. He climbed on to the bed and used his shoulders to spread her thighs until he lay between her legs. He leaned forward and ran his tongue along the thin strip of skin between her
