good friend
to me. It’s your brothers who make me nervous,” she admitted. Her
gaze went automatically to her three other husbands all standing
together talking.
“ Well, I’ve talked to my
brothers and they’ve agreed that once we’re home, we can dispense
with tradition. They’re going to allow me to take you first, and
then they’ll go in descending order after that. And your first
claiming will be in private. You’ll still have to receive each of
us tonight, but you’ll at least lose your virginity privately, and
to someone you’re comfortable with.”
She sighed in relief. “That
will help. Thank you, Daniel. I appreciate you thinking about
that.”
“ We all understand how
scared and nervous you are, Callie. Twenty years ago, you’d be
getting ready for homecoming, and instead you’re getting ready for
your first time with four men. It’s a hard time to live in. We
talked about me being the only one to be with you tonight, but the
others have all waited so long that they said that was going too
far,” he told her apologetically.
“ I understand,” she
whispered. “It wouldn’t be fair to any of you for me to make you
wait. It’s my duty to accommodate all of you and do my best to get
pregnant.”
He nodded. “It is. We’ll
treat you like a queen, though, Callie. I promise you
that.”
She smiled up at him. “I
know you will.”
After the dance, she gave
each of her new husbands the obligatory kiss in age order as
required. William swept her into his arms and kissed her
passionately. He gently tangled his tongue with hers. Nathaniel
bent her over his arm and kissed her dramatically to the excitement
of the others present. Callie blushed when he returned her to her
feet and handed her off to Jason.
Jason pulled her tightly
against him and caressed her cheek, kissing her sweetly. Daniel
gave her a quick peck on the lips, trying to spare her
embarrassment.
She could easily see that
Daniel would be her favorite husband, although it wasn’t really
right to have favorites. He just seemed as if he would be the most
in tune with her needs.
They led her to the limo
that was waiting outside and she piled into the back with the men.
The drive to their house only took five minutes. Callie would have
preferred walking it, but her opinion hadn’t been asked. They were
probably trying to give her the best wedding experience they
possibly could, and she certainly couldn’t fault them for
it.
“ Thank you for renting a
limo,” she murmured looking down at her hands.
William reached over and
squeezed her hand. “It was the least we could do for our beautiful
bride.”
Beautiful? Callie stared at
him in amazement. She’d never thought of herself as
beautiful.
When they got to the house,
the men led her to her bedroom. She would have her own room, and
each brother would visit her in turn. She could invite them all in
together or one at a time. Typically a wedding night was a mass
affair with all of them on the bed together taking turns, but they
were showing her a true kindness by allowing her to have them one
at a time and start with the youngest. Usually it was the oldest
husband’s right to go first.
They obviously understood
her shyness, and she was grateful for it.
The other brothers pushed
her and Daniel inside the room and shut the door to give them
privacy. She looked at him with wide eyes. She didn’t even know how
to go about starting something like this.
Daniel moved toward her
slowly, removing his tuxedo jacket as he walked. “Would you feel
more comfortable undressing yourself or me undressing
you?”
Callie stared at him. “I’m
not going to feel comfortable with any of it, so it doesn’t really
matter.” She wished she could wake up in the morning, and all this
would be a memory. She didn’t mind the idea of being married to
them, but this first night was nerve-wracking for her.
He smiled. “If it were just
the two of us, I’d take hours with you, but my brothers
