Excerpt from Mary’s Men
“This is stupid,” Thomas hissed as they rounded the corner of Mary’s house. “We’re going to get shot.”
“Shhh.” Paul leaned to his left to see through the darkened window. “We’re not going to get shot. Aunt Marcy left for the weekend and Mary is here alone.”
“How do you know that?”
“Mary mentioned it in one of her letters. Marcy takes the trip every year.”
“You’re nuts. If I have to pick buckshot out of my ass, I’m going to kick yours.”
Paul elbowed him. “Shut up. She’s not going to shoot us.”
“Shows what you know,” he muttered. “Mary’s sweet, but she’s got a badass side.”
Paul figured his brother was right. He wouldn’t be attracted to some wilting flower, but he still didn’t think she would pull a gun on them. After the last letter, he’d known it was do-or-die time. Mary was the right woman for them. No one else would fit the bill and she loved them. Her letter said she did, but the consequences were more than she could face. Nuts to consequences. He was going to sit her down and make her realize how much she couldn’t live without them.
If that didn’t work, they’d move to the bedroom.
“I still say this is a bad idea,” Thomas muttered. “We should have come during the day. Called first.”
Had they done that, she would have had time to prepare. She’d had that last time and she’d sent them away. This would be better. He tried the doorknob, coaxing it until it opened. He grinned at Thomas before pushing it in. The sound of a cocking gun stopped him cold.
