I tried to ignore the knocking on my front door, but it only got louder. âHold your horses. Iâll be there in a minute.â
I rolled Cora to her side, making sure not to wake her. She must be exhausted after I took her three more times during the night. I grabbed a quilt from the couch to wrap around my naked body and stomped to the front door. âThis better be an emergency.â I jerked open the door, and standing in front of me was my best friend, Blake, and the other woman in the picture I have of Sara, I mean Cora.
âWhereâs Cora?â The pixie-like girl brushes past me, Blake trailing behind.
âWhat are you doing in my house?â I barked. A feeling of unease creeps up my spine.
âIâm here for my sister Cora. I canât let her solve my problems anymore. Iâm Sara. Iâm your mail-order bride. I agreed to marry you, and Iâll do it.
Blake growls beside her, and she reaches out and touches his cheek, âItâs ok. Youâre right. I need to grow up and stop letting my sister fight my battles.â
âI didnât mean this.â Blake scowled at the girl.
Wait, sheâs Sara? Why did Cora let me believe she was my bride?
I see red as anger pulses through my body. I look to where I left Cora sleeping by the fireplace. Sheâs awake now, her emerald green eyes wide and the blanket clutched to her chest.
âI-I can explain.â She stammered, holding her hand out to me. When I ignored it, she stood facing me, wrapping the blanket around her curvy body.
âThereâs nothing to explain. You thought you could pull one over on the dumb mountain man.â I stared into her beautiful lying face and went for the kill. âWas your virginity payment to release Sara from the marriage contract? I mean, your virgin pussy was sweet but hardly worth the price of giving up a bride.â
Coraâs fist connects with my jaw, and I nod to Blake. âCome on, Sara, help Cora get her things so that we can leave Nash alone.â Blake ushered Sara with a hand to the small of her back.
I hear them rushing around the cabinâthe bathroom door slamming. Knowing Cora is in there putting on her clothes so she can leave me almost guts me.
I stare out the window, watching the snow melt as it runs down the glass windowpane. If they donât leave soon, the roads will be too muddy to drive on, and they will be stuck here.
I donât turn around when I hear my front door open. I canât. Iâm afraid Iâll do something stupid like begging Cora to stay. But how can I trust her after she lied to my face?
âMy virginity might not be worth the price of a bride, but I wonder if my heart is worth anything because itâs yours now.â The door clicked shut, and I was left alone. The only sound is the beating of my heart and the ticking of the clock on the wall.
