Accepting My Twin Mates Chapter 15

Chapter 15 – Do We Have Competition?

Evie

Both Astennu and Badru seemed deep in contemplation, neither looking up as I emerged from the doorway. My eyes landed on Badru first, dressed in a black three-piece suit and a dark silver open-collar shirt. Dark stubble lined his jaw, adding to his whole ‘bad-boy’ appearance, and his hair was tied back with a few strands hanging down effortlessly. Astennu was dressed in a dark blue three-piece suit and a crisp white shirt, also open-collar. Unlike his brother, Astennu had left his silky ebony hair down, the waves flowing around his neck. His clean-shaven face only highlighted his sharp cheekbones and angular jaw.

Both were unfairly handsome.

Each suit fit its wearer impeccably, like a second skin. They did nothing to hide the twins’ broad physique, only accentuate them…

‘Can you ask them to change into something that doesn’t make me think dirty things?’ Evva groaned.

Badru was the first to finally notice me, tugging on his brother’s arm to gain his attention. Their once magnetic sapphire eyes quickly swirled black, showing their waning control. The sight was churning the feeling in the pit of my stomach. I wanted to run, but their intense stare held me fixed and hostage. For the first time, the bond tugged painfully, wanting me to run towards them.

‘Be warned, they’re probably smelling our arousal,’ Evva gulped in a rare show of nerves. ‘And don’t you dare tell me to try and control it… control left along with my common sense at seeing the pair of packages in those pants.’

‘You are literally the most fickle creature on this planet,’ I grumbled. Her hot and cold antics were giving me a headache.

As I steadily approached the twins, I noticed their eyes kept flickering to my neck, their chest heaving each time.

‘This is probably a good time to mention the mistake you’ve made with our hair,’ my wolf chuckled to herself.

‘What mistake?’

‘You’ve pulled it to the side, exposing our neck, a marking site for one of our mates. You are advertising it to them right now,’ she smirked.

While I felt a sense of dread wash over me, there was also a strange sense of satisfaction that I was unknowingly taunting them, teasing them; a dangerous game but a gratifying game all the same. It was silly and in no way made up for what had been done, but the chance to f**k with them all night was too good to pass up. Sure, it would be difficult for me also, but worth it. Little Alphas that were used to getting what they wanted, when they wanted it, with no effort? They were going to find out the meaning of ‘restraint’ and ‘sufferance’ with me by the time I was through.

‘So…’ I mind-linked, feeling all my confidence evaporate with their broad figures surrounding me. ‘This is probably gonna suck for the three of us, but we’re just going to do it, ok?’

They both nodded, not uttering a single word.

‘Right then,’ I took a deep breath. ‘Get your game faces on.’

Their expressions didn’t relax in the slightest. They looked uncomfortable and strained.

‘Is that seriously your game faces? You look constipated,’ was ‘act naturally’ a foreign concept for them?

They gave me identically offended looks, but I didn’t have the energy to argue with either twin.

‘Ok, whatever. Let’s make constipated work,’ I shook my head and turned to go do my job, smirking a little to myself as Evva howled in laughter in my head, the two of us mentally high-fiving each other.

Badru

Her dress looked as though it was painted onto her skin. It hid nothing from my eyes and made my brain turn to mush. I couldn’t even get my mind-link to work, let alone my mouth.

And because of how close our packs were as allies, he was a frequent visitor. We were far more than some ‘friends with benefits’. He was one of the only men who showed a genuine interest in me and I came to really care for him. So much so that when he asked me if I would consider being his chosen mate… I almost said yes.
