Accepting My Twin Mates Chapter 20

Chapter 20 – Does A Day Make A Difference?

Evie

I awoke next to Lucy. She looked so peaceful, an easy expression softening her face. I hoped wherever Finley was, he was suffering and was in turmoil. He deserved it and more.

Astennu and Badru… they never hesitated in the slightest. When I asked them, or rather snapped at them, to watch out for Finley heading anywhere near the kitchens, they did and they protected Lucy without question.

‘And they threatened him,’ Evva gruffled. ‘Maybe they don’t share a brain cell after all.’

‘High praise coming from you.’

‘Speaking of wingus and dingus, we should shake a leg and go pretend to take them breakfast,’ she yawned.

I stretched a little, trying not to jostle my friend. She needed the rest and I hoped she wasn’t putting on a brave face when she said she was fine. I crept to the door, slowly turning the knob…

‘Good luck,’ I heard her sing-song voice fill my mind.

Her eyes were closed but there was a tiny smirk playing across her lips. I grabbed one of the pillows discarded on the floor and hurled it at her.

“Rude!” She squeaked.

“What? It’s a throw pillow,” I stuck out the tip of my tongue at her, playfully, and exited her room before she could launch it back at me.

I shook my head, hearing the soft thud on the door, having narrowly avoided her retaliation. I went to my cold room and, after putting the heater on, I took a quick shower, making sure to wear a thick-knit turtleneck to hide my marking sites this time and put my hair up into two low buns. I made my way to the kitchens, reaching out to the twins along the way.

‘Am I ok to come up?’ I tried to keep my thoughts level. It wasn’t as though I was asking for permission. I just didn’t want to show up, kick the door down and find one of them bare-ass… I had already seen enough of those heavenly… muscular… posteriors.

‘Huh?’ Badru’s voice was first to respond, sounding as though he had just been startled awake.

‘We’re awake and in my room,’ Astennu replied, amused. ‘I’ve tried nudging him awake for the last ten minutes. He hears your voice once and he sits bolt upright in the bed,’ I could tell that this little divulgence was strictly mind-linked between the two of us.
