Accepting My Twin Mates Chapter 42

Chapter 42 – Want To Play A Game?

“I wanna go back to training with Tamlyn. There’s only one of her!”

I was exhausted. The rest of the class had left a few hours ago, leaving my mates and me alone. I had noticed Finley had vanished not long into the session. Beta Kate had tried to go after him, to bring him back, but her return alone told of her failure to convince him.

I had sparred mainly with Badru as he was the best with defensive holds. Astennu was better with offensive attacks, and goddess, was he fast. I realised how stupid my idea was to run away when I first discovered they were my mates. Even if I’d had a wolf form, I would never have gotten far.

“Why aren’t either of you tired?!” I propped myself up on my elbows.

For some reason, it angered me that all they had was a sheen of sweat across their skin… their glistening golden skin ripped, defined, and none of it for show. It was one thing feeling each of those muscles in bed, it was another feeling the true strength lying coiled deep within.

“Don’t worry. Once you shift, your stamina and strength will increase,” Astennu offered his hand for me to stand. “You’ll notice the difference pretty much straight away.”

Feeling just his hand upon mine stirred all the memories from our training. How those hands had skimmed my arms, making minor corrections to my punches, and gripped my hips, bettering my stances. I knew he had let me land a few easy blows, smiling down at me with approval, his large palm lingering over my stomach to keep me close for as long as possible.

And Badru? I could practically feel my face heating at our display. Not that I should have expected anything else. We had gone through several counter-pins, all with a particular theme involving my thighs in some form or another. Each time, a tiny groan left his lips and his erection had brushed me on multiple occasions.

My legs felt a little like jelly, strained from exertion and I winced, knowing my baking plans may have to wait for the following day. I had wanted to make something for Lucy, a little pick-me-up sweet treat. She loved chocolate and cherries, and life always seemed more bearable with sugar.

“What’s up?” Badru frowned, sensing my shift in mood.

“It’s nothing. I wanted to bake is all…” I squealed suddenly as Astennu unexpectedly lifted me bridal style. “What’re you doing?!”

“Carrying you, what’s it look like?” He pecked my lips. “You can order us around and we’ll help you make whatever you want.”

He began walking to the door and I hadn’t even put a coat on.

“Don’t worry, I’ll grab all our things,” Badru huffed behind us.

“Before you whirl me away,” I tapped the man handler’s shoulder. “Can I put my hoodie on first?” And I secretly loved how Badru’s face lit up when I called it ‘mine’, the tiny hint of his dimple showing under his facial hair.

My head was barely through the hole before Astennu was snatching me up again, eager to make up for his lack of tussling.

“So where to, mi’ lady?” He grinned.

“There’s no way I’m baking in your kitchen, so pack kitchens I guess?”

I had gotten out of having any sort of run-in with Janet, the head housekeeper, ever since the twins returned home. I had not been so fortunate this afternoon, although I was met with a far less hostile reception this time. She welcomed the Alphas and offered me a somewhat tight-lipped smile that Evva commented looked akin to trapped gas.

Whether either of us liked it or not, our lives would always be joined; avoidance wouldn’t be an option for long. Not that I wasn’t about to try and avoid her like the plague for as long as conceivable.
