Accepting My Twin Mates Chapter 45
Chapter 45 – A Little Date? – I of II
Evie
Every inch of my skin thrummed with an underlying tremble of gratification and contentment. I had seen colours, stars, fireworks… a whole damned brass band… you name it.
‘If that’s what we get for being mean, what incentive do we have to play nice?’ Evva snickered, sprawled and sated in bliss.
Astennu placed fluttering butterfly kisses against my neck, the tiny caresses and tingles that accompanied danced their way to my lips. Badru leaned into my stomach, his breath tickling my naked skin and my thighs cradling his body to mine.
“Would you want to go out on a little date with us?” Astennu’s voice held a slight sway.
I was unsure whether it was due to lingering euphoria, or nerves of an actual date. The concept of a relationship was all new to him. He would have never asked a woman out on a date before, let alone taken her out on one.
‘We’ve just ridden his face like the Kentucky Derby and he thinks there’s a chance we’ll say no, why?’ My wolf snorted at his adorable hint of uncertainty.
“What do you have in mind?” I ran my fingers through his hair and his twin’s, savouring how the silky locks felt slipping through my hands.
“That’s a surprise,” Badru crawled up my body, nuzzling into my cleavage, and side glanced at his brother. “But I think you’ll like it.”
My instinct to hate surprises roared to the forefront. I didn’t mean to frown, it was just a natural reaction to hearing the sentence ‘it’s a surprise’. My mates’ surprises, so far, had been anything but terrible. They had truly made me smile.
“We don’t have to if you don’t want to,” Astennu poorly hid the disappointment from both his tone and face.
“No, I want to!” I rushed out as fast as I could. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to make a face. It’s kind of a default response.”
‘I’m starting to think I should’ve made good on my threat to brain slap you,’ Evva smacked her head repeatedly on the walls of my mind.
‘I can’t help it. It’s a natural reaction!’
‘Being a dumb muffin is your factory setting. Registered and understood.’
All those years I had waited for my wolf, wished for her, longed to hear her… what, under the moon, was I thinking?!
