Accepting My Twin Mates Chapter 48
Chapter 48 – A Segment Of Advice?
Astennu
I peppered kisses along her neck, soothing her as she fell asleep. Whether this was a dream or a reality, I couldn’t tell. All I knew was my world held a new burst of colour, everything seemed stronger. Evie’s spicy vanilla scent, faintly mixed with ours, was all I ever wanted in this new world of mine.
…Goddess, I love her so much…
I wanted to shout it. I realised now the emotion that had been playing behind my mind recently was this: love.
‘You say something?’ Badru sleepily mind-linked me.
My eyes widened and a mild panic spread. ‘…No?’
s**t, did I say that through the mind-link? Did she hear?!
‘Maybe our twin just sensed it?’ Aasim was unconvincing at best. ‘Just play it cool in the morning and everything will be fine.’
…f**k.
I really hoped I hadn’t mind-linked that mistake. Evie wasn’t ready to hear it.
My brother and I were way further into this relationship than she was. We had admired her in secret for years. She had avoided us like the plague over the same period. And she seemed much more resistant to the bond’s effects than we were. It didn’t make her inebriated on it, as it did with us.
Where sleep was calling me before, now I was wired awake fretting. I had better not have just made a monumental fuck-up. That was Badru’s department.

Soft and light scratches across my stomach roused me into consciousness. A soft feminine hand slowly trailed its nails up and down my skin, shuddering a deep but quiet growl from my chest. Aasim’s mental form had melted into a mass of groans and leg kicks, like he was some pampered lap dog.
“Hmmm, that feels amazing. Any wolf who says otherwise, is lying,” I cracked open an eye to see my brother already awake and nuzzling into Evie’s neck. “Except maybe Badru,” I smirked at him as he abruptly stopped his affections with our mate to glare at me, warning me I had better not say it. “He’s ticklish.”
My twin made a face as though he had just received the worst betrayal imaginable. “Seriously?! Khayin (traitor).”
“Really?” A wicked smile carved across Evie’s face and she raised her hands in threat, wiggling her fingers.
“No! No, no,” he leapt out of bed, swishing the blanket back in one clean sweep.
“Oh, come on. I haven’t even done anything yet!” She laughed at him bolting for the door.
“Nope, I’m out,” he banged the door shut behind him, not caring he was leaving the room naked.
“He’s super ticklish. Right in the ribs,” I whispered in her ear, kissing the soft patch of flesh on her neck and sliding an arm around her bare waist.
“I’ll remember that one,” she hummed in amusement, turning in my grasp to sit in my lap.
Her nakedness wasn’t helping my morning situation in the slightest. Her bare ass cheeks sliding against my c**k was conjuring images from last night and distracting me from my current task, to nonchalantly probe whether she heard my unintentional mind-link.
“How are you feeling this morning?” Her soft lips brushed mine, deepening the kiss with a languid twist of her tongue.
“Like I’m still flying,” I chuckled, a note of nerves slipping through. And like I could fall at any second, I internally added, or prayed I had internally added. Because clearly, I had little control over my impulses around this woman anymore.
I felt an eternal silence stretch between us, a silence so loud it almost drowned out the thudding in my ears.
‘Words?’ Aasim reminded me. ‘Words would be good right now.’
“Uhhh,” I so eloquently stumbled.
