Accepting My Twin Mates Chapter 71
Chapter 68 – The View?
Astennu
“So, has Elan’s sage and basil oil been a triumph?” I whispered in Evie’s ear, placing a few butterfly kisses on that wonderfully soft patch of skin at the back of it. It was strange how well such a delicate plant scent paired perfectly with her strong and heady spiced vanilla aroma.
The ice water sloshed up the sides of the roll-top bath when her back arched as I pressed my thumbs in between her shoulder blades, easing her sore muscles.
“It works a treat,” her head fell back onto my chest, tickling my nose with the herb scent of her conditioner.
The potency of her scent was dissipating, decreasing to near enough her pre-heat levels. The burning still lingered in her flesh, though, and her exertions had caught up with her in the form of immensely tight and drained muscles. I thought the more primal state of her heat would have lasted longer, considering she had almost broken us yesterday. And that wasn’t an exaggeration. I was fairly certain she had cracked a rib.
‘She actually cracked three,’ Aasim poked in. ‘It was right as she shoved us back down in that rather spirited session of reverse cowgirl. Which is a feat since she was facing away.’
‘You sound impressed like you want another bout?’
‘You don’t?’ He said it as though it was a dumb question.
‘Maybe without the bone breaking.’
‘Where’s the fun in that,’ he rolled his eyes.
“You know, a girl could get used to this,” Evie sighed when the planes of my hands rounded the smooth curves of her shoulders and my brother worked the soles of her feet, propped up on the lip of the bath.
“You do seem to like a good foot rub,” Badru kissed the pad of her toe.
“As long as it doesn’t end with you in your pit of despair again, drama llama,” although his little breakdown led to his breakthrough, so maybe there was an upside wallowing.
“For your information,” he shot back with a pointed look. “My foot rub got me to third base.”
“And it was that dumb mouth that got you the strikeout,” Evie poked at his lips with the tip of her toe. “So quit while you’re ahead.”
“Your shoulder feel better?” I asked, taking out her hair piled up on her head to rinse out.
“Yeah,” she rolled it, testing for any lingering twinges. “But it still feels like you guys broke it downstairs, though.”
From the puzzled look on my brother’s face and the flash of confusion that flickered through our bond, I knew exactly what my twin was about to say before the words fell from him.
“How can we break something when our lodge doesn’t have a downstairs?”
‘There he goes, right on schedule,’ my wolf shook his head.
Evie reached out, patting him on the head, “I’ll tell you when you’re older.”
