Mated to the Alpha Twins

Chapter 48

Read Mated to the Alpha Twins [by Jane Doe] Chapter 48 – “Time to wake up, doll.” Alec murmured; a gentle hand pressed against my shoulder.

“No.” I groaned, grasping at the warmth that remained in bed.

My source of heat was coming from the other man in my bed, the one who curled his arms around my waist, nuzzling his face into my hair with a content groan. The heat seemed to radiate from the twins in waves, and I noticed the thin sheen of sweat that coated my body. Kade smelled of citrus and wood, a crackling bonfire, comfort and safety. His scent lulled me into sleep, only for Alec’s voice to tug me into awareness.

“We have a long day ahead of us, doll.” Alec chuckled lowly, another gentle shove to my shoulder.

I mustered up the strength to open my eyes, giving Alec a half-hearted glare. Kade snored softly, his dark lashes fanned out against his cheeks. All signs of stress and anger had been wiped from his face, making him look peaceful and angelic. Kade groaned at the sound of his brother’s voice, and I watched in awed silence as his eyes fluttered open. For a moment, disbelief coursed through him at the sight of me, sleeping in his arms. The next emotion to plague him was irritation at his brother, the one forcing us from this comfortable bed.

“Ten more minutes.” Kade huffed, his voice deeper in the early hours of morning. He wrapped his arms tighter around me, his face buried in the crook of my neck.

“Thirty minutes.” I chimed in, pushing my face into the soft pillow.

“It seems I have another person to fight in the morning.” Alec smirked; his eyebrow cocked. I watched as his eyes softened, and I could feel his resolve snap like a weak thread. With a defeated sigh, Alec slipped into bed behind me, entangling our limbs once again.

Alec let us sleep in for another thirty minutes, refusing to leave Kade or I alone until we were up and moving. The top of Kade’s hair stood at a funny angle as he wiped the sleep from his eyes, shooting his brother a d***y look.

The scent of food wafted from the first floor, and I found myself surprised that I could pick out each individual note. Maple, garlic, pepper, freshly cooked eggs, sausage, toasted bread and jam. Each scent swirled through my nose, unique yet blending together perfectly. My stomach howled in response, the perfect motivator to pull me from bed.

“It seems food is enough to get you both up and running.” Alec snorted, an incredulous grin on his face as he watched my movements increase in speed. His eyes felt like weights as they grazed over me, running my body slowly as if to make up lost time.

“Food is a valid reason to leave bed.” I shrugged, giving him a soft smile.

As Kade sat on the bed to put his shoes on, I walked over and stood in front of him. I savored the taste of Kade’s tangy surprise as it coated my tongue, running my fingers through his unruly hair. Kade’s large hands wrapped around my wrists, his eyes darting up to meet my own.

“What are you doing, sweetheart?” He asked, that morning growl still lingering in his words.

“You had bed head.” I pointed out, nibbling on my bottom lip as a light blush stained my face.

Kade released my wrists, placing one of my hands back onto his head. I smiled softly to myself, running my fingers through the strands of his hair until they remained in one place. Kade’s satisfaction from my touch rumbled in his chest, and I needn’t feel his emotions to know what he was thinking.

“Keep doing that, and you’ll have him wrapped around your finger.” Alec whispered in my ear as we walked downstairs.

I turned to meet Alec’s eyes, reading the softness that hid within his gaze, reserved for only me.

“And what about you?” I asked sweetly, my voice thick like honey.
