Mated to the Alpha Twins

Read Mated to the Alpha Twins [by Jane Doe] Chapter 73 – “I can do that myself.” I told Alec, sitting up from the pale couch in the gym’s lounge.

After some much-needed time together, I was a little more than ready to head home and take a long shower. Not only had the sweat began to dry to my skin, but I now had a comfortable soreness between my legs. Alec had scrounged up a wash cloth and was currently running it under the cold water of the sink. Every so often his eyes would dart over to where I laid; completely undressed and surprisingly unabashed on the couch.

“You sure about that, doll?” He flashed me a grin that made my insides melt.

It was hard not to smile when the Twin’s looked at me this way. I would’ve once called myself clinically insane for claiming to love a man I had only known for a month or so. While in this case I had two men, things were different with them. I felt like I knew them in a way I didn’t with others, that there was no other alternative for me to love them as deeply as they loved me. Over time, love changes and grows, but I knew ours wouldn’t ever lessen.

“I’m pretty sure I can handle a wash cloth.” I smirked.

My smirk quickly turned to a pout when Alec batted my hands away, and began dabbing at his release, which just so happened to be sitting on my stomach. Neither one of us had been prepared, but I suppose it was better than the alternative. While I wasn’t completely opposed to the thought of having children with Alec and Kade, I knew I wasn’t going to rush into anything.

While the wash cloth was made of a horribly scratchy material, each brush of his hand was incredibly gentle. They were both so rough—so dominate during s*x, but this was different. Each time I had slept with them, they always insisted on taking care of me afterwards. The few times I had thought about being intimate with a guy, this wasn’t something I thought would happen afterwards.

“Really? I’m fairly sure you almost passed out at some point back there.” Alec’s chuckle was a deep rumble that I could feel in the pit of my stomach. His amused and humorous smile told me he was only halfway joking.

“Oh, I did not!” I scoffed, unable to keep a grin from forming on my own face.

I smacked his hands away and watched as he walked over to the sink. Alec grabbed a second wash cloth and ran it under the cold water before settling back onto the couch. His calloused hands were incredibly gentle as he ran his fingers up the smooth skin of my t***h.

“If we were home, I’d use something much softer.” He frowned, using the softer side of the wash cloth to clean the inside of my thighs.

“Honestly, you’re perfect.” I chuckled a bit breathlessly, feeling the effects of his touch far too strongly. I was sure my body would never stop reacting to their touches, and I looked forward to every heated and gentle moment between us. “You and Kade both are.”

A quick flash of disbelief rolled through him. It was nearly too fast for me to detect, but I could taste a slight bitter edge to the emotion.

“Don’t tell Kade that.” He chuckled, giving no sign that he had even felt that quick flash of emotion. “I like to think his ego is a bit bigger than mine.”

“Mm, I think the two of you are evenly matched.” I teased, noticing that the humor didn’t reach Alec’s eyes. My lips twitched into a frown as I met his eyes, feeling that same bitter emotion roll through me. “What’s wrong, Alec? Don’t try to fool me, you know I can feel your emotions.”

“No point in hiding it, is there?” He flashed me a devastatingly soft smile, one that filled me with both warmth and icy cold.

He picked my sports bra off the floor and untangled the stretchy fabric. I let him take his time gathering his thoughts, and smiled as he helped me into it. Next came my underwear and leggings, both of which smelled as though they needed a good wash. I couldn’t believe how much I had truly sweat today, more than I ever had in my life, I was sure.

Only when the two of us were fully dressed, did I plop down on Alec’s lap. This was different than earlier. There was nothing s****l behind my actions, and my only goal was to wipe those negative emotions from him before they could linger and fester.

I was happy, happier than I had ever been in my life and I needed to know what was troubling him so much. I settled onto his lap, and sighed as his muscular arms wound around my body. I grazed my nose over the rough stubble on his chin before giving him a light kiss. I had never felt comfort and safety like this, nor had I ever been held by anybody—but, I couldn’t understand how I had gone so long without it. Our surroundings melted away until I no longer cared nor remembered that we were in a small lounge at the local gym. The where never mattered, only who.

“It’s no secret Kade and I—slept around.” Alec sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. “Kade was worse than I was, but I’m beginning to think I wasn’t any better. While we never physically hurt them, but we never treated them as anything more than a temporary fix. Most didn’t care and would take whatever they could, but some—some genuinely wanted something more. Neither one of us cared. Before you came along, well we didn’t exactly want a mate at all. I think the thought of being tied down scared Kade more than it did me, but what we did was wrong.”

“Who you were back then, it’s not how I see you now.” I frowned, letting my fingers roam over the coarse plains of his face. “I probably sound like a horrible person for saying this, but everyone makes mistakes. No one is purely good or bad, we’re all a mix of both.”

His skin was velvety smooth, only to turn rough as I met the dark stubble along his cheek and jaw. I could feel him relax under my roaming fingers, and the razor-sharp edge of his emotions began to dull. It was nice to know I had the same effect on them as they had on me. A single touch could evoke a whirlpool of emotions within me, all different depending on the intention.

“You’re the least horrible person I’ve ever met, doll.” He laughed lightly, placing his lips against my forehead. “Believe me, Kade and I have met a lot of awful people, but never anyone like you. You’re so much more than what we deserve. All we can do is try to be worthy of you.”

Hate was the most poisonous emotion of all, and I never once thought about how it might’ve affected me. Since letting go of all those ugly emotions, I had realized something. I no longer hated her, I felt sorry for her. Her and Frank could no longer hurt me, and they never would again.
