Three Fated Hearts by LNC

After untangling myself from my s*x mates, I got a text from Lynn. She said that I should talk to Mark. It seemed to be important. I would have found him sooner, but I had a time getting out of the room. My mates decided that we needed to have another round in the shower, then another one when I tried to get dressed. I felt satiated but also drained. I guess this is what life will be like with twin mates.

Mark is acting funny, and I’m not sure what to make of it. I slowly walk into his house, looking around the room. I wonder if something is going to pop out at me with the way Mark is acting. Nothing popped out at me, and I was relieved for a bit.

I walk into the living room and sit on the couch. Mark sits on the other end of the couch and keeps fidgeting. He is looking all over the room and not speaking. “Mark, is everything alright? You really have me worried right now.” I look closely at Mark and can see the sweat on his brow. Something is going on with him, but I can’t help until he talks to me.

I scoot closer to Mark and reach out to touch his arm. Mark flinches at my touch and jumps off the couch. Mark starts to pace back and forth, and all I can do is watch him unravel. I lose track of time, watching Mark go through the distress he is experiencing. “I…..I…..” Mark struggles to speak, and my heart breaks for him. I’m not sure how much longer I can watch him go through this.

chuckle slips out of his mouth, and he quickly covers it. I watch his shoulders start to move up and down, and he laughs. Mark throws his head back and laughs boisterously. I have to say I feel a bit offended. How is it that Mark is now laughing at me? Mark doubles over, hands holding his stomach, laughing
