I wasnât sure why I was surprised. I had done things with Liam and Ethan before, things that set my skin on fire and sent my b***d rushing through my veins.
Aly was right; being with Liam and Ethan was more than pleasurable. I knew the next step would come eventually, but I never allowed myself to think too much about it. I couldnât help but wonder how that would work, how I would be with both of them.
âI can practically see the gears turning in your head,â Aly laughed. âItâs not rocket science, Sussan. Thereâs never been a she-wolf with two mates before, but Iâd say go for it with both of them!â
âAt the same time?â I exclaimed, choking on the oxygen that rippled and swirled in my lungs.
I trusted Liam and Ethan, and I knew they would never push me into anything, but I couldnât imagine having them both at the same time. I knew how it worked, but I also knew that things like that came with a fair amount of awkwardness.
âYou have more than one hole,â Aly smiled, and I felt my skin unbearably heat up.
âOkay, thatâs enough of that,â I shook my head, finishing the rest of my tea. âLetâs not talk about⦠my holes.â
âOh, Sussan,â Aly laughed. âYou have so much to learn.â
âSo, have you had s*x before?â I asked cautiously, feeling nervous and embarrassed.
âOf course. I dated a human man for a few years, but he moved away,â Aly shrugged as if it was nothing new. âWerewolves can mate with humans sometimes. Not very often, but it happens. He wasnât my mate, but that didnât stop me from sleeping with him. Saving yourself for your mates is an outdated notion anyway. Do you see weremen saving themselves? No, you donât! So why should I?â
I let Aly finish her mini tirade, but I found myself agreeing with her. It was another tacit custom I wasnât familiar with, but I found myself enjoying Alyâs strong-willed personality. I couldnât help but wonder who her mate was, and I hoped he had a lot of patience.
I spent the next few hours with Aly and only left when I had no other choice. Our dinner with Axel was in a few hours, and I needed time to shower and change before making my appearance. I knew it would be a stressful evening, especially if Axelâs wife was around. I had no idea what Thomasâs purpose was for being there, but I thought of asking Liam and Ethan soon enough.
As Aly and I sat on her front porch waiting for Liam and Ethan, I found myself thinking about what we had talked about. I wasnât sure if I was ready to sleep with Liam and Ethan, but I kept thinking about the mark that would someday settle on my skin. Would it be two marks? Would they be the same? I couldnât help but wonder how much it would hurt.
Alyâs mom said it hurt a lot, so I could only imagine what it would feel like to receive two marks. I wasnât sure if I was looking forward to the pain, but if it meant keeping Liam and Ethan by my side, Iâd endure it for them. I had just gathered the courage to ask them about it when their car stopped in the driveway. My courage flickered out like a damp match, fizzling as I locked eyes with Ethan.
His emotions hit me like a ram, making me dizzy as I tore myself from the swing on Alyâs porch. I realized they had both missed me; I could feel it in every blazing emotion emanating from their towering forms. I needed all the willpower I could muster not to rush into their arms. Instead of bounding down the steps, I settled for a brisk trot.
When my arms wrapped around Ethanâs waist, I could feel his surprise and amazement at my touch. Once I basked in Ethanâs thick and delightful scent, I moved on to Liam. His muscular arms wrapped around my torso, holding me against them as each planted a k**s on the top of my head.
âDid you miss us, honey?â Ethan smiled, running a hand through his already messy hair.
I did,â I admitted with a smile. âAnd donât bother lying. I can feel that both of you missed me a lot.â
âLooks like we canât hide anything from you,â Liam chuckled, a sly smile on his handsome face.â
Liam got back into the car, drove the extremely short distance to his house, and stopped in the driveway. Aly lived just one house away from Liam and Ethan, making our friendship even more convenient. I walked alongside Ethan, unable to resist slipping my hand into his. His large hand enveloped mine, and somehow, they fit perfectly together.
âWe have just enough time to shower and change,â Ethan looked at me, his eyes softening as they met mine.
âHowever, we could save more time if we showered together,â Liam grinned, jumping out of the car.
Ethanâs face mirrored Liamâs, their mischievous expressions causing my cheeks to blush. My mind instantly went back to my conversation with Aly, only intensifying my blush.
âIt seems our mate is having some interesting thoughts,â Ethan murmured, brushing a knuckle across my warm skin.
âSomehow, I donât think that will save time,â I cleared my throat. I added extra sweetness to my voice as I teased them both. âYou two could shower together, that would save us a lot of time. Plus, I wouldnât mind the show.â
Liam and Ethan exchanged blank looks before turning to me. Judging by their gentle emotions, they werenât entirely against my suggestion. In fact, the idea of me watching them shower seemed enticing. My inexperience with all things s****l made me a bit shy, but the twins brought out a new side of me. Despite the nervousness I felt around them, I also felt comfortable enough to be myself.
âSheâs so cruel, brother,â Liam sighed, shaking his head. He met his brothersâ eyes, and a mischievous smile formed on his plump lips. âI guess we could give her a free show, just this once.â
âNext time, itâll be your turn,â Ethan leaned in, whispering into my ear with his rough voice. I couldnât contain the shiver that ran down my spine or the blush that reappeared at the sound of Ethanâs sensual laughter.
Thatâs how I found myself alone a few minutes later. I sat on one of those luxurious stools in their large bathroom, and I was sure my blush had permanently embedded itself on my face. I hadnât thought they were serious about giving me a show, but it seemed like both were determined to prove me wrong.
The bathroomâs shower was huge, with multiple showerheads protruding from the walls. The ceiling itself was a large showerhead, raining water onto the tiled floor. I couldnât help but notice that the shower had no doors. There were two marble steps leading into the shower, where the water could drain easily without flooding the bathroom. The shower was easily big enough for all three of us, but I couldnât gather the courage to join them.
âEnjoy the show, honey,â Liam murmured, his hand brushing underneath my chin.
A playful smile appeared on his lips, making him look even more tantalizingly handsome.
Although my face maintained its blush, I couldnât force myself to turn around. Liam took off his long-sleeved shirt from his torso, his movements slow and confident.
I silently watched, practically drooling, as his muscles tensed with each movement. Ethan followed suit, his physique slightly larger than his brothersâ, but equally drool-worthy.
I couldnât begin to comprehend how I ended up here, watching my two mates undress in front of my own eyes. Normally, a girl is lucky to have one man in her romantic life who looks like that, but I had two.
I swallowed hard as Ethanâs pants dropped to the floor, tossed into the basket on the other side of the bathroom. Warm steam filled the shower bathroom, further heating up my body. Even if I wanted to, I couldnât tear my eyes away while both of them stood naked in front of me.
While Liam and Ethan were identical twins, there were some parts of them that were different from each other. Ethanâs build was slightly bigger than his brotherâs, his shoulders a bit broader. Liamâs abs were more defined than his brotherâs, his muscles ending in sharp lines and angles.
Some scars were etched into their torsos and backs, but they only added to the charm that clung to them both.
Both remained silent, their dark eyes filled with l**t as my gaze traveled further down. I took a rough breath when I saw the length between their legs. Both were hard, steel between their legs proudly displayed. Ethan was thicker than his brother, but Liamâs was only an inch or two longer. I shifted on the stool; my thighs clenched tightly as I forced my eyes to travel even further down. Large, muscular thighs that led down to chiseled calf muscles. They were both works of art, identical yet different in every way. Porcelain skin chiseled into stone, mine to savor, to devour, to taste.
âAre you sure you donât want to join us, honey?â Ethan murmured, his eyes practically burning into my skin as if he could see past the layer of clothing clinging to my body.
âWeâd miss the dinner,â I managed to choke out, my gaze lingering on their bodies. âWeâd definitely miss the dinner.â
Their l**t and desire flooded me like a scalding wave. Heat surged through my veins, sizzling as it hit my skin. Both wanted me, wanted me more than I could express in words. Even with the overwhelming need they felt, both remained rooted in their place. Theyâd go at my pace; Liam had told me that once.
My willpower would crumble, break, and burn until there was nothing left.
Iâd give them everything, anything they wanted if they kept looking at me like that, as if there was nothing in this world more potent than me. My breaths came out in short gasps, and with all the willpower in my body, I forced my eyes back to their faces.
âWeâd miss the dinner, but you wouldnât regret it,â Liam smiled, but the expression didnât reach his consuming gaze.
âNo, I donât think I would regret it,â I managed to respond. âIâll come in once you two are done.â
Liam and Ethan paid attention to my words, and both entered the shower after giving me another heated look. While they had their backs turned to me, I watched as the water pooled and ran down the muscles that stretched across their backs. The water twisted and swirled, trapped by the grooves of their muscles. I knew they could feel my eyes on them, trailing down their shoulders and lingering on their firm backsides. They even had good butts, I thought to myself. I hoped for some flaw, some imperfection. No person, human or werewolf, could be so⦠so perfect.
Even their physical flaws added to the charm, to the intense allure that radiated from every pore, every rippling muscle, and splashes of hair.
I let out a long sigh when both finished and exited the bathroom, giving me privacy as I showered. They remained hard almost the entire shower. At least thirty times, I had contemplated skipping the dinner altogether, marking and mating as Aly and I discussed. I reminded myself over and over that we needed to be at this dinner. I needed the information, needed to see if Axel was telling the truth.
The water fell over me, relieving my tense muscles. It wasnât a show they had given me; it was absolute torture. I didnât think it would be.
