I wasn’t sure why I was surprised. I had already experienced intimate moments with Ethan and Kieran, moments that ignited my senses and quickened my pulse. Kat was right-it was more than pleasant being with them. I knew the next step would come eventually, but I hadn’t dwelled on it. I couldn’t help but wonder how it would work-being with both of them.
“I can practically see the gears turning in your head,” Kat chuckled. “It’s not rocket science, Sophia. There’s never been a she-wolf with two mates before, but I’d say go for both at the same time!”
“At the same time?” I sputtered, feeling my lungs swirl with oxygen.
I trusted Ethan and Kieran completely, knowing they would never pressure me into anything, but the idea of being with both simultaneously was daunting. I understood the mechanics, but I also knew it came with its discomforts.
“You have more than one option,” Kat smirked, causing my cheeks to burn.
“Alright, that’s enough of that,” I interjected, hastily finishing my tea. “Let’s not talk about-uh, my options.”
“Oh, Sophia,” Kat laughed. “You have much to learn.”
“So, you’ve been intimate before?” I asked tentatively, feeling slightly embarrassed and flustered.
“I have. I dated a human guy for a few years, but he moved away,” Kat shrugged casually. “Werewolves can sometimes mate with humans. It’s not common, but it happens. He wasn’t my mate, but that didn’t stop me. Saving yourself for your mates is an outdated notion anyway. Do you see male werewolves saving themselves? No, they don’t. So why should I?”
I let Kat finish her explanation, finding myself strangely agreeing with her. It was another unfamiliar custom, but I admired Kat’s strong-willed personality. I couldn’t help but wonder who her mate was and hoped he had a boatload of patience.
I spent the next few hours with Kat, leaving only when I had to prepare for dinner with Sebastian. It promised to be a stressful afternoon, especially if Sebastian’s wife was present. I had no idea why Williams was there, but I planned to ask Ethan and Kieran soon.
As Kat and I sat on her front porch, waiting for Ethan and Kieran, I reflected on our conversation. I wasn’t sure if I was ready to take the next step with Ethan and Kieran, but I couldn’t stop thinking about the marks that would one day adorn my skin. Would there be two marks? Would they look the same? I couldn’t help but wonder how much it would hurt. Kat’s mom had said it was painful, so I could only imagine what it would feel like to receive two marks. Despite my apprehensions about the pain, if it meant keeping Kat and Kieran by my side, I would endure it for them. Just as I was mustering the courage to bring it up with them, their car pulled into Kat’s driveway. My courage faltered like a damp match as I locked eyes with Kieran.
Their emotions hit me like a wave, making me dizzy as I tore myself from the porch swing. I could sense their longing; every intense emotion radiated from their towering forms. It took all my willpower not to sprint down the steps, settling instead for a brisk jog.
As I wrapped my arms around Kieran’s waist, I felt his surprise and admiration at my touch. After soaking in Kieran’s deep, comforting scent, I turned to Ethan. Their muscular arms encircled me, pulling me close as each planted a kiss on my forehead.
“Did you miss us, sweetheart?” Kieran smirked, running a hand through his tousled hair.
“I did,” I admitted with a smile. “Don’t bother denying it. I can tell you both missed me just as much.”
“It seems we can’t hide anything from you,” Ethan chuckled, his handsome face lit with a mischievous grin.
Ethan drove the short distance to their house, pulling into the driveway. Kat lived just a house away from Ethan and Kieran, making our friendship even more convenient. Walking beside Kieran, I couldn’t resist slipping my hand into his. His large hand engulfed mine, fitting perfectly.
“We have enough time to shower and change,” Kieran said, his gaze softening as he looked down at me. “Though, we could save more time by showering together.”
Ethan mirrored Kieran’s playful expression, their suggestive remarks causing my cheeks to redden. My mind raced back to my earlier conversation with Kat, intensifying my blush.
“It looks like our mate is having some interesting thoughts,” Kieran murmured, brushing his knuckles against my heated skin.
“I doubt that would save time,” I cleared my throat, adding a touch of sweetness to my voice. “You two could shower together; that would save us plenty of time. Plus, I wouldn’t mind the view.”
Ethan and Kieran exchanged a glance before turning back to me. Judging from their gentle emotions, they weren’t opposed to my suggestion. Despite my nervousness about my lack of experience, being with them made me feel safe enough to be myself.
“She’s quite the tease, brother,” Ethan sighed, shaking his head. He met Kieran’s gaze before a sly grin spread across his lips. “I suppose we could give her a little show, just this once.”
“Next time, it’s your turn,” Kieran leaned down, his voice low in my ear. A shiver ran down my spine at the sound of his husky chuckle, my blush deepening.
Moments later, I found myself sitting on a plush stool in their expansive bathroom. The blush on my cheeks felt permanent as I realized Ethan and Kieran were serious about giving me a show. The shower was spacious, with multiple shower heads protruding from the walls and a ceiling that rained water onto the tiled floor. There were no doors, just two marble steps leading into the shower, ensuring the water drained without flooding the bathroom. It was large enough for the three of us, but I couldn’t muster the courage to join them just yet.
“Enjoy the show, doll,” Ethan murmured, his hand brushing gently under my chin. An amused smile played on his lips, enhancing his devilishly handsome look.
Despite my persistent blush, I couldn’t bring myself to look away. Ethan slowly peeled off his long-sleeve shirt, each movement deliberate and confident. I watched in silence, practically mesmerized, as his muscles flexed with every motion.
Kieran followed suit, his physique slightly larger than his brother’s but equally captivating. I couldn’t comprehend how I found myself here, watching both of my mates undress before me. Typically, a girl was fortunate to have one partner who looked like this, yet I had two.
My throat tightened as Kieran’s pants dropped to the floor and landed in the nearby hamper. The warm steam from the shower filled the bathroom, intensifying the heat on my skin. Even if I wanted to, I couldn’t tear my eyes away from the sight of them standing bare before me.
While Ethan and Kieran were identical twins, there were subtle differences between them. Kieran had broader shoulders, a slightly more robust build, whereas Ethan’s abs were more sharply defined with distinct lines and angles. Scars etched their torsos and backs, adding to the allure that surrounded them.
They stood in silence, their eyes dark and dilated with desire as my gaze wandered lower. A sharp inhale escaped me as I glimpsed their arousal, both of them visibly hard and unashamed. Kieran was thicker, Ethan a bit longer. I shifted uncomfortably on the stool, thighs pressed tightly together, forcing myself to look lower still. Their muscular thighs led down to sculpted calves, their bodies a mesmerizing blend of symmetry and strength.
Porcelain skin carved from stone, theirs to taste, to devour and savor.
“Are you sure you don’t want to join us, sweetheart?” Kieran’s voice was low, intense, his eyes seeming to bore into me as if seeing through the fabric clinging to my body.
“We would miss dinner,” I managed to choke out, slowly trailing my gaze back up their bodies. “We would definitely miss dinner.”
Their lust and longing washed over me like a scorching wave. Heat surged through my veins, tingling across my skin. They both desired me, more than words could express. Yet, despite their overwhelming need, they remained rooted in place, as Ethan had promised-they would go at my pace.
My resolve wavered, threatened to crumble beneath their intense gazes. I would give them everything, anything they desired, if they continued to look at me like that-as though there were nothing in this world more potent than me. My breath came in short, uneven pants, and with every ounce of willpower, I forced my eyes to meet theirs again.
“We would miss dinner, but you wouldn’t regret it,” Ethan smirked, though the heat in his eyes belied the playful expression.
“No, I don’t think I would regret it,” I managed, my voice barely above a whisper. “I’ll join you once you two are done.”
Ethan and Kieran nodded in acknowledgment, stepping into the shower without another word but not before casting me another heated glance. As they faced away from me, I watched the water bead and cascade down their backs, tracing the contours of their muscles. I knew they could feel my eyes on them, trailing over their shoulders and lingering on their firm backsides. They even had nice asses, I thought to myself in disbelief. I expected imperfections, flaws-no person, human or werewolf, could be this… perfect.
Even their physical flaws added to their allure, to the irresistible attractiveness that seemed to radiate from every pore, every rippling muscle, and every scattering of hair.
I sighed deeply as they left the bathroom, granting me privacy to shower in peace. They had remained aroused almost the entire time, and at least thirty times I had contemplated skipping dinner altogether, succumbing to the mating urge Kat and I had discussed. But I reminded myself over and over-we needed to attend this dinner. I needed the information, needed to verify Sebastian’s claims.
The water cascaded down, soothing my tense muscles. Their display hadn’t been merely a show; it was torment. I hadn’t anticipated how difficult it would be to resist touching them, to ignore my instincts and urges. As the water enveloped me, my soaked hair clinging to my shoulders and back, I slipped a hand between my legs and released a quiet sigh.
