“Uhm… Yeah… I’m sorry to have done that without your consent..” I mumble back scooting away slightly, as I feel awkward now. His arm sneaks around my waist and he pulls me back instantly, before I hear him breathing out “don’t be. Not only did you save my life, you made me the happiest man alive. I hope you didn’t do it because you felt obligated..” he trails off, his smile wavering. “Of course not!” I rush out, before continuing “you should know I don’t do anything I don’t want to do, ever. Just.. Don’t f*ck it up this time” I mumble the last part softly, but I know he heard me as the guilty feeling has returned instantly. “I won’t, Lola. I love you”. My breath hitches at his words. Even though we are bound together now, I am not ready to say the words myself just yet. I smile back at him, before he pulls my chin up and plants a soft kiss on my lips. “I love you so much Lola. I don’t expect you to say it back, but I want you to know I do. I will make sure you don’t regret this” he mumbles against my lips softly. I wrap my arms around his neck and press my lips against his a little tighter, before pulling back to smile at him. “I’m.. Ehhh.. I don’t know where to go from here, though. I am not experienced in relationships”. “Neither are we, princess. We will go at your pace, whatever you want to do. And with whom” Zane whispers the last part with a tinge of sadness, and it suddenly dawns on me that he must be feeling a whole array of emotions right now. Although he is relieved his brother survived, he must be feeling a little left out that his brother got marked and he didn’t.
Lola POV
Didn’t get marked – yet. And considering the fact that Zane and I were on good terms, it’s not fair either. I grab his hand and squeeze it gently, before saying “I will mark you too, Zane. I just want it to be more special, and I would prefer it if you were conscious. It’s not like I can get away from you guys anymore”, I add the last part playfully, but I can see the insecurity in Zane’s eyes. Not to mention I can feel the insecurity coming from Zeke too.
“But, the same goes for you too Zane.. Don’t make me regret this. And for the love of the goddess, if either of you ever take another woman’s side over mine again I swear I will…” “we won’t!” Zeke interrupts before I could finish my death threat. “Just.. Bare with us, ok? We are all new to this, we will make mistakes, just like any other couple” Zane adds. Sighing, I reply “I’ll try. But I’ve had enough hardships for 5 lifetimes by now, it’s time for happiness for me. And if there’s 1 thing I’ll even break our bond over, so get this through to your head, it would be other women. I need my mate or mates to be 10000% in this with me. I have a 0% tolerance policy since our little date, and I will not allow you to choose another woman’s words or company over mine if we do this. I should be all you need”. I know the bond isn’t able to be broken after you have marked someone, but I would rather die than be with someone who chooses another woman’s words over mine. I’m resourceful, I would find a way out if needed be. “I swear to you I won’t make that same mistake again, you’re all I need” Zeke replies, before Zane speaks up. “Same for me. I will make mistakes and f*ck up, but never again will it be that you have to feel I didn’t take your side against another woman. In fact, I will make it crystal clear to all women in our kingdom that my heart belongs to you, and that they better not disrespect our Queen”. ‘I think mates are sincere. Their Lycans also said they would scare off anyone who tried’ Liberty comments, and I let out the breath I was holding.
Somehow, it feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I smile at them both, understanding their need for reassurance.
‘So since that is out of the way, should you maybe uhm, clarify with them how the logistics work with 2 mates? Like, do they take turns? Or are we getting ourselves a Zeke and Zane sandwich?’ Justice pipes up, and I almost choke on the air I’m breathing. I feel my cheeks burning, and I don’t have to check the mirror to know I am as red as a tomato. I mean… I can’t deny and say it has never crossed my mind what it would be like. One of them would be enough to have women wetting their panties, let alone both of them. I am not experienced at all, so the thought of being with my godlike mates at the same time is as exhilarating as it is scary. What if they’re disappointed with my inexperienced *ss? Will they leave me for someone more experienced? ‘Stop it Lola! You know they wouldn’t. They went abstinent for over 2 years now. I’m sure whatever you do will have them exploding like teenagers’ Liberty scolds me for my train of thoughts, and I can practically feel the eye roll she is giving me. ‘I’m just…. Insecure I guess, Lib..’ I only just manage to choke out. I hate feeling insecure, it feels vulnerable and I don’t like that. She sighs deeply, before replying ‘I know Lola. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to be harsh with you. I just want you to let go of any inhibitions you may have. We have suffered and restrained ourselves long enough. It’s time to enjoy ourselves, and ride them like a cowgirl’. I feel my cheeks heat up again at the thought of doing just that. I am brought back from my reverie when I hear both of them sniffing the air profusely, before growling lowly. Their darkened eyes leave no room for interpretation as to why they are reacting like this – they smell my arousal and it is hard for them to control themselves now. I am not one to blush very often or very quickly, but I blush even more profusely now, knowing they’ve caught me being aroused. I am horrified and yet even more turned on all at the same time.
As I rake my eyes over their godlike bodies, my p*ssy clenches when my gaze pauses on the bulges they are sporting in their hospital gown and pants. I shake my head in an attempt to clear myself from my lustful haze, as I would indeed like to know how this thing would work. I clear my throat, before speaking up “but erhm… How does it work.. Having 2 mates? Do I split my time between the 2 of you? And if so, where do I sleep? And uhm… Like how does it work with intimate moments?”. I am tripping over my own words in shame. Never in my life have I had to talk about such a thing out loud. And being the prude I am, I am really uncomfortable in doing so. I have never really discussed intimacy with anyone to begin with. I was too young for that when my mom passed and, well, you know how the rest of the story goes. They both start chuckling, before Zeke replies “we know it’s all new to you, Lola. We have been identical twins all our lives, and we have always known we would share a mate, so we have had a lot of time to talk about it together. We will leave everything up to you and what you want of course, but we have always envisioned sharing everything together.. At the same time”. I swallow thickly, and I have to avert my eyes. They both start chuckling even louder at my predicament and I return my gaze to give them a playful glare. “You don’t have to be embarrassed Lola. We are both yours” Zane adds earnestly, before coming over to grab my hand and placing a soft kiss on it.
“I know I don’t have to be..” I grumble almost inaudibly. “I’m just… Not that experienced…”. “Baby, look at me” Zane pleads, while cupping my face with both his hands, staring deep into my eyes. “Anything we would do with you would be amazing, because it would be with you. Our mate, the love of our lives. And if it makes you feel any better, we don’t have experience with a threesome either”. I frown at that, what does he mean they don’t have experience with a threesome? Answering my unasked question, Zeke adds “we never shared anything together yet. We were saving that for our mate”. I’m not sure if I should feel relieved at that or not, but somehow I do. I already feel the possessiveness that comes with the mate bond intensifying when I think about their past endeavors, but I push the thought aside quickly. I breathe out a sigh of relief and offer a smile. Before any of us can say anything more, the door to our room opens, and the King and Queen come walking in. I don’t think they were aware of the fact that Zeke is awake yet, considering their docile demeanor and grim expressions upon entering. But as soon as her gaze lands on the 3 of us, the Queen drops everything she was carrying and gasps audibly. “You look like you have seen a ghost. Did you miss me?” Zeke smiles mischievously at them. Without uttering a word, the Queen rushes over to Zeke’s side and envelops him in a tight hug. While she is sobbing onto his shoulder wordlessly, the King moves over to his side as well. I notice the King has tears forming in his eyes as well, and the sight of it is heartwarming. “How…?” the Queen finally manages to speak, as she breaks away from Zeke’s shoulder.
