The inside of the cabin matched the outside. It looked as though it had been plucked from one of those home improvement TV shows Tori loved to watch. Judging from the kitchen with its stacked oven’s, touch-screen refrigerator, and mini bar area, it was most certainly a luxury cabin.
The interior held earthy tones, mostly browns and a few different shades of red. The sectional in the center of the cabin was big enough for an entire family, and the flat-screen mountain to the far wall was the biggest I had ever seen. Plush pillows sat on the sectional, and I resisted the urge to throw myself onto them, happy to sink into the soft material. I ogled at the brick fireplace and the hand carved mantle that sat above it, grinning when I spotted a few framed pictures of the twin’s and their parents.
They looked like the picture-perfect family, and for once, there was no twinge of pain in my chest. I was happy the twins had this incredible life, that they were surrou
As I stood in the mirror analyzing the skimpy bikini the twins had packed for me, I decided that I in fact liked the bathing suit. It matched the color of my left eye perfectly, even if it was a bit too small.I had never been slim in physique, and working out with Tori had only added to that fact. My waist was somewhat narrow, and my stomach had flattened more since training, but my hips flared out and my bust was larger than the average woman. The little triangles of the top managed to contain my breasts, just barely, though. The bottoms on the other hand—they were something else. Little bows sat on either side of my hips, and the bottoms covered perhaps a quarter of my full rear.Tori came up behind me and cocked her head to the side, her curly ponytail of fiery locks bounced from the movement. She pursed her lips and wrinkled her nose, those cinnamon freckles scrunching.“Why can’t I fill out like that?” She scoffed, and I tried to co
“Seems like we came back just in time for the fun.”It was Kade who spoke, his voice thick with both amusement and arousal. Alec stood there with a glazed look to his eyes, completely forgetting Tori was also in attendance.“Men.” Tori cooed, laughing quietly when neither of the twin’s seemed to register her teasing remark.She quickly dove under water and brushed the sopping wet locks from her forehead. Both Alec and Kade seemed to need a few minutes to regain themselves, the evidence of their interest was hidden within the strained fabric of their swimming trunks. So much for that cold shower, I laughed silently.The twin’s made me feel mature and sexy, like I wasn’t the inexperienced girl I often felt like. They loved me as I was, and that alone would bring an incredible amount of confidence to any clear-minded woman.I drifted through the pool, my eyes locked on theirs, as I reached for my abandoned bik
“I don’t think she heard a word you said, brother.” Alec chuckled; his dark eyes framed by onyx lashes.Kade halted his assault on my neck, and even chuckled at the frustrated groan that left my lips. If only we never had to leave this place. I’d dedicate my days learning everything I could about Alec and Kade; the things they love and fear, their mannerisms and private thoughts. Our nights would be spent by learning each other physically. Life, however, never stopped moving for anyone.“Mm, I don’t like the sound of that.” I muttered, my toes grazing the smooth surface of the pool as I floated, trying to keep my head above the water. I wrapped my arms around Alec’s neck, and felt Kade move up behind me. “I think we should just go back to what we were doing. Now that, I’m sure would end amazingly.”“Not to worry, we’ll get back to that after our conversation.” Alec smirked down a
A switch had flipped in Kade as I uttered those words, and his emotions barreled into me at full force. It was Alec’s hands that kept me centered, and Kade’s touch that calmed my mind. The bond wasn’t complete yet, not without them marking me in return. Even with the half-way connection between us, I was feeling their lust and desire as though they were amplifications of my own.I was practically humming with energy, with the link that connected the three of us. I could feel it all around me, buzzing like a million electrified bees. With Alec sheathed inside of me, and Kade palming my breasts, I couldn’t think of anything more fulfilling than this. The threat of what would come had vanished from my mind, unable to live another second when the twins were showering me with their attention.“This is—overwhelming.” I gasped as Kade pinched my nipple and slid the throbbing length of him against my core. He brushed it against my swol
Feeling Kade’s arctic rage and seeing his muscles bunch and tense, I leapt into action. Alec was much better at concealing his murderous appetite, fixing a disinterested look on his face. I pushed myself between the twins, stepping towards the open front door. Zayne’s eyes tracked my movements like he expected me to bolt. I suppressed the look of irritation that threatened to form on my face and gave him a disinterested look of my own. Men like Zayne, they clearly had an inflated sense of self-worth, much like Garrett. “Come in, but make it quick.” I replied haughtily, my arms crossed over my chest. I’m sure I wasn’t the most intimidating she-wolf, standing at least a foot and a half beneath Zayne. On the bright side, what I lacked in appearance, I made up for in power. Zayne’s face was hard, schooled in what I was sure was his threatening look. His emotions told the truth, and he couldn’t even begin to hide them from me. He wasn’t afraid; no, he was
I completely forbade myself from thinking about Zayne Novak until tomorrow, just as we planned to leave for the High Table meeting. I’d spend the rest of today and tonight with my twins, refusing to give Zayne another second of my time.Garrett and Julian were now set on the task of contacting their sources regarding what a ‘Soul Eater’ might be, and how it connects to my abilities. We could only hope the information about what I was did not spread, as their sources might not be willing to give information if they believed a neighboring pack had a weapon primed and ready.“I don’t know about you two, but I’m not letting this ruin my day.” Alec smirked as we trekked through the woods.From what I could tell, we were in the middle of absolute nowhere. We left out the back door and walked through the thickest part of the forest, leaving behind the sparkling lake and its tantalizing waters.The hike wasn’t that
Our relaxing weekend came to an abrupt halt just a few hours later. We were up at the crack of dawn, preparing for the trip. The twins had planned ahead, and already had a suitcase packed for each of us. Alec had this uncanny ability to pop right out of bed and head for the shower. Kade trudged down to the kitchen on my heels, following the scent of caffeine. Two cups later, I no longer felt so cold and bleary. I left Kade in the kitchen to finish his own, and joined Alec in the shower. “You nervous, doll?” Alec asked me, kneading the shampoo into my scalp while I leaned helplessly against him. “Mm, just a bit.” I replied, sighing when he stopped to let me rinse. My throat clenched momentarily, the words heavy. “I don’t want anyone dying for me.” Alec knew what I was talking about. They had also thought of the worst possible outcomes and what they might mean for us. War was a very strong possibility. “I think it’s more than that now. It’s not only
Tori sounded frantic, and if her rapid knocks were any indicator—something had happened. The twin’s and I were out of bed in an instant, shoving on any article of clothing we could. Perhaps there was a downside to sleeping naked.I wrenched the door open once the twins had at least put shorts on. Tori stormed in, her fiery locks an absolute mess and her eyes wild. I was still in the process of putting on my own shirt, forgoing a bra completely.“What?” I stammered, grabbing onto Tori with gentle hands. I searched her eyes for answers but found only fear and questions. “What happened?”Tori shook of the fear that warped her insides, much like I thought she would. She squared her shoulders, and let out a shaky breath before composing herself.“I planned to go down a floor for some ice, figured it wouldn’t hurt because all of the guards posted and what not.” Tori let the words out in a rush, and gave Kade
