Mate ...s ?!?!

[Jace’s POV]

It’s been two days since the whole rejection fiasco and Jax, Orion and myself couldn’t be any closer. Once Hayle had checked us he let both Orion and I out of the infirmary. Once Orion and I were out of the infirmary the three of us couldn’t keep our hands off each other.

Well, it was mostly Jax who had to absolutely be touching either me or Orion. It was like he was making up for lost time with us. I personally enjoyed every time he would come to the room to make love to us both. It was something we had needed. However, everyone around us was getting tired of our excessive PDA. They had made complaints about it to our parents and everything. Saying Jax had practically fucked us both in the halls. Which was only partially true. I was the one that had actually fucked Orion while Jax had finger fucked me, it was a wild ride for sure.

The only downside to this entire thing was the fact that we had somehow pushed away Cassie. Cassie seemed to be taking our bond the hardest. I couldn’t blame her in the least though, she had been Orion’s caretaker long before we had become his daddies and we had all but pushed her out of the way in a matter of hours. She had all but disappeared from Orion’s life and it worried me, that somehow Jax and I were responsible for her staying away from Orion. Orion didn’t understand why she had left him like she had and he was becoming depressed and worried that he had done something wrong. She had been such a huge part in Orion’s life that even I was feeling her absence.

I had to find Cassie to ask her about it she needed to explain to Orion about her disappearance, but at the moment the three of us were lounging in the living room watching a Disney movie for Orion. I really didn’t have the energy to move away from my Mates either. He was stretched out between us, his head laying in my lap with his feet in Jax’s lap. Jax was not going to let either of us too far from him so the fact that he was not fully touching me was a big step for him.

I looked down to see that Orion had fallen asleep and I smiled. His face was so peaceful and he actually had a line of drool coming from his mouth.

‘Take him upstairs and come back here.’ came Jax’s voice as he mind linked me. He was watching Orion sleep, before looking up at me quickly, a smile in his eyes.

I looked at him curiously, but shrugged, before gently scooping Orion into my arms and carrying him upstairs and into our bedroom. I didn’t understand why he had wanted me to come back down instead of all of us going up to bed but I figured that he wanted to talk to me without waking Orion up. Setting Orion in the middle of our large King-sized bed, I kissed his forehead before pulling the blankets over him. I hoped he was able to stay asleep while we were away from him. I went to the bedroom door, stopping to look back at Orion before going back downstairs.

[Jaxson’s POV]

I had felt like shit for the past two days. I had needed to be so close to my Mates that I was feeling like they were getting tired of me again. Clinging to Jace and Orion because I had to be close to them, I had to feel them close to me or I would panic, but more than anything I needed to fix the relationship with my twin. So, while the three of us sat in the living room watching a movie, I was trying to figure out what I could do for just Jace.

I knew we were going to find our Omega eventually and I always thought we would all be stable enough to just have a normal relationship, but this was different. Jace and I have been together all of our lives and I had taken advantage of that. I had always thought he had been right behind me the entire time just following along like my shadow when he had been trying to forge his own path and make his own way.

When Jace came back into the living room I held my arms out to him. He hesitated for a moment before coming closer to me. I pulled him into my lap, burying my face in his neck where I had put my Mark on our 18th birthday. Jace moaned at my touch and I gripped him tighter.

“Jax …” Jace moaned again as I kissed a line along his collarbone. Jace had been my first anything and I had forgotten how much he meant to me until I had almost lost him. I had been so childish and selfish for just leaving the way I had and I was going to do all I could to make it up to them both.

“I love you Jace.” I whispered against his heated flesh. “I promise you that I will do the very best I can to make up for the way I have behaved. Orion completes both of us and without you both I don’t feel whole. But I have to remember that you need me too.” I admitted to him as he wrapped his arms around me.

“I love you too Jax. I always have.” Jace replied softly as he melted in my embrace. His muscular body molding to mine so easily. “Don’t you ever walk away from me or Orion like that again. You are allowed time to yourself but don’t ignore how we feel.” he added as he looked at me. “Don’t shut us out, baby.” Jace leaned down to kiss me passionately. I could feel tears on my face and I knew they were his but I also knew they were tears of happiness. He had me to himself again, if only for the moment. I was going to show him how much he meant to me.

I was about to tell him that I would do my best when a loud crash came from upstairs. Orion’s shrill scream echoed through the house getting both Jace and I to leap to our feet already in motion as we rushed for our little Mate.
