Chapter Chapter Thirteen
The next morning
[Orion’s POV]
When I woke the next morning, I was very confused. I was not in my basement room and I still hadn’t heard my alarm go off in my ear. I was starting to get used to not hearing it and I didn’t think that was a good thing at all. I needed to stay in my routine or I would get into trouble if anything ever happened. I would never get back up from that beating.
‘Stop it Orion.’ Rain said to me, his voice very serious as he instantly came into the forefront of my mind. He had sensed my insecurities and was there for me. ‘Jax and Jace love you. Lysander and Guren are wonderful. I love them so much. Please don’t make us leave them.’ He pleaded with me.
‘Will they always love us Rain?’ I asked him curiously, thinking of my little side that came out when I had strong feelings of happiness, of sadness and fear. Last night when I felt myself slipping and Rain put me to sleep, I felt helpless. I didn’t want them to see that part of me. The part even I was afraid of.
Rain huffed in my head, almost like he was rolling his eyes at me. ‘They have already done so much for us Orion. They protected us from Cilla. I was so scared but they never let her get close to us.’ Rain said letting me see what actually happen while I was asleep.
They had kept us safe. They had revealed Cilla for the Rouge she was and I couldn’t feel more relieved than I was right then. I was so fucking happy. I was free of her finally, I opened my eyes and sat up quickly. I knew I was in their room and in their bed, it smell of them. Chocolate and the forest. I loved that smell and rolled around in the bed, before realizing I was alone. The bed was still relatively warm so they must not have been gone too long, but I thought they would be here when I woke up.
I whimpered and sat up fully to look around for my Mates. I blushed at my thoughts. They were still very new to me but I was quickly getting used to having them there in my thoughts and the need to see Jax and Jace all the time. It was something deep in my very soul to need them right next to me.
My Mates. I never thought I would have one Mate let alone two. Add to it all the fact that, I felt so alone without them right there with me, and just when I let out another soft whimper the bedroom door burst open and the Twins came rushing into the room, worried looks on their faces. I reached out for them instantly and they rushed to me, pulling me against them. Well, more like sandwiching me between them, but I enjoyed the feeling of their electrifying touches. They had practically pulled me off of the bed to squish me between them but I was far from complaining at the moment. It felt so good to have them with me. I was more than happy they hadn’t left me alone, not really.
“Good morning, baby boy.” Jax said as he nuzzled his nose against my collarbone, sending sparks of electricity through my body. Ones that almost had me purring like a house cat. Their touch was different today and I like it, very much.
“Mmm m-morning” I whispered back as I leaned into him more, his deep woodsy scent starting to drive me crazy. I could feel Jace pulling me close from behind and it made me almost purr in pleasure to feel him against me. Their scents were doing something to my body and it was confusing the hell out of me. I had never felt like this before, at least not that I could remember. Their touch set my body on fire but in a good way. Their scent was more potent to me than before and I wanted to drown in them. Everything about them just felt like it was intensified for me this morning and I had no idea why.
“Are you all right angel?” Jace asked as he kissed my cheek, hugging me tightly.
I nodded as I tugged his hair a little, with a smile. “The two of you smell extra good today to me for some reason.” I admitted, getting curious looks from them both as I nuzzled my nose into Jace’s neck. His chocolate scent filling my entire body instantly, sending small shivers through me.
It was heavenly and I just wanted to lose myself in his scent, as long as Jax was there as well. Jace’s scent was alluring but it wasn’t complete to me unless Jax was there with us. It made the scent irresistible for me when my Mates were together like they were now. The three of us together made a perfect pairing and nothing could mess it up. The chocolate would become overwhelming without Jax’s musky forest pine smell to cut through the sweetness that was Jace’s scent.
“Angel, if you keep doing that, you are going to find yourself very sore.” Jace said a low husky growl in his voice as he buried his fingers in my hair, pulling me against him roughly. I let out a low moan, a sound I didn’t even know I could make. It sounded so dirty and filled with lust, I almost didn’t recognize my own voice.
“Maybe I want that, from you both.” I said, a serious tone coming to my voice getting Jace to fully stop what he was doing to pull away from me and look at me. Jax’s face appearing in my line of vision, both wearing a look of shocked suspicion. They had not released me from their grasp, both of them still had a hand on me. However, they were both looking at me, trying to see if I was joking. I wasn’t. I needed them and I knew what that meant for the three of us.
“Baby boy, if we do something like that the two of us will Mark you as our Mate and you will not be able to leave us. While we want you to never escape us, we want you to choose this on your own. The two of us do not want you to feel forced into this.” Jax said seriously, as he reached out to move a strand of hair out my face. They were both always so thoughtful and we have only been together for a short time. This was something I wanted though. Something that was more than just a want or need. It was my soul calling out to them for this.
I squirmed under them for a few moments, my face blank as I thought about Jax’s words. The thought of them Marking me was always there. They were my Mates after all. I knew what that would mean, we would Mate. Have sex. Be more than just cuddle buddies. Lol. I wanted something more from them and I wanted it to be a lasting thing. I never wanted them to leave me and if it meant they had to Mark me for me to keep them, then I would willingly let them do just that. I never wanted them to think I didn’t want them. At the moment my body was practically burning for them and only their touch was keeping me sane.
I could feel Rain wag his tail happily as he could feel the acceptance of our Mates from me. Even if it was a little hesitant. I was still scared of being abandoned by them. I have been left or beaten by everyone I thought was supposed to care for me. All but Cassie and I had that setting fear that even my Mates would leave me. I was willing to give them a chance though. I wanted the happily ever after ending. I wanted to be happy more than anything and this was my only chance I felt to actually grab it for myself. So, I was going to put my fears behind me and step forward into my future.
I looked up to Jace and Jax, a look of need and full trust in my eyes as I stared at my Mates. I reached up to place my hands on their faces gently. “Mine,” I whispered softly, getting them to smile and lean into my touch happily. I knew they could sense my need for them because I could feel theirs.
“Forever,” they both practically purred happily, their voices deep as they nuzzled my hands, running their noses along the inside of my palms. Their big hands wrapping around me, drawing me closer to their heat.
I had already made my mind up before I had met them, but I had fallen so hard for these two that I couldn’t bring myself to reject them. I couldn’t hurt them, I wanted to make them happy more than anything else and all I wanted was for them to share my life with me. To be with me in every way possible.
I wanted them to Mate and Mark me. I wanted them, to be all mine forever and I needed them to fill me with that feeling. That feeling that I had been missing my entire life.
I could hear their sudden low growls and my eyes flashed open; I was faced with two sets of hungry eyes. They were looking at me like I was a nice juicy steak and they were starving for me.
That was hot as fuck.
