A rush of jealousy fills me and it takes me a moment to realize it’s not my own but coming from the twins.
“I don’t care if they had faces or not,” Ezra grunts, and I turn to look at him. “You’re ours.” He squeezes my ass and I think about bending over and asking him to spank me.
“Make it stop.” Erik's hand goes to the front of his jeans and I watch as he pushes his palm down on his very evident hard-on.
“Try having her in your lap while she’s doing it.” Ezra lets out a small moan.
“I’m sorry,” I say, but am I really? I’m just as turned on as they are. “It’s hard to stop thinking about something when someone tells you not to.”
“Oh, it’s hard alright,” Erik mutters as he opens his car door and I realize that we’re here. My door opens and he helps me out as Ezra comes right up behind me. They both give me barely any space to move and I love it.
“Nothing can happen, right? He can’t take me from you, can he?” The words pour from me in a sudden panic now that we’re here. The thought of not being with them is soul crushing. It takes my breath away for a moment. The lust that was thick around us fades and the anger from before comes back. Feeling their emotions as my own is going to take some getting used to.
They both look down at me as if I’ve lost my mind. “That is the second time in an hour you’ve questioned the bond of mating. I know this is new to you, sweets, but a mate would burn down the world in a rage to get their mate back. I promise you there will never be anyone taking you away from us,” Erik vows.
“I’m sorry,” I say as I look up at him. The apology is for Ezra, too, but he’s behind me stroking my back and soothing me. I do the same as I did for Ezra and reach out, placing my hands on Erik’s chest. “You’re right, it’s new, but it’s more than anything I could have imagined love could be. The thought of losing this…” I shake my head. “It’s part of the reason why I left that morning to go to the car. I was going to get the book Gordon gave me. I wanted to know more about your kind and I thought you could wipe my memory or something.” He doesn’t tell me that isn't something he can do, and I don’t push. There’s time later for all those questions. “I didn't want to ever forget that night with you two. I couldn’t stand the thought of never having you again after those twenty-four hours, and it would have been the end of me,” I admit. Maybe it makes me pathetic, but I don’t think I could go on without them.
“We can’t forget a mate, bonded yet or not. We couldn’t take it from your mind once you found us. We couldn’t take it from our minds as vampires or even yours as a human,” he responds, brushing his hand against my cheek and I lean into him.
“We would have never done that and we never had plans to let you go,” Ezra adds before they both guide me inside.
Eleven
Dove
We walk into the house that looks dark and imposing from the outside, but inside it’s light and beautiful. I don’t know why I always expect everything about vampires to be black and filled with cobwebs, but I guess old books and movies have given me these ideas.
Ezra takes my hand as we go into a living room with big cozy couches facing a fireplace that’s already going. It’s so cozy and relaxed that I forget for a moment that we’re here to talk to Bishop. He’s someone I’m not sure I trust, but I do trust the twins, and they tell me that everything is going to be okay.
We sit down on the couch facing the fire and a second later Bishop walks in. He’s wearing a full suit like every other time I’ve seen him, and I guess he just likes to look nice. The three of us are casual, and I like that the twins are relaxed.
“Thank you for coming over,” he says before he pins his eyes on me. “I know that you’re apprehensive about me and maybe my intentions, but I want to talk to you tonight about something you were given.”
It’s then I notice he brought something with him as he lays the book down on the coffee table in front of me. The twins tense on either side of me as I reach down to pick it up, but Ezra stops me.
“Don’t look at it, Dove. There’s nothing in there you need to see,” he says.
