Chapter Twenty-Nine
I scramble to grab my skirt and hold it up in front of me as a shield. I don’t care who is at that door right now, I am not greeting them in my birthday suit. Especially when it’s not at its best right now!
Linden opens the door and wordlessly invites our guest in. Rowan walks through the door and I silently groan. I should have known!
“What do you want, Row?” I ask quietly. “You’re kind of interrupting something.”
“Oh?” He smirks in an uncanny imitation of his brother. As he takes in my naked state, and hell, probably smells the arousal in the air, his wings erupt from his back. Oh.
“I’m going for a shower,” I squeak and run for the hills, discarding the skirt on the floor and flashing my ass at the twins as I bolt.
After the shower I feel blissfully human again. Well, half human. There’s nothing in the world like brushing your teeth and washing your hair to help make you feel better. There’s no point in slipping into something sexy, I’d just feel silly. And besides, they might have left while I was in the shower. Instead, I pull on my silk robe and head out of the bathroom. I’m just on the top step, when Linden calls out to me from my bedroom. Privacy invasion, much?
Only, thinking this reminds me of...well, things that I don’t want to think about tonight. I push those thoughts deep deep down and bury them. Plastering a smile on my face, I head to the bedroom.
Linden has made himself at home, stretched out on my bed of course, whereas Rowan is sitting at my vanity desk.
“Guys, what’s going on?” I ask. The sight of Linden still naked is very distracting. Rowan doesn’t seem to give a damn so I’m guessing he’s seen it all before. Oh yeah, they like to share everything. I’m reminded of that awful blonde bimbo from the restaurant and my heart sinks. What am I doing? This is crazy. I shouldn’t have both guys in my bedroom. This conversation would be much safer downstairs.
Only, I wasn’t safer downstairs, the last time we were all alone together, was I?
“We need to talk,” Rowan says.
“Well, I’m guessing you didn’t turn up at silly o'clock in the morning to pray with me,” I snark.
“I’m here to play with you,” Linden calls.
“I said pray, you idiot.”
“Jas, we’re not bonded,” Rowan points out. Jeez, did he just come here to play state the obvious? I want to play hide the sausage.
“I know that.”
“So you don’t have to do this.”
“Do what?” I frown, confused.
“Sleep with Linden.”
“But I want to,” I say softly. It kinda kills me to admit it, but I do want to sleep with Linden. Linden flashes a smug look Rowan’s way.
“You won’t bond with him either,” Row points out.
“That’s okay.”
“Do you want to bond with us?”
That’s the million dollar question isn’t it? I don’t even like Linden. Okay, that’s a lie, he’s grown on me a lot. And Rowan...well, why else would I have become crazy protective of him—on both of them—if I didn’t want this bond they keep promising me? I choose to remain silent on that one.
“Because there’s a way to seal the bond.”
That catches my attention.
“How?” I gasp.
“You have to sleep with both of us—”
“Duh, I was trying!”
