Page 10 of Taken By the Twins

Within seconds, I’m at the window, and the only thought running through my head when I see the inky black shadows surrounding a field of red, black, and grey ash: Oh, Tandy. I don’t think you’re in Kansas anymore—er, Manhattan.

Shit. For that matter, thanks to the strange black moon with the sliver a gold one along the side of it, I don’t think I’m even onEarth.

Is that what happened? I… what? Accidentally summoned a pair of demon twins whokidnappedme to their realm?

I don’t know. I can’t talk to them, either, since they clearly don’t speak English. My phone is back at Sierra’s place, tucked in the clutch I never had the chance to grab. I have nothing but my panties, my dress, and my heels, though even if I did snatch my phone up, what good would it do? It’s not like I’ll get service in a different plane, and as impressive as translations apps are, could I really use it to find out what they’re saying?—

“Be eat ease, Tandy. I am Lucian. That is my brother Damien. Do not fear. We will not harm you.”

Well, first of all, I didn’t think they were going to until he mde it a point to assure me that they wouldn’t. Second?—

“You can… you can talk? I mean, in English?”

Lucian nods. “Because of your essence, dear one. Thank you. It’s clear that you didn’t know Sombran?—”

“Sombran?” I ask, interrupting the monster and not really caring that I did. He took me here. Both of them did. The least they can do is explain wherehereis.

“Yes. We are Sombra demons. This our world. Our home. And your room.”

Forget that last part. Sue me, but I’m more interested in the first thing he said.

“Demons?” I echo. Look at that. I guess my initial reaction was right. They are demon twins!

“We are the doppelseers,” he continues.

And… he’s lost me again. Though, to be fair, I’m not sure he ever found me.

“The what? Hold on. Let’s backtrack to you guys beingdemons?—”

“We, dear one, are you mates.”

Okay. That one renders me speechless for a second.

I can only think of a few reasons why he would use that word, and considering I doubt the UK or Australia has two moons like this place does, I high doubt he means ‘mate’ like ‘buddy’.

“Mates? Like… ‘fucking’ mates? ‘Banging’ mates?” I lift my hands. With my left, I form a circle with my thumb and pointer finger. With my right, the pointer finger stays extended. I poke the hole I made. “Mates, like you want to do this to me.”

Lucian’s eyes light up. As the glow brightens, the purple looks paler, closer to the strange white color of his other eye. “Are you prepared to take us now? We can claim you each first, or together. How is it done with humans?” He gestures at the big ass bean bag chair. “Would you like to mate now? Or,” he adds, waving at the empty silver bathtub. With a flex of his fingers, water starts to run from the spout without him going anywhere near it. “Or would you like to bathe first?”

I don’t know whether to be offended that he’s implying I might be a dirty human or that he can just take me along with his twin and I’ll jump into the bed and fuck two demons at the same time.

Okay. To be fair, that is a very ‘Tandy’-like thing to do. If I agreed to this madness, it wouldn’t be my first threesome. It wouldn’t even be my first time with a pair of twins, though banging two seven-foot-tall demons who seem to think that I will simply because I’m their ‘mate’ is surprisingly a first for me.

Wow. Just when you thought you’d done everything…

I shake my head. “Sorry, but I don’t think any of that is happening tonight.”

“It’s too soon. I understand?—”

“Tandy,” I provide quickly. Having him call me a pet name like ‘dear one’ makes it all too obviouswhythey brought me here.

Lucian frowns. “Yes. I know that.”

Right. Because he stole my soul—sorry. Myessenceand now I’m expected to believe he knows everything about me.

Which, now that I think about it, would explain why he thought I’d shrug and start to strip before climbing into that bean bag chair with him and his curiously quiet twin. If he learned enough about me to pick up English from my brain and picked out my name, he’s gotta know that I like to have sex.

Does that mean I’m about to bang the two demons who took me to their world without so much as a ‘what are your plans for New Year’s Eve?’ Hell. At least Jaredtriedto start small talk before attempting to hook up.
