Page 37 of Taken By the Twins

I smile down at her.

Her face melts into one of pure delight. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen you smile before,” she says softly. “Looks good on you.”

I drop a kiss to the top of her pretty red hair. I’ve wanted to put my mouth on her again since the day I panicked and fled from her quarters after she put hers on mine. This isn’t her mouth since it’s her hair, but our mate is right in her certainty that we will now have forever.

I’m not worried about the prophecy. Before, I was, but only because Lucian is afraid of something happening to our Tandy before we could finalize our bond. That was my being selfish again. So sure she would choose Lucian, I was prepared to wait for them to accept each other. Now I see that I should’vegiven Tandy my essence and my cock as soon as she would’ve welcomed it.

Still, there is time. We are the doppelseers. With our mate to protect and her essence to bolster us, there isn’t anything we won’t be able to accomplish.

Tandy seemssure that Lucian is waiting for us in the threshold of our cabin. She made it clear that my brother only lingered because of his promise to me, and that Tandy used her human wiles to convince Lucian to let her run into the shadowy woods unprotected, but I will remember to discuss that with my brother later.

What if I had been fully demonic? What if I still could turn? I know he has faith in me, but to risk Tandy? We can never allow any harm to befall our mate.

She is right, though. Lucian is pacing along the threshold, but as though he used our bond to find us, he breaks for the shadows right before we exit them.

Tandy waves. “Look who I found?”

Lucian comes to a stop. For a moment, I’m worried that he scents me all over our mate and has sudden regrets about sharing her. He never has, he’s never given me any sign that he wanted Tandy as his own, but I am worried?—

I shouldn’t be.

He lets out a soft roar of his own, dashing over to us. After giving Tandy a quick welcoming squeeze, he claps his hand on my shoulder.

“Brother. I can’t believe it. Youreyes.”

Tandy looks up at me. “Oh, shit,” she says, slipping into English again in her surprise. “I didn’t notice. Damien, your eyesare purple. Both of them.” She swivels back so that she’s facing Lucian. I already know what’s going to say before she blurts out, “You, too, Lucian.”

Purple eyes. We both have purple eyes. As though we were born brothers instead of twins, we each have a matching set of mage eyes…

I would trade them. If it meant I had to carry the mark of the white gaze with me to keep Lucian as my twin and Tandy as our mate, I would trade them… and I know that my twin agrees.

Luckily, we don’t have to. Luckily, Tandyisour mate… or she will be as soon as we claim her.

We no longer share essence. Not while it swirls around inside of our Tandy, but as my brother squeezes my shoulder wordlessly, I know exactly what he is about to do. How many times have we discussed this very night? Without being able to see what mating our female would be like, we imagined it, and now it’s about to come true.

So when Lucian starts to lower his body to the ash, I follow him. As one, we go down on bended knee.

Lucian clears his throat. “Will you accept us as your mates?”

“Can we give you our mate’s promise and make you ours?” I add.

Beneath the nearly full moon over our heads, Tandy’s eyes might be a dull green shade, but they seem to sparkle as she holds out a hand to each of us. “Hey. I’m already pretty stretched out, and as lubricated as I can get. What better time to try taking two demon dicks at the same time?”

Tandy is small. She does not have the physical strength to heft us to our feet, but neither my twin or I release our mate as we return to a standing position.

Neither of us make a move for the entrance to the cabin, though, and she gives us another curious look.

“Oh, you thought I was joking? No. I’m not joking. I’ve been dreaming about this since I gave in and decided that you, you, and me… we’re a thing. The things I’ve seen us do in my dreams… yeah, no. Let’s go.”

Only we don’t. Not yet.

As my twin and I locked our purple gazes together, I know we’re both thinking the same thing.

Is Tandy dreaming? Or seeing a vision?

Is our human mate a visionary like we are? By bonding the three of us together, will we be the trebleseers?

What will this mean for the prophecy no?—
