Page 29 of Daddies' Little Cubs

“Jessa, Destiny, this is Eli and Jackson West. They are the friends and Daddies I told you that I went to college with.”

“West?” Destiny whispered. “You have the same last name” Jessa muttered next.

“Well, I would hope we do, considering we are married.” Eli said, stepping further into the room, pulling Jackson behind him squatting down in front of where the girls were sitting on the floor.

“Wait, wait, wait! Wait just a second! You mean that all semester you knew that we were getting close to both of you but never once thought to mention that you were married,”Jessa stated still not believing this was happening. “TO EACH OTHER!” Destiny yelled!

“Yes, Little one. We had our reasons. Ones that we hope you will let us explain, but not today. Today, we just want to spend some time with both of you and get to know you without the strain of the college pressing on us.” Jackson sweetly cooed, running his thumb across Destiny’s cheek.

“I can’t believe this. Why would we ever want to listen to anything you have to say?” Jessa angrily demanded. She was upset that they had tricked them and kept such an important detail about themselves from her and Des.

Eli spoke next and her heart broke when he muttered out, “You don’t owe us the time to explain ourselves, but I hope that you will, babygirl. We would understand if you didn’t ever want to see us again. Say the word and we will go.”

No one said a word, just continued to look at the girls. Looking at her twin, the girls carried out a full conversation with only glances. It was Des that broke the tension, saying a single word that warmed Jessa’s heart, because she knew it was the right one.

“Stay.”

CHAPTER ELEVEN

DESTINY

She couldn’t believe it. Jackson was sitting beside her on the floor while she worked on decorating the Christmas picture frame sitting in front of her. After the men showed up, it took a little while for her to feel comfortable enough to slightly slip back into Little space.

It wasn’t easy letting strangers see her like that, but then she remembered that they weren’t actually strangers. Her and Jess had spent the past sixteen weeks getting to know them, stealing sweet and intimate moments between their hectic class schedules.

That didn’t stop the panic that had bubbled up when D noticed it was them that had stepped into the room. She was grateful that Jessa broke the tension and helped calm her panic by telling the guys they weren’t exempt from their antics. Destiny knew that neither of them were prepared for what happened next.

Seeing the two men kiss like they had no concern in the world was something else, but Destiny couldn’t help but feel a little off. She of course found the men attractive, but she couldn’t figure out why seeing that didn’t turn her on like people always said happened to them.

There was no fire burning deep within her belly. No warmth flooding her knickers. No deep desire to watch it progress further. That’s not to say that she didn’t find it attractive, Des just didn’t feel the same things that others do.

Deciding to not focus on that part of herself in this moment, she pushed the thoughts that she was broken out of her brain, turning her focus to the things in front of her. She had a picture frame to finish and there was no way she was letting this time with Jackson and Eli slip away from her while she tried to dissect her feelings.

“Mr. Jackson, can you please hand me the pink glitter marker beside you?”

Destiny opened her hand waiting for Jackson to drop the marker she asked for into her palm. She gave him a cheeky grin as he did what she asked before turning back to the craft in front of her.

Eli sat on the other side of her working with Jess on her craft. This wasn’t how she expected today to go, but Destiny felt content sitting there with her friends and the men that would maybe one day be her Daddies.

A few hourshad passed and all the Littles had slipped into Rae’s nursery to sit and play with dolls before calling it a night. It wouldn’t be much longer before Olivia would need to leave, so they were trying to make the most of the little bit of time they had together.

The men had stayed in the living room cleaning up the mess from the last craft and dinner, so the twins were using this time to grill Rae and Olivia about everything they knew.

“Did you know that Eli and Jackson were married?” D asked, looking at Raelyn. Rae gave her a slight nod before clearing things up for them.

“When you mentioned to me that there were some guys at the college that you and Jessa were getting close to I didn’t realize it was the Wests that you were talking about. You only ever referred to them as their first name and well that could be anyone.”

Destiny thought back to all the conversations they had with Rae about the guys and she was right. Never once did they mention a last name, nor any details that would have given away exactly who they were talking about.

Her and Jessa had decided that it was pointless to give too many details about Jackson and Eli because they knew nothing could come of it. There was no reason to harp on the things that they couldn’t have and up until tonight, neither of the twins thought that they would be able to have them.

Jessa piped up next, asking the question that was burning in the back of Destiny’s mind as well. “Did you know it was them that would be coming tonight?” Rae had the decency to look ashamed at that question which told Destiny that she did know and chose not to say anything.

“I did. Eli had reached out to Emmett a couple weeks ago and they all went out to lunch together. The guys laid it out to Emmett that they had fallen for both of you and were determined to make you theirs.”

Rae took a small breath before continuing. Destiny could tell that keeping this secret from her and Jess had been eating at their sister. Knowing that helped ease the anger she felt towards the situation.

“Emmett came home and told me about it since we don’t keep secrets from each other and because as your sister he wanted to make sure that I was okay with the possibility youwould be dating older men. Especially since those same men were in positions of authority over you.”
