Circle of Three

Chapter 13

Seth wanted to listen to what was going on outside of his walls, but all he could focus on was the intoxicating smell that formed when Max and Monique's individual scents combined.

They knew Monique was still stressing about their current predicament, so Max opted for a game. It was between Truth or Dare or 21 questions and Seth already knew which of the two his mates wanted to play.

He was obviously going to be the tie breaker and opted to side with Monique to lessen her stress levels. He knew Max would have himself buried deep inside of her on a dare if it were left to him.

Seth couldn't blame him. There was an innocence about the angel that made them want to corrupt her in the best way. They would hopefully get their chance, but for now Seth took comfort getting to know his mate on a deeper level.

"Have you ever been in love?" Seth asked Monique on the nineteenth question. She looked at him with a small smile and nodded. She could tell they were both angry by the way they stiffened and giggled.

"I fell in love with the two of you the moment I laid eyes on you. I felt like parts of me that had been missing had finally returned. It felt like my heart was beating on rhythm for the first time." She mimicked the happy smiles they gave her. They had learned a lot about one another thanks to the game and she was appreciative.

She knew she should've felt like the odd man out since the two had known one another for a couple of years, but she didn't. It wasn't even just how they included her, but she loved just watching them interact. It was the sexiest thing to catch the subtle touches or quick kisses.

Max loved catching her watch them. She made it so easy, because it was obvious that them together turned her on. Her arousal was his new favorite smell and Max couldn't wait to be buried inside of her to show his appreciation.

"My turn," Monique began. "What are we going to do if your mom can't fix this?" She said forcing the mood to do a swift 180. "Baby, it's going to be fine." Max said caressing her cheek.

"He's right, dove. She has a crazy relationship with my great-grandfather. It'll work itself out. I know it will, so don't worry." She gave Seth a warm smile and squealed when he pulled her into his lap.

Seth just wanted to be close to her. Angels were cool natured which opposed the heat of a demon entirely. It felt so good holding her that Seth knew he was past the point of addicted.

"My turn," Max said in a tone Seth knew spelt trouble. Monique stopped giggling from the way Seth nuzzled her neck to look up at Max. "Truth or Dare to both of you." Monique scoffed with a pout. "That's not a question Max." 

The demon nodded at the conundrum before smirking. "Would you both rather play a quick round of Truth or Dare or have to run naked throughout this house?" Seth chuckled at the pout on his mate's face and kissed her temple. "Truth." Monique finally blurted. "Is it true that you're a virgin?" Monique gasped at his question.

She looked down at her hands and for a moment Seth and Max shared a look that meant death to whatever man touched their mate. "I am a virgin." Monique finally said before looking up at them. "Does that make me less attractive to you?" She questioned while pushing up her glasses. "Baby," Seth cooed before pulling her closer. "If anything, that makes you hotter." Max chimed in. Monique smiled a little, but then frowned and pulled out of Seth's embrace.

"What about you two, huh? It's so hot and expected for the girl to be the virgin, but men get to fuck and suck as they please!" Max chuckled at her outburst before pulling her into his lap and nuzzling her neck. 

"The double standards unfortunately don't start and stop with mortals. We know that." Monique huffed still angry that they had yet to answer the question. She was an angel, so she wasn't supposed to kill but she wasn't opposed to a little torture and maiming to whoever touched her mates.
