Twins Unexpected

Chapter 21 - /frēdəm/

I froze as I was in the huge walk-in closet to get the special gown that Fintan seemed to pull out of thin air. Luckily there was a small bench in there as I sat down as I tried to gather my wits, they seemed to have scattered.

I heard Fintan talking to me from the other room, "We'll stand on stage as the King gives a speech..." I was trying to tune him out as I pulled another gorgeous gown out and looked at the peach color, it complimented my skin tone. I looked down and saw my silver sandals, so I pulled them out and started to undress.

"Um hum," I replied to whatever Fintan was saying, and he kept on going talking about the sequence of events for the 'Installation'. I'd already been over things with the Queen and her secretary as we spent yesterday afternoon together, I felt pretty awkward but she did her best to make me comfortable. I was replacing her after all.

Someday I'd forgive her for it.

Suddenly an intense Fintan walked into the closet as I was slithering and twisting into the dress, only wearing a strapless bra. Stopping suddenly like I was caught with my hand in a cookie jar, Fintan stopped mid-sentence and just stared at me. His gaze moving to my breasts, then moving slowly lower as the bulge in his suit pants slowly got bigger.

I just licked my lips, then looked back into his eyes unable to look away. Until I noticed that I was getting hotter, so I continued getting dressed while watching my effect on him- then turned so he could zip me up. I'd come a long way from my Luna ceremony when I needed help getting ready.

I felt Fintan's heat as he neared me, his breath hot on my neck. Followed by his lips, then moving down my bare back, and then back up- stopping to kiss each of my scars with his soft lips. Caressing each of them, the healed bullet holes from the day of slaughter.

Then zipping up my dress slowly I heard his deep breathing as he moved his hands around to caress my stomach, holding me close. I had one or two scars there as well.

"It will be rough tonight, Little Wolf," he whispered in my ear then moved away. Taking a few steps away from his intense heat, I sat down on the bench and put on my sandals. And when I glanced up at him, his eyes were slightly glowing amber telling me his wolf was rising.

Calling to his mate, and my wolf happily responded growling low in my chest as I gave him a Mona Lisa smile. 'Bring it,' was all I thought to myself.

Swallowing, my mate adjusted himself in his pants then said in a stilted voice, "It's time to make our appearance, mate." Walking to him I kissed him lightly on the lips, then slightly adjusted his tie, I loved grooming my mate.

Especially in the shower.

Walking into our room, Jeremy shut the door then stopped dead in his tracks. "Wow," he said with the essence of a prayer in his voice as his eyes lit up. He took a few quick steps towards me, then gathered me up and spun me around. He had returned only a short while ago, we needed to present a united front. A strong unity.

"Jeremy," I warned but was cut off when his lips claimed mine, kissing me hard.

"Hmmm," is all he said and kept kissing me while my arms reached up to pull him closer. Hearing an urgent knock on the door, Jeremy reluctantly pulled away as I heard Fintan walk to dismiss the messenger who was telling us it was time to go.

"You'll have to fix your lipstick again," Jeremy teased me as he pulled out a handkerchief and wiped off his mouth.

Huffing out a breath I marched to the bathroom to fix my face. Then walking back out both my mates were waiting for me, Fintan in a dark grey tailored power suit with square, black cufflinks. And Jeremy with a navy power suit and tie, with pearl button cufflinks.
