(Amaia)

(NSFW Content Ahead)

Well-toned abs and thick thighs of his make my mouth water. My eyes wander over every inch of bronzed skin he possesses.

Owning him, marvelling at him. That golden halo makes him appear like an angel, my angel.

What a fine specimen he is, just like his brother.

I can clearly see the huge bulge in his boxers when he shamelessly asks,

"Do you want me to take these off too?"

Do I want him too?

Yes, he is mine and I am done playing hide and seek with my mates.

Desperately I desire him, all of him. Both of us are broken and in pain, and maybe this will mend some of the hurt we carry.

Without any reluctance, I nod at him and he voraciously smiles at me.

"Remember, if I take this off, this will be going in." He points towards his bulge and warns me as if that is going to deter me.

A thrill like a lick of flame runs through me. Someone seems to have filled my veins with liquid sunlight.

Slowly I pick myself up, crawl forward and leave the mattress. Straightening, I approach Mintaka and place my hand on his naked, bronzed chest.

Lifting my head, I watch my mate with crazed eyes.

Feverishly warm is his skin. The connection makes both of us shudder from the overwhelming feelings that run down the bond.

His chest tightens under my touch, his eyes carry me.

"Why don’t I help you with that?" My hands slowly slide down to the edges of his boxer shorts, feeling every perfected ridge, contour, muscle and valley of his torso and then the V-line above his groin.

A feral hunger descends in his partially green-gold-blackish eyes, followed by a sinful smile that turns my insides to putty. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"By all means," he cockishly says, enjoying this teasing dance between us.

Hardly has my hand slipped inside his boxer shorts when the doorknob violently rattles, announcing the arrival of Alnitak like the hurricane he is.

"He is here," Min says with amusement. "Pause, we will begin from here."

I withdraw my hand and Mintaka moves towards the door to unlock it for his brother.

Alnitak enters like a torpedo, his eyes wide, breaths coming in loud pants as if he has been running and hair in disarray.

His frantic gaze finds me. "Tell me you didn’t." Pushing past his brother he prowls towards me.

Mintaka closes and bolts the door behind him.

Alnitak’s arms come around me, pulling me into his heaving chest. I wrap my arms around him, soaking in everything that is Alnitak.

"We were waiting for you," Mintaka says from behind him, moving closer to us. "But we are going to do this today."

Extending his hand, he takes a few strands of my hair in it and brings them close to his nose, scenting them.

"I wanted to mark her first and then mate with her, after a proper ceremony," Alnitak says to his brother who is still taking in the fragrance of my hair.

Mintaka let go of my strands.

"That’s not necessary, Ali. We can mate as soon as we find our soulmate. And with Amaia, this is a necessity now." Mintaka’s mesmerising eyes flip towards me.

"She is cursed, I know now but there is a curse mark on her thigh. That’s what brings her immeasurable pain and she doesn’t let anyone see it." Mintaka points towards my right leg and I go extremely stiff in Alnitak’s hold. My hold on the front of his shirt tightens.

Alnitak’s bewildered gaze finds me.

"That’s why you never let me bathe with you." Lifting his hand he uses the back of it to caress my cheek. "I am sorry, I didn’t know."

Placing my hand on his sharp cheekbones I lovingly whisper.

"You have nothing to apologise for. The people who did this will be sorry when I am done with them."

"We, when we are done with them," Alnitak corrects me, gently rubbing my waist.

"We are going to take away that pain by taking turns to make love to you. Every bit of misery you were made to endure will be wiped today. Do you want to give yourself to us?" Mintaka’s hand slither inside my hair, and he grips it at the base of my neck, making my head turn towards him.

Dizzy and overwhelmed, I feel at these double sensations my body has begun to feel from their combined proximities.

But, I am so into exploring these uncharted waters that are my mates.

"Please! I am starved for both of you," I breathlessly say.

Alnitak cradles my face with both his hands, intense eyes boring into me making my body spasm with electrifying sensations.

"Don’t forget, Amaia. I will be the first one to claim you."

Mintaka’s free hand comes to land on his brother’s shoulder. "We both know you are dying to lose your virginity. You can have our mate first while I have prepared her for you."

Alnitak’s eyes leave me for just a second and slide towards his brother.

"So thoughtful of you."

"Undress her," Mintaka urged his brother, letting him take control.

An unease settled into my gut, thinking of the searing pain that would come with them seeing my cursed mark.

But Alnitak’s warm hands hold onto my face while he requests.

"I know you may not want to but can I remove your necklace? I wish to see the real you." The curiosity his words hold has both brothers longingly stare at me.

A smile slowly makes its way to my lips. Reaching with my hands, I hold onto the chain of my necklace and slowly take it off.

"It’s not like we are going to be doing any magic. We are just going to make love and I want to be myself. It’s not every day, I get to let myself be free."

Like two identical mannequins, both of them stare at me without even blinking as my hair, eyes and ears begin to change.
