Accepting My Twin Mates Chapter 34

CHAPTER 34 – A SURPRISE? – II OF II

Evie

Eventually, Badru had put me down. There was nothing on this earth that would get me to admit to him

just how much I had loved it, being held in his arms. I was not the ‘swooning’ type of woman, on the

outside at least, and I wasn’t about to start now… no matter how impressive it was that my weight

seemed nothing to him. Or how fantastic the tingles felt all over my body where his arms touched… or

his wonderful scent of nutmeg and cinnamon that made me crave the sweet tree sap aroma of his

twin’s presence. Judging by the little smirk on Badru’s impossibly perfect mouth, he knew through our

bond his effect on me. His silence on the topic only made it worse, heightening the intensity.

Part way around on our patrol, he stripped down to shift to his wolf. I hadn’t intended on looking but his

naked flesh drew me in like a magnet. Every facet, dip and swell of his golden muscles gleamed

against the snow-dusted forest. It had been a hard task not to physically drool, let alone look away.

This was the first time I had met his wolf, Baniti, properly. He was huge, standing around chest height.

His fur was pure black as the night, soft and thick, adding to his size. His eyes were an even more

luminous shade of sapphire blue, capturing me instantly. Everything about him screamed dominant and

powerful predator, yet around me, it was like I was playing with a labrador. Baniti had knocked me

down to lick every inch of my face and ran circles around me, demanding every ounce of my attention.

‘I swear, it’s only you he’s like this with. The other warriors are actually scared to fight him when we’re

in wolf form,’ Badru laughed awkwardly, as said ‘terrifying wolf’ laid on his back, tongue hanging out,

tail wagging rapidly, all while lying across my lap as I hadn’t been allowed to stand.

‘I’m sure your enemies shake like a leaf when faced with such an apex predator,’ and even he knew I

was teasing.

I rubbed under the wolf’s chin and up the side of his face, laughing at his groans of bliss. I was finally

allowed to stand and we moved on with our patrol. Baniti remained glued to my side, wanting my hand

running through his fur constantly. Despite his playful side, he remained vigilant of the world around us,

his eyes twitching to every possible sound or danger.

‘How about we get to the surprise I promised you?’ Badru mind-linked when our patrol came to an end.

‘Ok,’ I replied, intrigued.

We had been walking for hours and I would be thankful for a rest to get off of my feet. Even though I

hated surprises, this one would be welcome. He led me north of our position, to the very top of the

territory and not far from the border. The smell of sulphur clung to the air the further we went and there

could only be one destination he was taking me to; the hot springs. I had only visited once before with

Lucy a few years ago. But I had been prepared then and had a swimsuit… this time around I had

nothing.

The sly bastard. His quite literal wolfish grin told me whatever it was he had stuffed in the backpack

was nothing for swimming in.

The pale blue murky waters came into sight, steam billowing and warming the air with its heat. The

pools were situated under a rock ledge, forming a cave-like structure. Baniti took a running jump into

one of them with an almighty splash. Who surfaced, was not the wolf.

Time slowed, as the water’s surface and steam broke apart, revealing a glistening wall of deep golden

muscles. Each water droplet clinging to his chest caught the afternoon sun’s rays, accentuating his

skin. The water’s surface ended just above his d**k, leaving only the thin line of dark hair to his navel to

tempt me, wanting to follow that line and curse the water for blocking my view.

Badru’s grin widened, showing off that little dimple on one side. He sat back into the pool and rested

his arms out on the stone edge, his eyes a swirling mass of pure black and deep blue. I hadn’t noticed

my mouth had been gaping wide open, shamelessly ogling every inch of my mate.

‘You dare tell me our coochie don’t feel stupid right now,’ Evva smirked, knowing full well our arousal

was flooding the air.

“You getting in?” He slicked his wet hair back clinging to his neck. “Or are you gonna keep staring?”

“But I’d be naked,” I stupidly said… that was the point and was why he brought me here. “I mean, I-I’m

not getting in naked!” I said a little firmer.

“I’m not getting out any time soon,” he challenged, leaning his head back and closing his eyes. “You

want to go back home? Have a fun walk.”

He sighed in relaxation, his body rippling and sinking further into the waters. Holy f**k, I had never been

more turned on in my life. I felt my chin grow damp and quickly wiped it before I was caught. Great, I

was actually drooling.

“Keep your eyes closed,” he cracked one open after hearing me. “I mean it! I’m not getting in if you

look.”

I quickly stripped down, putting my clothes and the backpack on a ledge and keeping my eyes on the

sneaky wolf male the whole time. Evva howled in laughter one last time before ditching me to focus on

her own mate counterpart. The air chilled me instantly and I practically jumped into the warm waters.

Finding my footing and looking for a stone ridge to sink into to cover myself, I sat as far as possible

from Badru and brought my knees up to my chest, every nerve in my body aware of how naked we

were.

“You really not gonna come sit over here with me?” He smirked, opening his eyes and switching to that

signature puppy expression.

“Near your wandering hands? No,” I scowled.

All that did was cause his smile to deepen, flexing his arms to rest behind his head. If both twins had

been here, I would have been cooked. I sank up to my chin in the water, feeling its heat penetrate my

aching muscles and hoping the scent of the springs would cover up any of my arousal, which I had

zero control over, flooding out of me.

My eyes closed to enjoy the tranquillity; the breeze through the trees, the ripple of the water around us,

all could have lulled me to sleep. I was snapped back to reality with the sound of the water disturbed,

the sensation of an eruption of tingles across my ankle startled me.

“What the f**k do you think you’re doing?!” I tried to snatch my foot back, but his long thick fingers held

me tight, gentle yet firm.

“Trust me,” he settled next to me. “You’ve walked for miles, I thought I’d rub your feet.”

I narrowed my eyes, “I’m sure that’s all you wan-”

He pressed into the soft pad of my foot. Any argument I was about to voice melted into an enraptured

moan.

“What was that?” Badru hummed, pulling my leg closer. “You want me to stop, just say.”

He worked his thumbs into the underside of my foot, stroking along the top and massaging the

pressure points. My head rolled back and I couldn’t keep my quiet whimpers at bay. He switched to the

opposite foot, repeating the same motions. These were some magic hands. And they were slowly
