Their Mate And Luna

CHAPTER 53

ALMOST TOUCHING US

VINCE

She took my breath away when she opened the door. Knocked all the air away from the world around me. Before we stepped out of the car, we could smell her. Grateful that we caught her before she left for school.

After what transpired last night, we decided that we had to speak to her first thing this morning. Also, when Savvy had linked us that Nicole was planning on resuming work in the mansion, Vance and I had to hurry out of the house.

No mate of mine is working ever again in the mansion. Besides, she is going to be our Luna.

We still had a lot of apologizing to do to our parents and her family. That can wait. She was the most important right now. Especially now that she’s dressed in a dress showing her gorgeous and creamy legs.

Goddess! I never knew she was this beautiful. Vance calling her ‘Brown eyes’, isn’t wrong entirely. Her brown orbs are the most amazing and heart-stopping eyes I have ever seen. Right from the first day we discovered she was our mate. Or was it before then? I can’t really say.

All I know is that I have always been mesmerized by those eyes.

Then why did I reject her? Subject her to such pain and misery on one of the most important days of her life?

Pride. Ego. Because we felt she was weak. She’s an Omega.

Whatever our reasons, I will always term it as foolishness based on our ignorance. An ignorance based on our arrogance.

Our father was right; the mate bond was favoring us. When her eyes roamed our bodies, I felt something warm break out inside me, like the first day we discovered she was our mate.

My insides are dancing. Ares howls in excitement as our mate takes us in with her eyes, from our legs up to our faces.

I see the way her eyes settle on our lips. A dreamy look in her eyes, telling me she is thinking of tasting our lips. And when she stretches forth her hand towards us, I howl along with Axel in my head. I can hear her heart beating loudly in her chest.

Vance’s aura washes out, mixing with mine. Ares is doing backflips with Axel. Both sit on their haunches anticipating her touch. Her eyes meeting ours, seeking for permission was like an abomination.

She needs no permission to touch us.

She is the only one who should touch us.

The only one who can touch us.

And who will touch us.

My eyes, dart between her slender fingers and her face, cast in a trancelike feature. I lick my lips, waiting, puffing my chest out and holding my breath, readying my eyes to close, waiting for the sparks and tingles to decorate my skin and engulf my entire body.

Ares dangles his tongue, whimpering. The suspense killing him.

Both of us waiting for our mate to touch us herself for the first time.

But, alas! She snaps out of it and slowly coil her fingers away and drop her hands to her sides. Ares growls softly in my head, disappointed, and releasing a loud whimper.

I couldn’t help but to ask her why.

She doesn’t reply and turns away, walking back inside. I compensate myself with a smile, seeing how she turns red in embarrassment.

Thank you mate bond.

VANCE

Our parent’s disappointed looks while we were leaving the house followed us as we drove down to Nicole’s place. They were in deep conversation with Uncle Oscar and Aunt Mabel on how to deal with Dean and the Council. If eventually they show up.

Our father still wants us to not bother about this and focus instead on patching things up with our mate. And her family too.

After the truth came out last night and our confession and acceptance of our bond with Nicole, we decided to catch her before she leaves for school. Hearing Savvy’s link that Nicole plans on coming to the house to resume work, spurred us to hasten down to her place.

No mate and Luna of mine will do such work again. Not even for me. I am the one that should be cooking for her.

I have to learn how to do so. Vince already does. Who would have imagined that he could cook?

Her sweet vanilla and dark chocolate scent filled my nostrils before we even knocked. Hearing her sweet voice calling out, sent Axel and I into another realm. We couldn’t wait to see her face. To see her eyes.

And when she opened the door, those brown eyes widened in surprise, she seemed stuck in place as she roamed her eyes over Vince’s and I bodies.

She likes what she sees. My confidence breaks off the chart at this revelation.

I will gladly take off all my clothes for her eyes to roam over my entire body, if she asks me to do so right now. Only she can see. I want only her eyes to look at me for the rest of my life.

She stretches out a hand towards us, as if in a trance. Then she leaves the door, bringing the other hand forward, coming close to us. She darts her eyes between us. Is she asking for permission to touch us?

No way. She needs no permission. She can touch me all day. I know Vince would want that too.

She can touch me anywhere, anyhow and anytime.

I am hers as much as she is ours.

Axel whimpers in anticipation for her hands to reach us. My heart can’t stop beating furiously at the thought of the sparks and tingles that will erupt all over me.

I am still waiting when she suddenly snaps out of her trance and pull her fingers away, dropping her hands to her sides. Axel instantly growls in my head, leading me to release mine too.

Vince asks her why she stopped, but she doesn’t answer and instead walks back inside. My eyes trail her, noticing how short her gown is, revealing her smooth, long and creamy legs and half of her thighs.

Is she wearing that to school?

“Hey!” Vince stops me with a soft glare. “Just let it slide for now.”

“Sure,” I huff out, walking inside. There’s no way she’s going to school without me taking her.
