Promised To The Alpha Twins – Chapter 74

“I can do it myself,” I told Liam, sitting on the pale sofa in the gym’s lounge.

After some much-needed time together, I was more than ready to go home and take a long shower. Not only was the sweat starting to dry on my skin, but I also had a comfortable soreness between my legs.

Liam had picked up a towel and was running it under the cold water from the sink. Every now and then, his eyes glanced over to where I was; completely naked and surprisingly unabashed on the sofa. “Are you sure about that, sweetheart?” He directed a smile that made my insides melt. It was hard not to smile when the twins looked at me this way.

wouldn’t rush into anything. Although the towel was made of horribly rough material, every stroke of his hand was incredibly gentle. Both of them were so tough, so dominant during s*x, but this was different. Every time I had been with them, they always insisted on taking care of me afterward. The few times I had thought about being intimate with a guy, this wasn’t something I thought would happen afterward.

my body would never stop reacting to his caresses, and I looked forward to every heated and gentle moment between us. “You and Ethan are.” A quick flash of disbelief crossed his face. It was almost too fast for me to catch, but I could taste a slight hint of bitterness in the emotion. “Don’t tell that to Ethan,” he chuckled, giving no sign that he had felt that fleeting emotion. “I like to think his ego is a little bigger than mine.”

ss when my fingers found the dark beard on his cheek and jaw. I could feel him relaxing under the touch of my fingers, and the intensity of his emotions began to diminish. It was comforting to know that my touch had the same effect on him as his touch had on me. A simple touch could unleash a whirlwind of emotions within me, each one different depending on the intention.

t about how it might have affected me. Since I let go of all those unpleasant emotions, I realized something. I no longer hated her; I felt sorry for her. Lia and Dub couldn’t hurt me anymore, and they never would. They were the ones trapped in that vicious cycle, building a wall around themselves with those corrupted emotions. Letting them go made me feel freer than ever.

tomach growled so loudly that I flinched, so I decided to postpone the shower for now. I opted for a comfortable t-shirt and jeans and headed down to the kitchen in search of something to eat. “Looks like you’re lost in your thoughts,” Liam and Ethan’s mom said, chuckling as she entered the kitchen. Her blonde hair was tied up in a messy ponytail, a similar shade to Lia’s. Unlike Lia, who was vengeful, manipulative, and emotionally abusive, Liam and Ethan’s mom was the complete opposite. She was the perfect example o

I helped her make the pizza dough as best as I could, and I watched as she stretched it and let it rest to rise. In the end, I had flour all over me, even in my hair, but I was grateful I hadn’t showered yet. Once the dough had risen almost triple its size, Liam and Ethan’s mom divided it into two parts.

Maybe finding my own family had healed that wound, or maybe I did it myself. Either way, as our laughter filled the house, I couldn’t think of a place where I’d rather be.
