Chapter 68 Faith
Thea followed the triplets up to the top floor of the giant pack house. The room smelled like the triplets. Intoxicating.
“We shared this room, didn’t we?” Thea said.
They nodded.
“It smells like you guys,” she said. Zoe wanted to rub herself all over the bed and bask in the triplets’ scent. “How weird is it that I can smell them? Like, I can tell they live in this room because I can smell it? What the hell?” she thought.
“You can tell that you lived here with them, right?” Zoe said.
“Yeah. It’s obvious we lived together,” Thea thought. “I just don’t remember it.”
Thea felt the triplets’ worry.
“I’m sorry, I don’t remember anything. It seems like we were close,” she said out loud.
“We grew up together,” Alaric said. “We knew everything about each other.”
“I guess it just means we have to let you get to know us all over. That could be fun,” Conri said.
“Or we could remember for you,” Kaiser said. He stepped up to Thea and pushed her hair behind her ear. Sparks shot through her body. “We can tell you everything about our life before.”
Thea looked up into his crystal blue eyes.
“You would do that for me?” Thea said.
“We’ll do anything and everything for you,” Kaiser said.
“Don’t you have better things to do than babysit someone who doesn’t remember you?”
“We spent all our time with you before. That’s not going to change unless you tell us to leave you alone,” Kaiser said.
“Don’t you dare,” Zoe said. “I will take over before I let you—”
“Calm down, Zoe,” Thea thought. “I’m not kicking them out.” Thea couldn’t imagine telling these men to leave her alone. It seemed more plausible that she would beg them not to leave.
“All your time, huh?” Thea said out loud.
Kaiser nodded. “We’ve always been inseparable,”
he said.
The tingles she felt when he was near were thrilling. The sparks from his touch were exhilarating. Smelling her own scent mixed with theirs in this room made everything feel so familiar. All their scents combined smelled right.
“I like the sound of that,” Thea said. She couldn’t stop herself from leaning into him.
Kaiser trailed his fingers down her arm and lightly interlaced their fingers, caressing her palm with his thumb.
Thea’s free hand went to Kaiser’s waist, pulling him closer. He brought her hand up to his lips. He kissed the inside of her wrist, then down her arm until it was wrapped around his shoulder, and he was kissing her neck. He reached a spot that made Thea gasp, moan, then melt into him. Zoe felt drunk inside her head.
Then there were sparks all over her body as four other hands joined Kaiser’s. Two other mouths found similar spots on the other side of her neck, and she was putty in their hands.
