...

"Holly shit!" Lyla said and had this weird look like she just figured something out.

"What?" I asked confusedly.

But before she could say anything else, the door flung open and all five of the geezers walked out with angry faces. The last one to walk out was the one who violated me. I immediately glared at him. He approached me with a smirk.

"Hello there kitten. Care to accompany me somewhere?" He said seductively and tried to take my chin.

His eyes flashed green for a second, which had me frozen in a second.

What the hell was that?!

A hand gripped his arm, stopping him seconds before he touched me.

"I suggest you just go. We don't want any more commotion now do we?" Draco said in a very deep and threatening voice.

Tharion was also looking like he was about to rip him apart. The old fucker tsked and yanked his arm away. Then he stormed away and went after his group. I breathed a sigh of relief. Despite this uncomfortable situation, my heart fluttered at how both of the twins protected me. Again.

"Are you okay?" Draco asked worriedly.

I nodded my head slowly and Lyla wrapped her arms around me, silently comforting me.

"Oh my God. Kate, you're so cold." She said with wide eyes.

"What?" I asked in confusion.

Draco took my hand and placed it between his. I blushed within seconds and my heart started to thump loudly. I just hope he can't feel it. His hands were so warm and gentle. It was so comforting and soothing against my cold hand.

"I think she got a little shocked." Draco said and then looked at me in the eyes.

I was immediately mesmerized by his ocean blue eyes. Then Tharion came into my vision.

"Do you feel light-headed?" He asked me.

"A little." I mumbled unconsciously.

"Lyla, can you grab her some tea. It will help her warm up." He said and Lyla was gone within seconds.

If I wasn't so mesmerized by them, I would be panicking by now because I'm alone with them. But weirdly enough, I feel very comfortable right now. Tharion took my other hand and gently rubbed it with his own.

"Come here Katie." Draco said and slowly pulled me into the meeting room from earlier.

Then he made me sit down between him and Tharion. Both of them were still holding my hands and I wasn't about to pull away.

It feels too good to pull away...

I could even feel myself dozing off slightly. They were gently rubbing my hands with theirs and I figured it was so they'd warm me up. But all it did was make me want to drown and sleep into their warmth for the rest of eternity.

Is this normal or is it just me?

"Sleep if you want to Katie." Draco said softly.

"But I-"

"Just do it. You're already dozing off." Tharion added with a small smile.

Then don't mind if I do...

I leaned back on the seat I was sitting on and slowly closed my eyes.

"Sweet dreams Katie." One of them said, but I was so close to falling asleep I couldn't tell who said it.

Probably Draco.

Then I felt something soft touching my temple on both sides. I hummed in content and let the darkness take over.

...

Katherine slowly fell asleep in their arms.

"Sweet dreams Katie." Tharion whispered and Draco slightly smirked at that.

Then both of them gently kissed her temple.

"I'm back." Lyla announced before she even walked into the meeting room.

"You carry her this time." Tharion said and got up.

Draco smiled from ear to ear and gently took Katherine in his arms.

"She fell asleep?" Lyla said in confusion.

"Not quite." Draco said with a grin.

"We put her to sleep." Tharion added.

"Why?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Because she looked drained and exhausted." Draco said and looked at Katherine in adoration.

He felt like he could fly to heaven in a second. The feeling of having Katherine in his arms awoke something in him. He was so ready to go back to his lair with Tharion and admire the sleeping beauty in his arms for the rest of his life.

'Did you feel like this when you carried her last time?' Draco asked his brother giddily.

'Yup.' Tharion answered.

Tharion felt the exact same way Draco did. The warmth Katherine provided when she was in his arms felt like home to him. He wanted nothing more than to just take her to his bed and drown himself in her warmth.

They went back to their office with Lyla trailing close behind them. When they walked in, Blaze's form greeted them.

"Hubby!" Lyla yelled excitedly and threw herself at Blaze, who immediately wrapped his arms around her.

The twins looked at them with smiles on their faces. But they couldn't help but feel a bit of envy. They also wanted to have a relationship like Blaze and Lyla had. With Katherine if possible.

Tharion sat on the couch in front of his desk and Draco gently laid Katherine's head on Tharion's lap. Then Draco sat next to him and placed Katherine's legs on his lap.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Lyla warned them.

"Why?" The twins said at the same time.

Lyla was about to say the answer to their question, but Blaze stopped her.

"Let them find out on their own." He said with a smirk.

And Lyla smirked right after him.

"Why are you smirking like that?" Draco asked suspiciously.

Tharion and Draco didn't like the faces the couple in front of them had. It literally spelled mischief.

"Answ-"

And then Katherine steered a little. They looked at her for a second and moved their gazes back to Blaze and Lyla. But what happened next hit them very hard. Literally.

Katherine moved to the side so quickly, she ended up slamming her head and leg in Tharion's and Draco's neighbors downstairs.

"Fuck!"

"Shit!"

The twins hissed as quietly as they could in this kind of a situation. Blaze and Lyla were barely holding in their laughs.

"A small heads-up. If Kate ends up being your mate, say goodbye to a good night's sleep because she's a brutal bedmate. Literally." Lyla said with an evil chuckle.
