Between 2 Kings

15 - Second Heat

Nearly 3 months passed uneventfully. A series of Cole picking me up for school and dropping me home. Me trying to sleep in my room but always ending up in Liam or Paxtons rooms. My grades had dropped a little, reading had stopped almost entirely and I found I was just skipping meals for sleep. Lumen hadn't spoken to me and neither king had linked with me since the edge of the football field.

I woke in the pre dawn hours, somewhere about 2am and found myself oddly nervous in Liam's bed. I wouldn't be able to get back to sleep like this. I climbed from the bed, wearing the one shirt Liam had left and made to move down to the kitchens with my Bukowski anthology. I was closing in on the third time I'd read it and it was dog-eared and bookmarked to my favourite pages.

I started making myself a hot chocolate filled with mini marshmallows and stepped into my winter boots. Trudging to the back steps and sitting with my drink and book in the wintry cold by the dimmest light of the moon.

I felt conflicted and lost and was starting to feel the distance keenly. My mind was wandering to Paxton and Liam and I was angry, I asked them to go but, never thought they'd stay so far away. I tore the book in half down the spine and growled.

'Go back to the room Lux' Paxtons voice came calling into my mind.

"No" I stated quietly but alloud "you haven't spoken to me in months" I accused.

'Please listen to me Lux' his voice pleading softly.

"You've been leaving me alone so well, why now?" I called getting louder.

'Please' his voice was begging 'Lux, please'

"No" I growled stomping back through the house shaking my head.

'Lux' Liam's voice sing-songed through link 'please? We will meet you there as soon as we can' he promised.

"Why?" I growled "and why now?" I was pacing the foyer my book and cup long forgotten.

'Because' Paxtons voice snapped at me irritated 'I can smell your delicious cunt from here!' He growled and I stiffened.

'You're mated to royals, you have shifted and this is your second unmated heat, no one will be able to stop themselves, or anyone else if they come for you this time' Liam's voice stated calmly. I turned and ran to the elevator heading back up to the suite. I should have known this feeling! Stupid little girl! I got up to the suite as fast as I could and locked myself off in Paxtons room.

After a few minutes unsure of what to do I ran a bath, a big, hot, deep bubble bath and slipped in. I knew these feelings, why didn't I recognise it? The tension in my muscles was so obvious the burning heat almost painful in my guts so clear to me now. It burned through me, as if knowing what it was intensified the heat. I began fingering myself frantically, two fingers straight in needing the relief but it was not working.

Still dripping wet I climbed from the bath rifling through the drawers to find the toys and grabbing as many as I could carry I returned to the bath.

I thought hard 'you didn't show me how to use all of this' as soon as I'd thought it towards them my phone rang and Paxtons name was on the screen.

"Baby" he purred "what do you need to know?"

I groaned "what to do, I need to know what to do" I was frazzled and waving my hands over the objects before me with my phone on loudspeaker.

"We're just under an hour away love" Liam called

I froze and looked at my phone as if it had just sprouted purple fur, stood up and walked away.

"Why are you two together? I asked quietly.

"Focus baby" Paxton called "relax as much as you can, try not to be tense, have a bath".

I flapped "I'm doing all those things" i snapped "I need to c*m"

I heard both men groan on the other end of the line "just do what you know and we'll be there soon" Liam soothed.

"To supervise" Paxton stated "and instruct"

"And maybe being around your mates will help... now that you have your wolf and know we're mated" Liam stated gently.

"Hurry" I pleaded "help me".

I lay on the cool tiled floor trying to counter the heat that seemed to be steadily growing in me. I clenched my eyes shut and made myself as small and tightly curled up as I could.

By the time they arrived I was shivering and I could hear them from the foyer. My skin prickled and every hair follicle on my body tensed and tingled, a wave of cool relief flooded through me and I moaned out loud as they burst through the doors.

Paxton looked practically ravenous "baby" he panted and I moaned in reply.

Liam picked me up gently and Paxton growled but was quickly swiped away as Liam moved me to the bed. Every cell of my skin that was in contact with his felt magical and explosive all at once.

"Princess" Liam purred gently though his face was strained "you need to make some choices" he trailed off and Paxton came out of the bathroom already completely naked and hard, panting.

"What are we allowed to do?" Paxton growled at me.

"We dont have to do anything" Liam assured me though he was sweating and tensing very obviously.

"Everything!" I screamed panting.

Liam grabbed Paxton as he lunged for the bed "no!" He yelled "Paxton," his voice quietened "she will hate you for it once the heat wears off" it was barely a whisper.

"She'll be ours by then brother, marked and mated" he stated, chest heaving.

Liam was pulling at his clothing so much that he had nearly entirely shredded his shirt and was tearing his pants though I could tell he wasn't aware he was stripping.

"P-pl-lease make me c*m" I begged.

With those words Liam tore his clothes off entirely turning on me with a purely predatory look.

"We have to leave" Liam growled through gritted teeth "brother, we can't stop ourselves" he grabbed Paxtons arm backing up towards the door "it's too much, far too strong" his voice was strained.

"Don't leave!" I yelled "please! I needed you" sobs shook me as I pleaded.

Paxtons eyes faded from black towards their usual dark honey golden shade "needed?" He asked gently.

"You left me" I cried "how could you leave?"

"You missed us?" Liam asked softly.

"We watched, Lux" Paxton cooed "the link is ironclad from our end, we see, and feel with you" he stated.

"I needed you" I sighed "but I still don't want to".

Both men stood naked and expressionless before me.

"My love-" Liam started..

"Little one" Paxtons voice softened.

"No" I stuttered out as a wave of pain crashed through me and I screamed lurching to the side to vomit.

"You can hate us later, ok?" Liam stated and they climbed into the bed with me.
