Their Siren

Chapter Twenty-One

Alexander

I watched as my brothers word sank in. I expected fear, maybe more anger but she barely reacted. There was just a slight widening of her eyes as it registered in her brain.

We loved her.

He had said it. I would have waited but maybe in this instance Julian was right. We needed to put it all on the table for her. As much as were able. The rules didn’t seem to be applying to us anyway so we may as well break them all. Especially if it meant keeping her safe.

I opened my mouth to speak, rising my eyes to my brother as if to mentally prepare him for what I was about to say. To give him some warning but now words left my lips.

Hannah’s mouth was suddenly there, hot and wet on mine. Kissing me with a fever I hadn’t seen from her before. One hand firm on the back of my neck the other reaching for my brother to bring him to her.

This new in charge Hannah was a surprise especially for an alpha male like me. I wasn’t used to a woman taking charge, but I wasn’t totally surprised. Hannah always seemed to shock me. Whatever was going through her mind at that moment was making her kisses desperate. Fingertips digging into the back on my neck.

“Hannah” I heard my brothers breathless voice as if from deep under water. He sounded almost strangled.

“Sssh stop talking” Then her lips were gone from mine, I watched as she kissed Julian with the same abandon, her breasts heaving under the thin t-shirt.

“Hannah, we have some things we need to explain…” I tried where my brother had failed

“Alex just stop talking. I want this! With both of you. If I am going be forced to forget you both I may as well enjoy it now”

I couldn’t argue with her logic, but I could argue with the fact she seemed to have given up on us already. if she was talking about having her memory wiped then it looked like she had decided to leave us. Had made that decision without even talking to us.

“You don’t need to have your memory wiped” I tried again.

“You could just agree to be our mate” Julian added forcing her lips away from his with his hands firm either side of her face. He was breathing just as heavily as she was. I knew the control it took for him to stop kissing her. It was the same control I needed to stop myself stealing her from where she sat, half over his lap.

I wasn’t a jealous man, not where my brother was concerned but at that moment, I was jealous that his kiss seemed to last longer than mine.

“Your mate” She threw back her head and laughed and I wanted nothing more than to wrap that long red ponytail in my fist, making her back arch as I buried myself in her from behind. The image was so vivid I could almost feel how she would tighten about me. The same way she had tightened around my fingers as she fought to control her body that night in the hot tub.

I had gone easy on her then, I wasn’t sure I could do the same again. I didn’t have that much control. Not when it came to her.

“I just caught you with another woman in your bed, I don’t think any of us should be talking about commitments” She brushed her lips down Julian’s neck and I watched as he struggled to stay in control when he wanted to take her as much as I did. “I don’t want to talk at all”

Julian tore himself away, depositing her into my lap unceremoniously as he jumped to his feet. His eyes flashed. “We didn’t have another woman in our bed Hannah”

She waved him away with another laugh.

Something seriously wasn’t right here. The Hannah I had gotten to know was spontaneous, yes. Headstrong and stubborn, most definitely but this wasn’t any of those things.

She was just acting off. I watched with wary eyes as she crawled towards me. Something other than lust in her eyes. It was a challenge for her.

I stood up. If I took her now, like this it would mean nothing. She would hate me for it. I would be the person she thought I was. “No Hannah, not like this”

I saw the flash of pain her eyes, it cut me through like a knife as she sat there and then she laughed. Loudly.

“Oh, I’m sorry, am I not good enough now you have one of your own kind here” Her voice was laced with spite, but it did nothing to hide the pain in her eyes.

She thought I was rejecting her.

“Have you been drinking Hannah” Julian came to her left side.

That made sense, if she was drunk, like real drunk not just the buzz she seemed to get after one glass of white wine, it would explain why she was acting so weird.

“I’m an adult you know I can get drunk if I want to”

Hannah

“We know you an adult”

Goddamn Alex and his stupidly beautiful face.

God damn Julian too. Another stupid beautiful face.

“Why are you drinking?” Julian had fished the vodka bottle from under my pillow, holding it out as if it was my dirty underwear.

“Why not?” I lunged for it. Taking another drink sounded like a really good idea. My head was such a mess that vodka wasn’t even making a difference. How can alcohol jumble your brain when it was already a jungle.

“I’m not good with pain, never have been and Wren said it may hurt” I couldn’t help the tears that started flowing again as I snatched the bottle out of Julian’s hand, where he had lowered it in shock at my words.

“God damn f*****g dragon” Alexander roared. His voice thundering in the small room. “I’m going to kill him for scaring you”

“You will do no such thing” I placed my hand on his chest, meaning to shove him away but freezing as his came over mine. Keeping my hand firmly over his heart.

“No one is wiping your memory Hannah, especially not that god damn dragon. You are ours”

“and we plan to keep you” Julian moved up behind me, I could feel the heat of his breath and he dipped his head to my shoulder. Sandwiching me between their two rock hard bodies.

“You two might be ok sharing, I am not” I pushed feebly as Alexanders chest, which was about as useful as shoving a marble statue.

“You will never share us, we are yours”

“I need to go home” I knew my voice was whiny. I was so tired of all of this. This not belonging. As much as I loved spending time with them it wasn’t enough.

“If you agree to be ours forever, you can go home” Julian’s voice was hopeful but I knew he realized straight away that he had made a mistake. I set my lips in a hard line, shaking my head.

“I would like to be alone now”

I didn’t, being alone was the last thing I wanted but if they stayed with me, I would agree to anything. Absolutely anything just to be with them.
