My Celestial Twin mates - COMPLETE

CHAPTER 23 - MOVING IN - AVERLY'S POV

Once the door closed, I turned to my sister.

''Who do you think sent the man to kill Aiden?''

''I don't know,'' Casey answered, ''But...''

''What?''

''The timing's a little strange, don't you think?'' She asked me, ''The Kings been fine all these years, and then suddenly Prince Nolan shows up and someone tries to kill him.''

''You can't accuse the Prince of murdering the King,'' I lowered my voice.

''A day ago, you were saying he should have been killed.'' Casey reminded me.

''That's different,'' I pointed out, ''He hurt you, but to actually try to have the King killed? I don't know.''

''Aiden will sort it out,'' She shrugged, ''No matter who sent the assassin.''

I nodded and looked at the robe she was wearing. ''You smell like Aiden,'' I leaned forward and smelt the material, and I looked up, Casey kissed me, and ran her fingers through my hair.

''I'm really sorry I scared you.''

''You should be, jerk.'' I said, but there was no venom in my voice, ''You have to make it up to me.''

''How?''

I thought for a second, and then smiled, ''I get to pick out your clothing every day for the next month.''

My twins eyes widened in alarm, ''One week.''

I giggled, ''Okay, one week.''

''Let's get some sleep, I'm exhausted.''

''Night.'' I closed my eyes and cuddled up to my other half, thanking the Goddess that nothing had happened to her or Aiden.

We didn't get to see Aiden the day after his murder attempt, as he was busy with the guards and council, to try and figure things out, but he sent us flowers and a note telling us we'd have lunch together tomorrow after we moved into his suite, and I excitedly finished packing with nanny, my twin and our maids, and I hardly slept that night from excitement.

My heart was racing as Casey stood beside me in our new room. It was twice the size of our old one. It had high ceilings, grand chandeliers, and tapestries that told tales of Dragons. There were two gorgeous king-sized beds, with thick cotton sheets, and matching pillows. There were two big fireplaces next to each bed, and beautiful stone flooring and exquisite walls carved with Dragons.

There was a hallway that led towards a balcony, a door to went to an equally massive bathroom, a door to a new walk-in closet that was already half filled with new dresses, shoes and jewelry, and then, down another hallway was a closed-locked door.

''Nanny, what's here?'' Casey asked as she shook the door handle.

''That's the door to the Kings suite.'' She answered, ''Now come here and start unpacking.''

''Yes, mam,'' Casey said, while I stared at the locked door. I would find that key if it was the last thing I did.

As I walked back over to Nanny who was ordering the maids around, I looked at the key-chain on her belt. The keys were clinking together, and I saw a large golden one that matched the Kings door handle. Eureka!

I began unpacking, making sure to stay close to Nanny, so I could bid my time and wait for an opening and luckily, my dear sister gave it to me. She accidentally dropped a chest, and several silks spilled out, and when Nanny bent down to help, I squatted close, pretending to help, while I carefully unhooked the key.

Casey saw what I was doing, and frowned, but didn't call me out, and continued to pick everything up. I tucked the key in the sleeve of my dress and stood up, but as I took a step, Nanny called my name and I froze. Cr*p, was I busted?

''Yes, Nanny?'' I asked casually.

''I told you to put your shoes away,'' She pointed to a pile near the door, ''Go finish.''

''Yes, Nanny,'' I repeated with a smile, and went to shoes.

Once the room was all put away, I looked around the room, and smiled, I was here. I was finally here near my mate!

''Thank you,'' Casey said kindly to the staff, before giving them each a gold coin, ''We appreciate the help.''

''Thank you, Luna!'' The girls said excitedly as they examined their gold coin, bowed and left the room.

''Okay girls,'' Nanny said as she wiped her hands on her apron, ''The King should be here soon to take you to lunch, go shower and change into one of your new dresses.''

''Yes, mam,'' Casey smiled.

''You should go rest, Nanny,'' I said as I touched her arm, ''You're not as young as you used to be, and you've had a busy morning, and we'll be alright until Aiden comes.''

''Well...'' She hesitated, as she thought things over, ''I could do with a hot bath and a nap. Alright, but don't leave until the King comes.''

''We wont, I swear.''

The second she was gone, Casey grabbed my arm, ''Why did you steal one of Nanny's keys?''

''Der, it's Aiden's bedroom key.'' I said and rushed over to the door.

''It's just a room.''

''Easy for you to say, you've already been inside,'' I complained as I inserted the key and turned it, hearing a very satisfying click.

I pulled the key out, placed it into my pocket and pushed open the door, my heart racing, as Aiden's scent swam around me.

''Are you sure about this?'' Casey whispered, her eyes wide with concern. ''He'll be mad that we went into his rooms without him.''

''We're his mates, we should be allowed in. Stop being a chicken,'' I said, my pulse quickening and I stepped inside. ''Come on, it’ll be fun! Just think about it, we'll get to explore while he's gone and uncover his secrets.''

We tiptoed inside, giggling nervously. It was exactly as Casey had described, and matched our bedroom, only bigger, and with one massive bed, with a red silk canopy around it.

I rushed over to the bed and touched the covers, ''Can you believe we'll make love to Aiden in here soon?'' I asked, but when Casey didn't respond, I turned, thinking she'd left, but I saw her standing near a wall looking at a spot on the ground and frowned, ''Is that where he died?''

She nodded, and looked at me with a sad expression.

''Cas, come here!'' I held out my hand, ''Let's do something fun.''

She came overlooking confused, ''Fun?''

I climbed up onto Aidens bed and sat up on my knees, ''Let's touch.''

''On Aidens bed?'' She gasped and looked around, as if she was worried we'd get caught. ''We can't do that. We should go back and bathe before lunch.''

''No, come here.'' I grabbed her arm and pulled her to the edge of the bed and kissed her.

Aidens scent made this so much more enjoyable, and she must have thought so too, because her arms wrapped around me, as she deepened the kiss. I reached down to pull her dress up, when, the door swung open. The King stood in the doorway, eyes wide, mouth agape.

''Sh*t.'' Casey jumped back, looking guilty, while I giggled nervously.

Time froze. I felt my stomach drop, as Aiden slowly closed his main door. ''What are you two doing?'' He asked, disbelief mixing with shock.

I opened my mouth, but no words came out. I glanced at Casey, who gave me an annoyed look.

''Uh… we were just.'' She stammered, but the King interrupted.

''Just what? Making out in my room? On my bed?'' He stepped into the room, a small smile crept onto his face. ''How did you get in here?''

''Would you believe the door was open?''

''No, I wouldn't.'' He crossed his arms, ''And I can smell the gold key in your pocket.''

I blinked in shock, ''How do you know it's a key?''

''Because I carved the key from one of my own personal gold nuggets,'' He answered and held out his hand, ''Pass it over.''

I pouted as I removed the key and put it into his hand. He tossed it up and down in his hand, while he glared at us.

''So, what should I do with the two of you as punishment for trespassing in the Kings chambers?''

''We shouldn't get punished at all,'' Casey said quickly, ''We're mates, we should be allowed in here.''

He smiled, ''Oh, really?'' He asked, titling his head as he looked over her body, ''Perhaps, with my permission, but it doesn't mean you can do anything without me.''

''We weren't doing anything,'' I lied, but he placed his hand under my chin and tilted my head up to look into my eyes.

''Her lipstick's still on your lips.''

''Would you like it on yours?'' I asked, and ran my hands down his chest.

Aiden released me, wound his arm around my waist ''I would, actually.'' He said, before he pulled Casey in and kissed her passionately.

''Hey, no fair!'' I pouted and hit him, ''Kiss me too!''

When Aiden turned back to me, he grabbed my hips, flipped me onto my back and leaned over me. My heart was racing out of my chest, even before his lips touched me, and when they did, I moaned in delight and weaved my fingers through his hair, gripping it tightly.

When I was out of breath, he turned and started kissing Casey again. Just when I thought he was giving in, and going to take us, he stood up and stepped back, breathing hard, with his eyes filled with lust.

''Both of you go shower change for lunch,'' He ordered and stepped away from us, ''And do not come back in here without my permission.''

I groaned and punched his bed, ''Why are you being so mean!?'' I complained, and he laughed in response. ''I know you want us too. You're rich, can't you just bribe whoever's meant to check us, so they'll lie and say we're virgins?''

Aiden shook his head, wrapped his arms around me and pulled me off the bed, placing me gently on my feet, and stepped away from me again.

''Go, and I will be telling Nanny you took this key,'' He warned, ''I assume she didn't give it to you.''

''Oh, no please don't.'' Casey pleaded.

''She'll punish us,'' I added, ''You would really betray your own mates so they'll be punished?''

Aiden laughed again and playfully spanked my bottom, ''Out.''

''Just wait until I'm Queen,'' I pointed at his chest, ''I will get revenge.''

''I'll be waiting.'' He winked, ''I will give you an hour, and then I want you ready to go to lunch. Don't be late.''
