okay?” he gently inquired.
She smiled up at her big warrior. She knew being as gentle as he was with her did not come naturally to him. He was more the type to bark orders, demand answers, and not give a damn about the feelings of another person. But he was trying hard for her sake, and she appreciated the fact he was putting forth the effort. “I’m fine, really. Your father took us on a quick tour through the village, then out to see Mount Armament where the dragons keep watch. It was fascinating!”
Adrian’s full-blown smile suddenly came into view, making her grin. “Hey, babe. Missed you today.” He placed a chaste kiss on the side of her mouth, before taking up position next to his brother, and grinning down at her like a fool.
King Thoran dismounted, then handed the reins for the women’s horses, as well as his own, to waiting stable hands. “It should be about suppertime. Come, everyone, I for one have worked up an appetite!”
Dinner had been a very boisterous affair, but it was over and everyone had since gone off in different directions. Evangelina had watched her friend and Zen head back outside as soon as dinner was over. The twins had brought her into what looked to be a sitting room, and now seemed at a total loss of words other than to ask if she was feeling okay every five minutes. If she had to smile sweetly and reply “yes,” one more time tonight, she might just put a fist in their faces.
Deciding to take matters into her own hands, she decided to verify some of the things Angel had told her that afternoon. “So, Angel explained to me that you believe there is one special person made just for you: your mate. She is also under the impression you two believe I am your mate. Care to explain any of that?” She gave each man a questioning look.
The brothers looked over to each other for just a moment. ' Well, brother, what and how much do we dare tell her?' Adrian asked telepathically.
' I say we go ahead and lay it all out there for her. She is going to need to know the facts anyway; she is our mate. The sooner she realizes that, the better off we will be, ' Aiden replied.
Fadri decided to chime in, ' It’s about time you two got off your asses and went after her. Just look at her. She is ready for us. And such a beautiful creature! You two need to hurry up and bond with her!'
Knowing his brother had a more diplomatic way about him, especially with words, Aiden was happy to let him take the lead on this one.
“Sweetheart, our dragon recognized you as our mate before we even met you. Last week while we were keeping tabs on Gerald, and realized he was following you, our dragon informed us that you were ours. Then the night we met you at the bar, our human half knew right then and there that you were our true mate.”
“But…how? How do you know I am your mate? How do you know it isn’t just something sexual? Something that once you scratch the itch, you won’t be interested in anymore?” She still wasn’t sure about this whole “mate” thing. She asked the question in complete seriousness, not trying to be rude or flip in any way.
“I can’t answer you as to how our dragon knew a week before we did, you will have to ask him yourself. But for us, the minute we were close enough to you, two things happened at once. The first was your scent. I am not implying you stink in any way, but when you meet your mate, their natural scent wraps around you like a warm blanket. The second thing is pure recognition on a very basic level. As soon as we looked into your eyes, it was as if two pieces of a puzzle that had been floating around inside us finally joined and locked together.”
“So this is not just sexual?”
“Oh, we find you extremely sexy, darling, don’t ever wonder about that. We have wanted to lay you down and pleasure you until you scream our names ever since we met you at the bar. But we are trying to give you time to get to know us and become more comfortable in this
