brought her here because I need help protecting her…and I was hoping she would find her mate.”
Todd’s bear relaxed a little. Want mate.
Yeah, I want her too.
We protect her.
“What the hell were you trying to do to each other?” Harrison walked into the room, closing the door behind him.
“Good to see you too.” Scott started to get up. “You got here quick.”
“I was just a few blocks away. Stay where you’re at.” Harrison stepped through the mess. “You wasted a lot of good pies.”
“And when you get through patching them, they are going to clean this mess they made.” Courtney walked back in, wiping her hands on a towel.
Harrison turned to look at the female. She barely came up to his shoulders. The oversized, blue sweatshirt she wore did nothing to hide her generous curves. Her short, strawberry blonde hair framed her face perfectly. The feminine scent of honey and cherries wrapped around him, causing his cock to grow. “Mine.”
Harrison’s bear sat up. Mate. It pushed against Harrison, wanting out to rub up against the beautiful woman.
“And what is your name beautiful?” Harrison grinned at her.
Courtney raised an eyebrow. She felt the heat rising in her already flushed face. “I’m not the patient. They are.” She pointed toward Scott and Todd as she ignored his question.
“They can wait. I need to make sure you weren’t hurt.” Harrison held out his hand to the beautiful woman who was his mate.
“I wasn’t in the fight. I just ended it. Take care of them so they can get this mess cleaned. I have work I have to finish.” Courtney took a step back. She looked from the paramedic to Todd. She shook her head. This was not happening. It could not be happening. Fate could not be doing this to her.
“Be careful. There is a lot of glass and water everywhere.” Harrison stepped toward her and took her hand. A jolt of warm electricity surged through him as soon as he touched her.
Courtney jerked her hand out of his.
“You felt it too.”
Scott started laughing.
“Scott, this isn’t funny.” Courtney stomped her foot. “Two of them? And twins…identical twins on top.” She shook her head. “No! I don’t need this right now. I didn’t want one mate, and now there are two of them. This is so not happening!” Courtney threw the towel onto the floor. She turned and ran out of the room. A few seconds later, a door slammed.
“That went real well.” Scott stood up. He held out a hand to Todd.
“Two mates?” Harrison looked at his twin brother.
Todd shrugged his shoulders. “Looks like we are sharing a mate….a mate who is determined not to have us.”
Harrison grinned. “I like a fema le who doesn’t chase after me, and she smells wonderful. She wants us.”
“ Courtney is probably going to fight you.” Scott grinned as he looked from one twin to the other. “If she wasn’t in danger, this would be funny.”
“Danger?” Harrison and his bear were a full attention.
“We need to talk.” Todd walked over to his twin. “Something is after our mate. We have to protect her while we seduce her.”
Chapter 4
Scott softly closed the apartment door.
Courtney stopped pacing and glared at him. “This is all, your fault.”
“How is this, my fault?” Scott raised his eyebrows.
“You brought me here.”
“Courtney, listen to yourself. This is no one’s fault. The Fates have given you two mates. This isn’t something to be upset about. It’s something to celebrate.”
Courtney shook her head. “This isn’t happening.” She started pacing again. “I don’t want this to happen.”
“It is happening, and it’s not a bad thing.”
“How can you be so calm about this?” Courtney was anything but calm. Her worse fears were coming true. She did not have just one mate to worry about. She had two. Two mates! Two men she had to worry about, because the possibilities of Jared killing them was a reality.
“Because I’m not the one who
