Page 43 of Their Offering

“Probably because she knows it's insane to leave her home for three random demon princes who claim her as property. No sane human would do what you’re wanting her to do, Keir. We need more time with her. Here.” Nicholas’s hands flew around as he spoke. He was getting attached to Lilly.

My twin and I had always been possessive, so when Lilly plopped her sweet little ass on our altar, I was instantly overcome with the need to claim her, and not just sexually. I know my twin felt the same way. She belonged to us now, whether she liked it or not.

“Not possible. Father would be suspicious if we asked for more time. He would know something was up. He would know we found a portal, or even worse, he might think we went through it. The luxury of time isn’t on our side.” Keir frowned, aggravated that things weren’t going according to plan.

“I still think this would be easier if you weren’t such a dick to her,” Nicholas mumbled.

“Shut the fuck up,” Keir shot back at him.

I cleared my throat to warn our brothers of the company now standing at the top of the stairs, staring at us.

Everyone was quiet, watching her while she descended. I could tell she knew something was up, but I wouldn’t dare tell her anything unlessbothbrothers were on board. I remained silent as she forced a smile.

She wouldn’t let our secrets bother her, and I admired her strength. Keir was stupid for not giving her a chance.

Maybe she was exactly what he needed.

Chapter 20

Lillian

When I woke up the next morning, I was alone. I’d never admit it out loud, but I was disappointed that the twins had abandoned me for the second morning in a row.

I huffed and threw the covers off. Once I was dressed, brushed my teeth, and tied my hair up, I went downstairs to find my companions from Hell.

All three brothers were in the living room, talking. It must’ve been another serious, secretive conversation, because none of them looked happy, and everyone was quiet, staring at me as I walked down the stairs.

I tried not to let all the secrets bother me, but it was hard. For some reason, I felt like it had to do with me. There were things they weren’t telling me, and it was going to drive me crazy.

“Good morning.” I plastered a smile on my face and sat in my favorite spot between the twins.

Keir chuckled and looked at me with amusement. There was no sign of what had transpired between us last night. That’s fine. I could play along like nothing happened. I was thequeenof pretending like things didn’t happen.

Nicholas pulled me onto his lap before I could ask what was so funny. “It’s actually twelve-thirty in the afternoon, baby.”

My head shot up, and I scanned the room until I found a clock. It really was the afternoon. “Why didn’t anyone wake me up?”

“Figured you needed the rest, especially after how my brothers used you last night.” I refused to look at Keir, but I couldn’t help the heat that flooded my face. The way he said it made me feel like some cheap slut. I also couldn’t help but feel like he sounded a little disappointed.

Had he heard us? Was that him in the hall last night? Was he jealous? Would he ever want to fuck me too? My clit throbbed at the last question. Fuck me. I already had two brothers; I didn’t need the third, especially if he was going to be so hateful.

I lifted my head to look up at Keir. I wasn’t going to let him push me around anymore. “Too bad you didn’t join us.” I winked alongside my best evil smirk. I felt Nicholas laugh silently under me.

Keir cocked an eyebrow at me, and his jaw twitched. I stared back, refusing to give him the satisfaction of making me tuck my tail and run like he had last night.

Aiden coughed. “Lilly and I will make lunch now that everyone’s up.” He stood and offered his hand.

I sunk further into Nicholas’s lap. “You don’t get to tell me what to do.” I yelped and jumped up, turning to face Nicholas. “You pinched me!” I shouted. All he did was grin.

“Just be a good girl and listen to Aiden, Lilly.” He sounded so sweet, and I wanted to be his good girl, but I couldn’t help it. I liked to push them. Maybe I wanted them tomakeme be a good girl.

“Or what?” I challenged.

Aiden’s breath tickled my neck as he spoke. “Or Nicholas and I will stuff that tight little pussy with our cocks. Both of them. At once.” He gave me a moment to let his threat sink in. “I assure you, little one, you’re not ready for that.” I pressed my lips together, even though I ached at just the thought. “Yet.”

He smacked my ass and walked into the kitchen. As enticing as both at once sounded, Aiden was right: I wasnotready for that. I could barely handle one at a time, let alone both.

As I left to follow Aiden, I snuck a glance at Keir. He glared at me, his chest heaving dramatically and his fists tightening, as if trying to keep himself calm. Did I make him that angry?
