Page 93 of Their Demon

Lilly picked at her food while Keir tried to talk to her about today's meeting, and Aiden and I tried our best to make her smile. By the end of breakfast, she’d eaten half her food, spoke a few sentences to Keir, and failed to hold back three smiles.

It was progress.

“I have somewhere to be this morning,” Keir said as he stood from the table and looked at Lilly. “I will be back before the council meeting. I promise.” He gave her a small smile and nod, both of which she returned with a little less enthusiasm.

She turned to look at us when he left the room, the elevator running soon after his departure.

It was just her and us in the flat for the first time in a while.

“What can we do?” Aiden asked her. I shot him a glance, but he shrugged defensively. “What? I miss our happy girl. I hate seeing her like this. I’d quite literally do anything to make her smile—a real smile. Hell, I’d happily walk into that stuck-up council meeting without clothes on if that’s what it took.”

Lilly looked at him, her once dull eyes gaining a little sparkle. She seemed to fight an upward lift of the corner of her mouth. I silently willed my twin tokeep going.

“I could write ‘I love Lillian’ across my ass and give them a show too,” he tacked on as he wiggled his ass at her.

She was about to crack. She shook her head as she tried her hardest to keep her smile at bay, but Aiden was too good at being a goofball. She was as good as gone.

Thank Satan. I needed our girl back.

“And…” He pointed in the air dramatically. “I could write a song about how much I love you and sing it at the top of my lungs.” He pulled in a huge drag of air. “I am in love with this girl… She makes me craaaaaaaaaazy for her love…” He sang loud enough to warrant covering our ears.

“Hail Satan, Aiden. That’s too far!” I hollered at my twin.

I had to close my eyes in pain because of his screeching, but when I heard her magical laughter, I just had to see her face. She was smiling—beaming, really—and her green eyes glittered like a bright, warm day. Her cheeks turned pink, her chest bouncing as she giggled.

She kept her hands over her ears as she yelled, “You’d only accomplish causing several arrogant men to go deaf, Aiden. Don’t quit your day job.”

She kept laughing as he stalked around the table at her, pointing a single finger in her direction. “My day job is keeping you safe, fed, happy, and satisfied.” He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively as he said the last word. “I’ll never quit.”

“Luckily, she doesn’t rely on just you for that, brother,” I teased him, making him turn at me with his mouth hanging open.

Lilly’s snickers were growing louder, and the air between us was already less heavy.

“Boys, boys,” her voice broke the silence. “Don’t worry. You each bring plenty to the table.”

“I can remind you of just how much I bring to your table, little one,” Aiden said in a low voice.

She arched her brow at him. “Is that so?” She pushed her seat back and stood slowly, taking a few steps away from him as he got closer.

“Very so, and I bet Nicholas wouldn’t mind joining in on the feast either.”

I chuckled, choosing to remain a silent partner for now, enjoying watching things play out.

Her eyes darted to me as I stood from my chair. I picked up our plates and took them to the sink, and by the time I made my way back to the table, Lilly was around the other side, between me and Aiden. She was trapped.

“Why are you walking away, little one?” Aiden growled. “I promise I won’t bite…too hard.” He looked past her shoulder at me and flashed an unholy smirk.

“Shit…” Lilly muttered, though the way her body shivered told us she loved the position she was in, sandwiched between two men who wanted to bring her so much pleasure, she wouldn’t be able to think straight.

Aiden took another step, and Lilly’s retreat brought her within a couple feet of me. I could feel the tension in the room. Aiden and I hadn’t had Lilly to ourselves in days, a few days before the first trial, in fact. Keir might’ve been getting her off, but we’d been biding our time and waiting for our turn.

“I’ll run,” Lilly threatened playfully as Aiden continued to advance.

“Then run,” he challenged. “We’ve been waiting to have you again, and nothing will stop us from ravaging your body. We’ll have you begging for mercy in the same breath you moan for more.”

The thought of having Lilly after going so many days made my cock hard. It throbbed in my pants as I thought about hearing her moans, being the one responsible for them again.

She shuddered, and I waited for her next move. Just as Aiden reached out to grab her, she turned and ran past me. Aiden cackled as he patted my shoulder, both of us ready to catch our girl and blow off some steam.
