Page 52 of Mated By Twilight

The queen was a role that did almost nothing throughout the play. However, she was there for the entire thing. Always floating in the background, or above the actors. A constant reminder of what was at stake and what the fight was over. As such, her role was only visual. So, she had to look good. Besides, she was a queen, she must look the part.

Queenly looked fantastic on Leah. The dress was icy blue, flowing over and molding to her torso without a single line or crease until it billowed out into a long gown. It sparkled, shining without obvious glitter or stones, making her appear crystalline and ethereal – otherworldly, like his ghost costume but better. Her shoulders and collarbones were bare thanks to the sparkly, lacy, off shoulder straps that created a single band of color across her bust. The soft skin of her breasts was straining at the top, nearly overflowing the hem. The sight of which made his mouth water with the urge to lap at that soft skin.

It wasn’t until she crossed her arms, covering her breasts, that he realized the very thing he was drooling over was the problem.

Nothing she owned – that she brought with her anyway – was that low cut or tight. It was the most revealing thing she’d worn in front of them, and she was clearly uncomfortable in it. Sollit couldn’t bring his achingly hard cock back under control, but he could force his eyes up and back onto her brightly blushing face.

“Ugh,” Shorvi made a face, approaching her. He grabbed her by the wrists and yanked-

-only to have his own wrists grabbed and jerked back. Sollit and Tillos – both holding onto an arm each – snarled at him for daring to touch her. For daring to expose her when it was already obvious she was not okay in what she was wearing.

Shorvi wasn’t impressed by their protective display, giving them both an annoyed look.

“I can’t fix it if I can’t see it,” he told them dull and uninterested. “It’s not my fault your mate is so ridiculously proportioned. Biggest tits I’ve ever seen.”

Leah squeaked. Sollit and Tillos pushed Shorvi back further, angered by his assessment.

“You don’t look at our mate,” Sollit snapped.

“You don’ttouchour mate,” Tillos snarled.

“Guys!” Leah reached out for both of them, putting hands on their backs. “It’s okay. I’m okay, really. He… He’s not wrong.”

“Doesn’t make him right,” Tillos countered, still not letting him go.

“Do you want me to fix the bust or not?” Shorvi returned, still not intimidated. His arrogance really made him think he was untouchable, and it was infuriating.

Neither Sollit nor Tillos moved. Their grip tightened. The fierce protectiveness over this female that would be their mate burning hot in their chests. She was gorgeous, even if the bust was too tight, but if she didn’t want Shorvi touching her, he would not be allowed to.

“Guys, it’s fine,” she assured them again. “H-He can fix it. I want him to.”

They both glared at him. Silently warning the little male about upsetting her further. Or touching her any more than necessary.

At the same time, they released him and stepped back. Not far. They remained right beside Leah, watching him carefully as he approached.

Which he did without a single care for them. He grabbed and pulled at shoulders, then had her turn so he could release the seal. Which made her squeak as she quickly grabbed for it before the dress could fall off her.

Sollit and Tillos made their displeasure known, creating a low, sonorous growl deep in their chests, but they didn’t try to stop him as his combot made some notes and he fixed some other, minor spots in how the dress was lying on her.

“There. It’s fine. Take it off,” he ordered, stepping away.

Leah didn’t move. It was like she was frozen in place, her body kind of slumping forward.

It wasn’t until Tillos stopped his purr that Sollit realized what they were doing. He stopped as well, and Leah started in surprise before looking around. She blinked then walked forward, still holding the loose dress to her chest, back into the dressing room.

As the door shut behind her, Tillos looked at him. “It’s effecting her already.”

Sollit grinned. “I thought we had to be mated first.”

“I think it’s proof that Leah has already bonded to us. Humans bond by sight, after all.”

Sollit smirked, satisfaction rushing through him, looking at the door she’d disappeared behind.
