Sinful Mates 1-3
chapter 25

Theo grabbed me, knocking my feet out from underneath me, and started running. He shiftedme slightly, forcing my legs around his hips as he took off through the forest. My scream gettingstuck in my throat, my terrified scream dying out as the trees flew past me, bile rising and pooling inmy mouth as I tried to stop myself from throwing up. I clenched my eyes shut tight, fearing that wewere going to hit a tree. If that happens, I don’t want to see coming. I could feel the blood leave myface, my stomach lurching as I dry heaved. I clung tighter to Theo pulling him as close as possible,wishing he would just stop or at least slow down. Pushing my face into his neck shielding it from thewind that was stinging my skin. Everything passing by quickly, blurring out my surroundings as heweaved in and out of the trees. I could feel the long grass from the paddocks whipping my barefeet, which were already killing from running through the forest.

We must have been running for only a few minutes before he slowed. Skidding along the grasson his feet before stopping. I was frozen in place, my muscles so tense and locked up, I couldn“tmove. Theo ran his hand down my back making me lift my head from his shoulder. We were back atthe stone farmhouse. It took me hours running in that forest to get to where I was and only tookhim a few minutes to run back. Unlocking my arms from around his neck, I leant back, my legs stilltightly wrapped around his waist. Theo moved his hands under my ass holding me in place. I waspositive if he put me on my feet right now, my legs would collapse under me.

“You're alright, Imogen?” His eyes holding mine, the thick fog clouding my mind again. Whydoes his presence always make me clouded? “You're safe with us, understand?” I felt this calmingsensation roll over my body in waves, fear leaving as his words floated in my head on repeat. I'msafe with them, they won't hurt me. Theo smiled. As his face moved closer, his lips pressing softlyagainst mine. Cold but demanding. I moaned when his tongue brushed mine. I was lost trapped inthe feel of his tongue playing with mine, my thoughts fogging over as I could feel myself slipping,my mind going completely blank threatening to be lost in the feel of his touch as he pulled mecloser drawing me in. In this moment I would have forgotten my own name.

Tobias cleared his throat loudly behind me, having finally caught up. Theo placed me on theground, but his hands remaining on my shoulders. He pushed me towards Tobias. As soon as hishands left my shoulders, the fog lifted. My memory snapping back into place like a rubber band.Panic seizing my body as I remember they were both monsters, dangerous lethal monsters. I stepback, but if they were going to kill me wouldn't they have done it when they found me? Why bringme back unless they want to kill me slowly?

“You are safe, Imogen. No one wants to hurt you.” Lies. I heard them speaking. I know whatthey want to do. I know too much, saw a side of them I can't unsee. One I will never forget. I know itis only a matter of time before they kill me slowly and painfully, but why haven't they done it yet?My mind buzzing, trying to think of what would happen next. I hate anxiety. It always makes youoverthink every little thing, but this was a big thing and my mind was in overdrive, fighting withitself with what I know and what I feel. Trying to replace a way out even though the rational part of mybrain already knew there was no way out of this.

“Calm down, Imogen. I can hear your heart pounding, practically see your thoughts runningthrough that head of yours,” Tobias said trying to move closer, his hand outstretched. I looked at hishand wondering if I should take it or not.

“Nothing has changed, Imogen; we are still the same people.” Theo stepped forward behindTobias, placing his hand on his shoulder.

“You're monsters! you shouldn't exist.” My voice is soft as I tried to think of a way out of thisfucked up situation. “I want to go home, please take me home. I won't tell I promise.” Theo's eyessoftened.

“We can't let you go home, Imogen,” Tobias said. My heart started racing, pounding, and I feltlike my throat had closed up as I tried to breathe, hyperventilating as I realised, they really weregoing to kill me. My legs gave out from under me as I felt myself slipping into darkness, fighting forair as I choked on my own inability to control my emotions. I didn't want to pass out, I willed myselfto stay conscious, but it was inevitable, my body collapsing in on itself as darkness takes over thelast thing, I hear is Theo's voice.

“And she is out again, I told you she would now pay up.”

Waking up, I roll over. My body touches something cold and I sit upright, a light flicking on inmy brain, registering the fact I passed out because my stupid body is having a meltdown. Maybe mybrain is fried, and I have imagined everything. I know that cannot be true though, when I open myeyes and the cold thing that touched me was actually Theo's arm as he turns the page of the bookhe is reading.

“How are you feeling?” he asks, his eyes not leaving his book. I don't speak, I just watch himfascinated by how fast his eyes scan the page before he flicks to the next one. He hardly seemsdangerous, he looks like a normal man, only I know that he is not. He is dark and sinister yet lookingat him, he hasn't changed. He is still his flirty bubbly self.

Theo put the book down and rolled to his side, laying down so he was eye level with me.

“You seem better, not as scared. Your heart isn't pounding, and I can't smell your fear,” hewhispers while brushing hair behind my ear. His cool fingers brushing against my cheek softly. I feelthe calming fog enter my mind slowly creeping in. I have figured out it is from Theo.

“Please don't" I tell him.

He looks confused. “Don’t what?" I feel it slowly washing over my body relaxing every muscle.

“Whatever is your doing to me, making everything foggy.” He understands and the fog lifts. Ifeel my body become my own again. “Are you going to kill me?” I ask. The words of whoever thosepeople were talking are running through my head on repeat.

“We will never hurt you, Imogen, I promise. Well, not in that sense,” he says a sly smile creepingonto his face. But I believe him.

“Where is Tobias?"

“He is asleep behind you.” His eyes look over my shoulder, turning slightly my own eyesfollowing to see Tobias fast asleep and lightly snoring. I half roll onto my back and I can feel theheat of his body seeping into me as I lean on him, chasing his warmth.

“Don’t worry about him. He looks scary but he's a big softy, you'll see. Besides you're the onlyperson ever to try feed him dog food and he let you live.” Theo laughed, making the bed vibrate. Ilaughed too, remembering feeding the stray, then it clicked.

“That was Tobias?" I laughed, only just realising I tried to feed my boss dog food and I smackedhim on the nose. Theo laughed again nodding his head. The movement making Tobias roll and hethrew his arm over me, pulling me in. I froze before realising he was still asleep and then relaxed.

“What does mate mean? Obviously it doesn't mean friend.”

“No, it doesn't. Just think of it as soul mates. Be easier to wrap your head around.”

“So, you're saying I'm Tobias's soulmate?” I asked.

“Yes, but not just his, you're mine too.” My eyebrows furrowed, trying to understand. How couldsomeone know who their soulmate was, and how could someone have two? Looking back at Theo,he was watching me carefully. “You still don’t understand.” It wasn't a question.

“She will soon enough,” Tobias spoke, his lips against my shoulder. I look over my shoulder athim, his blue eyes looking back at me. My heart rate is increasing. I saw him as a monster, all teethand claws. He pulled me tighter against his body. I looked at Theo, but he just watched. Tobias'smouth moving to the mark on my neck, kissing it softly before sucking on it. My eyes rolled into theback of my head, a moan escaping my lips as pleasure flooded all my senses. I could feel my pantiesbecoming soaked as I leant back into Tobias, loving the feel of his hot tongue playing with my flesh.Theo's face moved closer, his lips pressing softly to mine, before deepening the kiss and swallowingmy moans as his hand went under the blanket and started unbuttoning my blouse.

I was lost in the feel of their hands and lips on my skin. Theo pulled me to him, kissing medeeply while Tobias removed my blouse from my shoulders and unclipped my bra. He kissed myshoulder as he slid the straps down my arms before dropping it on the floor. Tobias pulled me backdown and Theo tore my skirt, ripping it completely from my body so I was now pressed betweenthem with only my panties on. I could feel Tobias erection pressing into my back as he fondled mybreasts. Theo got off the bed and stood up, pulling his shirt off over his head, revealing his barechest and tight abs, his jeans hanging low on his hips showing his deep V line disappearing into hispants.

Tobias sat up, pulling me between his legs, making me lean back into him. I watched as Theowalked towards the end of the bed. My heart skipped a beat as he leant over, not taking his eyesfrom mine, and pulled my panties down my legs before crawling up the bed towards me. I pressedmy knees together, closing my legs, feeling very exposed under the dim lighting.

“Relax, we won't hurt you,” Tobias whispered in my ear before sucking on my neck, hitting thatsweet spot where he bit me. My body instantly relaxed as pleasure rippled through me. I feel Tobiasfeet go under my legs before he lifts his knees, pulling my legs apart as they are now draped overhis. My eyes snap back open and Theo's face is between my legs. I try to close my legs, but Tobiasforces them back apart. Theo kisses my inner thigh sucking on it, his teeth teasing as they graze myflesh. My head rolls back onto Tobias’s shoulder and my eyes flutter closed. ANNAN AANANAA
