Three Fated Hearts by LNC
Chapter 11

~Landon~

I can't be surprised that Tia asks that question; I guess I just hoped it wouldn't come. She has everyright to wonder if we have slept with her sisters. It is honestly something we should have discussedbefore we went this far, but how much longer was I expected to keep away from my mate?

I clear my throat, and Tia looks at me. “I'm sure you know how Adela is; very practical and prudent.We discussed things and decided that it would be better if we waited.” I sigh. “Truth be told, I wasstill hoping to meet my fated mate, so I had no trouble deciding to leave things at just kissing.” Tianods in response, and I let out a breath I was silently holding in. I was scared that she would beupset or not believe me. This entire situation is not the norm, and it will take a lot of sensitivity tonavigate it.

Lincoln is still silent, and I wonder what's going through his head. I'm not aware that anything hadhappened between him and Aida, but I'm not with him 24/7. “And you?” Tia doesn’t hold back, and Ilike that. I always wanted a mate that was able to take control when needed and wouldn't hesitateto put me in my place.

“I....I didn't really do anything with Aida.” I have to admit that I'm somewhat surprised. I had toconvince Lincoln to look for our fated mate, so I just figured he wouldn't turn down a woman'sadvances if it came to that. “Aida tried to do things, many......many times.” Lincoln shuts his eyes,and I catch Tia trying not to laugh. “Some days, she was relentless, but I always managed to get outof it. She......she even appeared in my bed one morning. I still don’t know how she get in. I haven'tdone anything with her, though. There was always something that held me back.”

I set my eyes on Tia, and she isn't looking as confident as she was just a minute ago. She actuallylooks a bit....guilty? “What's going with you, Tia?" She says nothing, so I sit up on my side and lookat her. Lincoln follows my actions. When Tia notices we are both waiting for her to speak, she closesher eyes and places a hand over them.

"Well?" Lincoln says, nudging her arm with his nose. Tia sighs and uncovers her eyes. She looks upto the ceiling, and I can see tears forming.

“I... didn't wait for my fated mate. I have dated a few guys and been with them,” she responds in awhisper. I'm not going to lie, but that did hurt a bit. The thought of someone else touching my matewas almost too much to take. The truth of the matter is that I never expected my mate to havewaited for me. That isn't even something fair to expect.

I watch a tear fall from the corner of her eye, and Lincoln quickly wipes it away. I kiss the corner ofher eye, and Lincoln kisses the other. “Tia, that isn't important. I mean, I will be honest and say thatthe idea of a man touching you does get to me....but I never expected my mate to have waited. I'mnot at all upset or disappointed. You are perfect just as you are.” Lincoln kisses her cheek, and I dothe same. I would never let something so trivial come between my mate and me. So she is moreexperienced. I can confidently say that I know that my brother and I are the best she has ever had.We are the best and the last.

~Tia~

Well that went a lot better than I could have hoped. I was sure that once they found out I had beenwith others, they would be upset, to say the least. They are Alpha males, and Alpha males can bevery possessive. I'm just glad that we see eye to eye on this issue.

The floor is quickly becoming uncomfortable, making me want to lay in my bed. The issue is that mybed isn't big enough for the three of us. My bed may only fit two of us semi-comfortably. These arebig guys and will take up a lot of the room. I don’t want to be the one to suggest getting a room,but that may be the best option at this point.

Before I could bring the topic up, my phone rings; I scramble to replace my pants to get my phone. Iswear I didn't notice where articles of clothing fell while we were doing what we were doing. I lookup to see Landon waving my phone in my face with a smirk. I notice he is still hanging out of hispants, making my cheeks burn. Landon laughs a bit at my response, and I turn my head, answeringmy phone.

"BEHINT S**t.__it's Lynn. I completely forgot to call her and let her know what was going on.

"Hey, Lynn. What's up?”

"Are you serious right now? What's up?? S**t! What the hell is going on with you? I've been hearingsome talk, but it's too scandalous to believe.” I look at Lincoln and Landon, who are curiouslylooking at me. I guess it would be helpful to know what's being said among the pack members inlight of what just happened.

"Uh...what...what's being said?" Lynn laughs.

"Did you reach her?” I can hear Mark in the background.

"Hey Mark! How are you?” I can hear shuffling and movement.

“Tia! Finally! We have been trying to reach you since yesterday. Your phone kept going straight tovoicemail.”

"Yeah.....it kind of died on me and today has just been crazy.”

"We were trying to replace out what's going on. The Alpha twins running off during their ceremony andyou disappearing......are the two related??” I can hear Lynn giggling in the background, making mesuspicious about what she has heard.

“Mark, we should just drive out there so we can replace out in person.” Before I can respond, Lincolntakes the phone out of my hand.

“You may not want to make that drive. Tia will be pretty busy the next few days.” I can hear a gaspon the line while I groan into my hands. Landon is chuckling at the entire situation."A..Alpha....uh...Landon or Lincoln....I...uh....I...." Lynn is a stuttering mess, and Mark is not helpingher out of things. I snatch my phone back just to watch Lincoln laugh at me.

“I'm sorry about that. I will call you back when I get a chance.” I hit the hang-up button and glare atLincoln. I can't believe he would make things so damn awkward like that. He bends down and kissesmy lips, making my frustration dissipate much to my irritation. Damn, mate bond.

"So we need to get going to get to the room I've booked.” I look at Landon like he is growing twoheads. When the hell did he have time to book a room for us? I swear he was just standing overthere, and I didn't see him get on the phone.

“You don't want to stay with us?” Lincoln looks a bit heartbroken, which causes pain in my heart.“We can always stay here.” Landon comes closer to me, offering his hand to help me up. I tentativelytake his hand but don't answer. “We can just rotate who sleeps in the bed with Tia. I volunteermyself for tonight.” Landon gives me a wink, Lincoln growls at him, and I struggle to hold in mysmile.

“Uh, 1 will just pack.....I guess. Give me a minute.” Landon and Lincoln smile from ear to ear, and Ihead off to the bedroom. I decide to have a quick shower and pack a bag. I guess my mates and Iwill be spending some one-on-one time together.
