Chapter

Eleven

I wake up slowly, sleep clinging to me and drawing me back into darkness. I’m too cozy to get up, warm all over, and surely it’s not morning yet.

I reach for my blanket to draw it up to my chin, only to discover I’m not covered at all. Then how am I so warm? Blinking my eyes open, I lift my head an inch off the pillow. The first thing I notice is I’m still in my day dress. Then the memory of last night comes crashing in, and I realize why I’m so very cozy.

Morg sleeps soundly in front of me, his body curled around mine. The big orc’s hand rests on my hip, just as it did when we went to sleep. Behind me, I sense the steady, slow breaths coming from Torren. It’s his arm that’s flung over me, protecting me from the cool air. But apparently, he wasn’t satisfied just by holding me, because his hand is clenched in Morg’s tunic, holding the other orc close. They’ve both pressed up against me in the night, so we’re huddled in the middle of the bed. My hair is flung half over Morg’s chest, and I’m fairly certain some of the hair on my face is actually Torren’s.

It should have been very uncomfortable sleeping like this, squished between two large males, breathing each other’s air, but I slept incredibly well, and my head feels clear, my thoughts sharp.

Last night, they told me I wouldn’t have to choose between them. Was that because I’d bawled my eyes out and they only wanted to console me? I hope not, but I’ll have to make certain they both agreed because they want this, too. That leaves the question of how we’ll organize our lives. Will they want me to spend my nights alternating between their rooms or will we all meet up right here at the end of every day? And what does that mean for Morg’s promise to have his way with me in his bed—and Torren’s suggestion that I should decide what I want to do first?

I think I know what I want. The only issue is I might not be brave enough to say it out loud. If I tell them I want both of them to be there with me, every night, in all the ways, and they refuse… I don’t know how we’ll ever come back from that. If they’re not ready to truly share me now, they might never be. Or perhaps they’ll get used to the idea if I introduce it slowly?

I should ask the other women for advice because I’m out of my depth with this. I wouldn’t know what to do with one mate, let alone two.

A knock at the door interrupts my musing. Morg growls low in his throat, and his grip on me tightens. He pulls me toward his body, still asleep, and buries his face in my hair. At that, Torren rolls closer to me and slings his leg over mine, half trapping me under his weight.
