Savage Mates

Chapter 29

Chapter Twenty Nine: Saved by the Bell

“Yeah, it was so strange. Like if he wanted to end things between us, that was fine. I liked him, but I

wasn’t in love with him.” I said, looking up at Ryan before my eyes flicked over to Travis. “But he called

her his mate and was all formal about rejecting me. He used my full name.”

“Your ex was a shifter, too.” Travis said, brushing a lock of hair off my forehead.

I shook my head. “No, that’s where you’re wrong. Werewolves and shifters are not real.” I leaned back

against the couch, looking between the two men.

“Baby, we‘re as real as any other creature out there.” Ryan said, his fingers toying with mine like he

couldn’t stop touching me.

“What other creatures are out there. No, don’t answer that. I’ve been drugged,” I said, shaking my

head. “I’ve been seeing things that don’t make sense and l-”

“You what, sweets?” Travis asked, biting his lower lip. The flash of the metal look in his eyebrow caught

the light and I frowned.

My face heated up and I thought about how I felt when I was dancing with them. How I had felt when

they brought me up here, the things that I had let them do to me. The things that I wanted them to keep

doing to me. So dirty, but I couldn’t get enough of it. “I’m not, I don’t do this kind of thing… Have wild

sex with two men ljust met, or you know the two men thing.’

“So you think you were drugged because you’re horny?” Travis chuckled.

“Well, yeah. I mean, I don’t do this.”

Ryan brushed his thumb over the back of my hand and I looked down at him. “It’s the mate pull. You

feel that way because you were made for us.”

“No,” I said, pulling my hands from his. His face fell and he looked like I had slapped him. My heart dropped and my eyes started to sting. They were wrong. Shifters weren’t real. Ryan and Travis had to

be confused or playing some really messed up game with me. “I’m not y’all’s mate.”

‘Tillie, yes you are.” Ryan said, shifting closer to me so that he was on his knees. I could feel the heat

coming from his body, seeping into my clothing. “Shifters search their whole lives looking for a mate

and we were lucky enough to find you here.”

Letting out a huff of air, 1 dragged my hands over my face. “Well, how do we undo it?”

“We don’t,’ Travis growled, his tone was low and sent chills up my spine. “We would go feral without

you.”

“Feral, what does that mean?” I bit my lower lip, feeling my eyes start to burn. I didn’t know if it was

because I wathat tired or if it was because I was upset. This was just supposed

to be a one night stand, not a forever kind of

thing. “It means that we would be a danger to anyone around us. Our alpha would have to put us down

to ensure the safety of our pack.” Ryan answered. He pushed himself to stand and I looked up at him.

Watching him, there was something about him that I just liked and I didn’t understand it. I felt the same

pull to both of them, even after sex. My heart felt funny at his words, the way that he said it and the

haunting look in his eyes made me worry. Like he had seen it firsthand.

“When you say put down, you mean like for a nap?”

“He means killed. The stronger our beast, the less time we have to find a mate.” Travis said and I felt a © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

chill go down my spine. I didn’t want to think about anything like that happening to either of them.

“So that means”

“That you’re stuck with us, sweets.” Travis moved closer to me, nuzzling his face into my hair. Ryan sat

down on the other side of me, taking my hand into his. As Travis started placing gentle kisses up the

side of my neck.

“Bro, give her a break. She needs some rest.”

“Can’t help it.” Travis purred into my ear. “I think my cherry girl might be my newest addiction. The way

she tastes, Saved by the Bell

the way she smells. Those sexy little sounds that she makes when she comes. Fuck, I’m getting hard

just thinking about it.”

I sucked in a shuddering breath, trying to calm my racing heart. Ryan was right that I needed rest but I

couldn’t help the stimings I felt at their touch. Ryan couldn’t help it either. I could see the outline of his

stiffening cock in his jeans.

Travis brought his hand up, pushing my hair behind my shoulder. “What do you say, sweets? Care for

another round or three?”

I opened my mouth, unsure of what to say. Could I go again? Probably not. Did I want to come again

and again for him until I fell into a boneless heap? Yes, yes, I wanted that. A shrill ringing sound filled

the air and Travis cursed under his breath.

“I guess you’re saved by the bell.” He chuckled in my ear before he stood up and moved to his desk.

Opening a drawer, he pulled out a sleek looking black cell phone. Looking at the screen before he

glanced over at Ryan. “It’s the alpha. Take care of our mate. I’ll get her something to drink.”

“That’s okay. I don’t want-” I started to say, planning to tell him that I didn’t want any more alcohol.

‘Water this time. Got to keep you hydrated for later.” He winked at me before swiping his thumb over

the screen and lifting the phone to his ear. “Hello Alpha, yeah, I’ll be down in a moment.”

Travis made his way over to the door of his office. I watched him turn the lock before opening the door.

He slipped out and I could hear the music from the dance floor.

‘You should rest.’ Ryan said and I looked over at him. He was right, but I didn’t know how I was going

to be able to rest with everything that they had just told me.

“I’m okay.” I said, but my body betrayed me and my words trailed off in a yawn.

Ryan let out a laugh, opening his arms up to me. “Come here.” He said in that commanding voice. I

moved closer to him and he wrapped an arm around me, cuddling me close to him. “Close your eyes,

baby girl. I’ll wake you in a bit.”

Closing my eyes, I rested my head against his chest. The steady beating of his heart lulled me into a

relaxed state and before I knew it, I was asleep.
