I decided to give this whole polyandry mate thing a chance.
My stomach rumbles, totally killing the moment, and Audun pulls away again with a quiet chuckle. He turns around and opens the front door, gesturing for me to go inside first. I stomp my feet a few times on the porch, attempting to shake most of the snow from my borrowed boots, and step inside with another smile directed at Audun.
It's so much warmer inside the cabin, and my eyes scan the front room curiously. I’m still nervous, but now that I’m not having a total meltdown, I’m able to focus a little more and take in the atmosphere. There are clothes and blankets scattered all over the living room floor, and it hardcore smells like sex in here. If I can smell it, then the guys definitely can, and my face warms up at the thought of everything we did together last night.
Caelan calls out to us across the room, and I look up to see him standing by the stove in the kitchen. Audun answers him, places his hand on my lower back, and gently pushes me through the house. When we pass by the hallway, I turn my head away and force myself not to look at the mess spilling from the guys’ bedrooms. I am so not ready to deal with that yet.
Once we reach the kitchen, Caelan turns around to face us. He looks sad and nervous as his eyes sweep over me, and the butterflies go crazy in my stomach again. He’s wearing sweatpants low on his hips, and he’s not wearing a shirt. His yummy abs are on full display and he looks so damn good. I’m stuck between staring at him lustfully while thinking about last night, and feeling so freaking anxious about my brand new relationship with him and wondering how I’m supposed to act.
Audun mumbles something and rubs my shoulders lightly as he kisses the top of my head. Caelan doesn’t spare him a glance, keeping his eyes on me instead, and his entire face lights up at Audun’s words.
“Krásná dívka,” Caelan says. He steps forward and cups my face between his hands, leans down, and kisses me passionately.
“Oh,” I gasp when he pulls away. I bring my fingers to my lips and stare up at him dazedly, and a nervous giggle escapes my throat. He’s a crazy good kisser, and he’s just so fucking hot. Guys who look like him back home would usually act aloof and uninterested after hooking up. But he’s being so affectionate and giving me his full attention, and it’s honestly kind of intoxicating.
Caelan keeps his hands on my face, and he softly strokes his thumbs over my cheeks as he smiles down at me and says something in his language. I desperately wish I could understand, and I feel like an idiot as I stare at him cluelessly. When my stomach growls again, his grin widens and his nose scrunches up adorably.
A delicious scent hits my nose, and I realize Caelan is in the middle of cooking breakfast. I smile at him thankfully as Audun leads me over to the dining room table and pulls a chair out for me to sit. Instead of sitting down with me, Audun begins picking up the blankets on the floor of the living room. I go to get up so I can help him, but he moves crazy fast like Reule’s done in front of me a few times, and he puts his hands on my shoulders to keep me in my seat.
“Zůstaň,” Audun says quietly. I purse my lips at him, but he just gives me a crooked smile before leaving me at the table while he cleans up the mess by himself.
I feel a little guilty sitting down while the guys cook and clean, but it’s also really nice to be spoiled. I wonder if they’re just as nervous as I am. They seem happy, and that makes me feel better about everything. I stroke the mate rune on my wrist absentmindedly while my gaze travels back and forth between the two of them.
Eventually, Caelan calls Audun back into the kitchen. They carry several dishes over to the table and set them in front of me. Everything looks and smells delicious. My eyes practically bug out of my skull as I take in the mouth-watering sight of pastries, fruit, eggs, something that looks like bacon, and a tall stack of pancakes. I’ve been super relieved
