Sexting With A Vampire
Chapter 165

Nora

Anticipation fills my chest.

Somehow I can feel the change within me, the coming of age. And it scares the living daylights out of me. What will happen now?

I like both Leo and Blake, so I'm nervous about opening my eyes, scared this might cut me off from Blake. The mere thought fills me with dread. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings! Suddenly, I'm breathing too fast, hyperventilating because I don't want to lose anyone.

"You can open your eyes, Nora," Blake whispers."

Leo snorts. "She knows that-let her take her time."

My lips twitch into an insecure smile as the two guys argue.

"I'm nervous..." I admit in a low tone.

Blake sighs. "Understandable."

"Take your time," Leo sounds calm. "We have all the time in the world, and there is no rush."

I try to relax, but the mate-bond makes my hair stand on edge.

My eyes are slowly opening.

This is it. Both my mom and Rebecca had a meeting with the moon goddess. But that doesn't seem to be the case for me. She has already decided on my mate.

Or should I say, mates?

When I open my eyes, I'm first met with Blake's curious blue gaze and the mate-bond bursting to life.

At first, I'm taken aback. An inner sadness washes over me. I worry for Leo, sad that he won't find anyone, but as I turn to the right, I see him smiling back at me as my second mate. Two mates.

I'm stunned, and Blake slowly slips me down to the ground. My legs almost give under from the shock but Leo grabs my left hand while Blake takes the right one.

"I got your back," Blake smiles.

Leo is also smiling. "Take it easy."

I glance between them and let out a deep, shuddering breath I didn't know I had been holding. "I hope you guys don't mind sharing..."

Leo and Blake exchange a glance. They don't seem that upset, and both of them shrug.

"Truthfully, I would have felt sad if Blake was left out," Leo admits.

His eyes are warm as he looks at me. s**t. His eyes are intense as he rakes me up and down. It actually makes me blush how he studies me like I'm the most beautiful person in the world.

"I feel the same way..." Blake says, and he takes a step closer. He is the tallest one and absolutely towers over me. He hands me a soft smile before looking at Leo. "But mostly because you and I were friends in the other dimension... I don't know you now." Leo smirks. "I dream about the other timeline a lot... Well, it's more than that, actually. The point is that I know you, Blake."

Blake lifts an eyebrow. "You do?"

"Umm..." I wet my lips. I'm as confused as Blake. "What exactly does that mean, Leo? Do you have visions from the other timeline or something? Memories?"

"Almost," Leo squeezes my hand and wears an expression I don't quite understand. "I'm not sure how to explain this..."

My lips turn into a thin line. "Try."

"Alright," he gives me a brief smile. "Let's just say that you can ask me almost anything about the other timeline, and I will know the answer. I remember bits and pieces." My eyes widen.

When I left the other timeline behind, I felt empty because I had lost the love of my life. I missed Leo tremendously and cried every night that I spent without him next to me. It was painful.

I thought I would never meet that version of Leo again. In my mind, the other Leo was gone forever. I had never even thought of the possibility of this Leo being able to remember things from that timeline. "How is that even possible?" I whisper.

"It must be because Leo is a powerful angel. And he loved you in the other timeline and that... That bond made this possible," Blake seems wary of my other mate and swallows thickly. "Will my life be in danger around you? I know you acted like we were friends, but... I still feel the need to ask since you're a Lightbringer."

"No, you're safe with me, Blake," Leo glances down at me, smiling. His face looks warmer somehow. "I wouldn't do anything to hurt Nora, and hurting you means hurting her. And that isn't something I want."

Why Is Leo suddenly so sweet?

Something is going on here...

I step away from Blake, feet carried by this inner suspicion growing stronger within me.

"Tell me..." I study Leo's face, and he tilts his head in response. Those green eyes watch me with vivid curiosity. It makes me smile. "You don't just remember bits and pieces... Do you?"

He shakes his head with a guilty expression. "No... I remember everything. All I needed was the mate-bond for the memories to flare to life... Every memory is back; all I needed to do was wait for you. A few years, but that's okay."

Tears prickle behind my eyelids, and my voice cracks. "You really... You really remember everything?"

He silently nods, and then we stare at each other like idiots. Leo's bottom lip is trembling, and so is mine. He lifts his arms meaningly, and that's when I can no longer hold back my emotions.

A sob breaks free as I throw my arms around him. I press my cheek against his broad chest, letting the tears fall.

"I thought I lost you," I say and hug him as tightly as I can. He smells nice. Well, he always did, but I'm noticing it more now. "Wait, is it weird that I'm like... Referring to you being different?"

"I am different, though," Leo strokes his hand over my back and then presses me back against him. He kisses my head too. "I remember both this timeline and the other one... It's kind of messed up."

"I'm glad," I glance at Blake, laughing. "Aren't you going to join the hugging session?"

Blake blinks. "I'm invited?"

I roll my eyes at him. "Dude, you're my second mate-if you think you can get away from group hugs, then you're dead wrong."

Blake hesitantly smiles, but then he freezes. "I kind of feel so bad for Erika right now..."

"She will find someone else," Leo says confidently. "Trust me, and just be happy that you're with us."

Blake narrows his eyes. "Wait, does this mean that... Does this mean we have to like... What the heck does this mean for our relationship?"

I snort and find the courage to speak freely. "It means I want AND demand to sleep with you both in the same bed."

Leo smirks at that. "Do you mean sexually or cuddling? Because I'm saying yes to both of those."

My cheeks heat up. I suddenly remember where we left off the last time, and I gulp when I feel Blake nearing us. I have a feeling he is thinking about the same thing as I am.

"I'm also saying yes to both," Blake says, smiling down at me. "I hope you're ready because it seems both of your mates accept this agreement. We both want you."
