Chapter 4

Xander groaned as he woke up. He rubbed his eyes and yawned, before stretching his arms out.

-smack-

Xander frowned as his arm touched something warm and breathing. He used his hands to feel the strange warm breathing things and stroked something. His hand ran over a nub and he heard a groan. Xander sat up slowly in the bed and kept his eyes closed. He stroked the nib again and was rewarded with another moan. Oh this couldn't be good.

He slowly cracked open one eye. It landed on a smirking, but very hot man. Xander's hand was on his chest still playing with his nipple. Xander squeaked and jumped away nearly falling off the bed. A strong hand grabbed him and pulled him back from the edge. Fully opening his eyes Xander met an identical face.

Oh god. How could he have forgotten? Twins…

"Um hi."

"Hello." They said simultaneously. Xander whimpered.

'This is so unfair!' he groaned in his head 'they shouldn't be allowed to do things like that!'

Xander finished freaking out and took a serious pose. By serious pose I mean sitting in the middle of the bed Indian style and watching the twins with his hands folded under his chin.

"So...this isn't a dream." it was more of a statement than a question so they didn't say anything.

Xander looked from one twin to the other.

"I can get...pregnant?"

Nuri nodded.

"Huh." Xander nodded. "Okay. This is weird. What happens if I say no to this whole bonding experience?"

"Then we will leave." Kaj said. His and Nuri's expressions were carefully guarded.

"That's it? Just leave?" Xander asked. They both nodded.

Xander frowned. There was absolutely no way it could be this easy. There had to be some catch.

"What will you do after?" they stiffened and Nuri averted his eyes.

"Okay, you guys aren't telling me something big are you? What's going to happen if I say no?" Xander asked. He had a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach.

"We will greet the sun." Nuri said quietly.

Xander swallowed. This was not good. If those two said 'hello' to the sun then that meant they were going to die! Xander didn't want them to die! They were pretty nice, just kind of touchy feely. Then again that wasn't a bad thing. Xander liked the whole touchy feely thing. Naughty touches were of the good and those two were very good at naughty touching. Xander forced himself to concentrate.

"Why do you have to…greet the sun?" Xander asked using the odd phrase that they had used before.

"If you do not accept us as our lifemate then we have two options. We could either give in to our darkness and become vampires or prevent that from happening."

"Let me guess. The only way to prevent it is killing yourself." Nuri nodded.

Xander sighed.

"Then I guess I really don't have a choice do I? It's kind of sudden and very weird, but I guess I can be your lifemate." He shrugged.

Both of the twins stared at him.

"What? I'm not going to let you two die."

"Xander, we have given you a choice-"Kaj said.

"Not a very good one." Xander interrupted. "This is some sort of mystical instant connection thing right? If it is then I'm pretty sure I'm compatible with you. As corny as this sounds not many people get this kind of chance at true love. I don't love either of you right now, but you two are alright and really really hot. So yeah, I'd be a fool to turn this down."

Nuri and Kaj stared at Xander unblinkingly. It was kind of unnerving really. The twins exchanged looks and then turned back toward Xander, grins stretching their faces. Before he knew it Xander was in the lap of Kaj and getting the stuffing hugged out of him by both of the Carpathians. He laughed.

"Come on you guys let me go. I'm not done yet." Kaj released him from and Nuri sat back. Xander climbed out of his lap and faced them again.

"I have one condition though."

Kaj and Nuri frowned.

"What is it?" Kaj asked. They would give Xander anything.

Xander smiled.

"I want to be wooed first." He blushed. "No one has ever asked me out on a date or given me flowers or stuff like that. All of the relationships I had jumped straight into the naughty touching. I guess I just want a little romance…"he trailed off and his blush darkened.

Kaj smiled at Xander's very cute blush. While Nuri felt a little naughty. He grabbed Xander's hand and kissed the back of it. He smirked into his lifemate's wide eyes.

"We had already planned to."

Xander swallowed and nodded. His eyes were still locked with Nuri's. He decided that it would not be bad if he put out on the third date. Kaj moved closer and brushed Xander's cheek with his hand.

'The second date.'

Nuri began kissed his palm and each individual fingertip.

'Definitely the first date. It's not like we haven't already done any naughty touching before.' The voice in his mind babbled. Xander agreed too, the voice had some really good ideas today.

The hand on his cheek began caressing gently before moving down to cup his neck. At the same time Nuri began kissing up his arm.

'Who said we need to go on a date? They were being stupid. Screw dates let's get down to business.' Xander closed his eyes and began to revel in the sensations they were causing him. All of caresses and kisses were light, but his body begged for more. A finger brushed his lips and his mouth fell open. One of the twins, Xander wasn't sure who, began to stroke his bottom lip.

Suddenly, the hands withdrew. Xander groaned in protest and opened his eyes. His two very naughty lifemates to be were smirking at him. He scowled at them.

'Oh they are definitely evil. I am so not putting out on the first date anymore.'

AN incredibly short chapter. Sorry about the hold up.
