Entranced, chapter 3

Father and Mrs Zambini apperated away shortly after the agreement, leaving Draco, Blaise and I alone with Lucius, who I now knew as Mr Malfoy... Meaning Draco was a Malfoy too and this was his home.
"Wait here while I organise a room for you..." Mr Malfoy said with a sneer, leaving the room and leaving us alone, truly alone together for the first time.
I didn't know what to do first as I looked at the boys, my boys, and smiled as Blaise tugged on my hand to pull me down onto his lap.
"So... Your name is Arellia." He said as he brushed a hand over my shoulder, moving my hair off of it, lingering his fingers on my bare skin. It took me a moment to realise I was still in my dress.
I nodded, feeling my hand rush to meet his.
"And you're Blaise... And Draco." I said as Draco leaned forward to take my free hand in my lap.
"This is so strange..." He muttered, tracing his fingers on the back of my hand in circles as he held it.
I gently took his hand and turned it palm up to see his little triangle that filled me with a deep satisfied glee that I was slowly becoming aware was caused by instinct and not me.
But the need to hold him felt real, felt like me, yet my memories betrayed that feeling.
I was a Ravenclaw and never allowed my studies to be distracted by the bickering between Griffendor and Slytherin or the gossiping.
I'd of course heard of Malfoy but never expected the young man in front of me that I suddenly craved.
Never expected to bump into him and need him like this...
I took Blaises hand and looked at his mark too. I thought I could recall seeing him in the library once or twice, but always from a distance, never this close and never long enough to see his beauty.
His cool demeanour settled me and I was sure that part was me and not this triad, it felt toned down and casual, not the same burning need that coursed though me to touch them both, to hold them and kiss them... Oh fuck...
I stumbled to my feet and stepped away from Blaises lap, earning concerned frowns from them both.
My fingers ran through my styled wavy hair as I paced, trying to get that voice out off my head. It's what it wanted. To seal the triad indefinitely with a kiss to each of them... I wanted to do it so badly, just a soft chaste touch of the lips to quell my deep curiosity.
But that wasn't right, it wasn't a good idea right now, I was being manipulated and I tried as hard as I could to recognise it.
I liked these boys and desperately wanted to know them and like them more... But as me. And they as them.
"Arellia? What's wrong?" Draco stood, taking two strides towards me and ceasing my paces with a grip on my shoulders.
Blaise immediately stood and moved to my side to hold my arm comfortingly, rubbing his thumb up and down my bicep.
I shook my head and placed my hands crossed at my mouth before softly asking,
"Tell me everything you felt. When we matched. Tell me every detail." It took so much effort to avoid their arms as I moved away to awkwardly sit on Mr Malfoys desk.
They shared a look of hurt before Blaise cleared his throat.
"I don't know... I just could feel that you were the one. Everyone else in the room disappeared and you kept me tethered to the earth. You still do. Even now I'm floating safely because you're within my sight. Within my touch."
I sighed and held back an incredible urge to lunge at him and kiss him. I would need to learn to control that very fucking quickly...
My eyes changed to Draco and he shrugged.
"The same... But you made me feel like I was drowning... Right before I was going to loose air, you looked at me and I could feel my lungs fill. They ached when I couldn't see you when I woke up. I couldn't breathe."
I nodded, trying to word my next sentence carefully.
"I want to get to know you both, I really do... But we need to try pick apart what is magical and what is real... We need to be careful while we make sure we want this..." Draco frowned.
"Why wouldn't I want this? I knew this day was coming, if I've matched with you then that's it. I don't care I have to share you. You were chosen for me. You were chosen for Blaise. I'm just overjoyed I feel the way I do and not angry or disappointed."
My chest twisted at his words and I looked down at my knees to gather my strength to not go over and hold him. My every instinct was telling me to. My adrenaline pumped in my veins to force me to move or remain uncomfortable.
My head was clearing slowly and although it would be hard to resist, I could tell what was my impulses and what was not. And this was half me, half the triad.
I wanted to comfort him, that's true, but my instincts told me to do so much more, to kiss his face all over and run my fingers through his silky platinum hair and nibble on his lower lip.
"Alright, so we would be in this situation no matter what but... Can the two of you clearly say that you would be happy in this arrangement? Really think about this... You'd be sharing a wife until we died. Could you happily do that?"
I felt proud as they paused and seemed to think it through, maybe their senses were starting to tell what was true and what was artificial now...
It was an odd feeling, like sobering up but it felt good to feel in control again, if only for a little bit.
Draco and Blaise looked at each other, regarding each other carefully and it took a long time before Blaise nodded.
"Accidental or not, I trust I was meant to pair with you Arellia. Sharing you with my closest friend is a sacrifice I'm willing to make."
I tried to ignore the happy swell of my heart as I looked to Draco for his answer.
"I've been an only child all my life. I've never had to share or do anything I haven't wanted to do. But I agree with Blaise. I knew and accepted I was going to find my future wife tonight. And I did. If I am to share her with my closest friend then I can do that much in order to respect the matching. You're right Arellia, we don't know you. But we like you very much already. Triad magic or not. I can tell my own feelings apart..." He stepped closer to take my hands in his.
"What crime is it that I enjoy this with and without the Triad magic?" I felt myself melt as his touch and words, the line between magical and my own feelings blurring heavily once more and I leaned forward to bury my face in his neck, tired of fighting.
I stuck my hand out and peered over Draco's shoulder to invite Blaise who quickly grabbed it and joined us, sitting beside me on the desk and wrapping an arm around my waist.
This wouldn't last forever, I reminded myself harshly... But I hoped it would.
I never imagined my pairing ending up this way but I trusted myself to be careful and enjoy these moments a little at a time.
At least for a month.

To make things easier, we all had separate rooms, clustered together in the same hallway, but with walls between us.
My father had out a few trunks in my room already and said his goodbye for the night and now I was left alone, still in my ball gown.
I picked up my wand to magically undo the corset lacing and the idea of drifting across the hall to the boys to ask them to take it off instead popped eagerly into my head.
I managed to regain control at the door handle, slapping my own hand away and settling for the wands help.
I ran a hot bubbly bath for myself and finished stripping off the layers of undergarments to slip into the soothing water.
I scrunched my hair into a bun and let my hands drop beneath the bubbles, finding them resting on my thighs, dancing around on the skin there and gently skirting upwards.
A deep need to take care of myself hit me hard and I was taken back by it.
I hadn't been one to touch myself normally and I guessed it was the work of the Triad magic... But I was alone?
The urge hit me again and I bit my lower lip.
"Stop this..." I whined, grasping at the edges of the tub, the temptation to soothe the burning between my legs growing fiercer and fiercer.
I closed my eyes tighter and I could swear I heard... Moaning?
It was a male voice and it purred out my name, causing my face to flush as I listened closer.
A second voice joined in and I opened my mouth in shock as I recognised them.
Draco and Blaise were moaning in my mind and calling my name...
I had no control of my hand as it dipped between my thighs and slid a finger up my entrance to my clit, slowly circling and causing me to moan softly.
"A-ah fuck...!" Dracos voice shuddered and I opened my eyes and stopped my hand, looking around in panic.
He had sounded so clear, I could have sworn he was in the room with me...
The nagging need at my entrance quickly made me shrug it off and I chewed on my lower lip and I traced my clit again before dipping two fingers inside.
"O-oh, yeah..." Blaises voice was now clear in my ear and after briefly opening my eyes I ignored it as my imagination and quickly brought myself close to cumming already. Something was urging my body on, a desperate need, a want, a desire.
"Arellia... Oh fuck, Arellia..."
"Yes, Arellia... Fuck..."
They cooed out before I could hear their loud moans in sync with mine as I came hard and unexpectedly around my fingers.
As my breathing evened out, their voices slowly disappeared from my mind.
What the hell was that?
Why could I hear them so damn clearly? Like we were all in the same room getting off together...
A small part of me suspected that maybe they did but I didn't want to know. If anything, this was the Triad magic and I wanted to tune out as much of it as possible, not let it control me and make me cum...
I tore myself from the bathtub and wrapped myself in a towel to get ready for bed, resolving to not fall for it again and to have better control.
I couldn't let it make me make a mistake... Not before the boys and I were clear headed and sure. Not until I knew them...
Sleep did not come easy that night as my head buzzed. My hand instinctively reached out for bodies I knew weren't there and it ached my chest.
I stared longingly at the door, fighting off the need to run across the hall and drag them both into the same bed so I could sleep soundly knowing they were close and touching me...
I rolled over to face away from the door and curled up tight to try force my mind to go blank already...
A minute or two passed by in silence with my breathing slow, but my mind still awake and causing my body to fidget annoyingly.
On the third or so minute in to my second attempt at sleep, I heard a faint knock and the door opened.
I kept myself still and closed my eyes listening out intensely.
"She wouldn't want us to..." I heard Blaise whisper, his light footfalls coming closer as the door closed.
"I can't sleep though... Just knowing she's across the hall and would help me sleep was too much." I heard Draco sigh behind him and felt the bed dip as one slid under the covers behind me, but didn't touch me.
The other, I assume was Draco, lifted the covers in front of me and settled down.
I had assumed my instincts wrong when their mere presence woke me more than lulled me to comforted sleep, but as Blaise laid a tentative hand on my waist and drew closer, my mind immediately began to switch off and slow down.
Draco followed suit and gently touched my face, scooting towards me so I could feel his slow breathing on my forehead.
Shyly, I reached out and pushed Draco's shoulder to lie him on his back, which made him jump at first, but almost purr as I laid my head on his chest, holding Blaises hand around my waist and pulling him to spoon me while I cuddled Draco.
The feeling that enveloped me was nice, soothing and most importantly, tame. It didn't make me want to grab them and kiss them or touch them any more than I already was. I was satisfied and sleepy.
I could let this slip. I could allow this while my head sorted itself out. I would allow myself to enjoy this...
I felt Blaise place a soft kiss between my shoulder blades at the exact same time that Draco pressed his lips to my forehead sweetly.
My tired eyes fluttered open for a moment but closed again before sleep could stop me from overthinking...
