Sin and Deception (Sin and Lies #2)

Epilogue – Chapter Five

NERINE

We decided to leave for our honeymoon in the morning rather than right after the ceremony. We arranged for everyone else, Mama, my sisters, the boys, and most of the soldiers overseeing the estate, to stay at a hotel, keeping only a few on-site for the evening.

After a night filled with exquisite dining, drinks, and dancing, our guests gradually departed, loading into hired cars that took them to various luxurious hotels.

Eventually, Theo, Xander, and I found ourselves alone for the first time that evening. We were tired and a bit tipsy, the excitement of the day surrounding us like the setting sun in the distance. Standing together, we gazed over our property, our arms wrapped tightly around one another.

The warmth of their bodies and their love enveloped me, making me feel cozy and joyful in their embrace .

“That went quite well, almost flawlessly,” I remarked as we looked at the pink and blue streaks in the sky above us.

“Almost,” Theo replied, glancing back at Xander with a wink.

I withdrew from their embrace and turned to face them.

“I suspected you both were up to something. What was it?” I inquired. “Are you finally going to explain why you were late?"

They crossed their arms and shook their heads before saying in unison, “Nope.”

Frustration bubbled inside me, nearly suffocating my happiness and intensifying my irritation.

“You promised there would be no more secrets between us. I believed that vow applied to both of us."

“Relax, Angel,” Theo said, wearing an annoying smirk.

“Don’t you dare tell me to?—”

Xander silenced me with an intense and passionate kiss. His tongue slipped between my lips immediately. I pulled away, my annoyance rising, even though his mouth felt incredible.

“Don’t ask me to relax. We can’t begin our marriage with hidden truths!"

“We aren’t being dishonest," Xander reassured me. “And there won't be any secrets. Something did happen earlier that caused our delay."

“I knew it!” I exclaimed, gesturing to the bloodstain on his shirt.

“We both recognize your investigative skills, Angel,” Theo replied. “We will share everything, just not tonight. ”

“That’s why we asked you to relax,” Xander added.

“Is everything okay?”

“Yes, absolutely,” Theo confirmed.

“We have everything under control. We sincerely apologize for the delay regarding our wedding. Please forgive us.”

I smiled at them, my annoyance dissipating, and my heart warmed by their expressions.

“I forgive you,” I replied, my tone gentle and full of emotion.

They each took one of my hands and kissed the back of it, their warm lips grazing my skin at the same time, sending shivers through me.

“You are the most stunning bride I’ve ever seen,” Theo whispered.

“Yes,” Xander added, his voice low and laced with desire that reflected the shadows in his eyes. “And the most alluring.”

Heat flooded my cheeks.

“We’re married now,” I breathed, a sense of wonder swelling in my chest as the truth dawned on me.

“And we’re alone,” Theo replied.

“Alone,” I echoed, nervously biting my lip.

They looked at me with the same intensity as in my dreams, filled with a raw, savage hunger. But tonight, with the moon glimmering and the city lights sprawled below us, reflecting in their eyes, there was an added depth to their gaze.

A sense of belonging.

A sense of pride .

A sense of possession.

Both leaned in, kissing my cheek before their lips brushed against my ear.

“You belong to us," they growled in unison.

My pussy spasmed at their words. My heart lifted with a mix of love, lust, and all that lay in between.

I let out a soft moan at their words, my head tilting back slightly as my eyes closed. Together, they lowered themselves to lift me from the ground. Theo cradled my head while Xander secured my feet, my dress trailing down to the ground below.

I laughed as they carried me toward the house like a sack of heavy potatoes.

“Is this necessary?” I exclaimed.

“Carrying our bride across the threshold? Absolutely, it is,” Xander replied.

Theo reached the front door and kicked it open, both of them effortlessly lifting me inside. They continued down the hallway to our bedroom and finally set me on my feet in front of them by the bed.

I beamed up at them, overwhelmed with love.

“Our queen,” Theo murmured, pressing a gentle kiss against my neck.

"Our angel,” Xander added, kissing the opposite side.

“Oh,” I sighed, savoring the sensation of their lips. My back arched toward them, my breasts pressing against their chests.

"This evening," Theo breathed close to my ear, “we’re going to have you scream for us. "

He pressed his warm lips against my collarbone, igniting my skin.

"Exactly, darling, we will ensure you know who you belong to."

Xander’s breath was warm against my ear, his words cutting through my mind like a blade.

My knees threatened to buckle under the weight of my desire for them.

However, I realized that if I rested on the bed for a moment, they would leap at me and consume me, leaving no opportunity to wear the exquisite lingerie I had ordered from France for our wedding night. With a slow smile, I took a step away from them.

“I need to get out of this dress first,” I said.

They exchanged a glance and shrugged.

“Take your time, Angel,” Xander reassured. “We have all night.”

“Exactly,” Theo chimed in. “We need to handle something anyway.”

I regarded them with suspicion but chose not to inquire. They had promised to share everything eventually, and I trusted them. The last thing I wanted to engage with tonight was any business-related matters, and I had an uneasy feeling that I was involved here.

“We’ll be right back in fifteen minutes,” they stated before vanishing and leaving me alone in the room.

With a sigh, I turned toward my closet and began undressing. It took a bit of work, but eventually, I’d peeled off the dress and stood naked and alone in my closet, staring at myself in the mirror.

I looked at the scar on my belly that Andraius had left; it was nearly faded now. Soon, it would be gone altogether. The only remaining scars would be those buried deep within me. However, I felt sure that with the unwavering love of my men, even those would eventually disappear over time too.

Despite all the trauma I faced, everything eventually turned out well.

For me.

For Theo and Xander.

For our boys.

I couldn’t feel more thankful.

With a joyful grin, I slipped the black negligee over my bare skin. I had chosen black, rejecting the conventional white bridal nightgown. Our union wasn’t traditional, and our lovemaking wouldn’t be either.

Soft and silky, it was crafted from the finest black pongee silk and red Chantilly lace. I felt feminine and alluring in it, and I eagerly anticipated seeing the look in their eyes.

I returned to the bedroom and lit candles around the room, enhancing the dim lighting as the sun set outside the window.

I wanted to see them tonight.

I wanted to memorize every expression on their faces.

I knew we’d spend countless nights in the future, making love until the break of dawn together, hours spent passionately embracing and exploring the depths of our bodies' pleasure. And I did not doubt that those countless nights would fade to a blur eventually, just as the ones that had come before.

But tonight? Tonight was special.

I lay on the bed, waiting for my lovers to arrive.

And it was only seconds later that they did, appearing totally nude, their eyes full of hunger and love, their cocks standing at attention already.

They stopped just inside the door, their hot gazes raking over my body, adorned in lace and silk, spread out before them, waiting for them to take me and claim me as their wife, once and for all.

“My god, you look like an angel,” Xander growled as they approached me.

“Maybe the Angel of Darkness,” Theo hissed. “You’ve never looked sexier.”

They joined me on the bed, wrapping their arms around me and pulling me close. Theo kissed me, slow and longingly, the love flowing between us strong and pulsing.

He pulled away, staring down at me gently. “We’re married.”

I managed to whisper. “We made it.”

“Finally,” Xander added.

We intertwined our bodies, the three of us tangled, unsure where one ended and the other began.

This was how it had always been. The three of us united, exactly where we were meant to be.

And it would always be that way.

“I love you both,” I murmured.

“And we love you, our queen. Always and forever.”
