When The Whistle Blows

Chapter 49

Astrid

Once I finished getting my hair done, I left the bathroom and although I had only been thirty minutes, the twins appeared to be more alive than before.

Colten whistled as I walked into the room, his eyes running up me appreciatively.  I rolled my eyes at him, mostly because I was still wearing my pajamas and couldn't look that good.

I went over to my suitcase and pulled out the jeans and blouse that I was going to wear to the opening ceremonies. Though I didn't change into them yet as we still had close to three hours before we even had to get on the bus. So I instead just set them on the counter in the bathroom and went to claim my spot on the bed.

Colten had moved to the nearby couch and had split his attention between me and the TV.  When I settled down though, he was mostly focused on the TV.

Corey on the other hand was once again asleep. His deep breathing almost turning into snores as he laid on the other side of the bed, facing me.

"How are you feeling?" Colten asked, his amber eyes scanning the coloring on my face.

"Much better than I was last night," I told him. "I think the traveling just got to me and I was just so tired and sore. I'm still pretty sore, but at least I'm not dragging my feet." I sighed as my hand unconsciously rubbed at a knot in my shoulder. "I might have to request some of Luka's special touch later," I added and didn't miss the dirty smirk on Colten's face.

All the guys on the team always said that Luka has a special touch. I was too afraid to ever ask for a massage as I was sure it would lead to no good. But now, there was no hold-up.

"Oh I'm sure he would love to give you his special touch," Colten chuckled.

I glared at the twin only briefly. After all, what would I expect from a guy?

"You know after your teasing yesterday, I sure as hell wouldn't mind helping you out with any sore spots," his roaming gaze to my bare legs didn't go unnoticed, which were currently crossed like a pretzel.

"I didn't tease you," I scoffed and rolled my eyes.

"Between that fucking popsicle and your whispered words, I would have to call you a dirty fucking liar," Colten challenged me.

After a few seconds of silence, he sighed dramatically. "But if you don't want my help..." He trailed off.

"I didn't say that," I snapped quickly.

"It is whatever you want Cutie. I'm more than happy to help with whatever is ailing you."

I risked a glance at the sleeping body not too far from me. "What about-"

"Don't worry about him." Colten waved a dismissive hand at his brother as he slowly rose from his seat.

His huge hands settled on either side of my hips as he towered over me. Colten and his twin were among the tallest of my men and it was times like this that I couldn't help but feel tiny.

"What do you want Cutie?" Colten asked his face inches from mine.

"I want you to kiss me," I smile at the ginger. His answering smirk sent a chill through me as he leaned down and laid his lips against mine. His hands snatched me from the bed and switched our positions as I couldn't help but giggle.

His lips were soft and soothing against mine. He was tender with his movements and didn't rush himself - as if we had all the time in the world. His tongue was gentle and didn't force itself, instead of waited for entrance and even then still hesitant.
