Chapter 697 Suggestion

Chapter 697  Suggestion 

Olivia and Kaizan were sitting at the dining table, eating breakfast silently. Awkwardness hung thickly in the air. Paige was sitting right beside Olivia as her mates sat opposite to her. They were glancing at her every now and then, their expressions showing that they didn't like that she was not sitting with them.

Ever since Connor and Tyler felt their pull towards her, their excitement had been radiating and was very palpable. Their wolves wouldn't stop wagging their tails for her. It was as if they wanted to shift and go to sit beside her. And if they were in their wolf forms, they would surely be drooling with their tongues hanging out of their mouths.

As Kaizan's eyes drifted from Connor to Tyler, he could see sense that Connor's enthusiasm ebbed a little because of his jealousy to share his mate. Tyler, on the other hand, was only focused on Paige. He hadn't even touched his food and was twirling his fork inside the minced lamb and vegetable pie. His eyes narrowed as he stared at her and his lips parted to let out a shaky breath.

Paige rubbed the back of her neck at the way the twins were staring at her with possessiveness. It had been two days and other than spending time with them quietly, she hadn't done anything. And they waited patiently. At one point of time, Tyler held her hand and she thought she would get electrocuted for the kind of sparks that flew between them was overwhelming. She wondered what it would be like when both of them held her hands or they made love to her. Paige couldn't help but only think dirty. She had this intense need for both of them but she was refraining herself. It was painful, but she needed time to come to terms with the fact that she liked women and the moon goddess paired her with not one, but two men.

"Why don't you take Connor and Tyler to the market square with you, Paige?" Olivia suggested. "I think you have to buy fertilizer for the grove."

Paige pursed her lips at this sudden suggestion from Olivia. Her head was lowered and she whipped it up to look at the twins as if asking silently if they also wanted the same.

"The market square would be too crowded," said Connor. "It won't be safe for her." His wolf didn't want his mate to be exposed to so many men, especially when she was not claimed.

"That's right," Tyler chimed in. "How about we go for a hunting trip in the Northern Mountains?"

Shocked at his proposition, Paige's eyes widened as pale blush rose to her cheeks. Before she could protest, Olivia said eagerly, "That is a fantastic idea! You guys can go on a hunting trip. Kaizan has a nice lodge in the midst of the forests and you can stay there too."

"Super!" Tyler said excitedly. "We can spend a week there."

"What?" Paige jerked her head back. "A week would be too much!"

"How about five days?" Connor said quietly, his hand in his lap.

"N—no," Paige countered. "That's a lot of time. I can't spend so much time away from my business. I have to buy fertilizers, new shears, baskets and harvest bins." A thin line of sweat broke on her eyebrows out of nervousness.

"We should spend at least three days," Tyler said, his voice laced with annoyance.

"It's a god-damned hunting trip," Kaizan interjected. "All you have to do is hunt a deer and come back." He looked between the two brothers. "Why do you need to stay for three fucking days?" He felt protective about his sister. "Paige will get uneasy."

Olivia kicked him beneath the table and growled in a low voice. "Stay quiet!" Her husband was such a douche sometimes. Had he forgotten his time when he took her to a cave along with Ileus and Anastasia?

Kaizan's forehead furrowed. "What?" he drawled.

Olivia addressed Tyler. "Three days should be fine. In fact, you don't have to come soon. Just take your time and relax. That hunting lodge is fully furnished. All you have to do is take some food supplies from here." A smile came to her lips. "There is a small lake on the rear of the lodge. The waters are cool with plenty of fish. You will love it!"

"I— I can go for a day," Paige murmured. "Not more than that…"

"Done!" Connor said before Paige could change her mind. "We will go there for a day only."

Tyler got up from his place immediately. "I better pack up food," he said and rushed to the kitchen.

Connor rose up. "I should pack clothes for the trip! Let us meet in fifteen minutes." He rushed upstairs.

Paige blinked her eyes as if trying to understand the eagerness of her mates as Olivia burst out laughing. Kaizan—he grunted.

Olivia couldn't help it. She started laughing hard at her husband. She was in splits when she saw that Paige was as red as a beetroot. "If you feel uncomfortable, Paige, just come back, okay?" he warned his sister. "You can come back in half a day! You don't have to go around hunting deer! We have plenty of food in our house!" His disapproval was clear in his voice.

Olivia couldn't help it. She started laughing hard at her husband. She was in splits when she saw that Paige was as red as a beetroot. Olivia gasped for breath as she clutched her stomach. Once she settled, she held Paige's hand gently and said, "They are as nervous as you are, Paige. Don't rush and don't make hasty decisions. You've already told them about your preferences, and believe me, right now they are going to grab every opportunity that will bring you closer to them. With the way they are behaving, I am sure they would act like your wives!" She chuckled. She could imagine the two spy brothers in gowns, and Paige in her tunic and breeches.

Paige bit her lip. "I am anxious…"

"I know," Olivia stroked Paige's hand with her thumb. "That's why I am saying—take your time. This is very important."

"Mother said the same…" Paige remarked.

"And she is right," Olivia agreed. "Now go up and pack your stuff."

Paige loosed a breath and got up. She walked to her brother and gave him a soft hug. "Don't worry Kaizan," she said. She silently thanked him for his protectiveness. The siblings had come a long way and she didn't have enough words on how to thank him. Both Olivia and he stood by her side at every turn. Kaizan patted her shoulder and placed a kiss on her cheek. As she walked back to her room, excitement bubbled inside her. Somehow, she started looking forward to the hunting trip. She packed her clothes for the day and her arrows with a quiver. She was sure that she wouldn't stay for more than a day. satisfied with her packing, she came out and went to the portico to order the servants to bring three mounts. However, when she reached there, to her utter surprise, she found Connor had already mounted on his horse and Tyler was holding reins of two horses. Two equines had large saddlebags hanging from the sides of their horses and a third one was waiting for her. "Gods!" she rasped. Her mates were too eager.

Tyler helped her mount the horse and instantly mounted his. "Lead us!" he said in a breathy voice.
