Chapter 698  Can I Kiss You?

Paige nudged the side of her horse and it started moving. Soon, the three of them were out of the estate, heading towards the Northern Mountains where a hunting lodge awaited them.

It took them half a day to reach there and by that time, they had stopped twice for eating and then giving rest to the horses along a brook. Tyler opened his saddlebag and pulled out food that was tied in a piece of cloth. He opened it to reveal cheese and bacon sandwiches. He offered them to Paige with a smile. Her lips curled up as her cheeks flushed.

"Thank you," she said shyly.

"You are welcome," he replied in a breathy voice when she picked up one and accidently brushed her fingers on his wrist.

Connor's jealousy went a notch higher. He, too, picked up a sandwich from Tyler and started nibbling it. They ate the sandwiches in silence, as they heard the horses whuffling in the water. At the end of it, Connor offered Paige to sit on his mount, but she refused, feeling extremely awkward.

The hunting lodge was built in a clearing in a well-treed valley. It was strategically sheltered from the cold winds. Paige dismounted and led the horse to the back where she tied them to the poles with long ropes. Connor and Tyler followed her. They took their saddlebags out and returned to the main front door. Tyler opened the door, allowing the sunshine to cascade into the room. He entered a room that seemed like a common room. There was a door on the right, one on the left and one directly in front of them which led to a portico. This room was furnished with a modest couch, a rug and a table in the center.

As Paige walked in, she said, "I am not staying here for more than a day."

Neither of the brothers said a word. In truth, they were not happy that she didn't want to spend her time alone with them. And this was a perfect opportunity for them to tell her just how much they craved for her. Didn't she crave for them? Their perfect little mate?

"Where's the lake?" asked Connor as he took out his tunic, baring his ripped and chiseled torso.

Paige turned to look at him to point out the direction where the lake was and gasped. Her eyes landed on his thick neck and broad shoulders. Something inside her tingled. Connor was a so handsome. The trail of hair on his chest narrowed down to the navel and disappeared inside his breeches. Paige found herself clenching the sides of her breeches as she followed the dusty trail of hair. The attraction was crazy much already and now it had multiplied ten times over. Lust hit her like a strong wave in the ocean.

"Where's the kitchen?" asked Tyler, looking in all directions.

Tyler's question brought her out of her reverie. "It's on the right," she pointed to Tyler. "On the left is the bedroom." She was so dazed by Connor's intoxicating scent and body that she forgot to answer his question and hurried inside the bedroom. She heard footsteps shuffling and knew that Tyler must have gone to the kitchen to look around. From all the previous conversations, she had come to know that he was a great cook.

As soon as she opened the door of the bedroom and entered, she closed it, but was stopped. When she turned around to see what stopped her from closing, she bumped into Connor's chest. He curled his arm around her waist before she could stumble. Paige braced her hands over his biceps and felt how they rippled under her touch. She lifted her eyelashes to look at him and met with his heated gaze. "I—I am sorry," she said.

Connor's lips curled up. "What for?" he asked as he drank her features. She was so beautiful.

She loved the way his arm had coiled around her waist. A shudder passed through her body. "The— the lake is not very far. It's just a five-minutes' walk from here," she replied, her voice becoming breathy. "You wouldn't need your horses to go there," she added as she reveled in his touch.

"Would you like to come for a swim with me?" he asked in a husky voice that carried a doubt.

Paige was so sweaty after the journey that she really needed a bath. Though there was a shower in the bedroom, she found herself nodding. Connor's lips curled up once again. He released her and when she stepped back, she was surprised that she missed his touch. It was so addictive that she thought if he didn't touch her again, she would stop breathing. Her body was as tight as a bowstring. After placing the saddlebag on the side, she walked to sit on the bed. It was a large bed that sat against a window. Flanked by bedside tables that had two oil lamps on either side, it was covered with a white sheet.

heel.

"We are going to the lake," Connor said loudly to inform Tyler.

Paige opened her boots and looked up at him with her face flushed hot. "Let's go!" She got up and walked past him towards the portico, feeling a thousand shades of shy, flustered, lusty and then some more. She heard Connor chuckle at her as he followed her on the heel.

"We are going to the lake," Connor said loudly to inform Tyler.

"Okay! I will be there soon," his reply came instantly.

Paige walked as fast as she could.

"How far out are we going?" Connor asked after a few minutes.

"Not far," she responded.

"Are we nearly there?" Connor asked, barely silent for the count of ten.

She stifled a chuckle. "Yes," she said as she removed a vine from her way. And when they walked there, Connor gasped audibly. The lake was small, but it had calm waters the surface of which rippled with every gush of air that touched it. It was so clean that he could see the fish activity inside. A flock of ducks quacked at them as if scolding them for intrusion and then waded away. The perimeter of the lake was lined with trees whose vines hung low enough to kiss the surface. Paige was admiring the view when she heard a splash beside her. "Ouch!" She giggled when water sprinkled all over her and she shielded her face. Her eyes went on the only breeches that he was wearing and which were now lying on the soft grass.

"Come in!" he shouted when she emerged a few feet away from her.

Paige saw the water sluicing down his arms and neck and head when he smoothed his hair back. Gods above! He was so sexy. "Turn away," she said in a low voice.

He laughed and then turned away. Paige took out her tunic and her breeches and gently stepped in the water. When she was immersed in the water till her breasts, she said, "Now you can look."

Connor turned to face and he rooted to the spot. The way her neck curved into her shoulders, his cock became hard. His fangs descended seeing her pulse point where he wanted to sink his fangs in. All at once, Paige dipped inside the water. "Fuck!" he said, feeling worried. She emerged behind him and he spun around.

Immediately, she pushed away from him and said, "Let's swim." Saying that she swung and started swimming.

Connor watched her naked ass coming out of the water and glistening under the sun. "I am about to die," he growled and dove behind her. He caught up with her soon.

The two swam for a long time before she stopped. She had hoped that this exercise would exhaust her and him, but his naked presence made adrenalin gush in her body. She stopped near a rock that jutted out on the side and watched him walking up to her. Their gazes locked. It was impossible to look away from him until he came to stand right in front of her. A low rumble formed in his chest and he rested his forearms on either side of her head against the rock, caging her in as he leaned his head over her with every ounce of passion he was pent up with. Almost instinctively, she wrapped her fingers around his waist. Slowly, as his chest heaved at the touch, she brought her fingers to his ass and pulled him closer.

"Can I kiss you?" he asked.
