Chapter 77: Day Trip
**Avery**
I am both excited and nervous. Maybe I should text Trisha and see what ideas she could give me for a wedding because I have no clue. I know roughly how dragons do it, but I know it will not work with me having three mates. Plus, I want her up there with me. She has been a good friend and finally, we do not have to hide it.
After I texted her, I got dressed and went downstairs to breakfast. To my surprise, the kitchen was clean and I heard Conner tell me to come to the dining room. The table was set and all of our plates were made. Clint pulled out my chair. He leaned down to whisper, “Get used to this because we intend to always treat our wife.” I gasped and he kissed my cheek. “Avery, I know how man is supposed to behave, and now I will do it. You are my mate and will be my wife. I love you. Now eat,” Clint said before he took his seat beside me.
We all chatted as we ate. Cassius made sure that we were excused from school. He told the others to take me and that he would meet us there. As we got into Conner’s car, I looked at him and said, “Cass is up to something.” I looked between Clint and Conner, “You all are. If you want to pretend that the offer of marriage did not happen, we can.”
Conner takes both of my hands in his and Clint leans up from the backseat. They both said simultaneously that I was their wife. Clint chuckled, “Avery, we are happy. This is us wanting to share everything with you. We want to give you the world, but since that is impossible we want to share our world with you. So today, we are planning to do just that. Please relax and enjoy it. Trust me, it is something good.”
I was touched by his words. I leaned my head towards his. “How good?” I teased as I raised my eyebrow in challenge.
Clint smirked before he closed the gap. His kiss was soft at first before he ran his tongue along my bottom lip. He sucked it into his mouth and bit it lightly before the kiss deepened as his tongue plundered my mouth like a pirate in search of treasure. He pulled back and looked into my eyes as he said, “That good.” The kiss was so good that now my panties are soaked and I would fuck either of them right now if they asked.
Conner kissed both of my hands before he released them. He held my face between both of his hands. He smiled, “If you do not like our day of surprises, I will let you boss me around all of next week.” Then he kissed me softly. My mind replayed his words. Could I boss him around? Would I enjoy it? I am unsure because I have always done as I was told. However, I do not want to hate what they might have planned. I need to keep an open mind. They are my mates and I need to trust that they will always want the best for me as I do them. I just still struggle with the concept of me being what is best for them.
As we drove, Conner told me that we were going to take a shortcut that is only accessible to magic users. We entered this dark tunnel that he jokingly referred to as The Rabbit Hole. He chuckled. “Avery or should I say, Alice, if you stay in Wonderland, I will show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. And something tells me it is quite a tight fit and very deep,” he said as he moved his finger up my inner thigh and began to trace small circles.
I know he is joking about my pussy being a rabbit hole because my life feels like one huge rabbit hole. To me, the phrase "rabbit hole" is a metaphor for a difficult or complicated situation that's hard to get out of. It can also refer to a surreal state or situation. For example, you might describe someone as "descending into the rabbit hole" if they've lost their sense of self. I often wonder if I ever had a sense of self to lose. But right now everything feels surreal, so the phrase definitely fits. I am also in a complicated situation, but I do not want to escape it. I don't have to be that scared little girl in Wonderland anymore. For once, I am in control of my destiny. The only thing that I can't control is the mating bond which I already feel pulsating within me. If Conner keeps touching me like that, he will need to find us a place to have sex.
**Conner**
Usually, Clint is the suggestive one. However, I could not help myself just now. It was not my dragon’s influence either, because Caleb is just as perturbed as I am. My eyes locked with hers and I heard her breath catch. That was my undoing. I pulled to a stop at a safe point. We are in between the human world and the magical world. We are in what is referred to as The In-Between. Dragons do not come here often because we are hunted there just as we were in the human world although The In-Between does have safe havens. We are pulled into such a safe haven right now. I slip my finger into her panties and massage her clit. “A detour is needed. Our little mate is soaked.”
