Novel Full 387 Small stunt
“So you’ve really made up your mind,” Leila said as she came out from behind the corner, revealing that she spied on Mathew’s rallying speech.
“I didn’t expect you to be here,” Mathew turned his head around and said, casting a quick glance in the girl’s direction.
Ever since he left her lap, Mathew threw himself into the hurry of getting everything settled and prepared for the coming expedition.
‘I have no idea what she was up to since then… could it be she kept on following me?’ Mathew asked himself.
His thoughts lingered on the topic for a second before the young man shook his head. ‘What’s even the point of thinking about this?’ Mathew asked himself while taking a deep breath.
“I finished up with what I was doing so I came to check on you,” Leila explained before putting on a faint smile. “Even though it was my idea to spend my allocated time the way we did, I couldn’t help but feel some lingering regrets,” she added as her smile turned into a smirk.
“Are you for real?” Mathew groaned.
He could already picture what the entire process would look like. After all, the girl was right.
Not only have recent events pushed into the time she was supposed to get with him. Not only did Mathew himself cut the time she managed to salvage short when he felt the burst of motivation to go and prepare for the expedition.
But to top it all off, even in the short time they spent together, they refrained from acting out of the line, limiting themselves to just some innocent cuddling.
Right now, Leila had every right to be dissatisfied with how her turn turned out to be, leaving Mathew with no valid excuse if she demanded him to pay her back.
‘It’s going to take a while to get everything over with…’ Mathew thought, helpless at the idea of wasting the precious time he already planned for other matters that required his oversight.

For a second, seeds of tears danced in the corners of her eyes.
Then, as if her emotions were all fake, Leila shook her head and replaced her sadness with a look of amusement.
“Don’t worry, don’t worry!” Leila stepped out from her hideout behind the corner and approached Mathew only to pat him on his shoulder. “I can see how busy you are. Don’t worry, I won’t take you away for god knows how long, keeping you away from the important stuff.”
Mathew raised his eyes.
‘It’s pretty damn obvious that she’s horny,’ he thought after a mere moment of observation and analysis.
Leila’s eyes were shining and so did her skin. Her movements were extremely soft. Her entire aura gave off the feeling of the comfiest cushion in the world.
Everything about Leila screamed an invitation.
Just standing near the girl made Mathew involuntarily lean towards her, his body reading right into the pheromones produced by Leila’s excitement.
‘So that’s what it feels to be in heat,’ Mathew thought, closing his eyes and slowly taking in a shallow breath.
Right now, inhaling deeply would mean stuffing his brain with Leila’s scent… and the rich sense of pheromones that underlined it.
It was a trap that Mathew didn’t dare to proclaim he could freely escape from.
“I know I’m asking for a lot, but I will need you and all the others to be at your best during the expedition,” Mathew said as he desperately reached up… and successfully managed to rest his hands on Leila’s shoulders.
“But can we put it for later?” Mathew asked. “I will talk with the others and we will push the schedule for a day. In this way, you will get the turn that you were robbed of.
The entire system of Mathew’s wives sharing his rest time was full of flaws. The more one would lean into it the more gaps in logic they would notice. Still, as nothing more but a word-based contract, it was freely up for changes… Changes that Mathew had no other choice but to implement now.
‘If I let them miss their days due to work, there will always be one slacker at all times,’ Mathew realized which only served to further nail down the point in his mind.
Regardless of if it was Nadia, Daria, Leila, or Carol, Mathew could already picture them refusing to exert themselves out of fear of missing their turn with him. And even if, with time, their feelings towards him were to change…
The sense of competition and rivalry would only grow stronger.
“Once again, it’s okay,” she stated before turning around and looking over the corner she was hiding behind just a moment ago.
Then, as if the entire thing was orchestrated right from the beginning, Nadia, Daria, and Carol walked out of the corner as well.
“I…” Mathew hesitated for a second.
He didn’t feel guilt… for there was nothing that he did recently that would warrant the presence of the guilt.
He was simply surprised by the appearance of his wives. Surprised… and puzzled.
There had to be a reason for them appearing together at the same time, after all.
And there was no reason for him to keep his surprise hidden either.
“I have no idea why you pulled out a stunt like that,” Mathew admitted before releasing a long, deep sigh. “But I do believe now it’s the best time to make use of my surprise to reveal the intention behind this act.”
“There was no need to be such a killjoy…” Nadia pouted a little while crossing her arms on her chest.
“We are here to ask what our job will be,” Daria stepped forth and said, revealing the reason for the presence of the girls on the scene.
“Also,” Carol then stepped forward, “aren’t I the leader of the hunters?” she asked while taking to the front of the group. “Why wasn’t I invited to this meeting in the first place?”
