Sean’s PovI took a different path than Dallas and rode slower in search of the game. It had been so long since I'd hunted that everything about this hunt felt foreign. Luckily, I'd set our stakes so I could prepare before today.I practised for two full days, confirming the gathering point of the animals and familiarizing myself with the long-barreled rifle I would use. I practised shooting elsewhere to strengthen my weak experience until I was fully prepared as I am now.The sound of leaves rubbing together made me stop. A squirrel looked up at me and took off running, jumping into another tree before disappearing. I rode back, looking for a part of the more crowded forest with larger animals. "There should be a pond around here," I muttered, trying to remember.There were many pond spots in the hunting grounds, each in one region but located quite deep from the starting point. I was still looking for the game around me when I finally found one deer that still looked young but quite

Arabella’s PovI saw Dallas's car entering the fence, not long after the man entered the house and looked straight at me. I was a bit surprised by his battered face and cast leg, but I didn't say anything. I was still angry with him, and his injuries must have been his own fault. I didn't want to know.Dallas greeted me first. "Did you have dinner?""Already. Your share is in the fridge." I stared at the television, trying to ignore Dallas's gait, which was still limping despite his crutches.I could see his smile from Dallas's following words. "Are you worried about me? I fell off my horse and was nearly killed by a giant wild boar.""What?" I watched Dallas incredulously, but I understood that the wound was that bad. He'd been hunting a lot before but never came home in such a horrible state. "No wonder you're battered. That's good, worth it for the animals you killed."I grunted in satisfaction, folding my arms under my chest as I watched television. I could stay home and watch all

Arabella Pov"So, what excuse can you give me now, hm?" Dallas asked, looking at me and Sean sitting next to each other on the long sofa. He'd apparently gotten home earlier than the message he'd sent me and had finally found us in bed.I was grateful that there hadn't been any incidents that had caused a scene in the house. At the very least, Sean and I had both dressed and cleaned ourselves beforehand, as well as changed the bedding we were using so as not to leave any suspicions, but still, the incident this time had similarities to that time.I could only look down, playing with my hands uncomfortably, as I couldn't find a reason to defend myself. I was the one who invited Sean to the house and was looking for an opportunity to spend time with him without my brother's supervision. But, apparently, I had the wrong strategy.Dallas tapped a finger on his cell phone. I could feel his piercing gaze even as I looked down while Sean quietly clasped my hand tighter between our thighs. We

Arabella’s PovWanda and I continued our walk through the shopping center, looking at the window displays of several stores that had their newest and best-selling collections at the very front to attract the attention of people walking by like us. Wanda brought me inside several times, accompanying her as she browsed and selected the desired clothes.Wanda fitted one of the sweet-looking overalls in front of me, looking at my reflection in the mirror with an appraising expression. "Hm, nice too. Do you like it?" She looked at me, demanding an answer."I like it, but you don't have to buy it for me." I shook my head softly, knowing her obvious intentions. She already told me that one of her love languages is gift-giving, so refusing like this would be pointless.As expected, Wanda ignored my words. She immediately gave the overalls she had chosen for me to one of the staff accompanying us and took me to another section. We still picking out clothes when my phone vibrated from my pants

Sean’s Pov"S-sean!" Arabella spoke in such a shrill voice that I pulled my hand away hurriedly while she pulled up her deliberately unbuttoned sweater with a flushed face.I could feel my face turning red, especially when remembering how soft Arabella's breasts were that I had touched just a moment ago. I unconsciously swallowed and looked away, unable to immediately speak about our current situation.Arabella and I didn't look at each other even though we were still walking close together, feeling awkward since it happened in a public place. Thankfully, no one else was around us as we were the last to exit the room, leaving only the cleaning staff inside and a few other people when we arrived at the front.I exhaled, relieved we managed to get through the incident quite well. I glanced at Arabella, who still wouldn't look at me, and mumbled very quietly, "Are you okay? Sorry about that, Bella. I didn't mean to."Arabella immediately looked at me and shook her head. "I know. You were
