Finding Myself in The BeastWorld

34. Village

Paiges Pov:

Winston, Kaden, and I had a bit of fun at the river. It seriously helped with these hormones. Plus, my hubby's took good care not to be too rough.
We're walking back when I run into Muir. He smiles at me with a blush.

"Hey Paige.. I'm going to get fruits. Do you want to join me?" He asks. Oh yeah, it would be nice to get some walking done. Plus, I can see what trees the fruit grows on. I look at my hubby's.

"I'll go with you too, Paige." Kaden says.
Sweet.

"Do I need to bring a sack?" I ask Muir.

"No, I have one we can grab enough for everyone." He smiles at me. This time, I'm blushing. I hold Kadens arm, and we all walk to find fruits.

"Muir, how's your injury?" Curiously, I ask him.

"It's all healed since last night, Paige." He blushes more.

"Paige, what fruits are you wanting?" Kaden asks me. I grin at him.

"The sour ones or tangy. I don't feel like eating sweet ones right now." I playfully tug Kaden. He chuckles.

"I did see a few of those this way, Paige." Muir leads up to an opening from the trees, and there is the holy grail of fruits. I see three trees with fruits hanging off of the sagging branches. I go over and try to grab one, but it's just a bit too high to pick.
I get on my tippy toes.. Just a bit.. more..
I touch the fruit, but it still is too hard to pick.. herm..

"I will get you stupid fruit! Best, just drop now." I shake the branch barely moving the dang thing. Hermm.. I grunt. I move a branch on the ground to step on. Finally, I grab the fruit, but it won't detach. I pull more.. you son of a bitch! I put all my weight to pull it and fall back with the fruit. I brace myself but I'm caught. I feel arms around me comfortable. He helps me get up.

"Are you okay?" Muir turns me around to him. Oh I was in his arms. I blush.

"I'm okay Muir thank you.." he chuckles.

"You know I can pick any fruit you want. You don't need to be almost hurting yourself." I rub the fruit a bit looking down. Biting my lip from embarrassment.
I look at him. He has beautiful eyes.

"Well.. this tree hates me. Usually, I'm good at picking fruits." Muir laughs and starts picking dead leaves out of my hair.

"I'm sure you are. Do you want me to help you up in the tree so i can see this great fruit picking?" I giggle and nod. Sure, why not. I'll show this stupid tree. Hm!
Muir takes my fruit and sets it in the sack that's like a bag with handles. He grabs me with one arm up to him. I wrap my arms around his neck. He smells good like.. amber and pine. Muir starts climbing this massive tree. Wow, how does he do it?

"Muir? Can I ask you something?"

"Sure, anything, Paige." I peek at him.

"What do you like to do for fun?" I ask.. Curiously.

"Well, I like to explore, collect different rocks, I like competing with other flyers. What about you, Paige?" I nod those are all amazing.

"I like to make things, cook, I really love preening days. I enjoy my mates more than anything." He hugs me tighter. I look at him.. this jealous male, but he covers my mouth. I look at Muir. He looks at me. We see beastmen walking twords us. I hide my face into Muirs shoulder into his cloak.
They spot us, and Muir jumps down. Kaden comes over as well growling at the males.

"Hey, we come here for fruits everyday don't growl at us." One beastman says. I look up at the beastmen. They look at me in surprise.

"Oh, uh.. we didn't mean to scare your female." A male with green hair says.
