His plump mate (Rebel and Austin) by Buchanan novel Chapter 421

Chapter 421

Isaiah POV

I fell asleep with Kaia in my arms and even though it was only for a couple of hours, it was the best sleep I’ve ever had. I really didn’t want to wake her up, but I know she said she had things to do today and the way I see it, the sooner it’s done, the sooner she comes home with me.

“Kaia?” I said, nudging her.

Her leg is wrapped around me, and she is snuggled against me, with her arm around my chest. She looks adorable and I hate nudging her a second time.

“Kaia? It’s time to get up.

She grunts. “Five more minutes.”

I chuckled. “I take it you are not a morning person?”

“I am, but not when I have been up all night.” She groaned. She seems to realize that she is practically on top of me and she nearly jumps off the bed to get away from me.

I raise an eyebrow at her, “I’m not poisonous. Nor will I bite.”

She is visibly trying to shake off her nerves. “Sorry, I just didn’t expect to be on you like that.”

I sighed. “It’s normal. Izo was likely reaching for Storn. Don’t get worked up. I don’t feel like my virtue has been ruined.” I smirked.

She rolled her eyes and for some reason, that one action made me want to put her over my knee. “I bet you say that to all the women you flirt with.”

“I don’t flirt. I don’t have women.” I said seriously. “I do, however, have a mate that seems like she can’t run away from me fast enough. What is going on, Kaia? Please talk to me.”

She wrapped her arms around herself, and it seems like she is feeling vulnerable and struggling to talk to me.” Now is not the time. I need to talk to Sinclair.” She said and she ran out of the room.

Fuck. I’m trying to exercise patience, but it’s wearing thin pretty damn fast. Why won’t she just talk to me? I’m 1 that unapproachable?

‘It’s not you.’ Storn said. ‘Izo said Kaia enjoyed being with you. She is dealing with a lot, and she is getting herself ready for today.’

‘What’s happening today?’

‘She wouldn’t say.’

I feel my frustration rising. Why won’t she let me help her? I’m all for an independent woman, but damn it! I will give her the lead, and she can let me assist her. I got up and get ready for my morning, now in a bad mood.

When I came downstairs, I heard Sinclair talking to Kaia.

“Are you sure about this?”

“Yeah. It’s necessary, Sinclair. Just have the ice packs ready.”

“Does Isaiah know?”

“Do you think Stickler would let me leave if he knew?”

Stickler? Did she just call me Stickler? I file that away for another conversation for another time. I continue listening.

“Sinclair, keep your eyes on the living room and foyer cameras. If things get rough, I will yell out ‘gutless bastard

and you hit these three buttons. It will startle him enough for me to react. Okay?”

“This is a bad idea, Kaia.”

“After this is done, the next phase begins. Keep Isaiah here, please. He will freak out. You see how he’s clinging right now. He’s excited and I am too, but I can’t have him step in and ruin what I’m trying to accomplish.”

She’s excited. I heard it. No take backs. I feel my shoulders releasing tension I didn’t know they were holding. Now, I want to know what she is planning. I came downstairs, “Kaia.”

She turned around quickly. “Isaiah…I’m stepping out for a little bit. You and Sinclair stay here. I’ll be right back. An hour tops.”

“What are you planning, Ms. Trouble.” I asked walking closer to her.

She smirks, “What I do best. Cause trouble of course.”

“Tell me what is going on.”

“I promise, I will after I come back. Promise me that you will stay here, Isaiah.”

“Only if you tell me what is going on.”

She sighed, “Okay, come with me.”

She takes me by the hand and leads me to the living room. She sits me on a standalone seat with four wooden legs. Then she sits on my lap and puts her arms around me. I wrapped my arms around her waist and honestly, I love

this moment.

I inhale her scent and force myself to calm down and listen to my mate.

“Isaiah, my husband cheats on me. Constantly. I have the proof I need. But there is a little more to it. I need the confrontation with him. He’s in the middle of having sex with another woman right now, and I need catch him in the act. I need that act recorded. Okay?”

I feel the anger rising in my body. “Let me take care of him for you.”

She smiled gently and then softly kissed my lips. Our first kiss. I want to deepen it, but she pulls back. “Isaiah, there is more at stake than you understand. Please, let me handle this. This is what I do. Promise me, no matter what, you will stay here with Sinclair. Sinclair knows when to step in, okay. I promise I will be fine.”

“I can’t promise that if you are going to put yourself in harm’s way, Kaia. I’m your mate. Let me help you. Please.”

“If you intervene, you will be doing exactly the opposite of helping me.” She said.

She’s running her fingers through my hair and then I suddenly feel a soft click and my legs being restrained. “ What the…” I said, realizing I’m actually being tied down by Sinclair.

“Thanks, Sinclair.” Kaia said, standing up. She leans down and kisses me again. Same soft kiss. Like she is afraid to do more. “I’m sorry that I’m not sorry, Isaiah. I need to take care of this, and I will be right back.”

She looks at Sinclair who has a worried looked, “I sheathed it in cloth. He will be fine. Be careful.”
