Page 124 of Pack: Posy 3

"Let's agree to save things like the fair and the zoo and amusement parks for group dates," I said. "For now, come up with activities you like that Posy would enjoy, too, and we'll see if one works for tonight. Wyatt, let's start with you. What's something that you like to do and want to share with Posy?"

"Mess around with cars, although she wouldn't be interested in that." He tilted his head as he thought. "Drag races, but again, not something our girl would enjoy since she doesn't like loud noises and crowds. Sports, but would she like going to the batting cages? That's not much of a date. Argh! I don't know!"

"Art," Mase suggested. "Take her on a date involving art. You said she loved looking at your sketchbooks, right?"

"How do you make that into a date?" He ran his fingers through his fluffy hair with a frustrated scowl.

"You could do a couple of different things," Jay said before I could. "You could take a painting class in the city, or go through some of the galleries and the art museum, then hit up a nice place for dinner."

"Or you could pack some supplies and a picnic lunch and take her to the lake." Ash smiled, obviously proud of himself. "You'd have privacy there, too, in case things get heated afterward."

"I see no problem with mating in a public place," Wyatt told him with one raised eyebrow. "The museum has one of those family bathrooms that we could lock ourselves in and—"

"TMI! TMI!" I slammed my hands over my ears.

"What?" He gave me a mocking look. "You're a mated woman now. You and Ty have matedplentyof times, remember?"

"Yes, we have, but I don't need to hear about my brother's scandalous sex life. Now, unless you like the lake idea, Google some art-related activities nearby while I help these other knuckleheads."

"Thanks, Per." Cole rolled his eyes at me.

"Let's take her to the fair together after we have our individual dates with her," Ash said. "If we each spend a day with her, that would be Wednesday night. I know she wants to go to the beach, but we can't pull that together before Wednesday. Or can we?"

"The fair is only in town until next weekend," Cole reminded him, "so let's save the beach for later. It can be a big surprise. Maybe we can go after the queen's coronation at the end of the month and before her family reunion at the beginning of August."

"Make those two events bookends on a beach trip?" Mase nodded. "I like it."

"Perfect!" I smiled. "Okay, so who's going first tonight into tomorrow?"

"Me," Mase said quickly. "I'll take her out to dinner at Roger's because she asked if we could go there a couple of days ago. Then I'll get a room for tonight. I don't think she's ever stayed in a hotel."

"And you'd have nothing but privacy if things get—"

"Ash, let's just assume that thingswillget heated for all of your dates," I rolled my eyes, "and plan accordingly, hmm?"

"Which hotel? You better get to booking somewhere if it's for tonight," Wyatt spoke up.

With a nod, Mase took out his phone, apparently to look for vacancies.

"What will you do tomorrow?" I asked him.

"Go to the Saturday flea market. That's why I wanted to go first. I'll encourage her to pick some stuff for her special room. Then lunch somewhere nice before I hand her off for her next date."

"Sweet!" Ash stood up and high-fived him. "Not only is it a great date, it gives the rest of us time to put something together."

"Take her to that little tea shop next to Stella's for lunch," Jay told him. "She'll definitely love that."

"Perfect! Thanks, man."

"And I'll meet you there to pick her up formydate," Wyatt said. "We're going to the art museum first, then dinner, then doing a painting class for the rest of the evening. Who am I handing her off to on Sunday after lunch?"

"Wait, where are you sleeping?" I asked.

"I rented a place," he said simply, which concerned me.

"Does it have a bathroom? A shower? What about a change of clothes for her?"

"Yes, it has a bathroom! Stop worrying. I know what I'm doing." He flapped a hand at me. "And we can each bring her a bag of clothes and stuff when we meet up. Which reminds me. Someone remember to put Mr. Nibbles in her overnight bag tonight. Just in case."
