She was still wearing a tight-fitting body-hugging dress this time but with an extra apron tied around her waist. It made her look even more like an obedient little housewife.
I stared at her in a daze. Then, someone suddenly patted me on the back. It was Riley.
"Why were you late? We were starving!"
Raven brought out a few more dishes from the kitchen and smiled at me, saying, "We thought you wouldn't want to come. Since we had no idea what you liked to eat, we just made whatever."
It wasn't like I'd been taken advantage of in the past—yet the way they treated me made me feel as though they were really sorry about taking advantage of me.
I scratched the back of my head rather sheepishly and simply hummed in response.
Just as I thought things were getting back to normal, the dishes were served, and my jaw nearly dropped to the floor when I saw them.
There were all sorts of steak, salmon, and oyster dishes, cooked in various different ways. Weren't these foods all meant to boost libido and enhance sex?
I feared that I would suddenly pop a boner in the middle of dinner.
Seeing the shocked look on my face, Raven placed her hand on my shoulder and asked in concern, "What's the matter? Do you not like them? Are they not cooked to your liking?"
Her warm breath fanned across my ears. I shuddered at once.
Raven just chuckled when she noticed my reaction.
"N-Nothing, I like them quite a lot."
Riley sat opposite me and kept fluttering her eyelashes at me. Meanwhile, Arielle was still cooking in the kitchen.
I gulped, wondering if they were giving me more hints through the dishes that they made today.
"Alright, dinner is served. Let's eat while it's still hot! It won't be as enjoyable when it's cold."
Arielle entered the dining hall and placed the last of the dishes on the table as she spoke. Then, the three of them crowded around me at once.
"Eat this!" Riley said, dishing me a huge portion of grilled salmon.
"And this," Raven said, handing me a bowl of cream of oyster soup.
Arielle looked at me meaningfully and said, with a smile on her lips, "I made all of these especially for you. Help yourself to seconds or thirds."
She made sure to emphasize on the words "seconds" and "thirds" while speaking to me.
For some reason, I felt uncomfortable even though they were all smiling at me.
I was a man, after all, and I was supposed to be the assertive one. However, I just didn't know where to start.
"Um, I brought some wine, Arielle."
I placed the wine I bought on the table, trying to steer the topic to something within my control.
Arielle looked delighted. She praised me for being thorough.
However, I suddenly realized that Riley and Raven were both staring at me with a different look in their eyes.
It was a lot more intense than before, and also, their eyes somehow looked invasive, as if they were going to gobble me up in the next second.
