The next morning, I found this strange woman cuddle in the crook of my arm, the bedsheets and blanket wrapped around her. This explain why I was being chilled.

If I had anything to do, I'd have forced this little mink to wake but it was still early, and my hunger could wait. I rolled over and took her into my arms but soon I found she was awake, and my action gave her an opening to cuddle even closer.

The scent of wildflowers were in her hair. This made me smile as I found the smell pleasant. I said softly in her ear "do you want to get up?" This got me a shake of her head and her rubbing her face in my chest. "Okay, okay, I get it, just sleep!" I kissed her head and closed my eyes.

We remain this way the entire morning normally I would of did my meditation and prep work to create things but because of what went down the previous night, I had posted on the store's door I'd be close for the next few days (as I had no idea if I end up being injured by the action.) I chosen to take so it was the only logical choice to do.

After stay in bed for nearly half the day we finally got up. After we broke away from one another, the woman dashed into the bathroom. I could hear the shower as I went to cook a small meal for the both of them.

I flipped the ingredients in the pan as I made a stir fry as I tossed a few ingredients from my item boxes to enhance the flavor. As I was engrossed in the cooking, I hadn't noticed that the lovely Susan had stepped from the shower. She had got dressed in one of my shirts she then came up and hugged my waist. This caused me almost to drop the pan but I caught it and regained control.

I heard her laugh followed by her pressing her head into the middle of my back before she said in her sultrily way, "Did I scare you? What, did you think I was a monster coming to eat you up?"

I looked over my shoulder and said as I turned the fire off," Didn't the eating already happen the previous night?"

She did not reply, instead I felt a sharp pain.

"Gah! No double pinching while I'm cooking! Or do you not want to eat my food?"

I felt a soft pounding followed by a soft voice. "if you don't feed me your fabulous food, I'll have to gnaw on some of my favorite parts of you."

I suddenly felt her hands drift across my abs, waist… (cough)…. hips and then she grasps my ass but I got the idea so I said in a higher octave in my voice "okay okay you win you always win."

"Yep …you're learning." This was followed by a loud smack and my right butt cheek. Feeling a small burn, I turned around just in time to see her prancing towards the table waiting to be served.

I took two saucer type dishes, then took the pan from the stovetop before plating the food as I empty the pan before tossing the pan into the sink. With this done I carried the plates and silverware over. As I sat the plate in front of this big kid I watched her take in a deep breath before she pouted and leered at me.

"I wonder how many other girls enjoy this treatment and why does a man know how to make such dishes?"

I laughed as I took a spoonful of my dish into my mouth followed by me saying; "Probably as many beds you share on the state missions you do."

She went silent.

"Our deal with this; unless you're done being a state spy who does alchemy, then you can't ask that. As far as my cooking; it's just been you, as you're the only one I let up here."

As she heard this, I could tell she wanted to retort, but she soon remembered this is what she wanted when we first started out. So, all she could do was pout but also secretly smile as she heard the last part. She had no idea that didn't go unnoticed as we both began to eat.

After eating I let her clean the table as I went to clean up.

[twenty minutes later]

I stepped out of the bathroom a towel wrapped around my waist and I looked around and saw she was gone. I smiled and walked over to the dining table a note penned in her handwriting saying she hated saying bye so she left while I was showering. 'Um, what?' At the end my eyes went crossed and I said out loud, "that little bitch."

I dropped the note and went off to go downstairs towards my office the towel soon falling off. "She wouldn't she couldn't gaaaah from now on I keep it all in the item box."

As I got to the office, I walked over to the special place I stored my bottle of fire whiskey and I soon found a second note that had a fox face with its tongue sticking out, 'teach you for always obey me; being too truthful and having other girls …also I took your shirt.'

I fell into my office chair. As this happened, I felt my naked butt hit the wood and realize I lost the towel. "Well, crap," I muttered as I kicked the empty space. "When you show back up don't blame me for being overly aggressive…you didn't even leave me a bottle… oh well." I reached into the item box and pulled out a bottle of my own. I uncorked it and sniffed before taking a swallow.

"Thank God, I still have my super-secret emergency stash. I'm going to have to brew more in the near future" took another swig as I reached into the desk for a pad of parchment to write a list of ingredients I need to get
