It had ended up being an interesting first week for both Callum and Cerys. The pair had managed to learn a great deal about each other and they'd gotten rather close in that time too, especially in regards to physical intimacy. Though they weren't a couple, the certainly acted like newlyweds, though for obvious reasons they couldn't engage in any sexual activities or anything beyond cuddling for the most part. But despite that, they had gotten very comfortable around each other.
Callum had adapted to being a host quite well, and his short time living alone before that had helped make him rather adept at doing housework. Without a proper job he had plenty of time to keep the house spick and span, and even with Cerys' help he was now quite the hand in the kitchen, though the satyr had put it upon herself to be in charge of that certain domain. He was slowly getting better but the human still had some way to go before he could handle cooking by himself.
Amanda came for her weekly visit to check up on the pair and was happy to see that Callum and Cerys were getting along really well, though she had concerns that they were getting on a little too well for her liking. Whilst the satyr was busy getting breakfast ready, she had managed to single out the host and they were discussing in the dining room.
"Well, I'm glad to see that you and Cerys are getting along just fine," The redhead commented before taking a sip of her coffee. "though I want to make sure that the two of you are sticking to the guidelines of the exchange program and not engaging in any illicit activities." She added with a slight edge to her voice.
Callum was understandably worried by her comment. Sure, he and Cerys haven't had sex at all, though he was worried that his old friend could misconstrue his and his homestay's closeness as being too intimate for the government's liking, not to mention the few close calls he and the satyr have had so far. "Trust me, Am, Cerys and I are following the guidelines, but you're more than aware of how clingy she can be at times." The host tried to defend himself as he rubbed the back of his head nervously.
"True, but I'm more than aware of how susceptible you are to women's advances, Callie," Amanda replied with a slight hint of annoyance in her tone.
The host just let out a nervous laugh in response. "Fair point, but I assure you that Cerys and I haven't done anything illegal."
"He's right you know." The satyr spoke up as she came into the dining room with three plates in hand, one of which were balanced on one of her arms like a waiter would do, all of which had a generous helping of bacon, waffles and scrambled eggs on them. "If Beau had fucked my brains out already then I wouldn't be able to keep my mouth shut about it." She said in a teasing tone as she set the plates onto the table.
The government agent quirked an eyebrow at her. "Beau?"
"I think it's a cute nickname," Cerys replied as she took a seat next to her host and rested her head against his shoulder. "don't you think so, Beau?" She asked him as she looked up at him with seductive eyes.
"I don't mind, Ceri, but don't you think you might give people the wrong idea, especially when you get close like this?"
"Who said anything about giving the wrong idea?" She said as her cheeks blushed red.
Amanda made an audible cough to get the pairs' attention. "It is exactly behaviour like this that has me worried about this whole situation. If it were anyone but me, the ICEP would have to re-evaluate your positions in the exchange program."
The satyr just smirked back at her as she wrapped her arms around her host's torso. "But he's just so sexy, it's hard not to get excited. Maybe you're just jealous that I get to have all the fun with him." She said in a teasing tone.
The redhead's face went bright red at her accusation. "I-I-I assure you that I do not feel that way towards Mr Spencer!" She retorted in a panic, desperate to dispute what the homestay was suggesting.
Callum sighed to himself. "Ceri, quit teasing Agent Finn already." He said as he prodded a finger against her cheek hard.
Cerys giggled to herself as she separated herself from him. "I'm only kidding. Seriously though, you two are so easy to tease that it's kind of cute."
Both humans groaned in annoyance, much to the homestay's delight.
"Anyway, dig in. Don't want to let your breakfast get cold." She said before she dug into her food.
They did as she requested and started eating breakfast, and both were impressed by it. "Mmm, I keep forgetting how good of a cook you are, Cerys." The government agent commented.
"Yeah, you always do a good job." The host added.
The homestay just blushed at the statement. "Thanks, but I'm sorry that it's such a meagre meal. We didn't have a lot left in either the fridge or the pantry."
"It's alright, I was planning on getting groceries today anyway," Callum said as he glanced back at his homestay. "you're more than welcome to tag along if you want."
"Oh, I'm definitely up for it, Beau," Cerys replied with a smirk on her face. "there are so many recipes I want to try out, I just can't wait."
"Just remember that despite the program covering for your food expenses, we'll only do so to a reasonable extent, so try not to go overboard," Amanda interjected.
"Yeah, still need to get used to this whole budgeting thing." The young man added.
The satyr let out a groan as she pouted to herself. "…Fine, but I still get to choose what we get though, someone has to make sure you eat right…"
The humans merely smiled at each other over the way Cerys was acting. As good as her intentions were, she could still be rather demanding of times.
Later on, Callum and Cerys found themselves in the local grocery store. It wasn't as grand as some of the bigger chains but they still had many options available to them, especially now with imports from liminal nations. As the human pushed the shopping cart along, his homestay had the task of picking up ingredients of her choosing. He noticed that she had a huge smile on her face as she did so, almost acting like a kid in a candy store.
"I don't think I've ever seen you this excited before, Ceri." The host commented with a smile of his own.
"How can I not be? They practically have everything here." Cerys answered as she grinned back at him. "At this rate, we'll be able to plan out our meals for the next month or so."
"Christ, you sound like my mom right now."
"Well, I know you're my host but someone has to look after you." The satyr replied as she gave him a cheeky wink.
"And I appreciate your concern, but just remember that I'm the one who's supposed to be looking after you." He told her as he smirked back at her. "Someone has to keep you out of trouble."
"Oh, and I suppose you have some ideas on how best to occupy my attention?" She teased, now giving her host a seductive look.
Callum just shook his head at her, though his smirk was still evident on his face as he did so. "You are persistent."
"You know you love it, Beau." The homestay replied before she moved to his side and gave him a quick peck on the cheek before anyone could notice. She left his side once more and looked at the shopping list they had with them. "Okay, we've got most of the stuff we need. Just need to pick up some fresh salmon for dinner later and we should be good."
As the pair started to make their way to where the fishmonger was, the host pondered to himself on his relationship with the young satyr. They had certainly gotten close, but if it wasn't for the stupid 'No Touchy' rule put in place by the government, maybe he could see himself and Cerys being more than just host and homestay. He wasn't sure if it was just sexual attraction, or maybe it could be something more than that.
"Maybe, just maybe…" He thought to himself as his cheeks went bright red.
As he was lost in thought a pair of hands had come up from behind him and covered his eyes. He was surprised at first but he only knew one person that would do that to him. With a smile on his face, he raised his right hand and tapped the back of the person's right hand three times in quick succession. The person in question removed their hands from his face and Callum turned around to face the culprit. Standing in front of him was a human girl that looked around sixteen or seventeen with long dark brown hair and hazel eyes, standing only about three inches shorter than he was. She had a slender figure and not much in the way of curves but she certainly was a cutie in anyone's eyes. She was wearing a white summer dress, as well as a pair of tanned sandals and a pair of red-framed sunglasses on her head. The girl was just giving in a warm smile as her cheeks began to go a light shade of pink.
Without uttering a single word Callum spread his arms open and the girl wasted no time as she pressed herself against him and wrapped her arms tightly around him. He gently wrapped his arms around her and held her close as she started nuzzling her cheek against his chest.
"Enjoying yourself there, Beau?" Cerys spoke up from right behind him.
The host flinched and looked behind him to see a smirk on her face, though much to the satyr's surprise the girl in her host's arms didn't seem to react to her intrusion at all, only looking up at him in confusion.
Callum stepped away from the teen and furrowed his eyebrows at his homestay. "This isn't what it looks like. This is my sister, Stacie." He told her as he gestured his hand towards his sister, who was now looking at the blonde with curiosity in her eyes.
Cerys looked back at the girl and gave her a friendly smile. "Well, it's nice to meet you, Stacie." She said as she extended a hand towards the younger human. "I'm Cerys, your brother's homestay."
Stacie looked back at her brother with an annoyed look on her face and tugged on his sleeve hard to get his attention before showing him a series of hand gestures, much to the confusion of the homestay.
The host tried to give her an apologetic look in return as he started showing hand gestures to her in return.
"Um, what are you two doing?" The satyr asked as she struggled to comprehend what the two humans were doing. "Is this some weird human ritual thing?"
Callum looked back at her to try to explain the situation to his homestay. "We're using Sign language. You see my sister has been deaf for her whole life and this is the most practical way to communicate with her." He told her as he continued to make hand gestures, presumably to make his sister aware of what he was saying to Cerys. He then made even more hand gestures towards his sister before gesturing a hand towards the satyr.
Stacie eventually looked back at Cerys and gave her a friendly smile as she waved at her. She then started making hand gestures towards her.
"She said it's nice to meet you too," Callum explained.
Cerys looked back at the younger human and gave her a friendly smile in return as she waved a hand at her. She then returned her attention to her host. "Anyway, what was she getting mad at you for?"
"Oh, she was annoyed that I didn't tell you that she was deaf sooner."
While the pair were talking, Stacie opened up her handbag and pulled out a pen and a notepad. She then started writing something on it before she went over to the satyr and handed the notepad and pen to her. Cerys was confused at first before she read what the younger human had written.
Sorry about my brother, he can be pretty dense at times. Anyway, if you want to talk, we can use this to communicate. Also, try and get Callum to teach you Sign language at some point, it'll be easier in the long run.
The satyr looked back up at Stacie to see a bright smile on her face. Cerys snickered to herself before she wrote something on the notepad and handed it and the pen back to the girl.
It's okay, I'm sure I can whip Beau into shape, and I'll get him to teach me. I'd love to find out about any secret your brother might be hiding, and I'm sure you've got some stories about him that I'd love to hear. ;D
Stacie giggled to herself for a moment, much to the homestay's delight. Callum just eyed the satyr suspiciously.
"I hope you aren't trying to corrupt my little sister, Ceri."
"Oh, wouldn't you like to know." She replied in a sultry tone as she gave him a wink.
The host just shook his head before he returned his focus on his sister. Aren't Mom and Dad with you? He signed to her.
It's just me and Mom right now. Dad's still working his shift at the airport. She replied.
Just then a middle-aged woman that looked like an older version of Stacie came around the corner of the aisle with a shopping cart in hand. She was wearing a green blouse, blue jeans and a pair of brown ankle boots. The woman looked towards where the group were and smiled at the young man in particular.
"Ah, Callum. That explains why Stacie was in such a rush."
The host immediately looked back at her and returned a smile. "Oh, hey Mom. Should've known you'd be nearby." He said as Stacie looked over to where he was looking.
"Well, someone has to keep an eye on your sister." She replied while also signing what she said. She then focused on her daughter and gave her a smirk. I know you haven't seen your brother for a while, but I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't vanish on me like that.
I didn't go that far, plus I could've just texted you… Stacie responded with a pout on her face.
Even so, it's no excuse to go running off without me. The older woman lectured her daughter whilst giving her a stern look. She then focused her attention on her son's homestay. "And you must be Cerys. It's nice to meet you finally." She said in a friendly tone.
"Hey, Mrs Spencer, it's nice to meet you too. Beau's told me a lot of great things about you." The satyr replied with a wide grin.
"Oh, please dear, call me Audrey. Mrs Spencer is my mother-in-law." She corrected in a jovial tone. She then returned her focus onto her son. "And she already has a pet name for you. Aren't you two going a little too fast?" She jested, much to her son's dismay.
Callum groaned to himself at what his mother was implying. "Mom, it's not like that. Ceri and I have only known each other for a little over a week."
"Oh, sure it isn't." She teased as she tried to suppress a giggle.
You like her. Stacie added with a smirk on her face.
The host's face went red as he gave his sister an annoyed look. Don't you start…
"Don't be so shy about it, Beau." Cerys cut in a sultry tone as she leaned against his shoulder. "There's no point trying to hide how you feel."
*Sigh* "Are you trying to get me arrested?"
"You know you love it." She replied as she playfully poked his cheek.
While this was happening, Audrey was giggling to herself at how the pair were acting. "Alright, I think it's time we left you two lovebirds to get on with your day. Just make sure you come by and visit sometime. As you can see, Stacie has been missing you since you moved out."
Yeah, I miss having you around all the time… Stacie added with a downcast look on her face.
Callum gave his sister a warm smile before he stood next to her and patted her head gently. Stacie smiled to herself and closed her eyes as she enjoyed the feeling of her hair being gently rustled by her brother. After a moment he removed his hand as his sister locked eyes with him once more.
Don't worry, I'll make the effort to come down more often, and I'll also make sure to bring Cerys with me next time I'm over. He said as he quickly glanced over at his homestay.
Good, because I won't forgive you if you don't. She replied with a smirk crossing her lips. She then made her way to the satyr and pulled out her notepad again to write a message on it before showing it to her. Hey, Cerys? Do you mind coming to visit us when my brother next goes? I'd like to talk to you more.
Cerys smiled back at her before she took the pad and wrote her reply. I would love to xxx
A bright smile crossed the young teen's face before she pulled her into a hug, which the homestay happily reciprocated. After a moment Audrey moved up to Stacie's side and tapped her shoulder to get her attention, at which point her daughter looked back and separated herself from Cerys.
Come on, Stacie. We still need to go see Grandma and Grandpa after this.
Stacie just looked back at her mother with a pout on her face before nodding in resignation.
Audrey nodded back before she turned her attention towards her son and his homestay. "Sorry we couldn't talk for longer, but you know what your grandmother is like if we keep her waiting too long." She told him in an apologetic tone.
"Don't worry about it, Mom. I'll make sure to visit soon."
"Make sure you do." She replied before she walked over to him and hugged him. "Now, be good and take good care of Cerys, you hear?"
"The ICEP already makes sure I do." He complained, but he returned the hug regardless.
"Good to know." She said as she let go of him and started making her way back to the shopping cart. "We'll see you two soon, take care." She added as she made her leave with her daughter while waving her hand.
Stacie also waved her hand frantically with a bright smile on her face as she followed her mother.
"Yeah, see you soon, Mom."
"Take care," Cerys added as she waved the pair off with a warm smile on her face. Now with Callum's family gone, she went to lean against him again as she rested her head on his shoulder. "Seriously, your sister is just the cutest little thing."
"At first glance maybe, but she can have quite the attitude when she wants to." He replied as he glanced down at her. "Anyway, what have I told you about being too clingy in public."
The homestay giggled to herself as she stepped away from it. "Sorry, I just can't help myself around you, Beau. Guess I can make up for the lack of physical contact when we get home." She said to him in a suggestive tone.
The host shook his head to himself once more as he started pushing the shopping cart down one of the isles with the satyr in tow. "Come on, we might as well get the shopping out of the way. I'm getting tired of people staring at us like we've committed a crime."
"Oh, that eager to get home already?" Cerys asked in a sultry tone.
"Cerys!" He shouted in annoyance.
She couldn't help but laugh out loud at his reaction. She just enjoyed teasing her host way too much to miss out on it, though it was starting to grate on Callum a little too much for one day at least.
Not too long after they had lined up at the check-out so they could purchase their things and make a move on getting home, though the satyr was amazed by just how busy it was. "Wow, this place makes the markets back home look like a joke." She commented.
"Well, it is called a supermarket for a reason, Ceri." The host answered as he started putting items on the conveyor belt to be scanned. "Human technology can be so awesome at times; you sometimes take it for granted."
"Maybe, but I think you humans rely on technology a little too much sometimes. I mean imagine what would happen to your species if all of it stopped working suddenly."
Callum had to stop and think for a moment at her comment. If what she said were to happen, humanity would go downhill pretty fast. He also realised how reliant he was on things like his smartphone and laptop, for example, he literally couldn't imagine life without either at this point.
"…Yeah, no comment on that nightmarish scenario, thank you very much." He replied with a look of dread on his face.
Cerys giggled to herself at his reply. "Oh, quit worrying so much, it wouldn't be so bad if it happened. But just think about it, if nothing else at least you'd have me around to keep you from getting bored." She said in a suggestive tone.
*Sigh* "For the last time, Ceri. Can you please stop insinuating that you and I are-?"
"Hey, Cal. Long-time no see." The cashier at the till interjected.
The human and satyr pair looked back at where the cashier was seated to find a stunning elder devil woman staring at them with a smirk on her lips. Her skin was tanned and her eyes were a deep purple with black sclera and slit pupils. Her hair was also a deep purple which was tied into a long braid down her back with purple horns protruding from the sides of her head, which curled along the crown of her head with the tips of the horns pointing out to the sides at the ends at a sharp angle. She also had large purple bat-like wings protruding from her back as well as a long slender purple spade-tipped tail which protruded from just above her perky rump. She was wearing the store uniform, which wasn't all too flattering considering her curvaceous form, though the exposed cleavage caused by her large breasts was certainly a sight to behold.
"Oh, hey there, Phae," Callum replied to the elder devil. "guess it has been a while." He added with a light chuckle.
"And why did you keep me waiting so long?" She teased in a sultry tone as she repositioned herself to show more of her cleavage. "You know how much I enjoy our chats."
"Oh, what's this, Beau? Have you been hiding a mistress this whole time?" Cerys butted in with a teasing tone of voice.
The human groaned to himself at their teasing. "It's not like that. This is Phaedra, we met a while back when she started working here." He told his homestay as he gestured a hand towards the elder devil.
Phaedra raised a hand and waved at the satyr with a friendly smile. "Phaedra Lucifer, it's a pleasure."
Cerys smiled back as she held up a peace sign with her hand. "Cerys Spring, likewise."
The elder devil nodded in response before she returned her attention to the human of the group. "Cal, if you guys aren't busy, do you mind meeting up with me at the back of the store in a bit? I'll be on my break soon and I want us to catch up." She asked politely.
"Oh, sure. Cerys and I haven't got much planned today anyway," He replied before turning his attention towards his homestay. "if it's okay with you, Ceri."
"I don't mind, it sounds like fun." The satyr replied with a warm smile on her face.
"Awesome," The elder devil interjected. "I'll get you guys sorted then we can meet up around back."
"Sounds like a plan." The human responded.
With that they got all their shopping purchased and bagged up in a flash, and it didn't take the host and homestay long to load up their shopping in the pick-up truck the ICEP provided them with, though Callum was confused as to why he was given a pick-up instead of a normal car. Sure, it was a five-seater but he didn't see the point in having such a large backspace. Still, he couldn't complain about getting a free loan vehicle, which Amanda joked about it being his 'company car' during his time working as a host for the ICEP. With that, they packed their shopping away and quickly met up with Phaedra at the back of the store where they found her leaning against a wall with a lit cigarette in her hand. The trio were soon deep in conversation as the human was now standing right next to the elder devil, who took the opportunity to lean against him and rest her head on his shoulder as she took puffs from her cigarette, whilst Cerys was stood right on the other side of him, occasionally brushing up against him.
"So, you're a host now. Can't blame you with all the 'incentives' the government are offering." Phaedra said to him in a sultry tone as she gave him her sexiest stare.
"Yeah, he has more incentives than he realises," Cerys added before she leaned up against him to whisper into his ear. "don't you, Beau?"
Callum's whole face went bright red at their seductive teasing, which earnt a giggle from his homestay and a smug look from the elder devil. "All joking aside, it is pretty impressive what they're willing to offer you for signing up. The ICEP must be desperate for more hosts when you think about it." He replied as he did his best to keep his cool, despite the two extremely attractive liminals on either side of him.
"So, tell me, Cal. How far have you and Ceri gone anyway?" Phaedra asked him as she wrapped her free arm around his own and pulled it into her cleavage. "You two must've gotten to second base at the very least." She added with a smirk on her face.
"Sorry to disappoint you but we haven't done anything of the like, not through Ceri's like of trying though." The human answered in a slightly annoyed tone.
"You should see him at home." The satyr interjected. "He gets worked up just by me shaking my butt at him." She continued as a smirk also crossed her lips.
*Sigh* "She's persistent and determined if nothing else." Callum added with a slight huff.
"And so, she should be. You are quite the looker if I have to be honest." The elder devil said as she playfully prodded a finger against his cheek.
"Yeah, you're a cutie, Beau. I could just eat you all up." Cerys added in a suggestive tone as she pressed her chest against his side and rubbed a hand up against his chest.
"…You know, I'm starting to feel a little ganged up on here…"
His homestay giggled to herself before she wrapped her arms around his chest and gave him a gentle squeeze. "Oh, come on, Beau. You know you love it." She replied with a warm smile on her face.
Phaedra smirked to herself before she took another puff from her cigarette. "I quite agree. Considering Ceri and the company you keep, you seem to have a thing for 'horny' women."
The host couldn't help but groan to himself at her awful pun. "I think I've been interrogated enough for one day. Anyway, Phae, how are things going with your host lately?"
The elder devil took a long puff from her cigarette before she let out a long sigh, letting the smoke waft out of her mouth in the process. "Honestly, he's still kind of an ass, but at least he hasn't dared to try anything on with me." She said with a solemn look on her face. "I just wish I could have someone like you as a host."
"Can't say I'm surprised he hasn't risked trying anything." Cerys interrupted as she glanced at the demonic liminal. "I've heard that elder devils are pretty badass."
Phaedra stepped away from them before she turned to face the pair once more. She then raised her free hand with her palm open and facing up. After a moment, arcs of demonic energy sparked across her arm and coalesced into an orb of pure crimson energy floating just above her palm. She then smirked at them as she let the crimson orb orbit around her.
"I suppose this is what you meant when you said 'Badass'?" She said as her face took on a smug look.
The pair couldn't help but stare in awe at what she had just performed. This was the first time either of them had seen anyone perform true magic. "Okay, colour me impressed," Callum spoke as his eyes were focused on the orb orbiting around Phaedra.
"I'll say, it looks like it could do some real damage," Cerys added as she also kept track of the orb.
Satisfied with their reactions, Phaedra opened the palm of her hand once more as the orb returned to it, and then in an instant, the energy dissipated and coursed back into her. "That's just a simple party trick compared to what my Chaos magic is capable of."
From the corner of her eye, she spotted a rat scurrying around one of the trash containers nearby, trying it's best to get into one of the bags left out. With a look of annoyance, she stuck out her index and middle fingers of her free hand together and pointed them towards the rat as chaotic energy coalesced around them. In almost an instant, a small bolt of chaos energy fired from her fingers and struck the ground near the rat, blasting a small hole in the concrete floor. This was enough to startle the rodent as it scampered off for its life into some bushes nearby.
*Sigh* "Damned rodents." The elder devil complained to herself as she casually made her way back to the pair and leaned against the wall right next to Callum once more. "I swear I'll blast that thing to smithereens one of these days."
"Kind of surprised you missed your shot right now," Cerys commented.
"It was a warning shot. I'm not exactly in the mood to clean up rat guts right now."
The human of the group had a worried look on his face as he glanced at the elder devil. "Remind me never to get on your bad side, Phae."
Phaedra looked back at him with a smirk on her face as she gently wrapped her tail around his leg. "No need for you to worry, I'd never get mad at you." She replied with a wink.
With that, she untangled herself from him and finished her cigarette and flicked it into the air. She extended her two fingers once more and fired a small chaos bolt at the cigarette butt, vaporizing it into ash.
"Okay, now you're just showing off." The satyr said as she locked eyes with the elder devil.
"I aim to please." She replied with a wink, earning a groan from Cerys at the terrible pun. "Anyway, I should get back to work before my supervisor starts bitching at me again."
"Yeah, we should get going too," Callum said as he and his homestay moved from the wall and were about to leave. "Don't want to let the frozen goods thaw out."
"Hold it," Phaedra said as she crossed her arms under her breasts and locked eyes with the human. "you know the drill, Cal. I want my goodbye hug." She said to him with a smirk on her lips.
The host sighed to himself as he started making his way back to her. "Alright, but no funny business."
She gave him a warm smile as she moved up to him and wrapped her arms around him as she rested her chin on his shoulder. He soon wrapped his arms around her and squeezed her gently as she pressed herself into him as much as she could. She then let a smirk cross her lips as she slid her tail around his waist and started slipping the spade-tip under his jeans and briefs to caress his bare buttocks, though the human was less than pleased at the sudden sensation.
"Hey, watch where you put that tail!" He protested in an embarrassed tone.
The elder devil laughed to herself as she extracted her tail from his underpants and tightened her hold on him. "But you're just too much fun to tease though." She replied in a teasing tone as she wrapped her tail around his waist for now.
The pair stayed like this for some time as Callum's face was getting redder by the second. Not long after Phaedra separated herself from his with some reluctance and a slight sense of relief from the human.
"That should do for now, but don't forget to come over and visit when you can, you hear?" She asked him with a smirk on her lips.
"Sure thing, need to do a weekly shop anyway."
"Good," She replied as she started making her way to the back entrance of the store. "I'll see you two later, and don't be a stranger." She added with a wave and a wink.
"Yeah, see you soon, Phae," Callum responded with a wave of his hand.
"Later, Phae," Cerys added as she did the same.
With the elder devil now gone the host and homestay started to make their way back to their car, though not before the satyr could wrap her arms around his own and pressed it in between her cleavage. "Well, that was fun. Maybe we should invite her over sometime."
"That is if her host lets her." He replied as he looked down at where his arm was being held. "And what have I told you about getting intimate in public."
"Oh, trust me, Beau. You'll know when I'm getting intimate." She answered in a seductive tone before moving closer to whisper in his ear. "And seeing that Phae was all over you just now, I feel like I'm owed a cuddling session when we get back home."
"Not that you need an excuse to do it anyway." He said as he furrowed his eyebrows at her.
She giggled to herself before winking at him. "You know it."
Callum just shook his head at her teasing before they separated and got into the pick-up truck, and they were soon on their way back home after a particularly exhausting shopping trip for the host. It seemed that even the most mundane of activities was going to be somewhat interesting with Cerys around.
A/N: Hi everyone. I know, it's been nearly three months since my last update and I apologise for that.
In regards to one of the new characters I've introduced this chapter, Stacie, I've been wanting to try my hand at writing a deaf character, which has introduced some interesting challenges. I will mention though that anytime she's around, presume that someone, more than likely Callum himself will be translating for her as it'll be a little tedious to have someone else saying what she's trying to say, plus, whenever anyone is using Sign language I'll be writing their lines in bold. Hopefully, it works out the way I want it to.
As for Phaedra, she'll be a bit of a linking point with this story and MON Squad Bravo, seeing I plan on having her being a member of House Lucifer, which will be one of the major houses in the Demonic Realms, as expect some cross-overs at some point in both stories, even if they're only minor events.
Anyway, feel free to leave a follow or favourite if you've enjoyed the story so far and don't forget to drop a review or any suggestions you might have.
Thank you very much for reading my story and I'll see you next time!
