A/N: Hey everyone, I know it's been a long wait but here's the latest chapter. I will still be adding to this story but I will be focussing more on MON - Squad Bravo, for the time being, so expect updates to be infrequent at best.

Hopefully, you all enjoy this chapter and I'll see you soon.


It was early morning at the Spencer residence. It had been a couple of days since the bank heist and the host and homestay living there had finally regained some sense of normality after the frightening ordeal. Callum was still sleeping in his room, seeing as he and Cerys had no immediate pressing matters to deal with today, apart from Amanda Finn checking up on them later on, so breakfast could wait a little longer. He started to stir from his slumber as light cracking through the curtains hit his face. As he slowly regained his senses, his eyes cracked open to see Cerys sleeping next to him as they were spooning, the satyr in question being the little spoon. Callum smiled to himself as he tightened his grip around her waist and held her close. Cerys' eyes flickered open at his touch, feeling him press up against her back. She smirked to herself as she ground her buttocks up against his crotch teasingly.

Callum groaned out loud as she teased him. "Cut it out, Ceri. It's too early."

His homestay giggled at his response as she shifted herself to face him and placed a hand on his cheek. "Good morning to you too, Beau." She replied with reddened cheeks before she pressed her lips to his.

Their lips started smacking together as she pressed herself against her host and pushed him onto his back as she straddled him and deepened their kiss. Callum had wrapped both his arms tightly around her waist at this point as she clasped her hands tightly onto his shoulders. After a moment their lips parted as they caught their breath, the satyr resting her head against his shoulder as he rubbed a hand up and down her back.

Cerys quietly moaned to herself as she nuzzled her cheek against her host's shoulder. "Mornings like this are definitely the best."

"It's hard to argue with you there," Callum replied with a satisfied smile on his face. "Though we still need to be careful, Am could easily walk in on us one of these days…" He added as his cheeks went red, imagining his coordinator/childhood friend walking in on the pair of them messing around with each other.

The satyr propped herself on her elbows as she looked down at her now-boyfriend with a cheeky grin on her lightly tanned face. "Maybe she's just interested in joining us on our little sexual escapades." She said as her cheeks had flushed a bright red, Callum could only imagine what sexy scenarios she was concocting in that lewd mind of hers.

The host's embarrassment grew as he broke eye contact with his homestay. "…Yeah, something tells me that that's not going to happen. And besides, she's only a friend to me, nothing more…"

The satyr merely gave him a smirk before she pecked his cheek sensually. She continued to pepper him with kisses from his cheek, across his jawline and down the side of his neck as she started sliding a hand down his chest and placed it on top of the bulge forming in his briefs.

"You can't lie to me, Beau," She teased as she started rubbing her hand up and down the concealed bulge. "Your 'not-so-little' trouser snake seems to like her that way."

"It's like that because you won't stop messing with it…" The human complained to himself.

Cerys giggled to herself as she moved up to whisper into his ear. "Then maybe it's about time we got ourselves properly acquainted then." She whispered seductively as she readied to slide her hand down his briefs.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang, causing the pair to freeze in place momentarily. The blonde satyr groaned to herself as she removed her hand from his bulge and fell on top of him, burying her face in the crook of his neck, unhappy that her fun time with her Beau had been interrupted. "…It was just getting to the good part too…" She complained out loud.

Callum chuckled to himself at her behaviour and started stroking the back of her head soothingly. "Well, you knew she was going to show up today, Ceri."

His homestay stayed still for a moment to enjoy the affection she was receiving as she smiled to herself. She then kissed his neck before she begrudgingly rolled off of him and got out of bed. "I know, but you'd at least think she'd give us more time to enjoy ourselves."

"I believe your idea of enjoyment is what Am is trying to prevent,"

The satyr pouted to herself as she stood up straight. "I should put in a complaint." She stayed there for a moment as she pressed her hands to the wool surrounding her neck. "I think I'll take the time to shear this thing off; it gets a little too stuffy during the summer months."

"Yeah, then I'll play the good host and greet our guest," Her host replied as he got himself out of bed.

"At least make yourself look presentable before you head downstairs, Beau," Cerys told him with flushed cheeks as she glanced down at the bulge in his briefs once more.

"Yeah, I think Am would have a minor fit if she saw me as I am right now…" He said in an embarrassed tone.

The satyr giggled to herself as she started making her way out of his room. "See you in a bit, Beau."

"Yeah, see you in a bit," Callum replied as he went to the wardrobe to find some jeans to put on.

Now fully dressed and looking a lot less dishevelled, Callum quickly made his way downstairs and made his way to the front door as the doorbell rang once more. "Just a second!" He shouted as he reached the door and unlocked it.

With a twist of the doorknob, he pulled it open with an apologetic look on his face. "Sorry about that, Am. I was lying in, so I needed to…" He trailed off as he noticed that Amanda wasn't alone this time.

The coordinator stood there casually in her black suit, but he also saw that Phaedra, their mutual elder devil acquaintance, was with her with a suitcase in one hand and a travel bag hanging from one of her shoulders. The demonic woman silently gave him a warm smile before she dropped her bags and rushed towards him, now suddenly wrapping her arms tightly around his neck and her spade-tipped tail around his waist as she pressed her cheek to his. Unbeknownst to him though, the devil had tears now trickling down her face.

"…Well, this is a nice surprise…" He muttered to himself in disbelief as he wrapped his arms around her waist and held her tightly, causing the woman in his arms to tighten her grip on him more, but not so much that it was uncomfortable.

Phaedra wept to herself as tears continued to roll down her cheeks. "I'm so glad you're alright, Cal." She barely whispered as she began to nuzzle his cheek affectionately.

Amanda was still standing behind the elder devil as she gave her childhood friend a warm smile. "As you can see, Phaedra was really worried about you. Though, it's nice to see that you're on the mend now."

The host had a confused look on his face as Phaedra began to relax into their embrace, content in the fact that the human that had saved her was in good health once more. "Not to sound rude, but I wasn't expecting Phae to accompany you today."

Phaedra pulled back slightly so they were now face-to-face as she smirked at the confused human. "That's because I'll be moving in with you and Ceri today." She answered as she playfully booped him on the nose with her index finger.

Callum quirked an eyebrow at the devil. "…Run that by me again?"

Amanda groaned out loud to get his attention. "Callie, don't you remember the email I sent you last night about Phaedra being assigned to be your new homestay? There were no other available hosts in town right now, plus, you did sign up to be eligible to take on multiple homestays." She explained to him in an annoyed tone.

The host now had a panicked look on his face as he fished his cell phone from his jean pocket and quickly looked at his emails, much to the amusement of the elder devil still clinging to him. It didn't take him long to find the email in question and quickly read through it. "Huh, fair enough." He then put his phone away and returned his attention to Phaedra. "Well, Phae, I'd be happy to have you stay with us." He told his new homestay with a massive grin on his face.

Phaedra was overjoyed as she tightened their embrace again and pressed her cheek to his once more. "You have no idea how happy I am to hear that. You won't regret having me around." With that, she finally released him from her grasp and went to pick up her travel bag and suitcase.

"Thanks for doing this on such short notice, Callie," Amanda spoke up as the elder devil gathered her belongings. "I know I said that you were the only host in town available, but as soon as she heard that you'd be willing to host her, she was unwilling to accept anyone else at that point." The coordinator let out a sigh. "Phaedra really does think the world of you."

"I honestly don't think I'm all that special myself," Callum half-heartedly protested at his friend's statement.

The redhead merely smirked back at him. "How many people do you know that would throw themselves into danger to protect someone, despite how stupid of an idea it may be?"

The host furrowed his eyebrows at his coordinator. "I'm not sure whether that was meant to be a compliment or an insult."

Amanda winked at him teasingly. "Take it however you like it."

Phaedra had placed the strap of her travel bag over one shoulder and had her suitcase in hand once more as she turned to face the pair. "I'm ready whenever you are."

Callum nodded at her as he made way for his two guests to enter his home. "Make yourselves at home, I can make a start on breakfast if you want."

"Why that would be lovely, thank you," The elder devil replied as she walked through the front door.

"I really shouldn't stay long," Amanda said to the host as they walked into the house together before Callum shut the door behind them. "I've still got several visits I need to make today. Though, I wouldn't mind a coffee while we finalise the paperwork."

Callum smiled back at the redhead. "Coming right up."

Just as the group were about to make their way to the dining area, Cerys started coming down the stairs, now wearing a tight-fitting black tank top and low-cut denim shorts. She had also sheared the wool from around her neck and was now wearing a red choker around it with a little bell attached to it. The bell chimed as the satyr descended the stairs, though she paused halfway down as she noticed the elder devil now standing in the hallway.

"Phae?" Cerys' eyes widened in realisation before she quickened her pace down the stairs. "What're you doing here?"

Phaedra smiled back at the blonde as she dropped her bags to her sides. "I'm moving in today, surprise."

Cerys now had a massive grin on her face as she reached the bottom of the stair and glomped onto the elder devil, wrapping her arms tightly around her neck. "That's great!" She exclaimed as Phaedra returned the hug. "You're better off without that oversized creep anyway!"

The elder devil relaxed into the hug with a content smile on her face. "A girl could get used to all of this affection."

Callum couldn't help but smile at his two homestays, happy that they were getting along so well. "Ceri, do you mind showing Phae to the spare bedroom for me, please?"

The satyr looked up at him with a wide grin on her face. "Sure, thing, Beau." She separated herself from Phaedra, though she paused momentarily as she locked eyes with her host once more and flicked her index finger against the bell hanging off her choker, causing it to ring once more. "What do you think? Pretty cute, right?"

The host's cheeks went red, despite the smile still on his face as he rubbed the back of his head. "Yeah, it's really cute, Ceri."

Amanda, on the other hand, had furrowed her eyebrows at the young satyr in front of her. "I will admit, it does suit you. Though, I was under the impression that female satyrs only shaved the wool from around their necks once they've found a suitable mate."

Cerys flinched at her words and her eyes widened with worry in realisation. She suddenly panicked as she broke eye contact with her coordinator, her cheeks now bright red with embarrassment.

Callum now had a shocked look on his face as a result of Cerys' blunder.

Phaedra had a smirk on her face as she looked towards her fellow homestay, giving the satyr a knowing look. "So, how far have you and Cal gone?" She asked shamelessly.

The blonde had gone all meek at this point, now unable to look anyone in the eye. "…Well…you know… we're kind of close…Beau and I… so…" She muttered in an embarrassed tone, knowing that she had inadvertently revealed what she and Callum were doing in secret.

Callum could only groan in frustration as he buried his face in both of his hands. It seemed like the jig was up for them, and now they were going to be harshly reprimanded by the ICEP, and in the worst-case scenario, he would go to jail and would potentially never see either Cerys or Phaedra ever again. He slowly slid his hands down his face and widened his fingers so he could see once more. He looked over at Amanda, who was currently giving him what could only be described as a death glare.

The host sighed to himself as he removed his hands from his face. "Before we do anything we might regret, can we go sit down, calm down and discuss this like reasonable adults?" He asked his old childhood friend in the hopes of resolving this situation peacefully.

The coordinator was still giving him a death glare, and rightly so. She had trusted her long-time friend to take care of Cerys like she was family, but unsurprisingly to her, he had gone and done exactly what she had asked him not to do. To say she was furious with him was a gross understatement.

"Funny, I was about to ask you the same thing," She replied, just barely keeping her emotions under control. She was still on the clock so she had to remain professional, much to Callum's fortune right now. "But we're going to have a serious discussion about your behaviour as a host for the ICEP." The redhead added as she subconsciously clenched her fists tightly.

Callum, for his part, could only gulp with worry as he imagined a dark aura now emanating from her. "Yes, Ma'am."


All four of them were sitting at the dining room table now, each with a cup of coffee in front of them. Callum and Cerys had pensive looks on their faces, both worrying about what would happen to them now that they'd been found out. Amanda sat with her elbows propped on the table and her hands currently massaging her temples, now at her wit's end trying to figure out what to do with the mischievous human and satyr pair sitting on the opposite side of the table to her. Phaedra merely sat next to the coordinator, quietly sipping her coffee and enjoying the aroma drifting from her warm mug, despite the tense situation around her.

"Mmm, this is really good," The elder devil finally broke the silence with a content smile before turning her attention towards her host. "Cal, you have to tell me where you get this stuff."

Callum had momentarily been freed from his thoughts at his new homestay's prodding. "Oh, it's just the instant stuff we get from where you work."

"Hmm," Phaedra mused to herself before she took another tentative sip of her coffee. "As much of a pain in the ass it is to work at that place, they do sell some good stuff there." She said, hoping some small talk would help lighten the mood. "Either that or you're an excellent hand at making the perfect coffee." She complimented him as she gave him a wink.

The host's cheeks had gone slightly red as he rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "I'm glad you like it. Thanks, Phae."

Feeling that she now regained some of her composure, Amanda removed her hands from her temples and placed them on the table in front of her, the act seemingly grabbing everyone else's attention. She wasted no time as she immediately looked eyes with Callum. "What in the world were you thinking, Callum?" She asked him in an irate tone. "I asked you not to go messing around with Cerys, but you just couldn't keep your hands to yourself, could you?"

Callum couldn't bear to look her in the eyes as he broke his gaze with her out of sheer guilt. He knew that she trusted him not to make a move on Cerys, but with what had happened over the past month between him and the satyr, how could he not develop feelings for her? How could he ignore her advances and her sweet nature? Cerys was the best thing that had ever happened to him and it annoyed him that the government was telling him that she was a no-go.

"I know you're angry, Am," He eventually replied as he built up the nerve to look her in the eyes once more. "But how can the government expect to put two healthy young adults together and not expect anything to happen? Cerys and I-"

"It's my fault!" Cerys blurted out suddenly, much to everyone's surprise. "I was the one that was constantly teasing him and making moves on him and Callum, the sweet guy that he is, couldn't bear to shut me out, even if it meant getting into trouble with you guys." She stated with tears welling up in her eyes.

The coordinator furrowed her eyebrows at the young satyr. "Honestly, I was expecting more restraint on your part, especially with what you've personally been through."

Cerys had started weeping to herself as she wiped away her tears. "I'm sorry… I'm so, so sorry…"

"Hey, you've done nothing wrong, Ceri," Callum spoke up as he raised a hand to rub her back comfortingly. "You shouldn't have to feel bad about expressing how you feel about someone."

His homestay looked back at him as she began to calm herself down, a warm smile now curling onto her lips at his comforting words. "…Beau…"

"You two know that isn't the reason I'm making a big issue of this," Amanda spoke up to get their attention. "The amendments haven't been put into effect yet and I don't want the two of you to get any heat for doing anything you shouldn't be. Don't even get me started on the political BS the ICEP would have to deal with if you guys get caught in the act."

Callum locked eyes with her and furrowed his eyebrows at the redhead. "It shouldn't be an issue if we're doing anything in the privacy of our home."

"But it's my job to make sure you don't do anything that'll get you into trouble. What do you think will happen if you end up getting Cerys pregnant?"

Callum moved to protest but he couldn't, realising that his friend had a valid point. He and Cerys would be royally screwed if he knocked up his homestay. It wasn't just about him anymore; it was about Cerys too.

"If I may interject," Phaedra spoke up as she raised a hand to get the group's attention. "Miss Finn, don't you think you're blowing this a little out of proportion?"

The coordinator glanced over at the elder devil. "What do you mean?" She asked with a questioning look on her face.

"Wouldn't it be a good idea to enquire how far they've gone before 'jumping the gun' as you humans like to say?"

Amanda's face had gone bright red at this point, the stern commanding presence she had up to this point been replaced by one of an embarrassed girl who avoided lewd conversation like the plague. "Th-That's not the point!" She stammered at the elder devil. "Th-Th-This sort of relationship isn't appropriate between a host and a homestay and you should know that!"

Callum and Cerys started to calm down a little as their coordinator had seemingly lost her imposing presence from before. The host had forgotten how much of a prude his old friend could be at times.

Now sensing an opening, the elder devil woman gave her a knowing look as a smirk crossed her lips. "If anything, I'd say you're jealous of their relationship." She teased without any mercy.

"I-I-It's not like that!" Amanda protested. "I-I certainly do not feel that way towards Mr Spencer. A-And besides, there should be no such relationship between a host and their coordinator!"

"Are you sure?" Phaedra asked in a suggestive tone as her tail swayed lazily behind her. "Your face and your mannerisms might suggest otherwise."

The government agent was a stammering wreck at this point, unable to find a way out of the position she had been put in by the young elder devil.

"Phae," Callum cut in to save the redhead from her current situation. "I think you've teased Am more than enough for today."

Phaedra was now playfully pouting at her host. "But Cal, I was just starting to enjoy myself."

Amanda sighed in relief, now that Callum had succeeded in putting a stop to the elder devil's teasing. "Thank you for stepping in, Callum."

The host smiled back at his coordinator. "No problem." Though his smile soon dropped once more as he picked up where they left off before Phaedra's interruption. "As for what's happening between me and Ceri, the furthest we've gotten so far is cuddling and kissing, but I believe that what the two of us have now is genuine."

"He's right," The young satyr cut in. "Ever since I moved in, he's treated me with such care and I've been unable to get him off my mind. I mean, I'd love to get more intimate with Beau at some point, but I can wait if I have to. I just want to stay with him." She said as she glanced over at her host with reddened cheeks and a loving smile on her lips.

Callum gave a loving smile in return and silently placed a hand on top of hers, squeezing it gently.

Amanda was a little heartbroken at this point. She wanted her friend to be happy, but he was currently in breach of the Exchange Accord for fraternising with his homestay. She wished that she could be in Cerys' position right now and be the one loved by Callum, she was the one who had strong feelings for the guy for all these years, even before liminal-kind first revealed themselves. But Cerys looked so happy right now as she squeezed Callum's hand in return as the pair stared at each other lovingly. Amanda couldn't bear to break them up, especially with everything that the poor satyr had been through up to this point.

The coordinator eventually let out a defeated sigh, earning everyone's attention once more. "Normally, I'd have to report this to my superiors, but I'm willing to overlook your relationship for the time being."

Callum stared wide-eyed at his old friend, both shocked and relieved that she wasn't going to rat himself and Cerys out to the ICEP. "Wait, seriously?"

Cerys was tearing up again as a joyous smile formed on her lips. "Thank you so much, I honestly can't tell you how happy I am right now."

"But," Amanda cut in, her tone now stern and imposing which caused the couple to flinch in reaction. "I need you two to reframe from going any further than you've already gone so far. That means no fondling, and absolutely no sex whatsoever. Do I make myself clear?"

Both the host and the satyr had panicked looks on their faces as they nodded frantically at her question. "Yeah, crystal," Callum replied.

The redhead gave the pair a warm smile at their affirmation. "Good, then I'll hold both of you to your word."

Cerys had a massive grin on her face as she let out a squeal of joy. "This is great, Beau!" She exclaimed as she leaned over to her host and tightly wrapped her arms around his neck. "We get to stay together!" She added before she started peppering his cheek with loving kisses.

"Hey, take it easy, Ceri," He replied with a joyous smile as he rubbed her back comfortingly, though the satyr ignored his request and continued with her ministrations.

While the couple were preoccupied, Phaedra glanced over at the coordinator once more with a smirk on her lips. "It's nice that you're letting them off the hook for now, though I'm guessing you only did it because you've got a huge crush on Cal yourself."

Amanda's cheeks when bright red at the elder devil's accusation. Her only response was to look away from Phaedra with an embarrassed look on her face. Phaedra herself took note that the government agent did not deny the accusation.

Seeing that his friend was in a bind once more, Callum gave his new homestay a stern look. "Phae lay off already."

Phaedra merely replied to his scolding by winking at him and sticking out her tongue playfully.

Cerys stopped kissing her host's cheek momentarily as she looked over at the redhead and giggled to herself. "You know, Amanda, if you're that interested in Beau, then I don't mind sharing him with you."

Amanda's whole face had gone bright red now at the satyr's declaration. "I-I-I told you, it isn't like that!" She exclaimed in embarrassment.

"And you can stop it too, Ceri," Callum admonished the satyr playfully as he prodded a finger into her side.

Cerys was giggling to herself again at his teasing. "I'm sorry, but I really wanted to get a cute reaction from her too." She defended herself before she planted another loving kiss on his cheek.

"Well, that's enough for now. Anyway, I'm sure Am and I have some paperwork regarding Phae moving in with us to sort out. Would you mind showing her to her room and helping her unpack for me, please?"

The satyr gave him a more sensual smile this time as she gave him the bedroom eyes. "Sure thing, Beau." She replied before she leaned in and pressed her lips to his, holding the kiss for a moment or two before she pulled away and stood to her hooves. She then looked over towards her new housemate as she gave her an endearing grin. "If you would like to follow me, Phae, I'll show you to your room. I'll even carry one of your bags for you."

Phaedra gave the satyr a warm smile of her own as she got up from her chair. "Thanks, Ceri. I appreciate the help."

With that, the two liminal women made their way out of the dining room, now leaving the two humans to their thoughts.

Now that she had time to calm herself down, Amanda cleared her throat to get the host's attention. "Now that that's been dealt with, I have a couple of forms for you to sign in regards to becoming Phaedra's new host." She opened up her briefcase and handed him the appropriate forms.

Callum took the forms and quickly read through them, now familiar with their content as he had to sign the same forms when accepting to become Cerys' host. "Same thing as with Cerys?"

"Pretty much," As Callum started to sign the forms, Amanda noticed that his right shoulder looked a little stiff as he was writing his signature on one of the forms. "I've been meaning to ask," She spoke up to get his attention. "How is your shoulder holding up?"

At her questioning, the host raised his left hand to rub his right shoulder. "I mean, it's still sore. But other than that, it's fine."

Amanda's cheeks turned a faint red as she broke eye contact with him. "Could I have a look at it quickly?"

Callum quirked an eyebrow at her. "Sure, I guess." He replied, albeit in a somewhat unsure tone.

She locked eyes with him once more and gave him a smile before getting up from her seat. She moved to the other side of the table and took a seat next to him, moving the chair so she was sitting as close to him as possible. Callum stayed still as Amanda gently pulled down on the collar of his shirt, now exposing his right shoulder to the open air and revealing the scar that was now present there. The redhead had a look of melancholy on her face as she inspected it, trying to imagine the pain he had gone through when he got shot in the shoulder.

Callum saw how upset she looked and decided to try and reassure her. "It still hurts a little, but between Phaedra's magic and the healing balm that MON agent used on it, it's fine now, so don't worry about it."

Despite his best efforts her eyes began to tear up, though she had a smile on her face once more. Before he could question her, she leaned forward and pulled him into a tight embrace, wrapping one arm around his neck and the other under his arm to grasp at the back of his shoulder tightly as she buried her face in the crook of his neck and she began to weep to herself.

Callum was initially surprised by the sudden embrace but he soon shook himself from his stupor and wrapped his arms around her tightly, one around her waist and the other on her back as he used his free hand to stroke her hair comfortingly in an attempt to calm her down. "Hey, it's okay, Am. I'm good, honest."

Amanda continued to weep to herself as she pressed herself against him as much as she could. "…Callie… I'm just glad you're okay…" She said as she began to nuzzle against him.

Callum was now smiling to himself as the pair relaxed into their embrace.

They held each other like this for a short while, but soon enough Amanda had calmed down a bit and reluctantly pulled away from the host. "Sorry," She started as she wiped away her tears. "That was really unprofessional of me."

"Hey, you can act as casually as you want around me, Am," Callum replied with a cheeky grin as he continued signing the forms in front of him.

The coordinator looked away from him with reddened cheeks once more. "It's not that simple, Callie. I'm not supposed to show any favouritism to any hosts or homestays."

"Even when the host in question has been your best friend for practically our whole lives?"

"Especially life-long friends, even if you discount the five years that we lost contact with each other…"

Callum's face went red now as he averted his gaze from her. "Yeah, I'm sorry I didn't keep in touch with you…"

Amanda looked back at him to see this guilt-ridden face. She couldn't help but smile back at him as she punched him lightly, much to the host's confusion. "At least we found each other again, which is lucky for you."

Callum merely smiled back at her, happy that she didn't hold a grudge against him for leaving Boise with his family back then. Now that he had finished signing the forms, he picked them up and handed them to the government agent. "There, that should do it."

The redhead took the forms from him and quickly looked them over with a look of satisfaction. "Everything looks in order; that'll keep my superiors happy at least." With that, she put them in her briefcase and got up from her seat. "Well, I should make a move now. I've still got several other host families to see today."

"Let me walk you to the door," Callum replied as he stood to his feet and followed her.

As the pair reached the front door, Amanda stopped and placed her briefcase down by the door and turned around to face Callum once more. Without a word she pulled him into another hug, wrapping her arms tightly around his torso and she rested her chin on his shoulder. Callum silently wrapped his arms around her and held her close, enjoying the embrace with his life-long friend.

"Hey, what happened to not showing favouritism?" He asked with a smirk on his face.

Amanda smiled to herself and closed her eyes as she tightened her grip on him. "You're still my best friend, Callie. I can show a little affection to my friends, right?"

The host snickered to himself as he rubbed her back comfortingly. "Yeah, I'm not complaining."

The coordinator's cheeks flushed red at the affection she was receiving before she turned her head to face him and whisper into his ear. "Please, just be careful. I worry about you."

Without even thinking, she pressed her lips to his cheek, much to his surprise. It was already too late by the time she realised what she was doing. Her eyes widened in realisation and her whole face went bright red as she pulled her head back and looked him in the eyes, the pair still holding each other in their embrace. Callum's face was also bright red, not expecting such an act from the redhead as he stared back at her with widened eyes also.

"…Am? What was that all about?" He asked with a look of confusion on her face.

Amanda started to panic to herself. She just wanted to hug him, so why did she kiss him on the cheek out of nowhere. What was she even thinking when she did it? They had known each other for years and not once did they ever kiss each other before, so why now? She soon grew flustered to the point that she couldn't bear to be so close to him right now.

She suddenly pulled away from Callum and made to pick up her briefcase. "I'm so sorry, but I should really get going now!" She exclaimed, now unable to keep her emotions contained.

"Hold on, Am," Callum moved to try and stop her. "Is there something you're not telling me?"

"I've taken enough of your time already!" She ignored his question and hurriedly opened the front door. "I'll see you soon, Callie!" With that, Amanda rushed out the door and slammed it behind her, preventing Callum from following her.

The host just stood there in silence in the middle of the entrance hallway, trying to get his head around what just happened. In all the years they knew each other, that was the first time she ever gave him a kiss of any sort. What was going through her mind when she kissed his cheek? He wasn't entirely sure himself, but it was now obvious to him that Amanda had stronger feelings for him than she let on, though he was well aware that she had a bad habit of not being honest with herself at the best of times. Callum just hoped that she wasn't too stressed out about the whole situation between him and Cerys.

"Hey, Beau," The satyr in question called out as she was making her way downstairs. "Is everything alright between you and Amanda?" She asked with a concerned look on her face.

Callum looked up at her, looking utterly bemused. "I'm not sure. She hugged me goodbye, but she kissed me on the cheek out of nowhere before she freaked out and rushed out the house before I could find out what was bothering her." He replied as he rubbed the back of his head.

Cerys smirked to herself as she reached the bottom of the stairs and stood to her host's side. "If you ask me, it sounds like someone's in love with you."

The human's cheeks went red at her statement. "I'm not entirely sure about that. It's only been a few days since I got shot and I'm guessing that she's being a little more protective of me than usual."

The blonde couldn't help but chuckle to herself at his explanation. "Are all guys seriously this dense when it comes to a woman's feelings?"

"It's not that simple, Ceri. Am and I have been friends for practically our whole lives, it's hard to see someone romantically when you've known them for so long."

"It sounds like an excuse to me," Cerys retorted as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed herself up against his chest. "Why not give her a chance?"

Callum quirked an eyebrow at his homestay. "There's not a lot I can do if she won't admit how she feels. Besides, I've already got you now."

Cerys smiled lovingly at him. "I was serious when I told her that I wouldn't mind sharing you. Plus, I can tell that you like her too."

"You do realise most humans don't usually practice polygamy, right?"

"And why should that stop you?" She asked in a sultry tone as she gave him a wink. "I think you could handle a harem just fine."

"That's easy for you to say, Ceri," he said in an embarrassed tone. "You're not the one with multiple women making a pass at you…"

She gave him a loving look once more. "Seriously, Beau, you should have more confidence in yourself." She then leaned in and gave him a chaste kiss on the lips, much to his enjoyment. "I just want to see both of you happy, that's all."

Callum couldn't help but give his girlfriend a loving smile in return. "Well, there's not a lot I can do on that front for today, but I'll think about it at least."

Cerys couldn't help but grin at her now-boyfriend. "Good boy." She pulled him into another kiss and their lips smacked together briefly before she pulled away from their embrace. "As much as I'd like to keep doing this with you, I think I should make a start on breakfast for us. Also, Phae asked if you could talk to her when you got a chance."

Callum smirked at her and gave her a nod. "Will do; I'll see you in a bit." He said before he started making his way upstairs.

The satyr responded by giving him a wink and a wave. "See you in a bit, Beau; good luck up there."

Callum now found himself standing in front of what was now Phaedra's bedroom. He could hear her humming to herself from outside, presumably occupying herself with packing up her belongings. Not finding any reason to hesitate, the human rasped his hand against the door a couple of times to gain her attention.

"Hey Phae, it's me. Cerys said you wanted to talk."

"Yeah, come on in, Cal," The elder devil replied in a friendly tone.

After a short pause, Callum turned the knob on the door and swung it open. The room was still fairly bare for the most part with only the basics like a double bed with a nightstand, a set of drawers by the wall nearest the door and a sizable wardrobe at the far end of the room. The elder devil was currently in front of said wardrobe with its doors wide open as she was hanging up some of her clothes. It was then he noticed that Phaedra was currently topless, though thankfully her back was turned to him right now.

Without any shame though, Phaedra turned to face him with a smirk on her face as her D-cup breasts swayed freely, unconfined by any clothing, not even a bra. "Hey there. Please, take a seat on the bed."

Callum quirked an eyebrow at her, trying his best not to stare at her breasts. "Phae, is there a reason why you're currently topless? Not that I'm complaining, but don't you mind me seeing you like this?" He asked as he tried his best to keep his composure.

Phaedra giggled to herself at his current state of embarrassment. "I don't mind at all; we've been through a fair bit together as is, so I don't mind you looking."

The host took a moment to glance at them. He had to admit that he liked how firm and perky they looked and he could only imagine how soft they must be. He shook his head to try and free himself of his perverse thoughts.

"Sorry, but can you put something on?" He asked the elder devil. "As nice as they are, they're distracting me to the point that I can focus on anything else." He added as his cheeks went bright red.

The elder devil was enjoying this round of teasing her new host and she placed her hands under her breasts to lift them up slightly as she gave him a seductive look. "Oh, you like them that much, Cal?"

Callum reluctantly looked away from her and her melons in a vain attempt to retain some dignity. "If I say yes, will you put a top on already?"

Phaedra giggled to herself once more as she moved her hands from her breasts and unfurled one of her wings to cover them from view. "I appreciate the compliment; I'll let you know when you can look again."

She moved to her chest of drawers and pulled the top drawer open. She pulled her wing away from her chest and pulled out a black sleeveless shirt before she started to put it on. She tucked her wings under and popped them out of the two long slits that ran down the back of her shirt as she pulled it down over herself.

"You can look now," Phaedra told her host with a smile on her face.

Callum looked back towards her and let out a sigh of relief, much to the elder devil's amusement. "Okay, thank you, Phae. Now, did you want to talk to me about something, or was this all some elaborate ploy to tease me?"

The she-devil couldn't help but smirk back at him as she walked up to her host and pressed a finger to his chest. "Why not both?" She said as she dragged her finger down lightly and gave him a wink.

Callum furrowed his eyebrows at him and groaned in annoyance.

More giggles came from the beautiful elder devil in front of him. "Yes, Cal, I did wish to speak with you about something." She then lifted both her hands and placed them on his shoulders. "Now please, take a seat on the bed." She requested as she lightly pushed against his shoulders and guided him towards the bed.

Unable to resist her, Callum allowed himself to be guided by the elder devil. They soon reached the side of the bed and Phaedra gently pushed down on his shoulders, urging him to sit down. He complied as he lowered himself and got comfortable, though the she-devil was still grasping at his shoulders and their faces were mere inches away from each other.

"Good boy," Phaedra said with a smirk as she tapped her finger against the tip of his nose playfully. Now satisfied, she moved to sit next to her host, their shoulders now bushing up against each other as she made herself comfortable.

Callum smirked to himself as he felt her lean up against him. "So, what's on your mind, Phae?"

The she-devil gave him a warm smile as she placed a hand on his thigh and caressed it gently. "I just wanted to thank you for everything you've done for me so far." With that, she unfurled one of her wings and draped it over his shoulder and laid her head against the other shoulder nearest to her. "You've done so much for me in the short time we've known each other; you've not judged me despite my species' horrible reputation amongst your kind, you've shown me so much kindness, you put up with my BS, hell, you even saved my life." She teared up a little as she began to nuzzle up against his shoulder. "All in all, you've been a really good friend to me and I can never thank you enough."

The host couldn't help but smile at her kind words. He wrapped an arm around her waist and held her close as he placed his free hand on top of hers which was still caressing his thigh and gave it a comforting squeeze. "Hey, that's what friends do for each other, Phae. I'm just happy to be able to help you out."

Phaedra looked back at him with slightly reddened cheeks. "That's sweet of you to say, Cal; I really appreciate you being here for me." She said as she coiled her tail around his arm currently wrapped around her waist and gave it a gentle squeeze. "Now, there was one other thing I wanted to discuss while I've got you here all to myself." She added in a suggestive tone.

"And what would that be?" He asked his homestay, albeit somewhat apprehensively.

She smirked up at him and gave his thigh a gentle squeeze. "Well, Ceri has told me that you guys have been on a few dates already. So, I was wondering if you could take me out somewhere soon, just the two of us, of course."

Callum returned a smirk of his own. "Sure, I'd love to take you out. Cerys and I haven't got anything planned tomorrow, so I can take you out then."

The elder devil gave him a warm slime, happy with his answer. "Excellent, I'll be looking forward to our outing."

"Is there anywhere you want to go in particular?"

Phaedra mused to herself for a moment. "I'll think it over and I'll let you know once I come up with something."

"Cool, I'll leave you to your brainstorming then," With that, the human got up to his feet, which the she-devil had thankfully allowed him to do with little resistance. "Anyway, Cerys is currently working on breakfast, so it should be ready soon."

"That's good to hear; I was starting to feel a little peckish myself."

Callum nodded at her in response before he went to leave her room. "I'll see you in a bit, Phae."

The elder devil waved at him as he was walking out the door. "See you soon Cal, and I'll be looking forward to our date."

The human left and shut the door behind him, now leaving Phaedra to her thoughts once more. She laid down on her side and grabbed one of the pillows as she hugged it to her chest with a bright smile and reddened cheeks. She couldn't remember the last time she felt this giddy about anything. Back home in Hell, she had lived quite the restrictive lifestyle, being a member of House Lucifer. Now though, she had a lot more freedom than she had before and she was living with a wonderful guy now, unlike her previous host who constantly beheld her with a sense of contempt. It also helped that she got on with Cerys well too. She was so happy that she was able to convince Callum to go on a date with her and he accepted her offer willingly; she couldn't wait to go off somewhere with her favourite human.

"Just you wait, Cal," She thought to herself as she held the pillow tighter to her chest. "I'll make this date one that you'll never forget."


The rest of the day was fairly uneventful after Phaedra moved into the house. She spent most of her time organising her things and exploring the house once she was done with that. The rest of the time she spent either socialising with Callum and Cerys, enjoying the satyr's culinary offerings, reading one of her books, or just getting her tobacco fix. Her host wasn't happy about her smoking habits, but he realised that she was a grown-ass woman who could make her own decisions, not to mention that she was a powerful elder devil that could kick his ass if he tried to cross her. At the very least she only smoked out on the back patio of the house and she wasn't doing it very often either.

It was already early evening and the trio were just polishing off dinner, which was a Greek take on chicken skewers which were tasty as hell. Once they were done, Cerys and Phaedra made their way to the living room while Callum offered to clean up the dishes, and the satyr thanked him with a kiss on the lips. The host had made quick work of washing the dishes and soon made his way into the living room to find his homestays sat on either side of the couch as the satyr was in the middle of channel surfing, trying to find a good movie to watch for the evening.

Cerys was momentarily distracted as her boyfriend walked into the room. "That was quick, Beau. Were you that eager to join us?" She asked in a suggestive tone as she gave him the bedroom eyes.

Callum smirked back at her. "If I didn't hurry up, I was worried you might forcefully drag me in here."

The satyr smirked at him and patted the seat next to her. "Then what are you waiting for?"

With a nod, Callum moved to the couch and sat between the satyr and the elder devil. Cerys wasted no time as she pressed herself against his side and wrapped her arms tightly around his neck before giving him a loving kiss on the cheek. She soon relaxed into him as he wrapped his arm around her waist and the blonde resumed her channel surfing.

Phaedra smiled at them from her seat, happy that the two of them were enjoying each other's company, though she had to admit to herself that she felt a little left out. "Hey," She started as she grabbed their attention. "I hope you don't mind, but is it alright if I join you guys?" She asked as her cheeks went a slight tint of red.

The satyr gave her new housemate a beaming grin. "Knock yourself out; the more the merrier."

Callum was a little more hesitant to answer than his girlfriend, though it did put him at ease knowing that Cerys wasn't the type of person to get jealous easily. He did eventually give the she-devil a warm smile as his cheeks went slightly red too. "Sure, I don't mind."

Phaedra smiled back at them, happy that they were so accepting of her request. She scooted herself closer to her host and she pressed herself to his side as she wrapped her arms around his torso and rested her head against his shoulder. Callum happily wrapped his arm around her waist and held her close. Phaedra smiled to herself as she coiled her tail around his arm and gave it a gentle squeeze.

"Are you comfy there?" Callum asked.

Phaedra smiled up at him and gave him a tight squeeze. "Very much so, thank you." She replied as she started to nuzzle his shoulder.

"My, aren't we getting popular, Beau," Cerys teased as she smirked at him.

"You're not complaining, which I'm slightly surprised about,"

"And why should I make a big deal about it?" She asked as she paused her channel surfing and snuggled into him. "Polygamy is pretty common in my culture," She then looked over at her fellow homestay. "And I'm fairly convinced devils aren't overly fussy about sharing partners either."

"I don't particularly mind sharing," Phaedra spoke up as she raised a hand to caress the human's chest. "Though, we can be a little possessive at times."

Callum sighed to himself. "I don't mind doing stuff like this with both of you, but all I ask is that you two don't go starting fights over me now."

"You've got no complaints from me, Beau," Cerys replied with a smirk before she leaned in and pecked him on the cheek.

Phaedra smirked to herself as she also leaned in to whisper into his ear. "I'll be sure to be on my best behaviour." She said before she planted a kiss of her own on his other cheek.

The host was a little caught off guard by the she-devil's kiss, though he wasn't completely surprised that she had grown attached to him after all that happened recently. "Um…yeah…That's good to hear…" He eventually replied in an embarrassed tone, earning a round of giggles from both his homestays.

Cerys snuggled into him once more with a joyous smile on her face. "You really are the cutest when you get flustered like this." She then looked up at the elder devil of the group. "So, have you guys decided where you want to go for your date tomorrow?"

Phaedra mused to herself as she leaned against her host's shoulder once more. "Hmm, I've been to a lot of places in Twin Falls already." She then looked up at her host. "Cal, would you mind taking me up to Boise tomorrow?"

Callum smiled down at her and gave her waist a comforting squeeze. "Sure, I don't mind taking you up there."

Phaedra smiled back at him and snuggled closer to him. "Good, I'm sure we'll have plenty of things to do there."

"Well, I'm sure you two will enjoy yourselves," Cerys spoke up. "It'll give me chance to do a roast for us while you guys are out."

"Sounds like a plan," Callum replied as he squeezed her waist too and she responded by nuzzling into him. "I was worried about leaving you at home alone."

"I'll be fine, I just want you guys to have a great time," The satyr then picked up the remote once more and resumed channel surfing. "Now, if only we can find something good to watch."

"How about we load up Netflix?" Her host asked. "There's that League of Legends series that I heard was pretty good that I've been meaning to watch."

"I'll give it a try," Phaedra added with her curiosity peeked.

Cerys mused to herself for a moment. "Alright, let's give it a shot. But this better be as good as you say it is, Beau."

With that, the trio proceeded to watch the series in question as they enjoyed each other's company. Despite how good it was so far Callum had found himself lost in thought about what he was going to do with Phaedra tomorrow. He was certainly looking forward to his outing with the bold but caring elder devil.
