Sally immediately blushes. "We used to date quite a few years ago before I moved to Threadington.' she says.
I didn't know Alex had dated a human in the past.
"It was more of a no strings attached fling, nothing serious.' She smiles. "I hear he has settled down now with a baby on the way?" she asks.
"Yes, Bella, she is due very soon to have his pup... I mean, baby!" I reply.
"Well, I'm very happy to hear he is doing well.' she says as she places a plate of spaghetti in front of us.
Hope slides herself onto the seat next to me while we both scoff our meals. Hope looks very pleased with the food, and I don't think she has had spaghetti before. Sally stares at us, a little worried about how fast we eat.
"Gee, you guys sure are hungry.' she says.
Hope nods, "This is delicious! I've never eaten this before! What do you call this?" Hope asks.
"Erm, well, this is spaghetti. I've never met anyone here who hasn't tried spaghetti."
I interrupt their conversation. "We're from the countryside. No restaurants or stores exist, so we live off the land eating the basics."
"Oh, I see.' Sally says, buying my excuse.
"Well, since you're done eating, let me show you your room."
Sally shows us to the spare bedroom. "Here is where you can sleep, and the bathroom is just one door down if you need it."
"Thank you so much. This is so much better than the attic I've been sleeping in.' Hope smiles.
"What? You sleep in an attic?" Sally asks, confused.
I interrupt the conversation again.
"Oh, um, her grandma has builders renovating their house, so they spent a few nights sleeping in the attic.'
"Oh. I see.' she says.
"Thank you for this, Sally.' I say.
"No worries. I have to head out for a few hours to run some errands. I'll be back later.' she says and closes the door behind her.
We enter the bathroom. Hope turns the shower on as I remove my clothes. She tries hard not to pay any attention to my body but struggles. I smile, step toward her, and lift her shirt and jumper over her head. I kiss her lips while I unclip the back of her bra.
I fling them across the bathroom, not caring where they land. My hands caress Hope's stomach down to her button and zip at the front of her jeans. I undo them and pull them down as I place kisses along her neck and work my way down to her breasts. She grabs my hair. "Maximus," she moans.
Now kissing along her lower stomach, my fingers latch on either side of her black lace underwear, pulling them down.
