We spend more time in the kitchen, swapping stories of our childhood and life.
Hale stands up, stacking my empty bowl and spoon on top of his own. âI will clean the meal because you cooked. It is only right.â
I blink, impressed. âThat sounds nice.â
I sit back and chat with him as he quickly and correctly, without having to ask me a million questions, hand washes the bowls and spoons. Itâs not a half-assed job either. Everything he washes looks sparkly clean and doesnât require me to go in behind him later for a secret rewash. He puts the leftover soup into a large plastic container and away in the fridge, under the bags of blood. Then he perfectly washes the pot too, dries everything and puts it away in the correct cabinets and drawers. He even spends time on detail work, making sure the counters and sink are clean and so is our table. Soon the kitchen is nice and tidy.
Hale returns to a chair beside me.
âYouâre my hero,â I comment.
He chuckles and tells stories of his home planet, Korn, which sounds similar to Earth. Hale shows me pictures on his tablet of his own âdomicileâ and the general area where he lives. It looks like his species mainly lives in a high-tech modernized medieval Europe-type setting, with lots of stone and wooden buildings and castles, thick forests and heavy snows. And Hale owns his own magnificent fairy-tale-looking castle, like something Iâd only normally get to tour while on a fancy river cruise of the Danube.
We sit so close our thighs touch and our arms are next to each other. But this is through layers of clothing. I lean in and giggle at something funny he says, resting my cheek on his fabric-covered shoulder.
An animalistic growl emanates from his chest.
I sit up straight. âOh gosh, Iâm sorry. I wasnât thinkingâ¦â
âNo, this is not your fault. Itâs mine. But the symptoms are getting worse,â he says. âItâs time for more blood.â He scoots back his chair, stands and grabs a bag of blood out of the fridge.
I canât help but wonder what he means by âworseâ?
And then I blink with surprise because his crotch is tented with an impressive erection he canât hide. And also, heâs lifting the cold bag to his lips. âAre you going to drink that blood in here, right now?â
He pauses, because itâs obvious he was going to totally drink his synthetic blood in front of me as if itâs as natural as drinking a soda. Heâs now second-guessing himself.
And I feel guilty. I shouldnât be grossed out by things that are natural to his species. If for instance I were to go ahead and become his mate, this is what would happen. I would have children who were half-Korn and most likely drank blood sometimes too. âNo, donât leave. Iâm sorry. I want you to feel comfortable.â I give him a big, encouraging smile. âI hope you will also accept all my weird human attributes.â
âI will.â
