"Maybe that's what they had in mind?"
"Maybe. Anyway, this is obviously perfect for you. I'll go check on my parents since I just heard the garage door opening again."
When my parents came back, I was surprised to see my Aunt and Uncle with them. "Hey, I didn't know you're staying over?"
"Yeah, it's better than going back and forth in case the weather gets worse."
It looked clear here, with only a little bit of frost on the ground.
"Yeah, they'll take your room so they can be closer to us. And you and Krothu will be downstairs. There's more room there anyway, and I want him comfortable." My mom patted my hand and continued putting the groceries away.
Of course. Comfort. He can be comfortable. In the meanwhile, my brain would be having a meltdown but what the hell do I need a brain for anyway?
"Okay. So, I'll just be going downstairs then. Getting ready for bed. That I'll share with some dude I'm not married to yet."
"Oh! Ask if he would like a night cap! I was looking at the MonsterWiki page, and they said that orcs like a hot toddy."
With a stroopwaffel on top. "I'm sure he's fine, but I'll ask."
That seemed to set her mind at ease, and I left my mom and aunt to talk about plans for tomorrow as if I my entire worldview didn't just shift in the last hour.
Since I was already upstairs, I grabbed my bag from my room that I'd given up for the night, apparently, and pilfered some of my toiletries back from my bathroom.
I texted Kro to let him know that I was upstairs and would use the bathroom up here for convenience since I already had my toiletries up here.
Did you need anything?
No, I have all I need.
Spoiler alert: my mom discovered on MonsterWiki that orcs liked hot toddies. So, if you want a night cap, I'm sure she would love to accommodate one.
Well I wouldn't want to prove MonsterWiki wrong. Will there be cookies?
I dropped an eye-rolling emoji.
?? Of course. What kind of pastry chef you think I am?
Sold!
I shook my head and started getting ready for bed. Why couldn't all guys be this easy?
Chapter 5
Krothu
I thought of Plum multiple times in the shower and I was still rock hard. Dammit. I asked Maddoc to text me some Berserker news to distract me, and he sent back a picture of Skull’s latest hunt.
The steaming carcass worked a little to bring my raging erection to a more manageable proportion. Good thing I was sitting down, and the sweats I brought were a size larger than I usually wear.
Plum and I were in the kitchen. Her elders were off getting ready for sleep themselves, so we were alone at what she called the breakfast table. A mug of caramel steamer was ready for me by the time I joined Plum.
I reverently placed the last bite of the stroopwaffel in my mouth. With a sigh, I savored it in my mouth with the last swig of my steamer.
The melody of her voice broke through my reverie. “I feel like I just witnessed a holy communion."
I scoured my memory banks to recall the religious practice. Something about turning bread and wine into a sort of divinity. “Well, when you create such heavenly treats, consuming it ought to have a bit of reverence to it. What you do is magic. Do not ever doubt it."
Plum's cheeks turn a delightful pink color that suffused the normally tan color of her skin. I wondered what other areas bloomed pink on her.
