Rei woke up the next morning, feeling the gentle warmth of James's embrace. The sensation of his arms wrapped around her made her heart swell with a sense of comfort and protection. She took a deep breath, savoring the moment, and her lips curled into a soft smile. As she lay there, she could hear his steady, peaceful breathing.
Turning her head slightly, she looked at James's face, relaxed and handsome. She thought he was a pervert, a womaniser but she felt protected by him. She couldn't help but think how lucky she was to have him by her side. She put her hand on his face gently and thought she might have been dead without him. Those zombies would have killed her other than worse. He was there to protect her. Rei thought of getting up. Gently, she began to untangle herself from his embrace, trying not to disturb his rest.
Once free, she sat up, taking one last look at him. There were things to be done, and she thought of letting him sleep a little longer. With a tender smile, she quietly slid out of bed, careful not to wake him, and padded across the room to start her day.
Rei headed to the shower room and stepped into the shower. She turned the water on and felt the warm water flow over her body. The gentle spray enveloped her, washing away the remnants of sleep and the tension from the previous day. She closed her eyes, letting the soothing sensation of the water relax her muscles and clear her mind. As the steam filled the bathroom, Rei reached for the soap, lathering it between her hands before running it over her skin. She then let the water clean it off. Rei tilted her head back, allowing the water to drench her hair, the droplets glistening like tiny jewels. She stopped the water and dried herself up with a towel. She started to get dressed.
Rei wore pink panties and a pink bra. She then wore a denim shirt and ripped jeans. She left to go downstairs and eat breakfast. As she went downstairs, she saw Lefi, Papi sitting on the dining table. “Good Morning both,” Rei greeted. She looked at Papi and her wings. She had a childish face. Rei thought James does like all women.
“Morning,” Lefi responded.
“Good Morning,” Papi replied. “Who are you again?” she asked.
“I don't think I introduced myself. I am Rei,” Rei responded.
“Fellow wife,” Lefi added as she ate her biscuit.
“Husband is very popular,” Papi said.
At that moment, Miia came with a tray of toast, ”Rei you are awake as well,” Miia said. She was wearing a apron over her shirt.
“I am, and good morning to you as well,” Rei remarked.
“Yuriko has been helping me with this,” Miia said confidently.
“To make toast?” Rei asked.
“Yes,” Miia said happily. She had a wide smile on her face.
Rei smiled back. “She did it all by herself,” Yuriko said as she walked in carrying a tray of eggs and bacon.
“Thou smells good,” Lefi said as she sniffed the air.
“It does,” Papi agreed as she put her wing up.
“Well it is time to dig in,” Yuriko said as she put the tray down and sat on a chair.
“Should we wait for Darling?” Miia asked as she looked up the stairs.
“He is still sleeping,” Rei responded.
“Husband slept in your room?” Papi asked.
Rei thought already husband. Yuriko thought, this man has a charm to him for sure. “We just cuddled together. He seemed tired,” Rei added.
“I want to cuddle with my husband,” Papi pouted.
“I did more than cuddle,” Miia proudly said. She went red.
“Girls, it is time to eat,” Yuriko said.
“Food,” Papi said as she had a smile on her face.
“Thou good,” Lefi added as she ate an egg.
Rei started to eat. She looked at Miia and Papi and they were clearly in love with James. She looked at Yuriko and saw she was relaxed. “Miia, Papi, would you follow James somewhere else? Like somewhere far?” Rei asked.
“I would follow my Darling everywhere,” Miia responded.
“I will as well,” Papi stated. They both were sure of their answers.
“We will go on a big adventure,” Lefi said.
“Yuriko, how long do you think we will stay here?” Rei asked.
“I don't think more than a week or two, it seems like James has his mind set on a few more girls,” Yuriko responded.
“I know Darling will get more,” Miia pouted.
“He will always love you,” Rei responded back. She smiled at Miia.
Miia smiled back. “He will,” she said. She thought back to their time together. Her tail coiled.
“Did we get Lefi`s card from Miss Smith?” Rei asked.
“We did, it was surprisingly easy,” Yuriko responded. She thought back to walking to her office. Miss Smith was drinking tea. Yuriko asked for it and she suddenly dropped some papers. She went through the papers and stamped on something and got Lefi`s card.
“That is good,” Rei said.
"Yea, 'tis good," quoth Lefi. "This world is verily peaceful," she added.
"It is true, but there are still those who wish to harm us," Miia said, as she clenched her fists. She thought back home.
Rei glanced at her, a reassuring smile on her face. "Don't worry, Miia. We're here, and James will make sure they regret it. He will kick their ass," she replied confidently.
Yuriko chimed in with a mischievous grin, "And Rei will give them a run for their money too. She's a sharpshooter and has taken down some pretty terrifying creatures," she added with admiration. Rei was very talented, she thought. She could easily become a top military officer with her gun handling skills.
"Wow!" Papi exclaimed, eyes wide with awe.
Rei's cheeks flushed a light pink. "Yuriko," she murmured, slightly embarrassed by the praise.
Their shared laughter filled the room, lightening the atmosphere.
“James has left us some money, so let go and do some shopping,” Yuriko said. They all shouted in agreement.
