As soon as the blood drop detached from Lith's body, it returned to its original size, filling the jar.
"Just be cautious. Remember what happened to Protheus and Maergron when they tried to feed on me."
"Will do, thank you." As Solus left, Kamila pondered about the current predicament.
'Solus is not coming back at least until tomorrow morning. The kids are tuckered out from the excitement of today and have just eaten. Unless something happens, they should sleep the whole night.
'On top of that, all of the rooms of the Mansion are soundproofed and the master bedroom is in a separate wing from the rest of the living quarters.' She handed the babies to the handmaidens, asking them to keep an eye on the children and not disturb the master of the house except in case of emergency.
"Lith, we need to talk." She said once she was done with the preparations.
"What in Maxwell's name have I done this time?" He put down the notes about his latest magical research he was reading and turned to her.
"A lot, actually, but not with me. Between the babies, Valtak, your study on human evolution, and everything else, we haven't had much time for ourselves lately." She replied.
"I know and I'm sorry." He couldn't remember the last time he had brought her out for a romantic date. "It's just that with Meln, Kelia, the world trib-"
Her rose-scented finger pressed on his lips and cut him short.
"I know, and I'm not blaming you for any of that. You are an excellent father and a great husband. Yet you have neglected your duties as a boyfriend and I'm feeling lonely these days."
"Lonely? With all the people that live in both our houses and our neighbors?" Lith was flabbergasted.
"They are company, but they don't help me relax." She sighed. "That's why I've adopted a cat."
"A cat?" Lith echoed in disbelief.
"Yeah, I'm tired of magical beasts that observe, understand, and talk too much." She nodded. "I want a cute little pet that will keep my secrets. This is our house though, so I can't make this decision without asking your opinion first."
"Fine. Show me this gods-damned beast."
"I hid it in our bedroom. I didn't want you to find the kitten and let it outside by mistake." As Lith walked toward the door, she took both their communication amulets and put them inside her dimensional storage.
Then, with a flick of her fingers, she turned the Warp Gate of the Mansion offline to keep unannounced visitors from disturbing them.
"Where is this kitten?" Lith bent down to look under the bed, but there was nothing there or on the chairs.
"Right here." Kamila locked the door and let her Featherwalker armor slip off, leaving only a headband with cat ears on her head and a matching set of black-laced open lingerie.
A black long tail hung from the back of her panties.
"Where?" He turned around and his jaw hit the floor.
Kamila walked seductively toward him appreciating the mix of surprise and arousal on his face. She stood on her tiptoes and whispered in his ear:
"Meow."
