"Girl, come on in! What are you waiting for?" i called out, gesturing for Melina to step inside.

She smiled and quickly made her way in, settling comfortably on the couch with a contented sigh. Mateo and Elias had gone out for the day, so Melina and i decided to enjoy some much-needed girl time.

Out of nowhere, Leon came dashing out of our bedroom, sprinting towards Melina with pure excitement, his tail wagging furiously.

Without hesitation, he leaped onto her lap, looking up at her with those big, eager eyes, clearly waiting for some affection. Melina beamed as she picked him up, smothering him with kisses.

Meanwhile, i busied myself gathering his shampoos and fur brushes, getting ready for his bath.

According to Mateo, Leon is not a fan of baths at all and he has tried escaping several times during the process.

So today, Melina was going to help me comfort him through the shower.

"What's up, buddy?" Melina cooed at Leon in a playful baby voice as he responded by licking her nose gently.

She laughed softly, then turned her attention to me.

"How are you feeling?" she asked, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

I shrugged, a mix of emotions swirling inside me. Elias had filled Melina in on our situation—how things had gotten so dangerous and risky lately.

But despite that, neither of us had been brave enough to talk about it openly.

"Anxious, worried, happy, excited, horny," i admitted with a smirk, trying to lighten the mood.

"Oh, you're not updating me on that kind of stuff?" she teased, feigning a pout.

"I gave you a full rundown of my first sex experience with Elias!" she crossed her arms, pretending to be offended.

I chuckled and shrugged again, picking up Leon and heading towards the bathroom, with Melina following closely behind.

"Did you two have sex yet?" she suddenly blurted out, her tone full of excitement. I felt my cheeks flush instantly.

What's wrong with this girl?

"Oh, i'm sure you did! Was it good? Ah, i hope it was amazing," she continued, her voice full of enthusiasm. I turned to look at her, shaking my head as laughter bubbled up from within me.

"No, we didn't, you witch!" i exclaimed, still laughing. Melina gasped in mock offence.

"Witch? Me? I'm just looking out for you, you jerk," she shot back, pouting dramatically, which only made me giggle more.

"Why not though?" she pressed on, her curiosity not easily deterred. I simply shrugged, placing Leon gently into the bathtub and handing him a treat to keep him calm.

"Hold this," i instructed, passing her the shower head. Melina took it, carefully letting the warm water flow over Leon's small body, her movements slow and gentle.
