No Secrets

Not long after their shower, James and Melanie were back in bed together, their bodies entwined. Despite everything else that was going down, they were seemingly not interested in much else than each other.

"You know, it's funny" James mused as he delicately ran his hand up Melanie's inner thigh "But we are currently at war with a psychotic witch and I can never remember feeling this happy"

"You are also getting paid millions of pounds to live in a giant mansion with more than twenty naked women" Melanie reminded him.

"Oh yeah, there is that" James laughed "Although I would be just as happy if I was penniless in a tony bungalow with just one naked woman, as long as it was you. I can't believe you are finally all mine, Melanie Jones"

"I wish we did have her own place, honestly" Mel replied "There is always so much to deal with here"

"What's happening with Tania?" James asked.

"Lexie has her as this horrible little toad thing in her room. She doesn't want me turning her back yet, and I kind of feel like I owe her. Do you want to know my crazy theory though?"

"Sure"

"I think she likes her"

"You think Lexie likes Tania?" James looked at Melanie as if she had gone mad.

"I'm telling you, I know Lexie pretty well. She has her up in her room, I've seen her talking at her more than once, and not in a nasty way, and she admitted to me that she thought Tania was one of the hottest girls in the mansion. I think subconsciously she is getting her **** now so the slate is wiped clean once Tania is back to normal"

"Before Tania turned out to be a spy she was actually one of the people I got on best with in here" James revealed "But she is a pretty strong and stubborn character. Her and Lexie would be like fire and oil"

"But that's exactly what Lexie wants, even if she won't admit it" Melanie ran her hand up James' shaft as she spoke "She was never really right for me because, well, she doesn't have a dick. And I was never right for her because, you know what a pathetic people pleaser I am. She wants someone who will stand up to her. Someone she can have a fight with and then have angry make up sex while her adrenaline is still pumping"

"So you seriously think those two could be a thing?"

"You heard it here first" Melanie planted a kiss on James' chest after making her prediction "I have something else to tell you. I'm supposed to be keeping it a secret, so don't tell anyone. But I don't want you and me to keep anything at at all from each other"

"Agreed" James nodded.

"So, someone has contacted me claiming to be some sort of powerful nemesis of the Director. They think they can help me, and maybe even heighten my magic powers to beat Rebecca. But then they want me to take down the Director as well, which is a pretty terrifying thought"

"You need to back up a little" James told Mel as he ran his hand over her buttocks "You've never really told me anything about the Director, or the app you were on or any of that. I want to know everything there is to know about you, and all that happened between the time I last saw you and when we reconnected"

So Melanie told James everything. She explained how she first downloaded the app and signed up for it, without a clue what she was letting herself in for. She talked about meeting Anna and their brief fling, the first uncomfortable time she ventured out naked to Barry's shop, how her work friends all signed up for the app together and wound up naked in the canteen. She talked about Charlie, Sophie's ****, the move across the pond and meeting with the US glitches, the fight against the Director and the uneasy truce they had agreed, right up to coming back to England almost entirely because she had wanted to help James.

"I think that is about everything" Melanie finished "Now you have to tell me something I didn't know about you"

"Okay, how about the more I get to know you the more deeply I am falling in love with you" James replied "And I really, really want to fuck you again right now"

"Wow, that went from romantic to horny pretty damn quickly" Melanie laughed as she wrapped her arms around James' neck "But I think that can be arranged"

"Oh my God, I love these two so much!" Maggie remarked from up in the vents.

"We're staying to watch them fuck, right?" Noelle checked.

"Hey, did you hear a squeaking?" James wondered.

"It's an old mansion, there are probably a few rats about the place" Mel answered as she climbed on top of him "Do you really care about that right now?"
