Home

The rest of the journey back home is spent in silence, with only the sounds of snow and rain being periodically wiped from your windshield being present in the background. About 15 minutes in you see the familiar sight of your house and park your car inside the garage, whose door opens automatically upon detecting your car. You hear the garage door close behind you. You both get out of the car. Cerina heads inside the house while you stay in the garage for a little while longer to check on the progress of your 3D printed model for a robot arm. It was 75% done and should be complete by morning. You remember the scroll that the old man gave you and promptly proceed to fish it out of your pocket. You open the scroll and a bright light flashes and it disappears.

"Huh. I think....it worked?" you say to yourself. "Whatever."

Satisfied that it didn't explode, you head inside your house and walk straight upstairs into your bedroom to get changed into some shorts and a cotton tee. You had to dress that way since Cerina required a higher temperature of 77 while you preferred 73.

*Hmm* Now that you think about it, you were very particular about the thermostat. How did she convince you to do it? You head back downstairs and into the living room when...

*Holy shit!* you exclaim in your head when you see Cerina in her true form, wearing a simple white nightie her size and sitting on the couch with her eyes closed. You forgot how tall she really was. She had never changed into her true form after the second day when she had mastered her shape shifting. From where you were standing, you could see a clear outline of her beastly cock as well as the contours of her breasts and her fit curvy body. Although, aside from her arms and her bare feet, all of her body was modestly covered, it still could not detract from the raw beauty that she possessed.

You see the thermostat and start moving towards it when your little toe accidentally bangs against the coffee table.

"FUCK!! AHH SHIT!"

Cerina wakes up with a start. You brush it off and look up to see her staring at you. She does not have that look of arrogance that she'd always have whenever she talked or even looked at you, instead you see a tense look on her face, like she wanted to say something to you but couldn't find the right words.

"Can I ask you a question Ceri.."

"Yes." she immediately answers.

"Umm..okay...uhh..it's about the thermostat. I am usually very picky with the temperature, but I don't remember making any deal with you about keeping it at 77."

"Oh...yeah..I may have influenced your decision to change it to the one I preferred. I found that I could influence a lot of your decisions so long as they were not in conflict with your core identity. Although I wasn't able to obtain your credit card number because apparently it conflicted with your ideals in some way."

You just look at her in shock.

"Look, Nick, I'm really sorry for my actions. I know....I realize that what I did was wrong. I don't know what I was thinking at the time. I just....I just want to get away from all this other world business. Also I'm...kinda...starting to like you."

"What?!"

"It was gradual I mean..." she takes a deep breath and continues "..what I want to say is, would you like to be in real relationship with me? I've been thinking about it for quite a while now and I want this to work."

"Cerina...I...I don't even know you. We haven't been on any "real" dates with each other. How am I supposed to know if we are compatible? Plus there's the whole....demon-human...thing."

"Well...I have a proposal. What if we start living as a real couple? Along the way we could share stuff about ourselves and get to know each other. And if we really are incompatible, I promise to get an annulment with you. That way we can both live separate lives. What do you say?"

It definitely seemed like an attractive proposal to you. "And you promise an annulment if things don't work out?"

"Cross my heart and hope to die." she says seriously. For the first time you actually believe what she has to say.

"Okay. But on a condition though."

"What?"

"I want the thermostat at 72."

"I'm willing to negotiate it to 76.5."

"73"

"75"

"74"

"Deal." she says.

She gives you a shy smile which was extremely uncharacteristic of her. She somehow managed to look cute even in her large frame. Up until this point none of your relations with women were successful because you never wanted anything long term. Because of this you never gave your fullest in any relationship. Although, with her, you wanted to try.
