“Okay!” I picked him up. “Let’s have a bath together.”
Stripping out of my soaked clothes, I started the water while playing with the cat. Despite being abandoned in the rain, he was very playful and energetic. I had already toweled him dry, but he’d need a proper bath with cat body wash. How anyone could abandon this cute little creature was beyond my thinking.
“You’re like Damon.” I chuckled when he started play-fighting me, nibbling on my finger before running away. “Grumpy and cute.”
I sighed in the bath, keeping an eye on the cat, who was kneading a towel and staring at me with his beady little yellow eyes. I had always wanted a pet, but my parents always disagreed and when I could adopt one, I had to move to Los Angeles.
Taking a warm bath was so relaxing that I started to doze off, but my phone’s constant vibration woke me up. I sat up, checking the messages from Heather about how we needed to talk and why I wasn’t in my apartment, and I better not be mooching with Damon Grant.
Heather: He’s bad news, Summer.
My heart thudded. I knew he was bad news, hell—it was all over his face. But I didn’t have a choice. If I could get a million dollars just to work with him and play-pretend as his girlfriend while we have hot, kinky sex behind closed doors, I was all in.
I would be stupid not to accept it.
There were already articles about me. The most current one read, ‘Hot Bachelor Daddy Damon Has Found Love in Hollywood’s Famous Actress Who Had an Orgy? Read the Juiciest Gossip Now!’ I rolled my eyes when I saw it was none other than Garrett who had written the stupid article. He must have rushed to his laptop and posted the article as soon as he saw me with Damon.
Good thing he hadn’t changed much since high school.
I kept my phone on the floor before standing up from the bath. I dried off silently, careful not to wake up the kitten. I wondered what I’d tell Emma and Mia. I was more worried about their opinion than anything else. Will Emma know I’m with her brother just for some money? Will Mia find out that I’m just pretending?
Shaking my head, I started my paranormal romance audiobook. It had a reverse harem trope with four vampire lords and one human girl. The plot was thrilling, and it kept me on the edge of my seat. I hummed and applied body lotion.
“I’m back.” I heard Damon outside the bathroom. “Is the cat okay?”
I made sure the robe was tight and stepped out with the cat wrapped in a towel. Damon was holding a paper bag, and his shirt was drenched from the rain. “He played with me and then fell asle—”
“‘Stop squirming, little lamb, and pull out my cock.’” I froze. The hot audiobook narrator continued in his breathy voice, “I demanded, pulling her close by her hair.”
Damon raised his brow, and I quickly blurted, “Alexa, play Despacito.”
But of course, I had an iPhone, and the audiobook kept going, the voice actor whispering, “‘Mhmm, good girl. Now touch it—fuck, yes.’”
I pursed my lips hearing the groan, and Damon crossed his arms when I went back into the bathroom and stopped the audiobook. I finally took a breath and slowly walked out, even though I wanted to die from embarrassment.
“You heard nothing,” I whispered, not meeting his eyes.
“‘Stop squirming and pull out my cock,’” Damon said, and I snapped my head at him. He was smirking. Leaning closer, he whispered in my ear, “I heard everything, kitten.”
My cheeks went hot, and I turned away, grabbing the paper bag from him and asked if he bought everything. Thankfully, the devil took pity on me and we both fed the cat wet food in a cute pet bowl. Together, we set up a small nook in the guest room for the cat with warm blankets Damon bought. As soon as we placed the litter box, the cat went in and used it.
“How about Void?” I said, smiling at his fluffy tail when he sniffed his surroundings.
“Void? For what?”
“His name. He is like a little void.”
“We are not keeping him,” Damon said, and I frowned.
“Why not?”
He glared at me. “We don’t have time to foster a cat, Summer. Who will take care of him while we are working?”
I pouted, staring at the little bundle of black fur. “I can take him with me—”
“No.” He was so fucking stubborn. He shot me another glare before leaving me alone with the cat.
I petted Void, loving the way he purred, and whispered, “Ignore the ugly, scowling man, okay? You’re not going anywhere. I promise.”
