“No, ma’am.”

“Hold off on calling the Men in Black, boys. It’s only the cat,” Mack chuckles as he motions for the others to head back downstairs.

“Thanks for running to my rescue!” I call out, laughing now too. “Jesus, cat, you took three years off my life.”

“You okay?” Ian asks again, taking Loki from me.

“Yeah, I need to freshen up, then go back down to the laundry room. I think that the last load should be done by now. I put it on before I left for my jog down the hillside.”

“You shouldn’t scare your mama like that,” he scolds my cat, all while he rubs his neck. Spoiled cat. Loki, being the demon cat he usually is, just glares at us both all while accepting the scratches.

I shake my head and move to scoop up the other cat. He lets me too, which is odd now that it’s happened. Cats aren’t usually so friendly with people they don’t know. But I appreciate not having to torment it more by chasing it down. I hold it up to look it over. He—oh yeah, he is definitely a boy—is purring as he rubs his head against me.

“Now for you, mister, who are you and where did you come from, huh? If you’re an alien, can you just keep that to yourself? I don’t have the mental capacity for that kind of news right now.”

Ian chuckles. “He’s been hanging around out by the garden shed. I thought he was yours.”

“No, I only have the demon spawn there.” I motion to Loki.

I look the new cat over and frown. He is all fur and no meat. I can feel all of his ribs. I don’t like that one bit. The off-white and light gray fur has a black tiger stripe outline through it. He is extra fluffy too. Long air, big blue eyes.

Loki is a big cat, long, tall legs, but this cat is a lot stockier, or he should be. He is a pretty boy either way, that’s for sure.

“How about we get you some food, huh?” I look up to meet Ian’s gaze. “Let’s switch. I’ll put that one away for a bit, if you don’t mind getting this one something to eat.”

“Sure.” He holds Loki out to me, and we manage to switch without anyone having a tantrum. “Should I give him just one scoop of kibble?”

“Yes, please. Show him where the food plate is and the water fountain. I will get him an appointment with the vet to be looked over as well. Just in case. He might be microchipped or something.”

“I’ve seen that look.”

“Yeah, yeah. I think I just inherited a new cat.” I grin. “If he doesn't belong to anyone.”

“Fair enough, guess you need to think of a name then.”

“I’ll start thinking.”

“See you downstairs in a few.”

“I’m going to wash the run off of me, then I’ll be down.” I smile as I lean up to brush a kiss to his lips before walking to the spare room and putting Loki inside. He has a cat tree, beds on the floor, and toys to play with. There is also a kibble bowl and water fountain up here. He wanders too much to just have it down in the kitchen.

I go to my room and straight to the ensuite. I strip out of my leggings and tank top. My socks, bra, and panties are added to the hamper on my way to the shower. The water is hot and stings my skin, but it feels good.

The cat needs a name. My mind conjures up one of my favorite scenes from the TV show, Supernatural, where Sam and Dean are searching lockers. A cat scares Dean so much that he screams like a girl… I bust out laughing at the memory.

That’s it. If I keep him, his name will be Dean. I wonder if he likes pie too…

I rinse my body, then give it a scrub, and rinse completely before stepping out. I brush at the bun on my head with the towel. The wisps of loose hair got wet but will soon dry.

I walk into the bedroom and am greeted by Ian coming in. He sees me, and there is no doubt that the sight of me turns him on. If he was in those delicious gray sweats he wears at night, they’d be tented. His jeans do nothing to hide his growing bulge.

“Hi.”

He stalks toward me, his hungry eyes taking in all of me.

“Hi.” His mouth crashes down onto mine, and I let him take control. His body presses against mine. His hard cock presses into my stomach, and I want nothing more than to undo that zipper and take him in my mouth.

“You’re so beautiful.” He pulls back, his chest rising and falling as his breathing picks up.
