“Do you need help with something?” She asks me when I don’t immediately turn around and leave.
“Yeah. You’ve got my cat.”
Her head cocks again and she grins at me. “Does she know that? Cause she seems perfectly happy where she’s at!”
“I just caught her.”
She shrugs at me and lifts the cat up so that she can rest her chin on the cat’s head. Her eyebrow lifts and she smirks. “I think I caught her. You were playing with tuna. Which I’m not sure how great tuna is for kittens.”
I huff. “I was going to get her something else after I got her inside my house. That was just to catch her.”
“I didn’t need tuna.”
My temper starts to rise and I growl under my breath which makes her smile even bigger.
“Fine. You caught her. But she was on my property so I think that makes her mine.”
She laughs and the kitten blinks at me like it can’t believe that I said that.
“Well, don’t worry about it. I’ll take care of her and I’ll make sure that I tell the vet that it was found on your property. But this little cutie is going to stay with me. So…thanks for stopping by but I’ve got some things to take care of. Bye, bye!”
And she shuts the door in my face.
And I walk back to my yard, wondering what the hell just happened and how long I’m gonna be playing this game with my little kitten.
Because she is mine. I’ll win her over, one way or another. And I intend to enjoy the fight because I know damn well that woman is gonna make me work for it.
I’m no slouch. I like to work especially if I have a goal in mind.
My goal is my woman. And a bed and breakfast, okay. But mostly my little kitten. Sooner or later, she’s gonna be purring in my arms and digging those little talons into my back while I fuck her senseless and that’s all there is to it.
She’s mine.
CHAPTER 3
Promise
Now that I’ve got the little kitten, which I’ve named Tigerlily, taken care of, I’m trying to get some work done. I pull out my accounting books and put new numbers in, my eyes wandering over and over to where the little kitten is sleeping on a bed on top of a kitty tree by the window in my office.
I smile and then my smile fades when I remember the guy next door. I didn’t even finish asking him what the hell he was doing at June and Jeremy’s house. But the answer is not something I want to even think about.
Because there’s no way that that guy is their son. He’s too big and loud and annoying.
They were so sweet and happy. No matter that he never came to visit them, they always talked about him like he was the best son anybody could have.
And that is not the guy I’m seeing.
I sigh and close the books, turning on the lights as the room gets dark. Tigerlily stretches out her paws and yawns, which makes me giggle.
I’m fascinated by the little kitten which is weird because I’ve never been a cat lady but maybe I’m just leaning into my future now. Lord knows, my dating history is slim to none and all of it is bad. Cat lady could definitely be in my future.
There’s banging and slamming next door and I grit my teeth, my hand sliding as I jump.
“What the hell is he doing now?”
There’s another huge crash and a picture falls off my wall, the glass shattering and the kitten hissing and jumping to her feet. I catch her and carry her quickly out of the room and down the hall to my bedroom, kissing her little head and pointy ears.
“You stay in here, sweetie. I’ll take care of this.”
