“I love you,” he said. Then he leaned back, a slow smile spreading across his face. “But maybe we could go back to your place.”

I giggled and nodded. “I’ll have to come in early and sterilize this table.”

He stepped back and pulled me off the counter. I grabbed my clothes and began putting them back on. Kaisen did the same, watching me with an amused expression.

I shut off the lights and together we walked out. I still couldn’t believe what had just unfolded in the kitchen. My cheeks burned just thinking about it.

“You following me?” I called out.

He smirked. “Think I’m going to walk away now?”

Soon after, I unlocked the door to my condo and stepped inside, Kaisen close behind me. Rick was perched on the back of the couch like a tiny sentinel. He tilted his head, his green eyes narrowing as if assessing the intruder.

Kaisen let out a low chuckle as he closed the door behind us. “You and I are gonna have to get along now, buddy,” Kaisen said. “I’m not going anywhere.”

Rick flicked his tail, unimpressed. He hopped down from the couch and sauntered over to Kaisen, circling his legs with a purr that was more curiosity than approval.

“See? He likes you,” I said with a smile.

Kaisen reached down and scratched behind Rick’s ears. “Yeah, I think we’re gonna be just fine.” He straightened up and turned to me, his expression softening. “And so are we.”

I walked over to him, slipping my arms around his waist. “We already are.”

He kissed the top of my head, his hands resting on my hips. “Good. Because I don’t think I could handle being away from you again.”

Rick meowed loudly, demanding attention again. Kaisen laughed and scooped him up with one hand, cradling him like a baby. “Alright, big guy. I guess you’re part of the deal.”
