"All your stuff is here, little Moo," Holly cooed, getting on her hands and knees to peer under the bed. "I'll be back soon, okay? I'm going to fill your water and food dishes."
"Moo?" he asked, amused.
"Missy Moo. That's her nickname because she's chubby like a little cow."
"Yeah, I noticed." He stood and leaned back against the door. "She's cute."
He stole a glimpse at Holly's ass while she crouched down on all fours.
Fuck, she had a great ass.
The tight jeans she'd purchased earlier today showed it off to perfection. They hugged her hips and were a snug fit all the way down to her sandals.
Holly glanced back over her shoulder and caught him staring, then shook her head. "You're so cliché."
Eli snorted with laughter. "If you say so."
After filling Miss's water bowl in the adjoining bathroom, she dusted herself off, then grabbed a plastic bag full of cat food. "Show me to your kitchen, please? And make sure to shut the door behind you."
"Okay, boss." He followed Holly out of the room and pulled the door closed.
He led her into the kitchen, and she stopped short, taking in the dark, gleaming countertops and stainless steel appliances. She ran her hand around the large island in the middle of the room. "Very nice. Do you cook?"
"A little, but I do takeout or eat most of my meals at the rink."
"I need to keep Miss's food in the freezer, then after I defrost enough for the day, it has to be stored in the fridge."
Holly opened the freezer and placed a few packs of food in there, then rummaged around in his refrigerator, storing what appeared to be supplements and another container of food.
"What is that stuff?" He pointed to a little white bottle with an orange label.
"It's a probiotic for her stomach."
"Really? I didn't know cats could use probiotics."
"Yes, and they are necessary for Miss." Holly closed the refrigerator door. "Give me a tour of the place, would you? I feel like I might need a map. My entire apartment could fit into this kitchen." She let out a sigh. "Well, it would have before it burned to the ground."
"As much as it sucks, and it does, at least you can enjoy these penthouse views for the next little while, right?" He didn't think words of comfort were what she'd want right now, especially from him.
"True, I guess."
He led her through the condo, showing her the game room, the laundry room, the theater room, the bar, his living room, the gym, and three additional bathrooms.
"That bathroom is mine." He gestured at the door next to his bedroom. "It is actually an en suite, but it also has a hallway entrance.
"Noted." Holly headed into his room then stopped short, staring around at the decor. "Jesus. It looks like a vampire threw up in here, Eli. What's with all the black and red?"
She bent down and slid her hand along the edge of his pillowcase. "Satin?"
"Nope. They're 100% pure silk."
"All that's missing is a pet bat and a cape. Maybe some fake fangs."
He chuckled and ran a hand down over his jaw. "Oh man. The mouth on you. I didn't think this all the way through—having you stay here with me, that is."
A mischievous smile lit up her face, proof that her ornery streak had returned.
"Yeah, you definitely didn't." She exited his room and headed back out into the kitchen, taking a seat on one of the stools next to the island. "Can we talk about some stuff?"
