“Enough, Alexi.” Kat smirks at me. “Why is your voice so low all of a sudden?”

I narrow my eyes in response. “What are you talking about? This is my normal voice.” It’s not, but this guy hasn’t heard me talk before. If I want to have any cred whatsoever, I need to make sure he knows I’m not safe.

“Mm-hm.” She nods her head toward the area where the animal cages are kept. “Okay, both of you guys need to put away your dicks right now. Let’s get Rocco all set up with his new friend.”

I puff out my chest and follow Kat, pushing past Alexi. It’s a risk, and I sure as hell hope he doesn’t grab me by the neck and throw me against a wall.

He doesn’t.

Thank fuck.

But then again, his attention is solely on Kat right now.

Are they together?

Shit.

I deflate a bit with that realization.

Kat rounds the corner, and I force my eyes away from her ass. If it belongs to someone else, there’s no sense in fantasizing about it anymore.

She bends down and unlocks Stoli 2’s cage. He’s cautious, though. He steps onto the floor, one paw at a time. He doesn’t rush anyone, but he does sit at Kat’s feet.

Seems to be the common male reaction to this woman.

Complete and utter adoration for the master.

She reaches down and strokes the fur under his chin and his eyes float closed like there’s nowhere else in the world he’d rather be.

If I were down there, I might feel the same way.

“I think he’s going to be sad to leave you,” Lindy says, still sitting in front of another cage.

“It’s time for him to go home.” Kat’s eyes flicker over to me, and there’s a very thinly veiled threat pretty apparent in her stare. “You’d better be good to him.”

“I will…” I clear my throat and start again, remembering Alexi is still lurking. “I will make sure he is taken care of.”

Lindy furrows her brow. “What’s up with your voice?”

Kat stifles a snicker with her hand and heads toward the office up front. Alexi is right on her ass. But he gives me a long, threatening look before he follows her. I let out a deep sigh and help my sister up, following the caravan to the office to sign whatever paperwork I need to make Stoli 2 my own.

“Who’s the tall dude?” Lindy whispers. “He’s hot, but super scary.”

“I don’t know. Maybe her boyfriend.”

Lindy gasps. “Oh no, really? I can’t believe it! I’m never wrong with that stuff.”

We walk into the office, and Alexi narrows his eyes at me when Kat leans over to show me everything I have to sign to take ownership of Stoli 2. I breathe in deeply; she’s close enough that the loose strands of hair around her face graze my cheek.

He’s watching, and I don’t really give a fuck. I haven’t laid a finger on her, and anything I do to her is solely in my mind.

He can try to kill me with his glare, but my mind is my own. If I want to screw his girl upside down in my fantasies, tough shit. He can’t intimidate me. His voice may be deeper, but I’m basically staring death in the face.

I’m getting off one way or another.

“This is where you put his name,” she says, pointing to a place on the form. I missed most of what she just said, but at least I’m with her on this one. I scribble Stoli 2 Lucchese on the form, and she lets out a soft chuckle. “You’re keeping my name?”

“Yeah.” I grin. “It suits him.”
