“Next one’s on you.” She shot back, making him laugh.

“You got yourself a deal.” He said and meant it. With her in his life, he would never again eat alone, and never did he realize how much that had really bothered him. She had been right. It was very lonely.

CHAPTER14

After cleaning up and a few more kisses, Zane and Raina made their way up to the house. Her mind raced, and her body tingled as his hand rested on her lower back as they climbed the steps. She felt protected, and the feeling was amazing. Her lips were swollen from his kisses, and man, could he kiss. Her body shivered just as they arrived at the door.

“You cold?” Zane asked, his voice close to her ear as he bent toward her.

“No,” She shook her head, looked up at him then gave him a smile.

“Hmmm,” Was his response as his eyes turned dark and a sexy smile spread across the lips she had been kissing not five minutes ago.

Reaching around her, their bodies touched as he opened the door. Raina sighed and reluctantly walked inside, wishing they were anywhere, just the two of them.

“Where in the hell have you been?” Bruce paced back and forth glaring at them.

“Bruce, chill.” Wicked warned him before glancing at Zane then Raina giving her a knowing grin. “How was dinner?”

“Fine.” Raina rolled her eyes but couldn’t hide her own smile. Zane remained silent as he walked over to Thorne and sat down at the table. “What’s Bruce freaking out about?”

“Bruce is right here and can answer that.” Bruce looked offended as he glared at them both. “I talked to Fat Bastard about your situation, and I think he can help.”

This time Wicked rolled her eyes, shaking her head. “Just ignore them. Trust me.”

“Who is, ah, Fat Bastard?” Raina frowned, totally confused about what was going on. She glanced at Zane, who was grinning with a shrug as if saying you’re on your own with this one.

“He’s a good friend of mine who did some online lawyering stuff,” Bruce said as if that explained everything.

“Lawyering?” Raina repeated, then glanced toward where Bruce pointed his paw. “Oh!” She gasped seeing a gray overweight cat licking his paw, his eyes watching her.

“I know.” Bruce nodded, also looking at Fat Bastard. “He isn’t much to look at, but he’s smart.”

“And uses a computer?” Raina’s eyes widened. She knew Bruce could do many things that ordinary cats didn’t do. Talking was the big thing, but using a computer, well, that was a little hard to swallow.

“Ah, yeah.” Bruce looked at her as if she was a fry short of a happy meal. “Cats have to have porn, ya know.”

“Dammit, Bruce, I thought I told you no more porn on the computers.” Thorne roared, glaring at Bruce. “I swear if I open up one of these computers and see a bunch of fucking cats, I’m going to kill you in the most painful way.”

“Whoa!” Bruce held up his paw toward Thorne. “I said it wouldn’t happen again, and it won’t. I use Fat Bastard’s computer now.”

Raina knew her mouth was hanging wide open as she listened to this unbelievable scene. What in the hell was happening? “Cat porn?” She choked out, then started laughing hysterically to the point she couldn’t breathe.

“Are you finished?” Bruce asked, looking a little put out after she tried to shut off her laughter. “Can I continue, please?”

“I don’t know if I can handle it, but yes, please do,” Raina said honestly. She almost peed herself and hoped the cat porn was the last of the crazy surprises.

“As I was saying, Fat Bastard has been doing online lawyering shit and thinks he can help with your situation. Do you have the contract with you? Any evidence you have would be of great help to Mr. Bastard.” Bruce asked as if he was a lawyer himself.

“Oh, ah, yes, I do have it.” Raina tried to take this seriously but was failing miserably. “What does Mr. Bastard charge for his services?” Okay, maybe she wasn’t even trying to take it seriously because this was the absolute funniest situation she had ever found herself in.

“Good question.” Bruce gave her an approving nod. “Mr. Bastard, what will you charge your client for the reading and consultation of the contract.”

“Good God,” Thorne said, rubbing his forehead. “Does it ever end with this fucking cat?”

Raina chanced a glance at Zane, who was smiling so big she let a laugh escape and had to look away from him.

“Mr. Bastard.” Bruce tried to get his friend’s attention, but he was busy licking close to his butt. “Hey, fat ass!”
