“She’s calm now. You do it.” The look he flashed me wasn’t a challenge, but it was almost one.
I didn’t want to say no.
I didn’t even want to argue.
Not because I wanted to make him happy. I wasn’t really sure why, but making him happy didn’t sound right.
I sat down next to him and handed her the treat.
She stole it from me more gently than she usually did.
That was a nice change.
I liked feeding her when it didn’t involve nearly losing my fingers.
“Why did you get a cat in the first place?” he asked.
“I don’t know. I was lonely, I guess. Tori was falling for Vex, and Love was talking about taking baths with Madd, and I just… A cat seemed like a safe option. A mate, not so much.”
Bauther nodded, but didn’t say anything else.
I remembered Love telling me to just come out and ask him if we were mates, but I knew that could ruin what we had going on.
And I liked what we had.
So, I didn’t ask.
It still seemed unnecessary, too.
He would’ve told me if I was his mate. Wouldn’t he?
“Ready?” I asked him.
“Sure.” He stood up—scooping Sprinkles up with him.
She hissed, but it was half-hearted. And she didn’t even scratch him.
“She’s seriously in love with you,” I complained. “You’re not bringing her with us, are you? She’ll freak out.”
“Of course I am. Maybe she just doesn’t like your house. Territory is a big thing for cats, isn’t it?”
“I don’t know. Maybe.”
“It’s important for wolves, so why not? Maybe my place will calm her down more.”
The logic didn’t seem sound, but I didn’t give a damn about the logic.
As long as Sprinkles didn’t intervene during the sexy times, she could come along.
If she did, my wolf just might eat her.
“It’s worth a try,” I agreed.
So, he carried her out of the house.
And all three of us made our way down the street. When he captured my hand, sliding his fingers between mine, it made me warm.
And happy.
