“Turn around. Getting used to sleeping in contact with another person does not come easily to many people, so we will practice.”

She turned her back to him, and he caught her around the waist and pulled her into the curve of his body. His erection was obvious, but he didn’t do more than settle his hips against her.

“Thank you for coming over. Will you sleep in my bed when I am away on business?”

“Once a week?”

“Yes, I will tell Nari not to change the sheets. You smell like mine.”

“Is there anything else that leaves kijin claw marks?”

He chuckled. “No.”

“Then, I look like yours as well.”

“Yes, but I can’t see it right now. I didn’t dare bathe with you.”

She chuckled.

“I am going to charge the stone while you sleep.”

“Wait, don’t you need to sleep?”

“I will, but only after I make sure you are protected.”

She tried to relax, but it was only after an hour that she accepted the strange feeling of a large man in the bed she was sleeping in. His heavy purr lulled her into sleep.

She checked her phone over breakfast and lined up her day. Polly tried to ignore the devastation that hit her staring at Minoru in a western suit. He was... exceptionally pretty.

Nari smiled. “More coffee, Polly?”

“Yes, please.”

Polly looked around. “Nari, do you like cats?”

The housekeeper filled her cup. “Yes, Polly. I do.”

“Good to know.”

Minoru flicked her a dark gaze. “What are you planning?”

“This house is very quiet when you aren’t home. It would be nice for Nari to have a weird fuzzy friend. You already have robot vacuums, so it isn’t that much extra work.”

He looked at her with a direct gaze. “Are you asking if you can have a kitten?”

“Absolutely not.” She smiled. “I am not asking.”

Nari laughed, and Minoru raised his brows.

She finished her breakfast and sipped at her coffee.

“Aren’t we bold this morning, Polly?”

“Well, you have enthusiastically laid claim to me, so this will be me marking my own territory, so to speak. It will also ensure that I have a reason to visit your home while you are both here and gone.”

He looked at her and cocked his head. “I am not enough of an inducement?”

“We are waiting on the inducement, right?”
