CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO

Dawn was a heavy weight on my chest and a rough purr from F.C. all up in my face. The familiar’s black eyes were staring down at me when I breathed out the last lungful of sleep. I reached out a hand to scratch behind his ear, yawning, and tried to stretch with the other arm. I came fully awake as I found Sofia’s body close to mine and turned to look at her. She was awake.

Her amber eyes were watching me with a hungry fascination that was utterly different to the superior gaze of my calico cat. It was impossible to wake before a wolf. I’d never managed to catch a sleeping werewolf in my bed, unless they’d played along with the moment and let me gaze on their pretend dead to the world faces.

“Morning,” I said with a lazy smile.

“So it is,” Sofia replied.

F.C. had a comment too, but he wasn’t just vocal with it. I felt a heavy weight suddenly on my bladder that sent a wave of panic through me. F.C. anticipated my reaction and was off my chest moments before I leap out of the bed. Sofia’s eyes widened in surprise.

The full bladder feeling faded and I realised it was all F.C.

“Frankie!” I was about to throw in a bad kitty, but my familiar threatened to reassert the sensation pressing down on his bladder with a foreshadowing of it. I clamped my mouth shut. “Call of nature,” I explained to Sofia as I left the bedroom and hurried through to the lounge. I opened the door to the balcony. Grumbling like an old man, F.C. made his way out to his personal litter box. A fresh and cool breeze moved through the open doors and caressed my body, but the only lover I could focus on was still laying in my bed, so I didn’t linger.

I returned to the bedroom to find Sofia resting her head on her hand, elbow making a stand.

“So it’s the fishy kitty who wears the pants in this house?” she asked with a wicked smile on her face.

“He thinks he does. Just between you and me, I like to humour him.”

Sofia raised a dark brow at me.

I shrugged. I’d like to see her try ignoring a call of nature thrust upon her by F.C.

“When F.C. has to go, F.C. has to go.” I swept my gaze over Sofia. The sheets were slipped down provocatively towards the low end of her waist, her upper body exposed. Despite the casual appearance of her pose I didn’t doubt that the scene had been set with great care in my absence.

She half closed her eyelids, looking up at me from under her lashes like a modern portrait of an odalisque. Only I didn’t particularly care for hanging her on the wall. I slipped onto the bed and made my way slowly towards her.

“Maybe F.C. did you a favour,” I said, “it’s still early enough to sleep in a little before I have to get to work.
