The sound of a key in the front door jostled me out of… Was that a dream, or had my mind just been wandering? Well, either way, I was awake now. When the hell had I fallen asleep?

I blinked a few times, absently running my hand down Harley’s back.

Harley.

Because I was lying on the couch, and Harley was sprawled on my chest, a paw stretched out over my shoulder and her head tucked under my chin. I was pretty sure she was out cold, too, though she did start purring quietly as I petted her.

I tensed as the second lock on the door clicked. Oh hell, there was no rearranging myself or the cat before Darren came in and—

He froze in the doorway, mouth open like he was about to say something. He blinked. I groaned.

On my chest, Harley shifted a little, stretched, and burrowed deeper under my chin. I thought she might’ve drooled on me too.

“Not a word,” I grumbled to my husband.

“Not saying a thing.” A camera shutter snapped.

I glared up at him. “Are you taking a picture?”

“I’m taking”—he snapped two more—“several pictures.”

Rolling my eyes, I flipped him off. Of course, he took another.

Darren pocketed his phone and came around behind the couch. “I knew you two had become friends, but I didn’t think she’d distract you from your work with some cuddling.” He reached down and scratched her shoulder, which prompted even more purring. Harley lifted her head and looked up at him, then yawned.

“Oh God.” I winced away from her. “Your breath is almost as bad as his morning breath.”

“Hey. Shut up.”

I laughed, grabbed his tie, and pulled him down. “You deserve it for taking pictures of me pinned down by this creature.”

“Pinned down. Uh-huh.” He kissed me. “You were petting her when I came in, and you both look completely comfortable, so don’t act like—”

“Shut up.” I pulled him down again and kissed him harder.

Darren grinned against my lips.

Then the cat shifted a little, and Darren broke the kiss with a laugh. “Excuse you, kitty. That’s my tie.”

Harley batted at it anyway, and… Goddammit. She was pretty cute, and watching her and Darren playing was fucking adorable.

As he dragged the end of his tie along the back of the couch and let her chase it, he looked at me. “So I see you two are getting along.”

I grunted. “More like I gave up on trying to work with her getting in the way.”

“Uh-huh. So you just gave up on paperwork and surrendered to cuddling with the kitty.”

“I’m not—”

“Andreas. Come on.” He made a sweeping gesture at me and the cat, but before he could add whatever smartass thing he planned to say, she went after his hand. Which was funny aside from the part where she used most of my internal organs as a springboard.

“Oof. Jesus, cat.” I patted her side. “I can see why your dad didn’t want you near his stitches.”

“Her dad?” Darren grinned. “Aww, you’re—”

“Quiet, you.” I hoisted Harley off my vital organs and set her on the coffee table so I could sit up.
