“Ugh, this is useless,” I said to Yoda and shut the lid of my laptop.

He didn’t even perk his ears up to acknowledge I’d spoken. Brat. He was a brat, but he was my brat and I loved him. Reaching over, I rubbed his fur to calm my nerves.

It was simply sex. Great sex. Amazing sex. The kind of sex that other people had, not me. Until Emilio. And I wanted more.

But it was a bad idea. A terrible idea.

A one-off was fine. Anything more than that and things could get complicated. This was worse than fraternizing with a co-worker which was strictly a no-go. That kind of thing was messy and avoiding messy was what I did best.

“Maybe I should make a pros and cons list.” I looked over at Yoda who again failed to even acknowledge I’d spoken to him. “You know, I feed you, bathe you, clothe you, and give you a place to live. The least you can do is look in my direction when I’m talking to you.”

This time his ears at least twitched. Guess it was better than nothing. I picked up the remote and readjusted to a more comfortable position on the couch. If I couldn’t get work done, bingeing old episodes of Law and Order would be the next best thing. Yoda popped his head up, then jumped off the couch, barking as he ran full steam toward the front door. Seconds later the doorbell chimed.

“Who in the hell?” I groaned, unfolding myself from my position. I’d just gotten settled. “Stop with the noise,” I scolded as I got closer. “You act as if you’ve never heard the doorbell before.”

A quick look through the peephole made my breath catch. Damn it all to hell, I’d talked him up. I did a slow exhale and put on my best annoyed face. Yoda darted out the small opening and jumped at Emilio’s ankles. Traitor.

“You have crappy timing.”

The friendly smile he wore quickly turned into a frown. “Damn, I can’t get a hello before you start bitching at me?”

I crossed my arms and leaned against the door. “You’re right. Sorry. Hello. And you have crappy timing. I’d just gotten comfortable and here you come to mess it up.”

He laughed and bent down to pick up Yoda, the brown plastic bag in his hand rustling as he did. “Is she this pissy with everyone, Ren, or is it just me?”

I rolled my eyes at the dumb name he insisted on calling Yoda and reached out to take him. “What can I say, you bring out the best in me.”

His grin got wider and I worked to ignore the effect it had on me. Emilio sauntered in without waiting for an invitation.

“So, what were you doing that I rudely interrupted by giving you the pleasure of my company?”

I shut the door and set Yoda down. He ran back to the living room probably to reclaim his favorite spot on the couch.

“Pleasure? That might be a stretch.”

Emilio turned to stare at me.
