Forty-five minutes later, Cinnamon and I stood at Kit’s door, waiting for him to answer the doorbell. I hadn’t told him about the hit I’d accepted earlier when I’d called to let him know I was leaving home to pick him up, but hopefully, he would understand when he saw the cat. I could have refused the hit. Our relationship—if it could be called that—was still fresh and vulnerable right now, but it was better for us to get into the routine of what things would be like should we ever get serious.

Kit had to get used to the idea of me being around as well as me being gone. Maybe he wouldn’t be able to handle it, but at least he would find that out right away rather than for feelings to get too involved.

The door opened, and Kit’s smile transformed into a grin when he saw the cat carrier.

“Cinnamon roll!” He took the carrier from me and disappeared inside the house.

“If I knew getting that cat meant immediately being demoted to second best, I would’ve left her at the cat café.” I closed the door behind me and trailed after Kit.

“Of course you’re not second best.” He opened the carrier and scooped the cat out. Straightening, he brandished the cat for me to see. “But look at that cute face. I still can’t believe you adopted her.”

“I still can’t believe you made me adopt her.” I placed a hand around Kit’s waist and pulled him to me, leaving enough space not to crush the cat, who was comfortable being petted. “She’s already becoming spoiled, but you’re right. She’s teaching me so much about what a kitty needs.”

“She deserves to be spoiled.”

“Hmm.” He tilted his head back, and I kissed him. His lips were soft, candy sweet from his lip gloss and minty from his mouthwash. I slipped my tongue into his mouth and tightened my grip on him. Kissing him was becoming a favorite hobby of mine, his lips my poison of choice.

I grunted as claws sank into my shoulder. Cinnamon had climbed from Kit onto me. I placed a hand on her back to support her weight, since her balance was off with her right front leg missing, and stepped back from Kit.

“See what you’ve done?”

“Oh, come on, you love her, and you know it.”

He wasn’t wrong.

“Wait. Not that I don’t adore seeing the little gal so soon, but why did you bring her?” He took back Cinnamon and brushed her tail. “Does this mean…”

“It shouldn’t take more than two days.” I stroked his cheek. “It’ll be over before you know it, and Liam will check up on you. Plus, if—”

“Sully, it’s okay.” He smiled. “I’ll worry, but I understand.”

Could he be any more adorable? This boy was shaping up to be tougher than I’d thought, and I liked it as much as I liked the soft parts of him too.

“When I get back, we’ll talk.” I kissed his cheek. “But for now, let’s go to that club so you can be my pussycat.
