By dinner that night, she’d worked herself up into a state of righteous anger. So when Laithir walked into the living room and pulled off his tie, she was practically bristling with her need to argue with him.

“Cats are very clean animals!” she announced, adding a nod of her head for emphasis.

Laithir had just lifted a bottle of scotch but froze with her words, looking over at her curiously. “Okay. I agree.”

“So, Janus shouldn’t be banished to the kitchen!”

Laithir’s eyebrows went up with those words. “I agree with that as well.” He poured himself some liquor, tossed a few ice cubes into the glass then walked over to where Shantra was pacing angrily. “First of all, I’m guessing Janus is your kitten, correct? You named him?”

Shantra jerked a nod of confirmation but didn’t stop pacing, too upset by the events of the day to slow down. “Yes. And he’s very sweet, and I adore him, but I won’t have him banished.”

Laithir nodded his head, wanting to pull her into his arms, but she looked too bristly for that kind of affection. Besides, he was doing his damnedest to not pull her into his arms and make love to her. He was trying to keep his distance because Shantra was dangerous.

Laithir felt a slight tug and looked down, surprised when Shantra’s kitten climbed onto his lap. The feline’s big, yellow eyes blinked up at him, silently begging him for affection. Laithir glanced up again and Shantra was saying something about the cost of raising a family. He absently scratched the kitten behind his ears.

“I mean, there’s the cost of raising children which, in our case, could be exorbitant! The average cost is now over three hundred thousand for the average family! And that’s not including the additional security that would be needed for any child born into royalty! I mean, there’s the problem of new bodyguards, and we’d have to hire a nanny. Right now, the human resources department of your administration is set up to hire engineers and accountants and oil personnel. Trying to shift their focus to finding an adequate nanny, especially one for a small infant, would be difficult!”

Laithir considered all the different ways he still wanted to make love to Shantra. As she paced, he thought about all the possibilities. They’d only had
