“Barney, stop giving me the stink eye.” My slightly overweight, pale-yellow tabby cat glares at me from her bed in the corner of my bathroom, and I sigh. Since we rekindled our relationship a couple of months ago, my kitty has been missing me. Before I started seeing Barrett again, my spoiled cat rarely spent evenings alone. Now, I have dates with him and usually attend his home games, which turns into an all-day affair.

After the doctors released Nana from the hospital, they recommended that someone stay with her at night until the dizziness goes away completely. I volunteered to help out when Barrett travels with the team, and I take little Ms. Grumpy Puss with me. My cat has formed a bizarre attraction to Barrett’s hairy dog, which we all find hilarious. She makes her displeasure known when we come home from their house.

As my cellphone rings, Barrett’s face lights up the screen, and my heart drops. “Hey,” I answer, waiting for him to tell me the bad news.

“I’m sorry.” He sounds tired. “I have to stay late.” This is the third time in two weeks he’s canceled on me because of work. The team is struggling, and the beginning of the season losses are taking their toll on Barrett. I sag against my bathroom counter and sigh. It looks like I’ve been getting ready for nothing.

“I understand.” I honestly do, but I’m still disappointed. “Do you want to try again tomorrow night?” I attempt to sound upbeat.

“It kills me to go another night without seeing you,” he growls. “Can I stop by and say hello on my way home from work?”

My heart melts while my body overheats. We’ve been taking our relationship slow. PG kisses are as far as we have gotten, and my lady parts are begging me to get a move on. “I’d love to see you,” I tell him.

I’m sitting on my sofa in my silky bathrobe staring at the clock. It’s after eleven, and I’m about to give up on Barrett and turn in for the night when my doorbell rings. Barney glares at me and hops off the sofa to find someplace to hide.

I glance at myself in the hall mirror and run my hand through my hair. Once I’m satisfied with the result, I take a deep breath and throw the door open. Barrett is standing on my front porch staring at the Halloween decorations I put out yesterday. “God, where is this year going?” As he leans over and kisses my lips, I grab the front of his sweater and pull him into my house.

“Who cares?” I bite his bottom lip and plaster myself against his hard body. Lust roars through my blood, and I groan, “I missed you,” as I run my fingers through his damp hair. Knowing he must have taken a shower before heading over means the extra wait was definitely worth it.

He pulls back and slowly runs his eyes over my scantily clad body. I watch him as lust darkens his gaze.
