“How’s your neck?” I ask.

“Feels hot and tingly, but not in a bad way. More importantly, the magic current means we did the first part right.”

I wince. “Sorry I don’t have fangs like you. I’m sure it hurt a lot.”

“Nah. I was feeling too much incredible pleasure to notice.” His tail thumps against the bed and his fluffy ears twitch.

I reach up and stroke them, and he nuzzles into me, making little contented noises.

“Hope you enjoyed that as much as I did. It was my first time so I know I’ve still got a lot to learn, but I promise I’ll get better.”

He opens one eye and gives me an incredulous look. “If you get much better, you might kill me.”

I let out a relieved laugh. “Good to know.”

He studies me. “Are you ready for me to return the favor?”

My cock twitches with interest.

“You’re on.”

Griff: To surf the internet! Thanks, babe. *heart eyes emoji*

Cal: I can’t handle this schmoopy stuff here too. Talk about gross.

Dallas: What’s a cat’s favorite movie to watch?

Cal: The Fast and the Fur-ious. Nailed it!

Harper: Catbaret, darlings.

Griff: Ha! I’ve got one. The Big Meowski!

Cal: Okay, that’s pretty close but still not as good as mine.

Ruby: Forget it guys, it’s gotta be a classic like Catsablanca!

Harper: Inspired. Hats off to you.

Shae: How about The Purrincess Bride?

Griff: Nice one, babe!
