My chest rumbled with soft laughter. “Maybe we should call her Princess Brownie.”

Kaiya leveled me with an annoyed glare before turning her attention back to Brownie. “Aren’t you just the cutest thing ever? Yes, you are. Yes, you are.”

I chuckled before leaving the two divas to go to my closet. I grabbed everything I’d bought for Brownie and took it out to the living room. “I think I got everything we need for her, but we can always go back to the pet store and get more.”

Kaiya scanned over the pile of items with wide, shocked eyes. “Wow, I can’t believe you thought to get all of this.”

I grinned. “I had help.”

“That explains it,” Kaiya teasingly replied as she sat down on the couch with Brownie. “Especially since everything matches.”

All of the items that Becca had picked out had a pink leopard print design. “The girl that helped me said you would like it.”

Kaiya rubbed Brownie’s belly. “She was right. Now, all we need is to get some cute dresses. Isn’t that right, princess?”

I smiled as I took Brownie’s bowls and food out of the bed, then headed to the kitchen. I knew she would want to dress the dog up. “We need to leave in about forty-five minutes.”

Setting the bowls on the counter, I turned on the sink and filled one of the dishes with water.

“Why?” Kaiya asked.

I ripped open the bag of food and scooped some of the contents into the other bowl. “It’s a surprise.”

“Ryker, wh—”

I interrupted her. “No questions. Now go get ready.”

Her lips fought a smile as she bent over to put Brownie down on the floor. “Fine,” she huffed playfully before standing.

Once I set Brownie’s bowls on the tile in the kitchen, she scampered over to them and started eating.

“Babe, what should I wear?” Kaiya called from down the hall.

I left Brownie to finish her dinner and headed to my room. Kaiya was in the closet in only her bra and lace boy shorts with her back to me when I entered, causing my dick to twitch.

You don’t have time right now.

I cleared my throat and focused on her question. “Whatever you want. You look great in everything.”

That’s the right answer, right?

Kaiya turned to face me and the right corner of her mouth lifted. “I mean, how should I dress? Fancy? Casual? Something in between?”

Duh, dumb ass.

Her sexy smirk made my cock harden. I crossed my arms over my chest to keep from walking over there and taking her against the door frame.

Focus on the question.

“Something in between.”

Kaiya disappeared into the closet after I answered. I started to make my way back to the living room when a brown blur flew past my feet and into the bedroom.

I turned around to hear Kaiya giggling before speaking in a high pitched voice. “Hi, cutie. Is your belly full? Did you like your dinner?”

I entered the closet to see Kaiya squatting down and rubbing Brownie’s exposed stomach. She continued to baby talk the puppy. “Who’s the prettiest girl? Who’s the prettiest girl? You. Yes, you are. Yes, you are.”

I checked the time on my watch. “Babe, we have reservations.”
