Read Online Caden's Dilemma (Indiscreet #6) by A.C. Katt - Free Book Online

big dog. I might as well have let him get a Mastiff or a St. Bernard. Even though they’re big, they’re smart. The Golden Retriever was a compromise. I never heard that the breed is dumb, but Pest doesn’t make the case for breed intelligence. Pest is the dumbest dog I’ve ever met bar none. But if Brian heard me say that I’d be staying in Reed’s old quarters here for a week, and that’s if I got lucky and he decided to forgive me. The pout would be monumental in scope.” Bear shook his head and munched on an English muffin.
    “I told you that you should have bought a cat,” Bull said with a modicum of pride. “Mischief and Tom are getting along just fine and make no messes. They don’t even scratch the furniture. Jamie takes care of that by rubbing catnip on the scratching post.” Bull’s chest puffed up as if he was responsible for the cats’ good behavior.
    “Both Leo and Widget are extremely well behaved. Brian got Leo for Danny. Of course I was smart enough to pick Widget out myself.” Gary poured himself another cup of coffee. Bear shot him a dirty look.
    “The answer is quite simple,” Cisco said. “Train him yourself. That way the job gets done right, you won’t go easy on the dog and I know Golden Retrievers are not dumb dogs. He’s smart enough, if he’s getting away with murder, it’s your fault. You didn’t let him know you’re the Alpha.” Cisco buttered his rye toast.
    “What do you know? You don’t have any pets.” Bear harrumphed.
    “Yeah, spoken from high on the mount,” Reed cracked up laughing.
    “Well, I’m considering getting Greg a lap dog. He loves animals and we can’t have a cat.”
    Bear looked straight at Reed. “Stop chortling. You should talk, you’ve got Washington, the ghost cat. I don’t know if anyone else here has seen Reed’s cat, but he teleports from room to room. You never see him move. And then of course, there’s Laverne and Shirley, the yappy Maltipoos.” Bear chuckled. “The name alone can make me laugh out loud.”
    “Enough with the pets,” Cisco finished his eggs. “I’ve got a hospital to run. You may be semi-retired, Bear, but the rest of us have to earn our living.”
    “What are we going to do about the subs plotting to put Caden together with Masato?” Gary asked the table in general as he drank the last of his coffee.
    “Caden is so confident that he can beat the subs at their own game, I say we let him handle it.” Bear laughed. “We’ll see how far he gets.” The others agreed.
    “Looks like you’re on your own, Caden. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.” Bear stood up. “I’m calling the dog trainer as soon as I get home. I’m taking Cisco’s advice and I’m going to handle the Pest myself.”
    “I wonder if they know that we meet the same time as they do every week?” Gary asked putting on his coat.
    “Well, I’m sure as hell not going to be the one who tells them.” Reed stood up, adjusted his suit and said, “Come on Caden, let’s get you started. Bull, get off your ass and help me get Caden settled.”
    Gary turned to leave and said, “Call me tonight. Danny’s going to want to know how you made out today.” Reed, Bull and Caden headed toward the elevator while Gary, Bear and Cisco went out to brave the cold.

    “We’ll meet in my office,” Reed stepped out of the elevator onto the second floor. Bull and Caden followed. “I don’t know if Masato told you last night, but we are moving all the offices to this wing and putting all the playrooms in the barns and the new additions. We’re also adding a gym with a juice bar. The idea being that the Doms stay longer and spend more money with additional things to do here. As you know, we have a Doms’ dining room where they can take their subs to eat.” Caden nodded his head.
    “Bear’s even talking about an eighteen-hole golf course. We are becoming a country club for gay deviants.” Bull interjected.
    “That’s a few years in the
