Lincoln plodded down the stairs.
“Oh, put your sword away and get some clothes on! Lincoln, you ass, no animals in the house!” Alice yelled, stomping towards the bathroom.
Lexia heard a commotion in the house and paused a second; she heard scratching at the back door. Frowning, she wandered over, panting slightly. When she opened the door, Lincoln barrelled past her as a panther, nearly knocking her over.
Laughing she asked, “What are you doing, pretty panther?”
When he started to run backwards and forwards like she had been doing, she smiled and went to join him.
“My kitty cat getting a bit fat now he’s locked indoors all the time?” she asked, jumping to the floor and doing a push up.
He growled back and carried on and soon they were racing each other across the yard, Lexia laughing hard.
“Okay, okay I give up, you win! I can’t beat your turns,” she panted, hands on her knees. “Wow, I’m beat. You coming in?”
The panther rubbed himself against her and headed towards the door. “Are you turning back?”
When he ignored her she’d figured that was a no.
Lexia walked into the living room, gulping down water. “Morning, Doc,” she said as Lincoln jumped up onto the sofa curling into a ball.
“What is he doing?” Caden asked, frowning at Lincoln.
“I’m not sure... Resting?” she answered with a laugh.
Alice walked into the room, looking far better than she had a little while earlier. “Morning, Alice,” Lexia said.
Alice looked up to answer, but then her eyes rested on Lincoln. “For god’s sake, you’re not a house cat! Get off the freaking sofa, look how dirty you are!”
“Leave my kitty cat alone,” Lexia said.
Alice gazed over Lexia. “And you! Look at you, covered in sweat and dust, is anyone normal in this house? Jesus, Lex, you have a six pack!”
Lexia laughed, her head looking down at the defined muscle on her stomach, “So I do.”
“God!” Alice huffed, “Caden tell Lincoln to get off the sofa!”
The panther jumped off with a growl and turned to lights. “There. Happy now?” Lincoln asked.
“Clothes!” Alice squeaked, covering her eyes.
Lexia burst out laughing while Alice glared at her between fingers.
“It’s like living with a bunch of children,” Caden sighed, heading out of the room.
“You love us really, Doc... Come on, Linc, bring that naked body upstairs so I can clean it!”
“You realize all three of you are crazy, don’t you! This is not normal!” Alice moaned. “Caden, I need coffee!”
Upstairs Lexia joined Lincoln in the shower. “Feel better after your little run?” she asked, wrapping her hands around him, while the water cascaded over them.
“Not really, I miss the wild.”
“Not going to be a house cat anytime soon, then? You did look quite cute curled up on the sofa,” Lexia grinned.
“I will only let you get away with calling my panther cute! And I mostly did that to wind Alice up; she jumped out of her skin this morning when I went running past... It was very funny!”
“You’re wicked you are! She has quite a temper, you know.”
“I’m sure I can take her,” he smiled, kissing Lexia’s neck. “The marks I leave always heal too quickly,” he said, rubbing his thumb over the spot that he’d bitten last night.
“Possessive cat,” Lexia murmured against his mouth.
“I just want people to know you are mine,” Lincoln said while his hands roamed her wet body, his mouth leaving trails of kisses across her face and neck.
“I don’t leave the house and Caden and Alice know.”
“Hmm, I still like it.”
Lexia laughed, “You realize normal people buy girls rings when they want everyone to know she’s taken.”
Lincoln pulled his head up so he could look straight into her eyes. “If I bought you a ring would you wear it?”
Lexia’s heartbeat doubled. Shit why did I say that? She opened her mouth to answer but didn’t know the right words to say. “W-what kind of ring?” she
