Chapter 18

Dale met Scott’s gaze and realized it didn’t matter to him if the man turned into a cat during the new moon, or a dog, or a spider, or a caped superhero, or whatever. He’d fallen for Scott the moment he saw the man. Waking up to find Scott in his bed only strengthened his feelings, cat or not.

“I like you,” he admitted. At Scott’s smile, Dale turned his palm over and clasped Scott’s hand in his. “Is it too early to go back to bed?”

Scott winked. “Cats spend most of their time napping.”

Squeezing Scott’s hand in his, Dale murmured, “I wasn’t exactly thinking about going to sleep, if you know what I mean.”

The gleam in Scott’s golden eyes assured Dale that sleep was the farthest thing from his mind.
