And the one we’d heard rumors about had figured out how to get work under the table, so he couldn’t be too big of a pain in the ass.
No, the current pain in the butt who wouldn’t stop causing problems was Pierce.
Be careful.
Don’t drive anyone crazy.
Did you sign me up for a job?
He was so high-maintenance he’d even managed to distract us and keep me from having fun time with Daddy earlier.
“He is worried about you, my mate.”
Oops.
Daddy’s tone made me feel slightly guilty but then Pierce glared at everyone again and it poofed away like magic.
“Family’s hard but I’ll remember he’s worried.”
That made Daddy happier but soon we were both distracted by the portal. We came around a corner in the trail and there it was.
Amazing.
“We’re here.” We’d done it. We were going through the portal. I was going to another planet. “I can’t wait to meet your family.”
They were going to love me and Daddy was going to stop worrying about everything and it was all going to be amazing.
Besides, they would never be as nuts as my mother so it was going to be a piece of cake.
Big, yummy Kenzie cake.
Agent Murphy couldn’t seem to distinguish cake-excited from the naughty kind because he sighed and started grumbling again. “Are they going to keep their clothes on this time? There’s no closet.”
Daddy was right…he needed to learn to knock.
And to stop grumbling when he wanted attention.
But Klynn seemed to think it was cute based on how he was watching the cranky human as he eased his way out of the woods as discreetly as he could. He’d done his best to stay as far away as he could right up until he’d met Agent Cranky Pants.
Yep, nothing going on there.
“Clothes on for now, Daddy, but later you’re mine.” I said it just loud enough for Agent Cranky to glare again and for Klynn to inch closer to him.
Yep, something about Agent Cranky turned him on.
Was liking pains in the butt a kink?
“Your behavior will impact that, my mate.” Daddy had learned to glare so good I shivered, which made me think that might be a kink too.
“Yes, Daddy.” Giving him a kiss as we finally stopped by the gate, I barely held back my excitement. “I’m going to say goodbye to Pierce really quick. You talk to Klynn and make sure he’s ready?”
He seemed to have everything packed up like he said he would, cute alien-looking travel bag and all, but I wanted to make sure he was okay mentally. “Ask him if he remembered to pack his ereader.”
Losing that would make him nuts.
Daddy winced. “No one knows if it will work once we are through the portal.”
Yeah, that would be bad if it didn’t.
