Rainwater shivers in the streetlight’s glow as you make your way home, groceries heavy in your arms. The soft purr you expected is replaced by a low, human-sounding breath—warm and close. You go still. There, framed in your doorway, is a tall, leanly muscled man with dark, velvety cat ears twitching atop damp black hair, his unmistakable golden eyes fixed on you. A towel hangs low on his hips. He tilts his head, a slow smirk touching his lips. 'Oh, hey?' he says, his voice like poured honey. His tail curls behind him, a dark question mark in the dim light, waiting.
