Pup (Bratt)

Chapter Eighteen: Propositions

"Boys, boys, welcome!" Jimmy wasn't wearing a kimono this time. He wore bright orange pants and a cheetah print trench coat. His glasses framed his bright, blue eyes and a wide smile spread across his face.

Matt smiled and stepped inside. "Thank you for having us, Master Jimmy." He looked back at Zacky, who was just staring at Jimmy. He snickered and said, "Excuse him, sir, Zacky's just a really big fan of yours."

"Um, th-thank you for the books, M-Master Jimmy." Zacky said, "It's a real honor to meet you. I've loved Comet Tails since the books came out."

"Yeah, Matt's told me. Come on, now, Johnny's just finishing up preparing lunch. I'm sure you boys won't mind helping him out, would you?"

"No, sir." Matt replied while Zacky said, "Not at all, sir!"

Jimmy led them through the large house into the kitchen, where Johnny was flipping grilled cheese sandwiches in a frying pan.

"Kitten?" Jimmy asked, and Johnny turned to look at his master. "Here is Matt and his friend Zacky. I trust that they can help you in some way?"

Johnny nodded. "Yes, sir."

Jimmy smiled. "Excellent." He moved to Johnny's side and pressed a kiss to his forehead. "I'll leave you to it, then. Let me know when the meal is ready."

"I will, sir." Jimmy ran his fingers through Johnny's hair, and Johnny nearly purred with the attention.

Jimmy left the room, and Zacky was now caught up staring at Johnny. Matt rolled his eyes.

"How can we help?" he asked, and Johnny blushed.

"Oh, um, one of you can cut these sandwiches when they get off the burner. Master prefers them cut into triangles. And um, another one of you can stir the tomato soup to keep it from burning. There's ah, really not much left to do." Johnny brought his hand up to a purple bow in his hair and fiddled with it nervously.

"I um, I like your outfit, Johnny." Zacky spoke up, moving to the stove to stir the soup. "The color really suits you well."

Johnny blushed beet red and used a spatula to scoop the sandwiches onto a plate. "Thank you." He whispered. "Um, who is your Dominant, Zacky?"

"I'm currently unclaimed." Zacky replied. Matt took the knife on the counter and began to cut the sandwiches, and he couldn't help but notice how close Zacky and Johnny were getting to each other.

"Really? Matt said you were a fox. Don't you like having a Dominant?"

Zacky nodded. "Yeah, but I haven't really had a Dom who wanted to keep me around for very long." He nudged Johnny's hip with his own and smiled. "I may not seem like it, but I'm as wild as they come."

Again with the blush. Johnny bit his lip, then scurried around the kitchen getting bowls and spoons and plates before saying, "If you could bring the soup, Zacky, and you can bring the sandwiches, Matt, we can come to the dining room and set it. I'll go get Master and let him know it's time to eat."

Johnny led Matt and Zacky to the dining room then set down his items before scampering off to find Jimmy. Matt began setting the table, but paused when Zacky hissed sharply, "Matt!"

"What?" he asked, finishing with the plates and moving on to the bowls.

"You never told me they were both so fucking hot." He whispered. "I mean, I knew Jimmy, or, Master Jimmy was attractive and all, but ohmygod. And Johnny too. You never told me the tutu kitten was adorable as hell."
