• Lane's bare chest above (imagine Chris Evans's chest tattoos!!!) •

The sound of loud purring in his ears woke Lane up. He cracked his eyes open, seeing the frilly, velvet red curtains first. He then felt something furry move on his neck. In a panic, the crime lord let out a yelp as he yanked the furry object away from his neck. Shocked and filled with horror, Lane looks in his left hand to see Salem staring back at him with a mirrored expression.

The crime lord closes his eyes and lays back down, his heart still racing in his chest. Lane sets the kitten down between himself and sleeping Katie. Salem softly cries out, slowly making his way up to the pillows at the head of the bed. He uses his front and back paws to climb up on the fluffy pillows. Lane turns his head and glares at the kitten, frowning.

Salem looks to Lane and squeaks at him. The crime lord rolls his eyes and shifts back onto his right side, facing the window. Salem curls up into a ball against Lane's neck, wanting his radiating warmth. The crime lord reaches behind him and grabs the kitten by the back of the neck, putting him at eye length.

"Listen, let's get one thing straight." Lane tiredly growls at the kitten, "I. Do not. Like you. Got it? You're not my pet. You're Katie's. Go bug her, why don't ya?"

Salem cries out loudly, wriggling. Lane rolls his eyes and puts the black kitten down on the bed.

"I'm talking to a cat." Lane shakes his head, "I'm talking to a freaking cat as if it could ever understand me."

Salem whimpers, climbing up the covers on Lane's leg. He unsteadily walks up the crime lord's leg to his chest. The black kitten bumps his head against Lane's bare chest, purring loudly as he rubs against him affectionately.

"Ridiculous." Lane rolls his eyes, his right index finger hesitatingly scratching the top of the black kittens head. "Completely absurd."

Salem licks Lane's chest, rubbing his head over the wet skin as he purrs louder. Suddenly, the black kitten gets in a pouncing position. Lane's heart races in his chest, wondering what he had done to cause the kitten to get into an attack position. Salem begins to jump up on the crime lord's bare chest, his sharp claws immediately springing out to catch on his skin. Lane grabs the kitten and arches a brow at him in annoyance.

"Cats don't belong on the bed anyways." Lane puts Salem down on the floor, "Nighty-night, Fuzzbutt. Sleep with the dust bunnies."

The crime lord puts his head down on his pillow, closing his eyes with a joyous smile. He pulls the covers up over his shoulders. Lane lets out a loud sigh of relief.

"Finally." He smiles happily as he closes his eyes.

Suddenly, the sound of Salem's loud cries fills the air. Lane's eyes open lazily, his face full of annoyance. He slightly growls as he rolls his eyes.

"Damn cat." Lane rubs his eyes, looking down at the floor to see Salem staring up at him with what seems like a smile. "If you don't stop, I'll feed you to the dogs."

Salem cries out again, trying to jump up on the fleece covers. Lane glares down at him in annoyance. He pulls out of Salem's reach. The black kitten continues to try and jump up on the covers, falling each time.

"I mean it." The crime lord continues. "Those mutts are outside right now. All I have to do is walk down the stairs and toss you on the porch like dog chow."

Salem loudly cries out, his green eyes full of plea. Lane closes his eyes and lays back down. Katie shifts beside him, softly whimpering as she shivers. The crime lord pulls the covers up to her shoulders, tucking her in. The black kitten suddenly appears on the bed.

Lane's eyes widen at the sight of him, his mouth dropping. He looks down to see scratch marks on the mattress. The crime lord glares at the kitten angrily.

"I need my fucking sleep, you little bastard." Lane heavily sighs and lays back down, rubbing his face.

Salem hurries to the head of the bed, using his front and back paws to climb up on the pillows. He goes over to Lane's head, sniffing the crime lord's hair. The black kitten begins to lick his temple.

Suddenly, Lane gets an idea. One that he is hesitant about at first. The crime lord grabs the kitten and gets up out of bed, tiredly walking to the private bathroom.

Once inside, Lane looks at the open toilet seat before heading to the walk in shower. He gently tosses the kitten inside, closing the door behind him. Salem's cries are muffled out by the glass door and tile walls. He puts his paws up on the glass and watches as Lane quickly walks out of the bathroom with no regrets.

Hey readers! Was that mean of Lane to lock him in the walk in shower? The water isn't on or anything. More chapters is well on its way so stay in tune! Be safe, my Lovlies ❤️🙏🏼
