When the boss is away, the cats will play.<\/p>\n

When Robin heads to North Carolina with his boss to help design and build a new conference center, he has a bunch of surprises in store for him. The building site is in the middle of nowhere, his boss is being weirder than usual, and he meets not one, but two of the hottest men he\u2019s ever seen in his life. If he can just get his boss Terry to leave him alone with them, Robin knows Casey and Travis could rock his world.
\nCasey and Travis might play, but they\u2019ve never thought of mating with a third man. Their immediate need for Robin is something they don\u2019t question, though. What they do want to know is how Robin can possibly be unaware he\u2019s a cat shifter. Can they help Robin find the other half of himself and convince him he\u2019s what\u2019s missing in their relationship at the same time?<\/p>\n

Excerpt: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Robin sat there at the table, trying not to draw anyone\u2019s stare or do anything wrong. There were maybe three times the people in the bar now that there had been, and most of them were in flannel or leather or jeans with wallet chains.<\/p>\n

It was like a wet dream come to life, really, assuming everyone was friendly.<\/p>\n

\u201cHey there, kitty. What\u2019s your name?\u201d The two hot as hell guys from earlier appeared on either side of him, both settling on the bench Robin sat on.<\/p>\n

He blinked. \u201cRobin. Hey.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRobin, huh? I like it. I\u2019m Casey. That\u2019s Travis.\u201d The golden one spoke, nodding over at the other guy when he made introductions.<\/p>\n

\u201cPleased to meet you.\u201d Now shoo. Off with you.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs that your boyfriend?\u201d the other one asked. Travis. He had a voice like sandpaper over velvet. Rough and deep and oddly soft.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s…What kind of question is that?\u201d He wouldn\u2019t even answer that.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn important one if we want to take you out of here and get really busy.\u201d Casey moved close enough that his breath stirred the hair on Robin\u2019s neck.<\/p>\n

Surely he hadn\u2019t heard that correctly. Right? Because\u2026 Whoa.<\/p>\n

Travis nodded easily. \u201cYou\u2019re just our type, honey. We want to play.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you serious?\u201d His cock went from soft to interested in seconds.<\/p>\n

\u201cYep. I know, I know, you think we\u2019re messing with you and that the rednecks want to bash, but it\u2019s gay night here at the Cat House. We want you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oh, Terry was totally fired. Totally. \u201cI usually make a guy buy me a beer first.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can do that if you want, but we can also just grab a six pack and go\u2026\u201d That was Casey, his green eyes seeming to glow bright for a moment. They had to be contacts. Had to be. Look at that color.<\/p>\n

\u201cI like that idea,\u201d Travis murmured. \u201cI\u2019ll get the beer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut Terry\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, is that the guy you\u2019re with?\u201d Travis stared at Terry. \u201cYou can go for a ride with us. Your boyfriend won\u2019t mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe might\u2014\u201d He was going to tell them Terry was his boss.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s okay, baby doll. I\u2019ll go ask him.\u201d<\/p>\n

That was pure wickedness. Damned if the devil didn\u2019t get up and walk over to Terry.<\/p>\n

Robin craned his neck to see what was going on, but Casey grabbed his hand. A jolt of electricity went all the\u00a0way up his arm, and Robin gasped.<\/p>\n

\u201cMmm. Pretty kitty. That\u2019s the finest thing I\u2019ve felt in a coon\u2019s age.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cKitty?\u201d That seemed like a weird come on, didn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

\u201cMmhmm.\u201d Casey reached behind him and found the hot spot in the small of his back unerringly, like there was a target drawn around it.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh.\u201d His mouth dropped open, his eyes crossing. \u201cDo that again.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMmhmm. I can do that. Damn, I can smell you, kit.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDo I stink?\u201d He knew he should have insisted they stop at the hotel.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot even a little bit.\u201d Wait. Wait, did someone just nibble him? Like on his neck?<\/p>\n

\u201cI got the beer.\u201d Tyler was the one behind him, licking at his nape. \u201cAnd your boss said to go for it.\u201d<\/p>\n
