Benedict Smith's POV
I was awakened by the movement of the cat that was coming down from my laps. I wanted to stop it but I thought better not. She might want to get something or anything that she might be feeling. How do I know that it was a she? Well, I felt its attraction to me and I thought I only attracted female species.
I hope I was right though.
Then, when I was about to get out, I stopped in my track. I was looking at the cat before it shifted. Seconds later, a very naked woman was standing in front of me. From the back view of the female, I know that she had a great figure.
And blonde.
And her height was up to my chin.
Holy shit!
It was from Joanna! I was staring at a very naked Joanna Jones that was in my room. I blinked a few times before she was opening the door ajar. Then, she transformed back into the white cat with blue eyes just now. I was rubbing my eyes before I was laughing bitterly.
I think I need to get my eyes to check. I was sighing before I was pacing in the bedroom after the cat was out of there. Joanna was a cat? A shifter? A cat shifter?
But the rational thought of my brain was trying to make up some excuses that I was seeing things. I was not seeing clearly.
I sighed before I was sitting on the chair again. I was rubbing my neck before I was staring at the slow-burning ember of the fire. I stared at it before my mind was shut down. I yawned. I need to sleep and perhaps, tomorrow I will have a better understanding of this matter.
The next morning, I was awakened by the smell of bacon and sausages. I was sitting up in my bed before I was looking around, trying to figure out where I was.
Cyprus, hospital, cat, Joanna.
I groaned as the memory of last night when Joanna was naked in my room and I did nothing to stop her from leaving. I think the sexual frustration was coming onto me right now. I don't know what to say but I was sighing. I think I have to get this sexual tension under control.
Or have Joanna under me.
I shook my head as that thought came into my mind. I smirked at it before I thought it was not a bad idea after all. I was biting my lips before I got out of bed and I saw that I have morning wood. Damn it!
I sighed before I went to the bathroom and think better about having my hand satisfied. I think I wanted something else, other than my hand. I wanted Joanna.
And I will make sure that she will succumb to my charm.
Joanna Jones' POV
I was smiling as I was putting the pancakes on the plate before I was putting the pan back on the stove. That should do it. I think this was enough for 3 people or four including me. I was looking at the table before I picked up my mug and I was sipping on the coffee.
"Something smells nice," Mr. Smith was saying as he and his wife were coming to the table. I greeted them before I saw Ben was coming from the stairs.
"Sleep well?" I asked the old couple before they nodded. I was smiling before I was sipping on the coffee again.
"Don't you want to join us, dear?" Mrs. Smith asked me as I was smiling at her.
"No, I don't think—"
"Oh come on. It will be fine. Besides, you cooked for us. At least come and eat with us," Mrs. Smith said before I sighed. I think I have a soft spot for older people other than children. I smiled at her.
"Sure," I said before I was taking a seat beside her. Then I just realized that I was sitting in front of Ben. If I don't know any better, he was staring at me but I ignored him. I was putting some of the pancakes and sausages for us to eat before we were eating the breakfast wholeheartedly.
I never felt like I was at home before.
I was talking and laughing as I was looking at the older couple. They were sweet to each other. I wondered why my parents never are liked that. Because they have responsibilities and I was not in their top priorities. I smiled weakly before I was drawn out of that room before I sighed.
"Joanna?" Someone called me. I snapped back to the present before I was looking at the older couple.
"Hmm?" I asked them before Mrs. Smith spoke to me.
"Joanna, would you be kind enough to show Benedict around town? I think he might go crazy if he stays indoors for too long," his mother said as Ben was rolling his eyes at me.
"Mum, I don't need a baby sitter. I am capable of going around town myself," he said before his mother was waving her hand dismissively.
"Hush, son. I want you to get to know this city that your sister has been living for 5 years now. I think you might someone that will make you wanted to stay here as well," his mum said as she winked at me. I was amused by this old lady. Ben scoffed.
"If anything, I know how to pick up on the ladies, mum, thank you very much," Ben said before he was putting on the sausage to his mouth. I was smiling at his mother as I was taking her hand into mine.
"I would love to show Benedict around," I said as I was emphasizing his name. Ben was narrowing his eyes at me.
"I will make sure that the Cypriot females will go nuts for him. I swear," I said as I was squeezing the old lady's hand. Mrs. Smith was smiling at me.
"Oh please. I think it was due time for him to settle down but he said that he wanted to focus on the career and whatnot. I think his sperm will die out if he did not settle down now," Mrs. Smith said as Ben was choking on his juice. I snickered at his mother's comment.
"Mum!"
"Oh, hush. You will go to the town with Joanna and I will make sure that by the end of the weekend, you have at least a dozen females' number of maybe one that holds your fancy," Mrs. Smith said as she was eyeing me.
"Thank you again for doing this. I must say, I miss having a daughter around but since Catherine decided to stay here, I wish I have another baby,"
"Okay mum, enough talk. I think we need to go now, Joanna before my mum was making me crazier by sitting in this house even more with her," he said before he was getting up from the chair and I was amazed by him. I don't think that he would be a spoiled brat but he was.
I excused myself before I was getting out of the dining room. I saw that Ben was waiting for me at the front door. I snickered as he was scowling before I came up to him.
"Well, I never thought that I would say this but I was impressed,"
"By what?" Ben asked me as he was narrowing his eyes on me.
"Oh, just the reaction that suggested you were a spoiled brat," I said as we were walking through the door. Ben snickered behind me.
"I would not be so sure myself, Joanna, for I have something up my sleeves," he said and I don't know what to comment on that.
