Chapter Twenty-Three: Driven by Desire:

Saturday evening. Noiz and Mosh sat at the table, having dinner. The cat tried her best to hold back a laugh. Mosh looked up from his bowl.

“Something funny?” he asked. Noiz shook her head.

“Nah, nah,” she said. “It’s nothing.” She slurped up her udon.

“How are your grades?” she asked.

“Good,” Mosh said. “Exams are coming up.”

“Oh,” Noiz said. “Studying hard?”

“Yeah!” her pet said. Noiz took a bite of rice. Hours earlier, she saw a rather hot show. Her man and his hand. Her lips curved into a smile.

“Something good happen today?” Mosh asked. Noiz eye him, still smiling.

“Something like that,” she said. Mosh blinked at her.

“What?” he asked. His wife giggled again as she shook her head.

“Nothing,” she insisted. This time, he didn’t believe her. The pet-husband lowered his chopsticks before his plate.

“Okay,” he said. “What’s going on? Why do you keep laughing at me?” Noiz choked back another giggle.

“I’m not!” she lied.

“Yes you are!” he yelped. Noiz took in a breath to talk.

“I guess I am,” she said. Mosh tried to stay calm.

“But why?” he asked. Noiz took another sip of sake.

“Tell me something, Mosh-kun,” she said. “What do you do when I’m not home?”

“Homework,” he said.

“And?”

“Read manga and work on my RPGs.”

“That’s all.”

“You sure about that?”

“Yes…” The mouse blinked at her. “Why?” His kitty gave him a little smile as she finished her udon. She set down her chopsticks as well.

“Earlier this afternoon,” Noiz spoke up. “I came home earlier because the staff meeting was canceled.”

“Okay,” Mosh said.

“I was headed to the bathroom when I heard a sound,” she went on. The mouse froze in place.

“A sound?” he asked. “What… sound?”

“You know, the sound you make when it’s just us.”

His face turned a bright red. “You mean… you… you…”

Noiz gave him a naughty grin. She rose to her feet and walked around to him. Mosh’s eyes trailed her every move. Noiz came around behind him. The mouse’s heart beat shot up higher as he could smell her body splash as she took him into her arms. Her breath hit the skin of his right ear. Noiz smiled to herself wickedly.

“Just include me into the fun next time, okay?” she whispered in a husky, flirty way. She licked him on the ear as a closer. Mosh’s face turned bright tomato red as he swallowed hard and nodded. His wife smiled and giggled as she disappeared into the kitchen. Mosh just sat there still red and trembling all over. That’s going to be another night with his hand tonight!
