“Thank you, Mistress.” Kaegan’s mouth quirked into an easy grin and relaxed visibly in her arms. Warmth bloomed in his chest at her attention and snuffed the insecurity that often tugged at him—the fear that she’d no longer find him useful or amusing. His previous Mistress had tired of him after only a couple weeks of service, and Kaegan couldn’t help but wonder why he was left behind—maybe he spoke too freely about nonsensical human things or perhaps he simply wasn’t good enough—but the smile on Mistress Karena’s face calmed his anxiety. He supposed he was at least doing something right. Besides, his future wasn’t truly his anyway.
Eyes alight with excitement, Kaegan scrambled eagerly to lay beside his Mistress, wiggling free from the blanket twisted around his legs. The blanket billowed in the air after he shook it out, dragging the bedspread over them. Kaegan sighed contentedly and snuggled into his Mistress’ side, nosing at her neck and hummed pleasantly.
Despite his shy smile, his chest puffed with pride that she enjoyed his scent. Kaegan blinked innocently, “I hope you won’t be upset with me, Mistress, but,” his mouth quirked into a playful smirk as he reached around to smooth a hand along the length of her torso, “I do have a secret agenda. Other than cuddles.”
