Disclaimer: Chapter 1

AN- Yay! My computer is fixed! And I'm caught up on the stories I'm reading… which means an update for you guys!

A servant knocked on his door. "Dinner is ready, my lord." They called. "Thank you." Lane answered extremely frustrated with his mane. He had spent an hour combing it, and it still was a mess of tangles. "Screw it." He muttered to himself, throwing the comb down and walking out of his room.

Once again, he was the first in the dining room. He sat down at the head of the table, and drummed his claws.

He looked up when he heard someone clear their throat.

Riley walked into the room, looking very angry and grouchy in a nice dress suit.

Wendy followed in after him, leading Penny and Ruth by their arms.

"Sir, we thought you two would like company tonight, so I invited Riley and Penny to join you for dinner." Wendy explained, scurrying out of the dining room as fast as she could go.

"Hi Lane! Fancy meeting you here. We didn't mean to interrupt your little dinner party, but I was saying to Penny here that we, meaning her and I, should go out sometime, and things just happened to work out!"

Lane gave Riley his best glare.

Penny also gave Riley her best glare.

Ruth began eating her food, ignoring the glares.

"So, hear my latest idea for world domination? I was thinking perhaps a coffee shop that sells Starbucks quality coffee at half the price... still making profit and run Starbucks out of business and then raise the prices back up to create a worldwide monopoly on coffee. How does that sound Penny?"

Lane's face continued to redden, until Ruth and Penny were sure it was purple beneath the fur.

"RILEY! We don't care what your plans for world domination are! Get the hell outta here now!" Lane screamed, yanking his chair back and stomping away to his room.

Everyone stared at his empty chair.

"Well, that went well. Hey Penny, sex now? or sex later?" Riley asked.

Penny slapped Riley, and went back to her work, muttering about inconsiderate men and their little minds working more than their larger minds.
