The meeting Samantha Twist and Mayor Martin Stovall had with Lila Carpenter and her boss the town’s Comptroller*. It was the usual requests for additional funding for various public services; ranging from trash pick up to the often underused snow removal. It wasn’t until the kittens that Samantha brought in the meeting begun to stir, that the meeting derailed and everyone was giving the mewling critters attention.
“So you just decided to adopt two cats on Saturday,” Martin letting the male named Saffron nibble on one of his fingers. Being a were-mer; his fish like scent attracted the two kittens, both clearly hungry as Jasmine the grey tabby with blue eyes was busy lapping up the saucer of cat’s milk.
“Oh they’re so cute,” Lila purring as she gently scratches Jasmine behind the ears.
“Even Frances was surprised I went and adopted these two from the local animal shelter,” Samantha grinning.
“As enjoyable as these two kittens are,” the comptroller states; “we still have these added finances to allocate.”
“You and I can take care of that in my office Marcus,” Martin states handing Saffron back to Samantha; “It’s clear your assistant and the town chancellor here are letting their inner felines out with these bundles of joy.”
While Martin’s were senses were not as acute as most were’s; he knew Samantha was a were-feline and could clearly tell that Lila was a were-tigress. The town comptroller was like Martin; a were-mer. Standing at six feet the male wer-mer was sporting jet black shoulder length hair and a two day old stubble. If it wasn’t for his suit; one could see the tribal tattoos all over his chest and arms signifying his Samoan heritage.
“Very well Martin,” Marcus, the comptroller looking at Lila; “I still need the figures for the school board’s new budget. With Benton Knight funding the construction of a new elementary school; the current budget allotted from the town’s property taxes will also need to be re-evaluated.”
Lila just nodded as she got Jasmine and Saffron to take a swipe at the string she dangled in front of them. Both Martin and Marcus left the board room and Samantha speaks up.
“So what’s new with you?”
“New boyfriend,” Lila smiling as Saffron tried chasing the string; “I’m seeing Lance Knight.”
Samantha swore, “really! Your dating Benton’s brother?”
“More than just that,” Lila smiling; “I’m shagging him. He’s going to be my future husband. He’s just to love struck to realize it.”
Samantha laughs, “Does Benton know? Or even care? Wait, don’t answer that;” Samantha states as she collects her kittens. “How did you two meet?”
“At his inauguration ceremony for the elder council,” Lila getting up as well; “We had lunch date, then a diner at his place.” Lila giving Samantha sly look, “the rest I leave to your imagination.”
Samantha laughs; she knows exactly what Lila was referring too. In fact when they first met up at the start of the meeting; Samantha detected the lingering scent of a were-panther all over the were-tigress.
“Does this mean you’ll be moving out of your brother’s place,” Samantha giggling as she and Lila leave the room.
“We have yet to discuss living arraignments,” Lila smiling. Feeling her cellphone vibrate she looks at the message
‘Benton had my testing rescheduled for Wednesday, so I am free tonight to skip dinner and go straight to dessert. Wink Wink.’
Lila giggles as she reads the message from Lance. Replying; ‘might be working late. Reports to finish; you can thank your brother’s altruism for funding the new elementary school. I wouldn’t say no to a bit of takeout supper over here and testing the structural integrity of my desk. Wink Wink.’
Lila hits send and smiles at Samantha as she walks back to her office. Her phone vibrates with another message.
‘oooh Naughty. But perhaps we should keep the fun in the privacy of our homes for the time being. Are you in the mood for some Korean BBQ?’
Lila sitting at her desk; feeling flushed with arousal texts her next message; ‘Your place Then! Bring plenty of kimchi and a big dopey grin.’
Lila hits send and immediately gets up from her desk. Quickly leaving the town hall; the scent of her arousal trailing behind her she hops on her motor bike and races to Lance’s house.
******
“Dam,” Lance getting turned on after reading Lila’s last message. Getting up from his desk he ensures that the safe containing Frieda’s trust is secure and races out of the gazette. Ignoring the various employees wanting his opinion on an article or two; Lance makes a beeline to the Korean restaurant across the street. Placing his order for some takeout; Lance waits impatiently as a horny were-tigress is by now prowling his backyard waiting to jump his bones.
