Before I could open the door though, my ears perked up as I heard something behind me. I turned to look towards the bathroom, noticing the doorknob turn. Karyn must have taken a pretty short back. Or maybe I'd been wandering around and musing about her wish longer than I had thought. Either way
The door opened slowly, shining a narrow beam of light into the otherwise darkened bedroom. All I could see was Karyn's silhouette against the brightness as my eyes tried to adjust to the brightness.
"Jon? You still in here Jon?" She asked, looking around, clearly unable to see in the darkness. "Where is THAT dang light switch?" I heard her mutter under her breath.
I turned away from the light from the bathroom before I lost my night vision, and a grin crept across my muzzle as an idea suddenly occurred to me. Maybe NOW was a good time to give her a little reminder of exactly who I was, and that she should show me a bit of respect
I grinned and darted from in front of the door to the side of the bed, out of Karyn's line of sighs. The turned towards where I was, obviously noticing something, but still blind. Looking directly into the light from the open door ruined my eyesight, but it wasn't an idea. I could still make out her blurry shadow. And the sound of her breathing. Not to mention her scent, a rather pleasant combination of soft flowery odors and light sweat.
"J.. Jon? You in here?" She asked again, sounding a bit anxious suddenly. "Is that you Jon?"
I grinned and waited another moment, crouching behind the bed, my ears peaked and listening. I was going to give her a big surprise THIS time.. Teach her to stick a collar on me!
"Jon? Where are Yo. . AHHHHH!!" Karyn shrieked in surprise as she stepped past the edge of the bed, and I POUNCED! She was an easy target, just standing there, and I hit her dead on. I only jumped lightly of course, and made sure I had my claws in. But it was an impress pounce none the less.
I landed right on top of her, knocking her onto her back. I took a moment to grin proudly and purr a bit, pleased with my efforts. Which is why it irritated me a bit when Karyn just giggled at me, apparently not impressed in the least.
"THAT was a silly thing to do, kitten " She said with a giggle, reaching up to scratch between my ears. This, of course, elicited a pleasant throaty purr from me.
"And here I was just looking for a towel before I started my bath " That caught a corner of my attention through Karyn's oh so pleasant scratching. And I abruptly realized a fact that I had not noted earlier in my pride at my work. Karyn was naked. Totally naked. Just about the only thing that was giving her any modest was the fact that I was stretched across her chest.
"GAH!!!" I said, leaping up off of her. If I didn't have fur, my face would have been fire engine red. "I'm.. Er.. Uh. . Sorry Karyn. . Really. I didn't realize you were.. Um.. I forgot.. Ah " I just turned away from her and sat on my haunches, head bowed a bit. How on earth HAD I forgotten that? In retrospect, pouncing her didn't seem like such a brilliant idea after all. And it hardly seemed to have had the desired effect
"That's okay silly. It's what cats do Besides, you're pretty soft and comfy like that " she said with a giggle, getting up a bit. "So, you going to help me find a towel, or what?" she said, smirking in amusement.
