“So, you accepted three different invites and the thought that it may spark some conflict never occurred to you?”
“They didn’t invite me!” Cat just stares, mouth pressed into a disapproving line. She’s wearing the sort of expression she used to pull when Kara would get her coffee order wrong. Mild disappointment and deep disgust. “Well, I was gonna attend anyway, you know that.”
“That doesn’t solve my problem.” Just like that Cat’s hands are on her clothes again, getting rid of her tie altogether, undoing the first two buttons of her shirt so that her neck — corded with muscle but most of all unmarked — is in full view. “Normally a catfight between three of the most powerful omegas in this city would have the entire CatCo staff over it like flies to honey, with my blessing. But not during a CatCo sponsored event. Not under my roof, Kiera.”
“It’s Kara.” She says reflexively, trying and failing to dodge Cat’s fingers as they card through her short hair tousling it to hell. “Will you s— what in Rao’s name are you doing?”
“Precipitating events.” Taking a step back, Cat eyes her critically. Kara stares at herself into the mirror. Absolute shock aside, she looks… handsome. Definitely way more in control of the current events than she feels. “There. Now you can go back out there and solve this.”
“Solve— what am I supposed to do?”
“I don’t give a toss what you do, as long as you do it far, far away from here. Bring all three of them home, for all I care.”
