Rosset's and Spots (Werecats book 3)

Prologue

"Alright and turn this way?" 

Phoenix nodded turning his body and looking over his shoulder. The shutter of the camera quick and loud as the camera woman took his picture. The flashing lights and set up irritating his eyes, but it wouldn't be long till it was over. 

"Next I want, you looking up, one hand through your hair as you look at me from the side"

Changing his pose again, Phoenix did as he was instructed. Scenting several of the shoot staff get excited. He held back a sneeze. This always happened when he had this particular camera woman. She seemed to know just how to pose him to make people swoon. The camera clicked again as she all but bounced around him to get him from different angles. 

"Ah Nix, you make a sexy canvas" 

"Come on Lyra aren't we done yet" Phoenix groaned, but obediently changed his position when she asked him to. 

"Why got some where to be" Lyra teased, wiggling her eyebrows at him. 

Sticking his tongue out at her before grinning. He did have somewhere to be. He needed to fly home. He'd heard from his sister that Peter had finally came back to their home town. The need to go see him was like a weight in his stomach. His cheetah chirped in his mind as he thought about his friend. The way he was always there for him when they were younger, the way he'd defended him and calmed him down. 

"You're blushing"

Lyra's sing song voice brought him back from his memories, his face and ears burning as he fixed her with a glare. Which melted immediately. She was the one camera person he liked enough to joke with. 

"Are we done" phoenix asked his cheetah letting out a distressed meow. 

"Yeah, we can be" Lyra nodded quickly at his distress. 

This was the other reason Phoenix liked Lyra. She always stopped whenever he felt uncomfortable and was done for the day. He'd had so many incidents of shifting in front of camera crews when he didn't want to. His problem still hadn't gotten better, but he'd gotten better at noticing the signs and the feelings that came along with an abrupt shift. As did many of his close team and his agent Echo. Echo was the best agent/manager he could have asked for. 

After finishing the shoot for the day Phoenix rushed to the air port. It was time to go home. To his pride. To his family. And to Peter.
