Zeke was beyond pissed. Furious even. The gate to his zebra pen was wide open and his zebra, Zaid, was gone. He was going to kill someone.

“Zaid!” He shouted and waited a minute. Hot breath tickled the back of his neck and Zeke sighed in relief. He turned to find Zaid standing there with his ears perked forward. “Really? What if an inspector showed up?”

One of Zaid’s large ears twitched. His big brown eyes softened and Zaid sighed. “Don’t look at me like that.”

Zaid’s upper lip pushed out and his head bobbed. He stepped back, his muscles quivering. Zeke crossed his arms and waited. Zaid shifted and a naked man took the zebra’s place. “Sorry.” Zaid said while he stood. He walked over to Zeke with a smile. “Forgive me?’

As much as Zeke wanted to oogle his naked boyfriend he wasn’t having it. “I told you an inspector is scheduled for a surprise sometime this week.”

Zaid frowned. “How is it a surprise when you know he’s coming?”

Zeke shook his head and pinched the bridge of his nose. “I just know the week he’s coming, not exactly when.”

“So I have to be a zebra full time for a week?”

“Basically.” Damn, he wanted to jump Zaid right now.

Judging from Zaid’s smirk the bastard knew how much Zeke wanted him. “I can do that but can you?”

Zeke smirked. His gaze moved over Zaid. He was dirty but he made it look sexy. A light sheen of sweet highlighted his muscles and his flaccid cock gave a twitch of life. “If I make it a week with no sex you have to do the laundry for a month, if you win, I’ll do the laundry for a month.”

Zaid took a step back. “You’re on.” His body twitched and a zebra took his place. Zaid snorted and made a whinny noise then trotted off to the pen. Zeke shook his head and walked over Zaid to close the gate.

A car came down the drive. Zeke recognized the man driving, it was the inspector. Well, it looked like their bet didn’t matter now.
