Chapter Eight

“Are you sure you don’t need me?” Jude must have asked Sable the same question six times.

“I always need you, baby.” Sable batted her eyes at him. “Now go take care of your horses.”

“Blech!” Janis pretended to stick a finger down her throat and gag. “How do you stand him?”

“He’s cute,” Sable said.

Jude made a face at Janis. He walked over to Sable and put his arms around her. “You sure? I’ll stick around if you want me to.”

Sable hugged him, and Janis watched them suck face. A tiny pang of regret pierced her heart. She wondered if Noah and Wade had concluded their business at home and returned to the apartment. Or had she really seen the last of them.

Jude came up for air and wiggled his hips against Sable’s.

Sable gave him a little shove. “Down, boy. Now I know why you want to hang around here.”

He laughed and swatted her butt.

“Wow. That was some kiss.” Janis fanned her face with her hand. “Sable, I swear you put my brothers under a magic spell.”

Sable laughed. “Horndogs! Both of them.” She winked at Jude. “Use up some of that energy on the horses. Go on. Don’t you have enough to do without worrying about me?”

“How many horses do you have stabled?” Janis asked, curious.

“Too many,” Sable said. “Eleven horses are too much for one man to take care of.”

“One man?” Janis echoed. Her brothers offered boarding and stud service in addition to taking care of their own animals. They’d always hired extra help if they needed it.

“Jonas is busy in his lab.” Jude’s voice took on a defensive tone. “He’s working on selective breeding. He says eventually we’ll have the best horses in the state.”

“If you live that long.” Sable’s brow furrowed.

“So why not hire some help?” Janis asked.

“I like doing things my own way.” Jude got that bulldog expression on his face, and Janis knew there was no changing his mind.

She suspected her brother’s desire for privacy had a lot to do with their unusual marriage. She was sure they didn’t want their business all over town. Gossip ran wild in Black Wolf, and her brothers wouldn’t want Sable or the boys harassed.

“I’ll help you.” The words were out of Janis’s mouth before she even realized she’d said them.

Jude looked at her like she was crazy. “You never liked working in the stable when you lived here.”

“But I did it when I had to. I know how to take care of horses.”

Jude shook his head adamantly. “Stay here and help Sable.”

Sable put her hands on her hips. “I don’t need any help. You do. If Janis doesn’t mind, I think it’s a great idea.”

“Okay you’re outvoted here,” Janis said. “Let’s do it. We’ll get finished twice as fast.”

Jude hesitated then shrugged. “Okay then.” His eyes locked on Sable. “I’ll have my cell. If you need me, call.”

“Yeah, yeah.” Sable started to wipe down the kitchen table.

Janis and Jude stopped in the den to take a peek at the babies in their crib.
