Lydia opened Autumn’s front door, a smile breaking out on her lips when she saw Jackson standing there, his hands stuffed into his jeans, Eddie’s leash wrapped around his wrist. Eddie was sitting patiently next to him, but when he saw Lydia, his tail started to wag like crazy.

Jackson leaned forward and pressed a sweet kiss against her lips and she felt all giddy and warm. Damn, he smelled good. She wasn’t sure what cologne he was wearing, but it made her leg muscles feel like mush. Would it be wrong for her to go through his bathroom cabinet the next time she was over and find out? Just for the sake of curiosity, of course.

“Hey,” he said. “Shall I walk Eddie around the back?”

Autumn appeared behind Lydia, fastening an earring. “You can bring him through,” she said, inclining her head at the hallway. “The kitchen door is open. I’ve put a few beanbags out in case he wants somewhere soft to rest.”

“I’ll take him through.” Lydia held out her hand for the leash. Jackson passed it to her, his fingers caressing hers.

She swallowed hard. He was so damn distracting.

“Let me see this dog,” Griff said, as she walked him into the kitchen. Skyler was cradled in his right arm, her hair fluffy from her bath, wearing a fresh pink onesie covered in printed sheep. She lifted her hand from her drooly mouth and smiled as she looked at Eddie, her eyes full of interest as the dog stopped at Griff’s feet.

“Sit, Eddie,” Lydia said, willing him to obey her. She really wanted to spend tonight with Jackson, and if Eddie wasn’t welcome here, he wouldn’t stay.

Eddie took a calculating look at her and slowly sat, looking up at Griff, his tongue lolling out.

Griff touched the pup with his free hand, and Eddie gave what almost sounded like a purr.

“He likes you,” Lydia said. “That’s his contented sound.”

“Does he always do what you tell him?” Griff asked her.

“It’s Jackson he listens to the most.” She turned her head to see Jackson and Autumn standing in the kitchen. “He can get him to do anything with a command.”

Griff raised a disbelieving eyebrow. Jackson grinned at the challenge.

“Lay down, Eddie,” Jackson said, and Eddie immediately dropped to the floor. Griff blinked, surprised.

“Sit.”

Eddie plopped his backside onto the tile.

“Now come here.”

Without a complaint, Eddie got to his feet and walked over to Jackson. Lydia had to follow him, the leash still coiled in her hand.

“He can stay, right?” Autumn said, looking at Griff.

He shrugged. “Yeah, I guess. But not in the nursery, okay?”

“Of course.” Lydia caught Jackson’s eye. “He’ll be on his best behavior.”

“You’d better be on your best behavior, too,” Griff told his friend. “No getting dirty with Autumn’s sister while I’m out.”

Autumn gave Griff a pointed look. “Ignore him,” she told Jackson. “He’s just anxious about leaving Skyler.” Her expression softened when she mentioned her daughter. “Talking of the baby, I’ve made a list of everything you might need. It’s on the kitchen counter.
