Keiko snuggled deeply into her towel and sucked on the bottle. The little puppy was doing well and already Shadow could see the baby dog had grown. Born a week ago, she now eagerly nursed and went longer between bottles.

In the wee hours of the morning, Shadow loved holding and watching her. Usually, she ate, then she went to the bathroom and snuggled back to dream in puppy land once again. At ten days old, she should be opening her eyes, but Shadow didn't know if she would be here long enough to see them.

Shocked, Jim hadn't asked her when she was going, but rather let her stay as long as she wanted and admittedly, she was enjoying her time here. The Cupid story was outlined and already the majority of it was written. There were still a few interviews she wanted to conduct.

While Jim worked, she finished the erotica book and began the article, which she hoped to turn in right before she left.

Any day now, she expected Jim to tell her it was time she found a way back to Austin. For some reason, that bothered her. Last night, he kissed her again and this time when he walked up those stairs, the urge to follow him had been fierce. Watching him leave, her body in tune with every move he made urging her to pursue him.

Now, whenever their eyes collided, a zing of awareness filled her, a drawing sense of need to be close, to come together. The memory of the softness of his lips against hers made her anxious.

A tingle of cognizance zipped along her spine and she glanced up to see him standing in the doorway, watching her.

"She's eating well."

"Yes," Shadow said, her breath constricting at the appearance of his rumpled pajama bottoms slung low on his hips. His dark hair was tossed and his liquid brown eyes seemed to consume her.

"Couldn't sleep."

Unable to repress a chuckle, she said, "Me, neither. Then it was time for her feeding."

"Are you hungry?"

"It's two in the morning," she said with a laugh. Hunger raged through her, but not for food, but rather him. Just gazing at his muscular physique, she wanted to trail her fingers down his muscled chest. There was so much she wanted to experience with Jim and the thought shocked her.

"True, but I make some mean scrambled eggs."

He sat beside her on the couch where she pulled the dog box next to her.

"The fur on her back is almost white," he said stroking the dog's fur. "Looks to me like she will be a beautiful animal," he said, looking with longing at her in the light of the lamp.

"Yes," she said, her voice cracking.

"If I could keep her, I would," she said. "But I don't think my roommates would appreciate me bringing a Lab puppy into the apartment. I'd get kicked out and it wouldn't be fair to Keiko."

The idea of separating from the dog left her chest aching. How quickly they'd bonded and now she had to break that bond forever.
