Chapter Thirteen

Both Diamond Dame and Sweetpea Sue were in season. Finally! Though Cat was certain of it, she wanted Helen to check them out before proceeding. Having slept in fits and starts once she’d landed in her bed with Aidan, she didn’t trust her own judgment. The trouble was, the vet hadn’t shown up to check out Fairy Tail as she’d said she would.

Cat placed a call but got Helen’s voice mail, so she left a message. Then she called both Martin Bradley and Dean Hill to tell them their mares were in season. More voice mails. More messages.

After waiting to hear from someone for nearly an hour, her nerves were on edge. She called the vet again and had to leave yet another message.

“Hi, Helen. Cat. Just trying to scare you up. I’m waiting for you to check on the mares who are finally in season. And on Fairy Tail. Call even if you can’t make it, okay?”

Hanging up, she shoved the cell phone back in her pocket.

What now?

Raul came up from behind her, asking, “Do you want to get started?”

She didn’t want to, not really. She wanted a day off. Maybe a week off. How long did it take to get over deep grief? But she was running a business and she had two broodmares who were going to help pay her bills, and she couldn’t ignore that. It didn’t mean she’d loved George any less or that she would forget him. That was part of the problem. She couldn’t erase the picture of the dogs digging him up from her mind.

Or what she and Aidan had been doing just before the dogs found him.

“The mares?” Raul reminded her.

“Since we have two ready for cover, I guess we really can’t wait any longer.” The owners would expect her to breed their mares, vet or no vet. “I don’t understand why Helen isn’t getting back to me. She was supposed to be here this morning and didn’t even call to tell me that she was going to be late.”

Raul didn’t comment on the vet’s disappearing act. Instead, he asked, “Which mare do we cover first?”

Martin Bradley chose that moment to walk in on them.

“My mare first,” he demanded. “Hill’s not here, so his mare can wait. Two of his are already pregnant anyway.”

Not that it mattered, Cat thought. Getting to both of them in the same day would be no problem. Neither was going to go out of season in one day. Still tense after all that had happened the day before, she didn’t need any added pressure.

Thankfully, Dean Hill hadn’t gotten back to her, so she nodded and said, “Have Bernie bring out Sweetpea Sue, and you handle On the List.”

“If she’s ready, she doesn’t need a teaser stallion.” Martin pushed a tense hand through his dyed hair. “Just bring out Desert Son and let him mount her and get it over with. I want it done.”

What in the world was wrong with him? Cat wondered. She’d been
