The ringing of his cell phone woke him some time later. When he moved to get out of bed, Carl tightened his arm and mumbled in protest. Layne smoothed his hand over Carl’s hair.

“I have to get the phone, babe,” he said softly while slipping out from under the blankets. Carl curled around his pillow, pulling it close and burying his face in it.

The ringing stopped before Layne got to it, but he knew who’d called. After swiping his finger across the screen, he brought up Whit’s number then tapped it. He flopped into the chair next to the window, staring out over the lights of the city.

“Hello.” Whit answered.

“Hey, baby girl,” Layne said.

She snorted. “You’re so smooth, but that shit doesn’t work with me.”

Layne chuckled softly. “I’m not that smooth, honey. How are you feeling?”

“Like a beached whale and I’m only five months along.” She grunted. “Did you manage to find a place to stay? When I checked, all the close hotels were full.”

“Yeah, I found a room. How’s Quinn doing?” He wasn’t sure he wanted to mention Carl yet.

Whit sighed. “He’s all right. I had Spencer take him to the doc’s. Got some meds and has to take a couple days off.”

Layne pursed his lips. “At least he’s medicated. See about moving jobs around for the guys. Quinn’s the only one I trust with the new horses and there are two arriving in a couple days. If he’s not better by then, I can drive home to get them settled.”

“Don’t worry about it. If Quinn can’t do it, one of the other guys will get the horses in their stalls. They usually need some time to decompress before we start working with them anyway.” Whit cleared her throat. “What are you doing for help at the event?”

He glanced over and saw Carl lying there, watching him. The blankets covered him from the hips down. The stark white material showed off Carl’s tan skin and scars. There was a light covering of hair over Carl’s chest and a thin line leading down under the sheets.

“Yeah. I met someone who’s going to help me with the horses.” He flashed Carl a smile.

Carl winked back, but didn’t say anything. Layne scrubbed his hand over his hair as he returned his gaze to the lights outside.

“Great.” He heard rustling as though she were shifting something. “Oh, by the way, Nicco is quitting. He wants to move back to Arizona to be closer to his mother.”

“Hmm… Okay. When does he want to leave?” Great. Another problem I need to fix.

Whit hummed then said, “In two weeks. That gives us plenty of time to hire someone.”

Layne looked at Carl. “I might have someone. Don’t post the want ad yet.”

“Okay. Just let me know and I’ll do it.” She yawned. “Ugh! I’m beat. Give me a call sometime tomorrow, huh? I’m sure Spencer will want to talk to you at some point as well.”

“Love you, honey. Tell Spence to treat you well. Sweet dreams.
