Chapter 14

Two weeks later, Paige had to admit that Luke had impressed the heck out of her.

Apparently, when he dedicated himself to something, he succeeded. Muffin and Luke had been training relentlessly, appearing almost daily for the next lesson. She and Bandit were getting quite accustomed to welcoming the two of them to the kitchen for a drink after training. Despite a few flirtatious touches and looks, however, nothing romantic had happened between Luke and her, which both pleased and disappointed Paige. Pleased her mind, disappointed her body. Her heart? Undecided, but no doubt longing for more, more, more, and more.

Unfortunately, the more she saw Luke relating to his dog, the more attractive he became, and the less she could remember that he was a lawyer from Boston. Especially when he was so patient with his dog. The man was becoming a complete dog person, even though he'd probably never admit it.

She'd also been having recurring nightmares about law, only in her dreams, Howard wasn't present. Instead, it was Luke who was standing there looking disgusted and irritated when she was loaded onto the stretcher. Not once, not in a single dream did Luke run after her, making sure she was okay. It was always her mom who was with her in the hospital. Never her dad, never Luke. It used to be Howard standing over her, letting her be wheeled away, but now it was Luke. Why? Because he had now become the man her heart wanted to trust? The one she was so afraid would let her down?

"Paige? Are you all right?"

Paige shot a smile at Luke, who was sitting in the passenger seat of her truck, the dogs in the back. "Yeah. Fine."

"You sure?" He searched her face. "You seemed sad for a minute."

Sad. He'd noticed her emotions, and they hadn't even been talking. Damn him. She was so going to fall in love with him if he didn't stop doing those kinds of thoughtful, caring things. "Thanks for asking."

He smiled. "My pleasure."

She smiled back, her entire body warming, before she cleared her throat and tried to focus. "We're here." She slowed her pickup truck and pulled into a parking lot. "Today is distraction training."

"Distraction training?"

"Thanks to your hard work, you and Muffin have managed to master the basics, but you've trained only in my yard and yours. Muffin needs to learn that he has to listen to you, even when there are distractions. Today, we'll use people as a distraction."

She hooked both dogs to their leashes, then handed Muffin's leash to Luke. "Let's go."

Paige led the way from the gravel parking lot to the sidewalk in front of the main row of stores in town. There were a number of people strolling about, many of whom were tourists with gaudy hats and t-shirts.

"Okay, do the same heeling drill we do at my house. If he gets too far ahead of you, turn around. If he drifts to the right, turn left and vice versa. Never pull on him or call him.
