Chapter Ten

“Colt.” She called out, rounding the corner to get to the kitchen. And slam, all her air was gone again. Colt was shirtless, his back to her. An amazing tattoo of some kind of tree—twisted trunk and branches—speared up his spine and spread out across his shoulders. Woven within the branches she could see the hint of other images, a crest of some sort. Words. And the musculature of his back—he could have been a model for a human anatomy book.

“We were a bit too premature,” he said, turning around, holding his shirt in his strong hands.

Talon stared at all that tanned skin, the flex of muscle in his pecs, his arms, and then when her eyes drifted down to his abs she could feel her lips part like she was going to take a bite, and even though she told herself to close it, her mouth hung open. She was counting. Actually counting his ridges like she was in a math class. Ugh. She was not twelve and she wouldn’t act like it.

“Look what I got.” Colt approached her.

She could see what he had!

“This little guy was just taking his time coming around.”

“Oh,” she said, stupidly looking at the little ball of squirming wet, white puppy.

Pull it together. She was a professional. Or working on becoming one.

“Let me…um…” Where was Parker and his interrupting when she really needed it?

There was a strange buzzing in her brain, making it nearly impossible to think. And speaking?

“Let me wash and suction this little guy, and we’ll get him to his mom and see if she accepts him.”

“Why wouldn’t she accept him?”

Why did stern sound so sexy? She’d always imagined she would like easy-going guys. Guys who were open books. Colt was complicated with a capital “C” and she couldn’t get enough.

“He’s smaller than the others. Weaker. And she’s going to need all her energy to nurse the other three. I really need to get her fed and fattened up.”

She quickly wet one of the towels with warm water and rubbed the pup Colt held to stimulate it. She hissed a breath in when a few drops of water trickled down his bare chest and abs to land in the waistband of his pants. She was now envying a drop of water. And was so thirsty.

She stepped in close to Colt, determined to be detached. In control. She suctioned out the pup’s mouth and nose. “Let’s try to reunite them.” She said, proud that she managed to turn away from all the top choice, prime fabulousness like she was the most virtuous vegetarian in town.

She tucked the pup up against his mother, but he didn’t suckle. Talon tried to latch him on, but the mom pushed him away with her nose.

“No, no, no,” Colt said softly, but with a thread of tension in it.

“I’ll keep trying,” she said, not surprised by the mother dog’s rejection but a little bit by Colt’s investment in the proceedings. She added a few things to the list.
