Chapter 15

I’m convinced that the stupid chip in debit cards was sent to this Earth to make my life a living hell.

-Jessie’s secret thoughts

Jessie

“Can you please, please, please, please take Achilles to my place on your way to work?” Ellen pleaded. “I forgot that I have a client I have to meet at her house at seven fifteen. Please, I promise I’ll make it up to you.”

I turned my wrist over to glance at my watch.

“You can leave him here,” I told her. “But if I take him, I’ll be a few…”

Ellen interrupted me. “I can’t leave him here. I have to take him to the vet this afternoon, and to do that, I need to be able to get to him. I don’t have keys to your place. And I can’t take a wolf errrrm, I mean husky, to a client’s house.”

I gave her a pointed look.

She blushed profusely.

“I’ll take him, baby,” I told her. “But you better be thinking up something imaginative to make this up to me.”

With a short, hot, wet kiss to her mouth, I stooped down and scooped up the dog, then was out the door the next second.

Lucky for her he was small enough to be zipped up in my big jacket, otherwise she would’ve really had some making up to do.

Rain or shine, cold or hot, I took my bike. The only time I took my truck, lately, was if Linc needed to ride with me, and those times were becoming fewer and further between.

Surprisingly enough, on my way to drop the little wolf pup off at Ellen’s place, he stayed curled up in my jacket, not moving even once to get out or move.

By the time I was dropping him off at her place, I realized I didn’t have a key, and had to leave him in the yard with a huge ass bowl of water, and my snack cake I’d intended to eat on the way to work. I was, unfortunately, late once I’d tracked down the water bowl.

That didn’t much matter, though. My boss would overlook a few minutes of lateness due to me coming in last night when I sure as fuck hadn’t wanted to.

Being the supervisor on the shift sucked balls sometimes.

“Yo.”

I flipped the helmet up and looked at Peters. “What?”

“That belong to you?”

I looked in the direction he indicated and found a grin forming on my face.

“Yeah, that’s mine,” I said. “How did you know?”

“Got you written all over it,” he murmured. “That, and she’s glaring a hole in your back.”

I snorted.

“Yeah, she does look pretty goddamned pissed,” I agreed, standing up.

My knees ached like a motherfucker.

“I’ll cover this for you until you get back from…that.”

I flipped him off and he started to chuckle.

“Fuck you,” I told him, pulling the gloves off that made me look like my middle finger was a few inches long.

“I think you’d enjoy fucking her better, to be truthful.”

I sighed, choosing not to answer that statement.

There was no reason to goad him on.
