Fourteen

His dream lover was a pissed-off lover . . .

Ivak felt Gabrielle’s presence before he saw her.

At first, an incredible joy suffused him, just from looking at her. But then, he recalled his order for her to stay put at the cottage, and irritation bordering on fury replaced the joy. When God created the world, had He deliberately planted a disobedient gene in women to plague men? They were always doing the opposite of what they were told to do, even when it was for their own good. Just like Eve, who was the model for rebellious women throughout time.

Well, thank God Ivak had thought to assign two vangels to watch over Gabrielle. He would have words for them later. They should have informed him that she’d left Bayou Black and was headed in this direction. Even now, Lucies could be after her, if he was reading Mike’s words correctly: “Save the girl.”

“Will you take over for me?” he asked René. “I’ll be back in a few minutes.”

“Sure,” René said.

Tante Lulu had joined Charmaine up on the stage and was demonstrating the right way to do a shuffle step. And she was good. In fact, some of the crowd gave her a clapping ovation. To which the old lady gave a little bow and said, “You oughta see me jitterbug.”

He walked back and sat down next to Gabrielle. Right away, her scent came up to envelop him in hair-trigger arousal. And it wasn’t her perfume, either. It was her woman scent intended to lure a mate.

Seeking a more neutral subject than, oh, let’s say, S.E.X., he remarked, “Did you have anything to do with Tante Lulu’s outfit today?”

The old lady was wearing cowgirl attire, including a hat and boots.

“She thought you’d be doing a dress rehearsal over at the rodeo arena.”

“That won’t come for another few weeks.”

She crossed one leg over the other and tried to ignore him.

I wonder if she shaved her legs today. They look so smooth and shiny. Dare I touch her knee? Hmmm. Mayhap later.

“What do boots, and chaps, and a hat have to do with a talent show dress rehearsal?”

“It would be at the rodeo arena. I think she was hoping that if she dressed appropriately, someone would let her ride a bull . . . or at least a bronco.”

“God forbid!” Her lips are peach-colored today. I’d wager a fortune that she tastes sweet and juicy. “The bull would run away at sight of her.”

She didn’t even smile at that. In fact, she turned her body slightly away from him. What did she have to be annoyed about? She was the one who’d disobeyed orders intended for her own safety. “Spit it out, wench. What has your thong in a twist?” Oh, that is just great. Now I will be picturing her in one of those wonderfully scandalous undergarments.

“I’ll tell you what’s wrong. If we were somewhere more private, I would hit you.”

“If we were somewhere more private, we would be doing something, but it would not involve violence,” he countered.
