Poised on the steps below Jenna’s prone form, Connor wondered whose bright idea it had been to get a personal attack dog. It was a relief to know the several thousand dollars he’d just shelled out for the damn thing were worth it, but it—she, he corrected—wasn’t supposed to be guarding Jenna from him.

The bitch definitely took her job seriously. She stood over Jenna like a lioness guarding her cubs, hackles raised, head lowered, and incredibly white teeth on full display. She wasn’t playing around.

Then again, neither was he.

Connor didn’t know what the fuck had happened while he finished the transaction with Mackintyre, but his nurse looked devasted. He’d left her downstairs, white as snow and trembling.

Jenna had shot past him just as he closed the door behind Mackintyre. She hadn’t stopped when he called her name, had almost fallen back down the stairs in her haste to get up them.

Something had pulled her trigger.

“All right, dog. This is not getting you and me off to a good start. Halt.”

Canine lips peeled back further.

Patience thinning, Connor levelled her with a stare any submissive would submit to. “I’m her protector as much as you are, and she’s been mine a lot longer. Back the fuck down.” He dropped his voice to a snarl matching the dog’s. “Halt.”

The bitch’s snarls lowered to disgruntled grumbles, but she acknowledged his dominance. Licking her lips, she backed away, sat by Jenna’s head with a quiet whine.

“Good girl. Good dog.” Moving carefully, Connor approached Jenna while holding out his hand to the dog. He waited for several long seconds before the bitch sniffed and licked his hand, then laid down with a sigh. “Yeah, you’re a good girl. I need to take care of my other good girl now, okay?”

He rolled Jenna tentatively, supporting her head. Her eyes were wide open, pupils surrounded by the thinnest sliver of green. “I thought we were past this, baby. This was supposed to be behind us.”

Connor lifted her, cradled her, carried her. The winded feeling in his gut wasn’t from his mad dash up the stairs to reach her—it came from the helpless sensation of watching her take a massive tumble away from where they’d been heading.

He laid her on his side of the bed, hoping she’d be comforted by his scent on the pillows when she broke from the shock. Murmuring to her, he stripped her down to bare skin, then found her favorite T-shirt—the original one with the bull on the front—and bundled her into it.

The dog leaped up beside him, sniffing curiously over the covers before settling down next to Jenna, her head resting on his woman’s shoulder. Those insanely intelligent eyes watched every move he made.

“Making yourself at home pretty quick,” he commented dryly. “Just note, when I’m in the bed, you go on the floor. No negotiations on that, dog.”

“Jenna named her Luna.”

Connor’s head whipped up to the doorway. Sarah stood there, half the woman she usually was, with her hands wringing together nervously. “Come on in, Sarah.
