Chapter 18

Of course Becky would fall for R.J. Every woman succumbed to his Nordic charm.

Slate glowered at his exam table where the young horse lay sedated.

Ronan nodded his head and spoke to Becky. “Doc, I’ll give you a ride into town. We can finish our conversation from before.”

Unable to speak, Slate’s throat tightened, immobilizing his jaw and a loud hissing worked outside his ears.

Becky smiled at Ronan. She didn’t jerk away when his hand closed over hers. In no time, she’d be under his spell and he’d get the blood sample and medical records he so desperately wanted.

“MacAllister.” Ronan nodded his head at Slate who offered a stiff smile. The men weren’t on good terms, but in Montana you helped your neighbor, called a truce while the danger was imminent then returned to the feud once all was clear.

Leaving with She-Doc, Ronan ensured the anger between the men a longer life.

“Um, Slate, is there anything I can do to help before I go?” Becky stretched out a hand and stroked Mini-Pig’s silky mane. “I feel so… helpless, you know? Poor little guy.” Husky and low, her tone caressed the back of Slate’s neck.

Ronan waited by the door for her, pulling his gloves from his pocket and flicking something from the shoulder of his coat. Priss.

“I think you’ve done more than your share, Doc. You know? Thanks to you, Mini-Pig didn’t have to eat a bullet.” Slate shook his head, amazed. “I got him home. I can take it from here. Animals are my specialty, remember?” He tried to push some of their time together into her mind so she wouldn’t head out with Ronan thinking only of, well, Ronan – the bastard. “You don’t have to leave. You could stay. I’ll take you in to town later, if you’d like.” He lowered his voice further. “We need to talk about last night.”

Wrong words.

Becky’s eyes widened and her mouth formed an O. “Uh, um, well, the thing is, I need to dictate some charts and check in with my parents. But I’ll watch for you, okay?” She darted outside with Ronan in tow.

Slate’s stomach dropped. He’d never understand women.
