Chapter Twelve

Zoe was in the kitchen getting a cup of coffee for Silver, when a happy gurgle behind her caught her attention. She’d left Keira in the far corner, playing with her toys, and this sound was much closer than that. Zoe turned.

“Hey, sweet thing, are you sneaking up –” She froze when she saw Keira walking – on toddly, wobbly little legs, to be sure – but still… walking. “Oh, my God! Keira…”

The baby smiled, paused, wavered as she fought to find her balance, and then carried on around the sofa, determined.

“Zoe?” Silver appeared in the bathroom door, his blond hair wilder than ever and holding a wrench, looking concerned. “What’s up with Keira? Is she OK?”

“C’mere, Silver!” Zoe gestured him over, pointed. “You won’t believe it.”

Silver approached, glanced around the living room corner, and stopped dead. “She’s walking!”

“Yep.” Zoe grinned at Keira, who suddenly plopped backwards onto her diapered bum with a little indignant cry. “Well. Kinda.”

“That was the first time?” Silver watched the baby get to her knees, grasp the sofa to pull herself up, then take a few hesitant steps forward and away. “Ummm… now the second time?”

“Yeah. First time ever. I mean, she’s been standing for a couple of weeks, just holding on to things, you know. But full-on walking alone? Never before this minute.”

“Well, holy shit.” Silver’s handsome face broke into a massive grin. “Way to go, kiddo!”

“She’s growing up on me,” Zoe said wistfully. “I know what people mean now, when they say that it happens so fast.”

“I’ve gotta take your word for it,” Silver said, stroking his lumberjack beard with a massive hand. “Daddyhood is not in my future, sweetheart.”

“Never say never,” she told him wryly. “This little angel showed up in my life pretty suddenly, as you may recall.”

“True enough, Zee. You got me. I guess I may become a Daddy by default, somehow.” He flashed her a grin, his silver eyes shimmering in that cool, sexy way that they had. “Who knows? Maybe I’ll fall for a hot tattooed blonde chick with an adorable kid just learning to walk…”

Zoe threw back her head and laughed. God, how she’d come to adore this man over the past couple of months living in his house. Silver had shown himself to be exactly zero threat – he was quite the opposite, actually. He’d shown up just that morning on short notice to fix the bathroom sink, and the good-natured flirting and teasing had started within seconds of him knocking and strolling on in the door.

Yeah, he was hot and built from karate, and kind and sweet and funny. He was amazing with Keira, and he treated Zoe with the utmost respect, never making her feel like he was in her personal space, even when he was within inches of her. And despite the flirting and saying that he’d fall for a hot blonde with a kid, Silver was like an older brother, in a way, like the way Wolf was to her. Like
