Seducing the Professor by Sabel Simmons Page A

carried it to the delivery room.  Paul was examining the birthing canal and cursed.
    “The foal has turned.  We might have a breached birth.”
    He was covered in a sheen of sweat and Brett did not fare any better.  They both looked up when she walked in.  She looked at Paul and explained to him what she did.
    “I cannot guarantee that it is going to work.  It might be too late already, but there is another alternative if you want to save Yellow Blossom.”
    He nodded.  “I know and I considered it, but I think it is too late.  She is already very weak and … just give it to her.”
    Alexandra nodded and kneeled next to the horse, cooing to her in a soft voice.
    “Hi there, beautiful lady.  Relax now … there you go.”
    She searched for the artery and Paul gasped.  Alexandra hesitated and looked at him.
    “It has to be administered into her main artery … it is the only way it will be immediately effective.”
    She waited for his nod and then efficiently and accurately found the artery and slowly administered the emulsion.  It was a slow process and had to be done evenly.  She sighed when the last bit pressed through the needle.  She took the antibiotic immediately and injected it in her flank.
    She leaned back and stroked her neck, praying silently.  Samuel handed her the thin needled syringe with a similar emulsion.  She probed and searched and then quickly inserted the needle as deep as it would go, emptying it as slowly as she did the other. This time into the foal.
    “We’ll administer the antibiotic as soon as the foal is borne.”
    She rose and looked at Paul.
    “Would you allow me to try and turn the foal?  She is too weak for a breach birth.”
    He nodded and barely moved to make space for her in front of him.  He closed his hands around her hips, offering her his strength.  Samuel assisted with the arm length gloves and she slowly reached into the birthing canal, soothingly talking to the panting horse.
    It was an extremely slow process and within minutes she was drenched in sweat.  Paul took his shirt off and kept wiping her dry.
    “No, no, no!  Blossom relax darling!  Just a little more!”
    Alexandra’s arms were killing her and she panted with exertion.  She felt Blossom’s need to push the foal out and worked faster.  The moment she slipped the foal into place, Blossom started straining and the foal came with as Alexandra pulled her hands from the birthing canal.
    Paul drew her quickly back and out of the way and Brett immediately took over. He pulled the gloves from her arms and wiped her brow with his shirt.  She was so tired she did not even try and resist.  He pulled her in his arms and watched as Brett and Samuel literally tried to lift Yellow Blossom to her feet.  She shook her head irritably and rose gracefully to her feet.  She nuzzled the foal and started licking him clean. He seemed very weak and everyone held their breaths.  Eventually he wiggled and tried to push to his feet.  He got to his knees and then plopped back over on the floor.  Blossom nuzzled him again and he pushed to his knees and then he rose on wobbly legs.  Everyone held their breaths.  He stood unmoving, his knees wobbling, then he took a small step and then another until he stood next to Blossom.
    Everyone cheered and Alexandra felt the tears running down her cheeks.
    “Good boy!”
    Paul’s arms tightened around her and he pulled her back against him. His breath was warm against her cheek.
    “You did well, my love.  You did real well!”
    She smiled and turned her head to look at him.  It was natural that his head lower ed and their lips met in a devastatingly tender kiss.
    Amy clasped her hands over her mouth and literally jumped up and down witnessing the kiss.  Even Mandy was elated.  Slade rolled his eyes and Mandy slapped him on the arm.
    She pulled him outside and immediately started talking about marriage with Amy.
    “You two are literally pulling the rug from under their
