pacified.
Max stood rooted to the floor. They had all heard from
Alcide that Dean had hired someone to help take care of Stan. The impression
he had gotten was that she was an old lady. This lady was far from that.
Jasper was in the first stall and the sun shone behind her and it seemed to hit
every strand of red in her hair. She wasn’t wearing a slip under her dress and
he could make out the silhouette of her body. What a site, instantly he was
attracted to her. She was definitely something. He slowly moved closer to her
to get a better look.
“Lucy what are you doing here?” Dean’s voice thundered from
the back of the stable.
Lucy jumped and turned towards the sound of Dean’s voice, a
little shocked that he sounded so angry. Jasper didn’t appreciate that she was
ignoring him and he put his head down and butted it against the back of her
legs, almost lifting her off the ground. She let out a startled shriek and
lost her breath in the next second when she collided with a man’s muscled
chest.
She looked up into incredible blue eyes and tousled sandy
blonde hair; she blinked a few times, sucking in a deep breath. Holy smokes,
were all the men here smoking hot or what?
“Are you okay?” Max asked her, concern in his voice.
“Uh… yes, thank you.” She looked away and saw Dean stalking
towards them, unaware that she was still in Max’s arms. Great, what had she
done now? She looked up at Max again and realized that he was still holding
her, she pushed against his chest and he released her reluctantly. Felling
flustered, she wondered briefly at the butterflies she had felt in her belly
when she had looked into Max’s eyes.
“Max, why did you let her get near Jasper?” Dean asked as
he took Lucy’s arm and pulled her further away from him.
“Please Dean, it’s not his fault. He wasn’t right here when
we came in.”
“Sorry boss, I was working on the ledgers you asked for. I
didn’t hear them come in.”
Lucy pulled her arm out of Dean’s grasp and backed away from
him. She couldn’t think around this much testosterone. She looked up and
found both men watching her, one with a stern expression, and the other? Well
quite frankly he wasn’t disguising his interest in her. Nervously she moved
back towards Reggie, seeking the safety of the child. The poor kid had no idea
what to think.
“Reggie where are those puppies you promised to show me?”
Lucy smiled down at her as she took her hand again and let her lead her to the
back of the stables. Whew what the hell was wrong with her? She had never
felt the way she did around Dean, and now there’s another guy she was attracted
to. What were the odds?
Lucy realized that both Dean and Max were following them
through the stable. She glanced back a few times to meet Dean’s hungry eyes.
Max’s eyes she met only once and realized he was checking her out. Wow, she’d
be a puddle in no time just from the looks they were giving her. Great, now
she had something else to worry about.
Lucy listened to Reggie and forced herself to respond
appropriately to her when she asked her questions. She seemed totally
oblivious to the men that followed them.
“Lucy this is Ruby.” Reggie said in a quiet voice. “If she
likes you, then she’ll let you see her puppies.” Reggie motioned for her to crouch
down a little.
Lucy obediently squatted down a little, carefully though,
she didn’t want to get her dress dirty. Ruby was a beautiful German shepherd.
She perked her ears up as she came towards them. She gave Reggie a quick lick
on the cheek and licked her hand when she giggled, and then she stood in front
of Lucy.
Lucy held her hand out towards her so could sniff it and
then Ruby pushed her nose into her hand. Lucy laughed and stroked Ruby’s head,
scratching behind her ears and just above her tail on her back. She pushed
against her enthusiastically and Lucy lost her
