She turned her back to him to look at Oscar. “Do what?”
“That nasty slobbering he’s doing all over my chair and floor! Does he drool like that all the time?”
She shrugged, turning back to face him. “Pretty much. It’s a bulldog thing. Part of their charm.”
Colin raked his fingers through his hair in frustration, making a mental note to wipe the chair and floor down with disinfectant wipes when they got back before sitting down. He was anal about neatness and cleanliness; having a bunch of kittens and a drooling dog was in direct conflict to that.
“Yeah. Sure. Let’s go.”
He followed her out, locking the door behind him. He’d just gotten the door locked when the first of the barking began. A loud, throaty wail of a bark. Colin cringed.
“Does he do that a lot?”
“Well. He’s… vocal. Bulldogs aren’t normally so vocal, but he had a bad experience before we got him so now he has abandonment issues.”
“Uh-huh.”
“It’s a new place. He’ll adjust once he realizes that you’re coming back.”
Colin wanted to tell her to take the dog back, but looking into her bright blue eyes made it impossible. His dick jerked in his pants as he remembered the feel of her soft body against his and the lavender smell of her perfume, it a sheer test of his restraint being near her.
He shook the thoughts of how much he wanted her free from his mind. It’s thinking with my cock that got me stuck owning four cats and a dog.
He motioned for her to follow him to his Mercedes. “I’ll drive. I can sign the papers when we get back.”
She hesitated at her car a moment and then followed him to his car. “Remind me. We can’t forget, I need to file the paperwork. The shelter is very strict when it comes to formalities.”
Opening the passenger side door for her, Colin waited for her to get in and closed the door behind her once she was settled in. He could feel her eyes following him as he walked around the front of the car to the driver’s side, making him wonder if the attraction was mutual. He couldn’t be certain quite yet, but he suspected it was.
Getting into the car, he started it up. Fifteen minutes later they were walking into Pets and Stuff, a pet supply superstore.
“Wait, we’ll need a cart.”
He was about to grab a hand basket when her voice made him pause. “Huh? What for?” He glanced over his shoulder at her and watched as she pulled a cart from the line.
“You need to get supplies. Start from scratch. You don’t have anything yet, right?”
“Nope. A cat box.”
“Then come on.”
He dutifully followed behind her as she took him through the aisles gathering supplies. It shocked him to see what people would buy for their animals. Who bought booties for dogs? Or doggie diapers? There was an entire aisle filled with toys that claimed to increase your cat’s confidence. Cats had confidence issues? News to him.
“Oh, come on. Are they serious?” He picked up a box of doggie breath mints, which were actually small dog bones that claimed to improve a dog’s breath.
She nodded as she took the box from his fingertips and tossed them into the cart. “Oh yeah.” She bent and grabbed three more boxes of the doggie breath mints. “And you’re going to need them with Oscar, I assure you.”
What in the hell have I gotten myself into?
She started to continue down the aisle when he stopped her, grabbing the cart.
Gabriella looked up at him quizzically. “What?”
“Gabriella, do you realize that I’m a bit of a neat freak. Some would say a germaphobe.”
“You’ll get over it. Besides, it’s a well-documented fact that pets reduce stress.” She continued down the aisle, Colin in tow.
“Sure. I recall you mentioning that. See, I don’t get how cleaning cat boxes and dog drool is relaxing.”
“You’re focusing on the negatives, which are far outweighed by the positives, such as unconditional love and affection. Or if you take Oscar to a park you’ll be twice as likely to score.”
“I assure you. I have no issues in that department.”
She stopped walking and turned to face him directly. Her blue eyes scanned him from head to toe, her brazen examination making him surprisingly uneasy.
Guess this is how women feel when they walk past a construction site, he mused.
She made a soft “humph” sound, turned back to the cart and continued pushing it down the aisle.
Humph? That was it? Talk about a way to shoot down a man’s ego.
