Page 28 of Nanny For Biker Wolf Daddy

Their arms brushed against each other, sending a bolt of electricity exploding inside of him. He discretely adjusted his pants because they were starting to get a little tight. The twilight faded, and the night sky loomed above them. The kids started to yawn, even though they did their best to hide it.

“Time for bed, kiddoes,” Savvy announced.

“Can we stay up a little longer?” Drake asked.

“Sorry, Charlie. Young people need at least eight hours of sleep, and you still have to take a shower,” she said.

“My name is Drake, not Charlie,” he said indignantly.

“My bad.” Savvy laughed.

“Colby, can you take care of the fire once you guys are done hanging out here? I’m going to help Savvy get the kids into the shower and to bed.”

“Sure thing,” Colby said.

He read with the kids and put them to bed. Savvy tucked them in and gave them a kiss goodnight.

There was an awkwardness as they stood outside of the playroom.

“Well, goodnight,” she said. She turned and quickly walked back to her room. He wondered at her reaction. Was it because she was tired or repulsed by him? Or did she by some chance feel the same thing that he did and it made her uncomfortable?

He went to his room and turned on The Marine to give himself some noise to fall asleep to.

The next morning, he tried to focus on the cases he had coming up soon in court, but his thoughts kept returning to Savvy. She had haunted him the night before. In his dreams, she had come to him, naked. Savvy pressed herself against him, touching him and tasting him. He almost felt like a teenager when he woke up with a hard-on from hell.

Electricity exploded inside of him every time they got near each other. A heat built inside of him. He hadn’t felt anything close to it since he and Eva first got together. The feelings he had when he got near Savvy were even more intense. They almost felt like a complete family when they made their trip to Santa Fe.

Even if he could get over the fact that she was his nanny, there was still that little niggle in the back of his mind that warned him that she was hiding something from him. Grabbing his phone, he called his brother.

“Hey, what’s up?” Sebastian asked.

“Why does something have to be up?”

“Because you’re calling me during the day. You only do that when something is going on.”

“I was just wondering if you’ve picked up any information about Savvy?” Rory asked.

“Not yet. As far as anyone can tell, she led a normal life. She went to work at a bar where everyone loved her. When she wasn’t at the bar, she was at home or with Beth and Taryn. Everything she told you about Gabe checked out. As far as I can tell, she isn’t hiding anything.”

“What about her family?”

“She doesn’t seem to have any. Her mother is still alive, but from what I can tell, they are estranged. I don’t know why. No one seems to know why. What’s up?”

“Savvy is great. The kids love her. My gut just keeps telling me she’s hiding something from me.”

“So far, she’s on the up and up. I’ll have my guy in Wyoming keep snooping around. He doesn’t have another job right now. Your gut is always right.”

“Thanks, Bro. I have to get to court.”

Rory was pleased a couple hours later when he managed to work out a plea deal for a woman who had been caught shoplifting food. She had a son who had type-1 diabetes and didn’t have enough money to get food for the special diet he needed. She pled guilty and got community service she could do at her kids’ school, and it wouldn’t go on her record.

He called Amy. “Can you come to the courthouse and meet a client of mine? I want you to take her to the grocery store and get her at least a couple weeks of groceries and then take her home.”

While they waited, he told her about the food bank and that it was open every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. “They’ll get you specialty items for your son if they don’t happen to have any on hand. The people who operate the place are amazing folks.”

Amy pulled up and he said, “Amy, this is Sheryl. Sheryl, my friend, Amy. Make sure and get the kids anything they need for school, too, since that will be starting soon.”

Sonia, the DA, walked out of the courthouse and saw what was going on. She put her hand on his arm and smiled.
