Page 37 of Nanny For Biker Wolf Daddy

“Are you going to be able to keep that up?”

“As long as I don’t see him naked and he doesn’t touch me. Just a single touch sets my entire body on fire.”

Beth grinned. “It sounds to me like you’re falling in love with him.”

“I can’t be. He is my boss. I’m just the nanny who takes care of his children. Nothing more and nothing less. We had a brief moment of weakness in the library and satisfied a need. That was all.”

“In the library?” Beth giggled.

“Yep. We messed up a very nice rug.”

“Wow. That’s all I can say. Wow.”

“I know,” Savvy said. “It was definitely wow. But it can’t happen again. I can’t put my job in jeopardy. I love the kids too much.”

The two women were quiet for a minute. They exchanged amused glances when they heard Taryn explaining how to brush the horse and why it was important to take care of them. Then, she told them about all the different jobs that horses can do.

Then, when the lesson was over, everyone traipsed in the house for lunch. Cat and Drake excitedly told Savvy and Beth everything that they learned about horses.

“Don’t forget to eat,” Savvy reminded them, laughing.

They ate with gusto, and Savvy was afraid that they were going to be sick. Beth assured her that Taryn had eaten that way all the time when she was younger, and sometimes even now that she was older.

The three of them raced back outside, stripped, carefully folded their clothes, put them in plastic bags, and played a rousing game of wolf tag. Cassia flew above them, tagging them.

“I don’t think that Cassia has had this much fun in a long time,” Savvy said.

“Speaking of familiars, have you told Rory that you are a witch?” Beth asked.

“No. I’m not really sure how to approach that particular conversation. ‘I take care of your kids, we had a great time having sex, and by the way, I’m a witch.’ I don’t see that going over too well.”

Beth laughed. “I probably wouldn’t put it quite that way. More like, ‘You know how you’re a wolf shifter? You aren’t the only one who is paranormal. I’m special, too, in a different way. I’m a witch.’”

“Do you really expect me to say something like that?”

“No, not really,” Beth said, grinning.

“It doesn’t really matter if he knows that I’m a witch. It doesn’t affect my ability to take care of his kids. It’s not like we have a personal relationship and I need to fully disclose everything about me.”

“That could change,” Beth said.

“I don’t think so. Even though he didn’t say anything, the very brief conversation we had about Eva made me think that he still has some feelings for her.”

“After four years? They don’t even know each other.”

“True, but you know how it is with your first love. A part of me will always be in love with Gabe, even though I’ve learned to let him go. Eva is still alive.”

Beth shrugged and raised her eyebrows. “I don’t know. But you definitely don’t want to get involved if there are residual feelings there.”

Cat and Drake were very upset when it was time for them to go home.

“You can come back and play any time you want to,” Taryn promised them. “Pegasus loved you and so do I.”

They hugged her tightly, hugged Pegasus, and then reluctantly climbed into the truck so that Savvy could fasten them in. They waved until Taryn was out of sight.

Rory arrived home shortly after Savvy and the pups did. They pounced on him as he got out of his truck.

“Dad, guess what? We rode a horse today. We learned all about horses,” Cat said.
