The entire bar became silent as everyone watched Rory.

“Put me down,” the man said, trying to kick Rory.

Rory ignored his commands and feeble attempts to kick him. He carried the man to the front door of the bar and tossed him into the parking lot.

“You know better than that,” Rory said before closing the door.

“Thanks,” the waitress said, blushing.

Rory nodded.

Savvy was stunned. She didn’t know whether to be terrified or intimidated.

Cassia said, “I like him. He has a good soul.”

Conner walked over to him and spoke to him for a moment. Rory looked over at Savvy and then back at Conner with his eyebrows raised. He followed Conner back to the table.

“I’m Rory Garner,” he said, holding out his hand.

Savvy shook it and gasped at the shock of electricity that exploded inside of her.

“Conner told me that you are looking for a nanny job. He vouches for you,” Rory said.

He pulled out a card and wrote an address on the back and a time.

“Be at this address at eight tomorrow. I’ll talk to you then,” he said and walked away.

“Not one for politeness, is he?” Savvy said, running her fingers through her blond, curly hair.

“You’ll get used to him,” Conner replied. “Besides, you’ll be spending all of your time with the kids, not him.”

They went back to the house and played a couple of games of Spades. Taryn and Savvy won both games.

“Guys, it’s been fun, but I’m tired,” she said, patting her belly. “I guess your brother is wearing me out,” she told Taryn.

Taryn had a premonition when Beth first got pregnant that the child would be a boy. He would be a wolf shifter and a wizard, just as Taryn was a wolf shifter and a witch.

Savvy hopped in the shower and tried to relax as the hot water cascaded over her. She wasn’t intimidated by too many people, but Rory worried her a little. It wasn’t that he would hurt her, but he could be very difficult to work for, especially if he was always so gruff.

“Don’t borrow trouble,” Savvy told herself. “If he becomes too difficult to work for, then I can always find another job. There are daycares in Angel’s Creek, Raton, and other places. Or, I could simply apply for a license and start my own. There are only two small daycares in Angel’s Creek, and I bet that the city could stand another one.”

With that matter settled in her mind, she slipped between the cool Egyptian cotton sheets. When she closed her eyes, images of Rory exploded in her mind. He was very handsome. He didn’t have the pretty boy good looks which didn’t do anything for Savvy. Instead, he was very rugged. He definitely fit the stereotype of being the leader of a biker club.

Savvy struggled to get to sleep. When she finally managed to close her eyes, flashes of Rory zooming down the road on his motorcycle with his leather vest covered in patches filled her dreams.

She was a little grumpy when she woke up the next morning. Beth sensed it and asked what was wrong.

“I dreamed about that blasted man last night,” Savvy exclaimed.

“You are likely just nervous about the interview,” Beth said. “He does have a very strong presence. He’s the kind of man who could walk into the room, not say a word, and everyone would stop talking and just stare at him.”

“Yeah, buddy,” Savvy said dryly.

“Like I said, just remember that you will be there with the kids. You won’t be babysitting him.”

“You’re right,” Savvy said.

She hesitated when she looked at her wardrobe. When she was hanging out with the kids, she would wear jeans and a T-shirt or sweatshirt. However, this was an interview, so she should probably dress more professionally.
