fantastic! And really quick. Holy cow. If so, you’ll need to move up the wedding. Have you taken a pregnancy test? Are you ill in the morning?”
Tess blinked at the rapid questioning. “You are such a freak. No, I haven’t taken a pregnancy test because I don’t know if they will work on shifters and no, I haven’t had any morning sickness.”
Kaylie set out money and a fat tip for her half of the bill. “You’re right. A human urine test may not work, but a blood test will.” She paused in putting her wallet away, noting belatedly the deliberate silence from Tess. “You should see Dr. Chavez. Jacklyn? She works mainly with the shifter populace, and any lab work is done in-house.”
Tess glanced briefly away before returning her eyes to Kaylie’s with a hint of desperation. “I don’t really know her.”
“All you need to know is that she’s a good doctor. Confidentiality and all that.”
Tess didn’t so much as move a muscle, just sat there staring at Kaylie. Knowing what her sister wanted, Kaylie made a point of scratching her chin in resignation. “You want me to do it?”
Tess bit her lip in concern. “Could you? I mean, is that even ethical?”
“Well,” Kaylie stood up slowly and slid her purse strap over her shoulder. “Considering you are actually part dog, I think it will be okay.” Laughing as Tess sputtered and threw a spoon at her, Kaylie bounded for the door. “Come by my clinic after you get off work and we’ll go from there.”
Feeling her positive mood restored after the sibling jab, Kaylie stepped out into the sun and headed back to work.
Chapter Seven
On Thursday, Kaylie decided not to head home or to Dolen’s for her lunch hour as was her usual routine. Instead she drove to the Woodcliff Lumber Company. She could tell herself that this visit was necessary to inform Tess she wasn’t pregnant, but that could have been done over the phone. No, her main goal for the personal call was to apologize to Dean for acting like a bitch, and she dreaded it. Not for saying she was sorry. That wasn’t a new concept to her. She was afraid once she saw him she’d forget everything else and just pounce. She really wanted to pounce. Just wrap her legs around his waist and hold on tight. Even though she’d taken care of herself last night, her body was so aroused, so sensitive to every touch, she actually hurt. Her tummy felt tight, her breasts ached, and she was so swollen and wet between her thighs her panties were damp. The sensations were not happy ones, considering she knew relief wouldn’t be coming any time soon. No pun intended. Even if Dean was overcome with lust, she doubted he would be able to help in this regard. No man had ever given her that kind of pleasure before. She’d always had to take care of it herself, when she was alone.
She pulled into the nearly empty parking lot of the lumberyard and just sat a moment, staring at the huge red brick building.
What felt like a million butterflies danced frantically in her belly as she exited her car and made her way to Tess’s office. At the door she peered in to see her sister standing at a bank of filing cabinets, flushed with love and admiration, Kaylie grinned. Here was the international model, adored and slathered over by millions of men, now wearing comfortable jeans and a pretty blue and green print blouse, filing paperwork like a normal human being.
“Hey, sis.”
Tess never even glanced up, no doubt hearing Kaylie or, Lord help her, smelling her coming from a mile away. “What’s up? And don’t even think of trying to get out of helping Mom make the pies for this weekend’s fair. You already wiggled out of booth duty for Saturday so you can go play in a dank, dark cave.”
Kaylie leaned against the doorframe with a smirk. “Just the morning. Besides, I’ve been helping Mom for years. It’s time you pulled your weight.”
Tess shut a metal drawer and opened another, throwing her sister a piercing glance
