Bambi screamed.“Do something!”
Jessica rolled her eyes.“Boy, come back here.”
Gideon turned and glared at her over his shoulder.
“Now.”
Gideon turned and stalked back to her.
“It listens to you?”Bambi asked in shock.
“He better.I’m the boss of him.”
Jessica didn’t have to look at him to know that she’d pay for that later.
“What kind is he?”
“Oh, he’s a mutt.”She was really digging a hole, but couldn’t stop smiling.“Is there anything else you’d like to talk about, Bambi?”
“What?”
Her sister seemed very confused.“Would you like me to have Gideon call you?Then you can tell him that you’re interested in him.”
“Is that thing around all the time?”Bambi asked and pointed at Gideon.
“Oh, yes.We have a few dogs running around, and they all seem nice.”
“No.It’s fine.I just wanted you to remember he wanted me first.”
Jessica bit her lip when Gideon growled again.
Bambi’s eyes widened.“Is it mad?”
“Hm, I’m not sure.He’s usually very nice to people, but he’s taken a dislike to you for some reason.”
“Me?Why?”
Jessica cringed at the high-pitched tone of her sister’s voice.
“I don’t know, but I do know I might not be able to make him calm down.If I were you, I’d high-tail it out of here.”
Bambi stood frozen for a moment, but when Gideon made a deep rumbling growl, she screamed, turned, and ran off.
“Well, I think that’s the last time we’ll see her here.”
Jessica chuckled and then looked at Gideon.She knew instantly she was going to pay for what she said and called him.
She started backing away and held her hands out in front of her.“Now, wait a second.You know I didn’t mean anything.”She ruined it when a giggle burst from her.
He took another slow, menacing step towards her.
“Gideon.”
He huffed and lowered his head.
She walked backward deeper into the garden.She wanted to head to the house, but he blocked her every time.
“Hey, just be glad I didn’t call you a werewolf or make you heel.”
