“Was she born that way?”
“Yes. Some idiot bred two merles, which can cause deafness, blindness, and health issues. Other than being partially deaf, she’s healthy, though.”
“That’s good. What breed?”
“Australian shepherd. She just turned two.”
“How did you end up with a deaf dog?”
“Six months before I had my male Aussie put down. About killed me. Of course, I swore no more dogs, but Tess called me and told me about Rebel.”
“Tess?”
“Dr. Tessa Garrett, the local vet. Someone dropped Rebel off at her office because she was unruly. She wasn’t. They just didn’t want to take the time with her. I taught her how to read hand signals. She’s a good dog.”
Siobhan rubbed her ears. “She’s a sweetheart.”
He smiled as he watched Rebel try to sit on Siobhan’s lap. He put his hand out for Siobhan to take and helped her to her feet.
“This kitchen is gorgeous.”
“I’ll show you the rest tomorrow. Right now, I need to get some sleep, darlin’.”
“Me too,” she said, then yawned.
He led her through the dining room, down a hallway, and to his bedroom. That bed looked so inviting. He sat on the bed, took off his boots, stood, and stripped. He stepped out of his jeans and pushed his boxer briefs down. He stopped when he saw her standing in the center of the room watching him, and he raised his eyebrow.
“I enjoyed that,” she said with a tilt of her head.
“Stop. I’m tired. We’re going to sleep… for now.” He placed his hands on his hips and saw her eyes trained on his crotch. “Siobhan,” he growled.
When she laughed, he shook his head, pulled the quilt back on the bed, and crawled into it. He put his arms behind his head and stared at her.
“Okay, I’ll behave for now.” She gave him a sly smile and slowly started undressing.
“Son of a bitch,” he muttered as his dick twitched.
Siobhan raised her eyebrows. “What?”
“Nothing. Get in the damn bed.”
She laughed, climbed into the bed, and snuggled beside him. He wrapped his arm around her, placed his cheek on her head, and closed his eyes. Rebel jumped onto the bed, laid down, and sighed. Liam smiled and fell asleep.

Siobhan blinked her eyes as the sunshine splayed across her face. She yawned, stretched her arms above her head, and turned to see Liam’s side of the bed empty. Then she heard the shower.
She tossed off the sheet, stood, and walked to the bathroom. She quietly opened the door, stepped inside, and saw him in the shower stall, and her mouth went dry.
She opened the shower door and stepped into the stall. He turned to look at her.
“Good morning,” he said, lowering his head and kissing her.
“Good morning.” She wrapped her arms around his waist and arched her hips against him. Then she smiled. “I think something else wants to say good morning.”
Liam laughed. “All the time with you.”
“Too bad you don’t have a condom.”
