Wyatt's Stand (Colebrook Siblings Trilogy book 2)
“She focused on Wyatt, unsure what had woken her. He was sleeping on his side, turned away from her. He twitched and jerked but didn’t wake and his breathing was harsh.
Before she could reach out to touch his shoulder, Grits was standing beside the bed, front paws braced on the edge of it as he licked Wyatt’s face.
Wyatt grunted and opened his eyes, half pushing up onto his elbows as he looked wildly around the room. The moonlight filtering through the slats in the blinds showed the sweat glistening on his forehead.
“You okay?” she whispered when he focused on her.
Frowning, he nodded, then pushed at Grits. “Stop. No kisses,” he said, his voice rough with sleep, a little out of breath. Then he sat up and turned to swing his legs over the edge of the bed, ran a hand over his face with a hard sigh.
Austen placed a tentative hand on the middle of his broad back and rubbed gently. His muscles twitched beneath her palm but he didn’t pull away, so she took that as a good sign. She noticed he... was absently petting Grits with one hand as he sat there, getting his breath back.MoreLess
