If Riley thought he'd endured a world of hurt the last time he met Orlaith, he likely had another thought coming.
Thinking, however, had never been a strongsuit. A sulky gaze returned from the sagebrush as Orlaith called him forth, looking every bit the haughty firebrand Riley remembered.
The delay in response was not Riley being obstinate. When the reply came, it was followed by a rough shaking of his ruff. "I'm not hidden." He replied sullenly. "Only resting."
He was tense. Any moment now he envisioned an arc of fire being slung his way. He had not forgotten her or her teeth, just as she had not forgotten him or his mouth.
So he waited, breath held and nerves on edge.
