Tempting Perfection - Page 14

This room was a mess. I was going to get hives thinking about it. “It’s George’s stuff. I’ll get it organized. I was in a bit of a rush to get it on the bus in Operation Don’t Let Kurt Know.”

“Woof. Woof.”

I rushed over to the crate and opened it. “Hey, sweet George. Meet your roommate. He’s a bit messy and swears like a sailor, but he’s nice enough.”

George, his tail wagging, walked right up to Kurt and sat down. “See how sweet he is.”

“Sawyer, we can’t—” Kurt’s eyes softened when they landed on the fluffy white ball.

Bingo. There was my open door. “Please. Please. Please. I’ve always wanted a dog. Pleeeaaaaaase.” I pouted my lips a little and put my hands together. “He’s official and everything. I have papers.”

George reached up on Kurt’s leg and whimpered to be picked up. Without thinking, Kurt lifted him up and held him. “Where are the papers?”

I was so close to having him convinced. Kurt absentmindedly petted George’s head as I retrieved the papers. After finding the envelope in my purse, I handed them to him. “I just have to fill them in and mail them. Isn’t he so soft and cuddly?”

Scanning the documents, Kurt snorted. His eyes met mine—they were full of laughter. What was funny? “Have you read these yet?” he asked.

“No, there hasn’t been much time. It was a race against the clock so you wouldn’t give him the boot and orphan my first dog ever.”

Kurt mashed his lips together before he proceeded. “What kind of dog did you think you got?”

I put my hands on my hips. “Why are you being so cryptic? I’ve told you. George is a lap poodle. I’m going to get him a little bag and everything. He’ll be so handsome as we traipse around America together. I’m thinking he needs a rhinestone jacket to match yours.”

In that moment, Kurt burst out laughing. “You got a labradoodle.”

Labradoodle?

Why is he laughing?

Kurt couldn’t stop.

“A what? The woman said lap poodle.”

“Hell, Sawyer. This is the best thing that’s happened. Good ol’ George is going to be over seventy pounds and huge.”

I gasped. “What? That’s more than half my weight. He won’t be a lap poodle? What about my cute little bag? I won’t be able to carry a seventy-pound dog.”

At this point, Kurt was nearly bent over laughing. George wiggled and whined, and Kurt set him down. “No, he won’t.” Kurt staggered to my bed. “Oh shit. This is the funniest thing ever. You wanted a cute little ‘lap poodle’ and you have a giant-ass labradoodle.”

I tossed a squeaky toy at him. “This is not funny. Not funny at all.”

Bending over, I picked up George. “Oh man. I can’t believe I did that.” I giggled. “I am so fucked.”

“Yes, you are.”

George cocked his head to the side. “I don’t care if you’re going to be huge.” I jutted out my lip. “Can I still keep him?”

Kurt stood, and his voice lowered in that sweet, sexy way. “Does it mean a lot to you to have this dog?”

“Yes. I always wanted one as a kid, but my parents were too busy. I’m like a doggie mom. And I swear George is already potty trained. I told him to pee and he did.”

Kurt’s face softened as he watched us. I waited with bated breath for the final verdict.

“George, welcome to the Reverence tour across America.”

Pitter-patter.

There went my stupid heart again.
