animal staring back at her was….huge!
She dropped her bags and ran back inside, terrified and not sure what to do.
Fortunately, her cell phone was still in her hand, and she nervously dialed Knox’s phone.
“Andie? What’s wrong?” he demanded as soon he answered.
“Umm…” she wasn’t exactly sure how to describe her latest predicament. “Well, there’s a very large animal in my driveway and…he’s eating my cupcakes.”
Knox was already sprinting out the door, leaving a group of his East Coast directors on a conference call. He didn’t give a damn. Andie was in trouble.
“Honey, what kind of animal? Is it the bear again?” He grabbed his pistol and a different rifle this time. If the bear had come back, he was going to have to shoot it.
“No. Not a bear. This is sort of like a really big…reindeer.”
Knox stopped short. He was standing in his garage, one hand on his SUV and the other holding his cell phone. “A deer? You’re afraid of a deer?”
He could picture her cringing. “Well, this deer has really big ears.”
Knox was confused. “Honey, deer don’t have big ears.”
There was another pause, and he knew she was trying to figure things out. “Maybe it isn’t a deer,” she finally said. “Maybe it is a moose. There are moose in Alaska, right?”
His heart started thudding with renewed fear. “Andie, if that’s a moose, then don’t leave your house.”
“But he looks pretty sweet. And he’s eating my cupcakes. Those are for the students.”
He sighed and whipped open his SUV door, backing out of his garage. “Andie, why in the world did you leave cupcakes outside?” And more to the point, why hadn’t she given him one? He hadn’t ever thought that he had a sweet tooth until he’d tried some of Andie’s baked goods. She was an awesome cook!
“Well, I was bringing them to school for the kids. And my keys were inside the house, I couldn’t hold everything at once so I brought the cupcakes outside and put them on the roof of my car.”
He sighed heavily. “Andie, you have to keep food protected. If animals smell food, they’re going to come to you and now you’re in danger.”
“But it’s just a moose, right? Big ears, big eyes and a big…mouth.”
If he’d had a free hand, he would have slapped his forehead. As it was, he needed one hand on the steering wheel and another to hold his cell phone so he could maintain communication with her. “No Andie! A moose is dangerous. They aren’t like deer. They will charge you. Stay inside!”
“Can’t you just bring that bean bag gun thingamajig and scare him away?”
“No! Don’t shoot anything at him! Don’t do anything! This is mating season and if that’s a male, then he’s going to be pretty mean.” He knew how the big guy felt. He’d been desperate to feel Andie in his arms lately. It had been too long since their one kiss and he was almost howling at the moon with sexual need for the slender, challenging beauty.
“How do I know if it is a moose or something else? Maybe it’s an elk? Are elk bad guys?”
He had to suppress his laughter. If nothing else, Andie had a fresh perspective on the world. “Are there antlers on his head?”
“Yes,” she replied quickly.
“Are the antlers pointy or are they mostly flat with rounded points coming out?”
“Flat with rounded points,” she confirmed. “And lots of frosting on his big lips.”
“Andie,” he groaned, stepping on the accelerator. “That’s a male moose and he’s horny, ready for any female moose. And he’s hungry if he’s eating your cupcakes.” He stopped her next question before she even asked it. “No, I can’t shoot him with the bean bag gun. You’re just going to have to wait until he gets bored and moves on.”
Knox almost laughed out loud because he could hear her mind working, trying to think of a way
