too long.
 I agree, Josh mumbled,fading into sleep.  Just don t leave me alone too long and don t go too
far. I like you guys close. Josh fell asleep as soon as they laid him in the large queen-sized bed in the
room with the other fireplace.
Wow, the guy must really be out of it if he was spouting his thoughts like that. Reed kind of
liked it.
Reed smiled down at the human.  Don t worry, I ll protect you.
Josh smiled in his sleep, and Reed let him be, walking out of the room towards his other mate.
He took her hand, leading her to the couch. She sat with a vacant expression on her face.
 Hannah, what can I do for you? I m going look around the cabin and get you some shoes, but
what else?
She smiled at him and shook her head.  I don t know; everything s different. What they did back
there... Her voice broke, cutting off her sentence.
Reed placed an arm around her shoulders, pulling her into his side. He didn t want to think
about what had gone on in that stone basement. The blood, the pain, the loss. It was too much.
 Shh, it ll be okay. You re tough. I ve seen you. We ll figure it out. Together. At least he
hoped.
 I m just so tired, but I don t want to sleep. Her eyes held horrors he knew would take time to
get over, if she ever did.
 Okay, just lie down on the couch and rest. You don t need to sleep. I m going to go in Josh s
room, get the fire set, and do the same in here. We need to find a way to contact someone. If we can t
then we ll get out of here soon and get help. I ll look for some clothes for us, then some food. How
does that sound? Telling her his plans made him feel better, like he might actually accomplish
something. If she knew he wanted to care for her and Josh, maybe she d relax enough to sleep.
 Let me help. She made motions of getting up, but Reed stopped her.
 No, not now. Let me get everything but the food. I think you may need to help me with that
part. He blushed a bit.  I m not a great cook, so that might be your job. But you rest.
 I m better with potions than food, but I can do my best.
 That s all I ask. He gave her a smile, fought the urge to kiss her goodnight, and went to do his
chores. At least doing something productive would help his rising fears and rising erection.
 Once Josh sleeps a bit, Hannah said when Reed came back from Josh s room,  he ll
hopefully be able to move. I don t like staying here. Away from everyone. That haunted look came
back in her eyes.
Reed would have done anything to sweep that look away.
He looked around the cabin, noting the lack of phones or radios. Well crap. It looked as though
they d have to wait out their growing strength before they made it home. Wherever home was for his
two mates. Reed couldn t be so lucky to think their home would be his.
 There are no phones, are there? Hannah whispered.
Reed shook his head.  No, but when we get rested, we can go to my Pack, the Redwoods.
They ll take care of us. Protect us. He held his breath, waiting for her response.
Hannah nodded.  Okay. A sad look came into her eyes.  I don t have anywhere else to go.
Reed felt for her. How horrible would it be to be Packless? Have no connections? No family?
 I ll take care of you, he promised.
She batted his arm.  I said I can take care of myself.
Reed smiled.  Then you can take care of me, too.
She smiled back.  Sounds like a plan.
They paused as the heat grew between them. Reed shifted, his arousal increasing as he inhaled
her luscious scent.
Hannah s breaths came in shallow pants. Her cheeks reddened as she lowered her eyes, her
eyelashes dusting the tops of those rosy cheeks.
 I think I ll try and get some sleep in the room across from Josh s, the heat reaches there.
She stood up quickly, and practically ran to the room like a frightened rabbit.
Too bad Reed was a wolf and liked to chase.
 Sounds good to me. Let s go.
Reed ignored his wolf. He looked down the hall where his two potential mates lay across the
expanse of the hallway from each other. No, this wouldn t be complicated at all. Right.
Chapter 8
Josh cracked open his eyes, straining at the glow of the roaring fire by his bedside. He quickly
shut them again against the raging headache currently doing an Irish jig on his temples. Crap, where
was he? Images of wolves and sharp teeth, curly brown hair, then green eyes flooded his mind. Oh
yeah, Reed and Hannah.
He d saved them. Well, he got them out; they seemed fit enough to save themselves. Another
image, this time of the man no demon with deep black eyes and sharp teeth impaling his flesh. He
flinched at the memory, causing pain to lash up his arm.
Fuck.
When he opened his eyes again, he surveyed his surroundings. The large wooden sleigh bed he
slept in took up most of the room. Dark, musty drapes covered the windows so he couldn t tell if it
was day or night. But cold seemed to slip through the slits, letting him know the storm was either just
starting fully or in the middle of its downpour.
On the side wall, a large brick fireplace stood out, heating the room. Josh guessed that either
Reed or Hannah had lit it for him, not wanting him to be cold. For some reason that warmed him from
the inside out.
Josh tried to swallow, but it caught on his tongue. It felt as though he d eaten dried rags and then
chased them down with cotton. He needed water or something to sooth his aching throat, but couldn t
call out for help or find the energy to get out of bed and get to Hannah and Reed. How was he
supposed to leave the cabin and go for help if he couldn t even get out of bed?
He shook his head, trying to clear it of sleep as flashes of his dreams came back. Memories of
demons with forked tongues, fire burning flesh, and screams made him want to shudder in fear. But he
didn t. He couldn t be weak. Not when others needed him.
But those weren t the only dreams bugging his subconscious. No, they mingled with images of a
gray-eyed beauty and her green-eyed companion. Reed and Hannah had loved and kissed and sexed
him throughout his fantasy. Panting, moaning, and thrusting interplayed with chanting and
proclamations of forever and love.
Josh didn t know which of the two dreams frightened him more. Painful death by fire and
demons or the love of two supernaturals.
Not to mention the fact he d never known he was attracted to men. But, damn, Reed was sexy as
hell. And by the gasps and heated looks on the other man s face, Reed thought the same of Josh. What
was he going to do with that?
And hell, Reed and Hannah were mates. They might not have fully connected, or whatever the
hell werewolves did in a mating, but they were for each other. Josh was the odd man out. Again. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
