“She’s a grown woman. It’s not like she hasn’t been around werewolves her whole life. If it becomes too chilly for her, she’ll come downstairs.”
“Are you guys talking about me? You’ve been awfully quiet,” Tawny called down.
Shit.“I’ve never known a female to be able to read minds,”Alex said.“Have you?"
“She’s guessing.”
He hoped that was true. “We’re wondering if it will be warm enough for you up there. Liam and I plan to shift, so if you need more warmth, join us.”
“I appreciate the offer.”
Alex thought for a moment that she might come downstairs right away, but she moved over to the bed and dropped out of view.
He looked over at the sofa.“Maybe we should put the two sofa cushions on the floor between us in case she changes her mind.”
Liam groaned.“If she does that, I won’t be able to sleep a wink.”
Alex probably should discuss the idea with Liam that he believed—or rather he knew—that Tawny was his mate.
* * *
Tawny pulled the blanket up over her shoulders and tried to keep warm. She told herself she couldn’t sleep because of the chill. In reality, it was because of the two men who were downstairs. Sure, when she first met them, she was instantly attracted to both, but she said it was because they were so good-looking.
Stamina, looks, and intelligence were important, but she had a whole new appreciation for them after this adventure. Alex and Liam were quite different, and their backgrounds weren’t what she expected either, yet they seemed to complement each other very well.
On the trek up to the climbing site and then to the cabin, it was Liam who analyzed how safe the path would be and whether they’d beat the storm. Those concerns were similar to hers.
Not that Alex didn’t care, but he seemed more interested in nature. He’d often comment on how pretty the area was, which was something she admired about hiking. That being said, Tawny was usually more attracted to a conservative man, like Liam. He wassafer. However, even though Alex was a risk taker, she kind of liked that too.
Regardless of their differences, both men seemed to want to see justice done, and that appealed to her a lot. Zach’s disappearance seemed to have struck a chord in each man. They wanted to find him. For that, she’d be eternally grateful.
The fire crackled below, reminding her of her two wolf companions. Were they talking about her telepathically, or were they merely trying to sleep? She bet they were discussing her. Why? She’d seen both of their eyes flash gold a few times.
Hold on!Ifbothhad eyes of gold, then it probably didn’t mean she was one of their mates. Their eyes just changed color for some other reason. Or were they both her mates?
The idea of being with one of the men intrigued her. She couldn’t remember the last time she’d been so excited by a man’s touch. Wildwood, Montana might be known for a town accepting of ménage relationships, but she doubted they’d come here for that reason. Hell, she doubted they knew about the town’s reputation.
Ugh. Tawny didn’t need to be thinking about romance when she should to be sleeping. Tomorrow, they planned to search for her brother, and traipsing through the snow, searching for caves would require a lot of energy. And with all the snow that had fallen, there would be no tracks.
Determined to save her twin, Tawny curled up under the blanket to stay warm. The problem was the cabin was mostly meant to be used in the summer, not in the depths of winter, which was why the wooden-slated walls were not insulated.
She slipped out of bed and grabbed the spread off the other twin mattress. As she moved back to her side of the room, she looked down over the railing at the fire. It was burning brightly. Too bad the heat wasn’t rising as much as she wished.
A little cold wouldn’t deter her, but man those two wolves sure did look warm and cozy.
Don’t think about them.
Tawny crawled back into bed, determined to sleep. Unfortunately, her mind refused to shut off, and not being physically comfortable wasn’t helping.
After tossing and turning for another hour, she gave up. Tawny couldn’t help her brother if she was too cold to look for him. The best place to sleep was between two wolves in front of a hot fire.
She grabbed her pillow and a blanket and headed down the stairs.
CHAPTERSIX
“What is she doing?”Liam telepathed. He could figure it out, but he wasn’t sure what they were supposed to do about it?
Light footsteps padded quickly across the room. Good thing they’d already placed the sofa cushions on the floor between them, anticipating she might need a warmer place to sleep.
