was Nathan. She’d never been held tenderly or looked at in the way Darian was looking at her; he made her feel like she was the only person in the world. Lyanne knew she was falling for him and hoped that he felt the same, if the way he looked at her was any indication of his feelings then she was certain he was.
Suddenly the little arctic fox let out a short and sharp bark, Lyanne jumped and Darian stood up going to the window of the cabin. He pulled the curtain back and peered outside.
“We’ve got company Lyanne, cover your leg up,” he said, and she loved his protective tone. She pulled the blanket back over her legs and sat up straight. Who the hell would be visiting Darian up here? He was in the middle of nowhere. He went to the door and she heard muffled voices then the door to the room opened. The arctic fox and all the other animals scarpered to the back of the room as two guys entered followed up by a girl.
“Hello pretty lady,” one of the guys drawled at her as he walked toward the couch. He was in his early thirties and about 6’ with black curly hair. Lyanne didn’t speak, she simply smiled.
The second guy was shorter, 5’10” slightly stocky, with blonde longish hair; he was about the same age as the first guy. He didn’t speak to Lyanne.
The girl sort of shuffled into the room with her head down. Lyanne could make out that she had ginger colored hair tied back in a ponytail and was around 5’4” she shifted her glance briefly to look Lyanne’s way. Darian had told her he didn’t have a lot of female company, so who was this girl?
She got the impression she was being checked out by the three of them and it was reminiscent of the wolves checking her out in the forest. They almost looked like prowling wolves. Lyanne felt very uncomfortable until Darian came back into the room. She noticed the animals started to creep back once he was there.
“Lyanne this is James, Daniel and Lisa. This is Lyanne,” Darian said as he perched on the edge of the couch. Lyanne instantly felt safer with him beside her and she relaxed a little.
“So Darian said you ran into some trouble Lyanne,” James, who was the first to enter the room, said.
“Yes, our snowmobile crashed and there were some wolves, I fainted and woke up here,” Lyanne answered feeling very intimidated by the three people standing in front of her.
“Lucky for you then that Darian came along, we all know what wolves are capable of, don’t we Darian?” now it was Daniel who was speaking in a very condescending manner, Lyanne didn’t like him at all.
Lisa giggled and glanced over at Lyanne, “Yeah we sure do, you were lucky to make it out with your life.”
“Enough, Lyanne’s been through a lot. She doesn’t need you lot reminding her of her ordeal,” snapped Darian, as he stood up straight, facing them. When he spoke the others dropped their eyes toward the ground, and almost seemed to cower away from him, they didn’t make eye contact with him at all.
Lyanne whispered, “I’m okay Darian, I know how fortunate I was. Your friends are only echoing my own thoughts,” he turned to look at her and smiled with warmth showing in his hazel eyes. He sat down again on the edge of the couch and touched her arm gently with his hand. Lyanne heard Lisa take a sharp breath of air into her lungs, so sharp she ended up spluttering.
“Are you okay?” said Lyanne.
Lisa glared at her as though she’d asked her something sinister, “What’s it to you, how I am?”
“Lisa, kitchen right now,” Darian ordered. Lyanne was taken aback by his abrupt tone; he was speaking to Lisa as though she were a child. In spite of his brusque manner, Lisa obliged and shuffled into the kitchen with James and Daniel following her.
Darian turned to face Lyanne and squeezed her arm tenderly while standing up, “I won’t be a minute, excuse my friends they can be rude.”
“Why
