the side and watched her. She stopped crying and feeling sorry for herself and used a different tactic. “Nice bear. You’re a nice bear. You don’t want to eat me. I taste terrible.” The bear growled low, and she kept talking. “Please, please, please, don’t eat me.” The bear moved back a little, watching her closely. She could hear voices moving in and turned to see Nathan. She’d never been so happy to see anyone before.
“Are you okay, Katie? Are you hurt?” Nathan’s voice was the sweetest thing she heard.
“I’m okay, just trying to talk this bear out of hurting me. Nathan, how do we scare him, make him leave? Why isn’t he moving to attack you?” She stayed on the ground, wanting to run to Nathan but worried that any sudden movements would make the bear attack.
“Back off.” Nathan tilted his head toward the forest. It only took those two words for the bear to leave. He turned and trotted off.
“Who are you, the bear whisperer? Jeez, I actually thought I was gonna die.” She didn’t move to get up, even though a part of her wanted to jump into his arms. Nathan walked over and knelt down next to her, moving his hands over her body, touching her everywhere. She couldn’t move. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling of his big, muscular hands moving along her legs.
“Are you hurt? Jesus, Katie, I can’t believe that you jumped out that damn window.” She couldn’t speak. The feel of his hands on her body was almost too much, but then again it wasn’t enough. She wasn’t shivering. Her body felt hot, and she moaned deep.
“Where are you hurt? Right here?” He put his hand on her hip, and she moved, wanting him to cup her pussy, wanting to feel the friction on her clit. She shifted, forcing his hand where she wanted it. When his fingers brushed against her pussy, she groaned deep in her throat.
“She’s not hurt, Nathan. Look at her face. She just wanted your hand on her little pussy.” She had been so deep in thought, wanting Nathan, that she never heard Lucas walk up. He was watching her, and Katie rolled her eyes. The moment was over. She had been so close to begging Nathan for more, but with Lucas staring at her, she realized that now wasn’t the time. She moved, stretching her muscles before she stood up. It took her a minute to get her bearings. When she put pressure on her right foot, she cringed and realized that she must’ve hurt it when she jumped out of the window.
“Shit. You did hurt yourself.” Nathan moved quickly, picking her up and pulling her close to his chest. He felt good, and she let herself relax against him as he walked back toward the house.
“Why won’t you let me see my sister? Why are you keeping me prisoner here? Nathan?” She looked deep in his eyes, trying to plead with him without using words.
“You aren’t a prisoner. You’re our guest. We aren’t keeping you from your sister. We’ll take you to her soon. Right now, she’s bonding with her new men, Adam and Brandon.” His voice was smooth, and she realized that she really wanted him to talk more. His voice did something to her.
“Why do you keep saying ‘we’? Just for clarification, locking someone in a room is making them a prisoner, not a guest. You’re keeping me here, so that your cousins Adam and Brandon can ‘bond.’ I’m thinking that means fuck my sister.” She knew she sounded a little harsh. If her sister needed a little privacy, then fine, but they could’ve explained that earlier.
“Uh-oh, I hate to point this out, Nathan, but Katie just said a very naughty word.” Katie turned her head to look at a smirking Lucas. It seemed like he went out of his way to tattle or just to point things out, and it was really starting to irritate her.
“Seriously? What, are we in elementary school?” She shook her head and focused on Nathan, completely ignoring Lucas when he tried to get her attention. Both of the men stopped walking, and she knew then that what she
