hand under her and held her firmly in place while he impaled her on his cock. Deeper and deeper he thrust, their earlier teasing building into the most intense of climaxes for them both.
He roared as he came, one hard thrust after another, his cock spurting deep inside her, setting off a chain reaction in her body. She came, her sex gripping him, holding him firm as he brushed her inner walls. With a final shuddering cry, she lay totally spent, her breasts rising and falling heavily. Hal, drained of his seed, collapsed onto her and then rolled onto his side, breathless from their lovemaking.
He laughed quietly. “I think you’ve earned your dinner.”
She slapped him playfully. “I expect more than porridge.”
“I might be able to rustle up some rice and beans.”
“You really know how to woo your mate. It’s a good job I’m so attracted to you, or I might have to go looking for a man who knows how to provide for his woman.”
“I will provide all the sex you want. The food, unfortunately, is still out on the side of the mountain.”
“Rice and beans it is, then,” she said. In fact, she would have eaten anything, within reason. She was starving. “I don’t even know what time it is.”
He looked out of the window and said, “I would guess it’s about four in the afternoon.”
“You can tell that by looking out there?”
“When you live up here all year like I do, you get used to it. This time of year, taking the weather into account, I would say it’s late afternoon. The good thing is that it looks as if the storm has passed, so tomorrow I am going to go out and retrieve the pack.”
“Is it that important?” she asked. She worried what might happen when they left the cabin. Between the weather and Kurt, she would rather stay in the cabin as long as possible. Hidden away safely with him.
“Yes. Unless we can make our way down to Bear Creek, we will run out of food. I know I joked about rice and beans, but there is not enough food here for both of us for more than a month. And the winter storms can last longer than that.”
She pulled her knees up to her chin, hugging them tightly. “I’m sorry I’ve put you in danger. And I don’t just mean the food.”
“Hey, don't worry. I’ll go and get the food, it shouldn't have spoiled.”
“What if they are out there?”
He placed his hand on hers and rubbed her skin to comfort her. “If they didn’t find shelter from the storm, they will be frozen somewhere on the mountain.”
She didn’t really like the sound of that either. After everything her Kurt had done, she should be mad at him, but she found it impossible to wish him dead. “What do you think happened?”
He settled back next to her and put his arm around her shoulders. She leaned into him, feeling the comfort of his warm body seeping into hers. His warmth pushed away the chill of death, which hovered around her at the thought of the wolves lying dead out there in the snow. “I don’t know. When I found you, there was no sign of anyone else. I didn’t see or hear any other soul. Human or wolf. So perhaps they made their way back down. When did you see them last?”
“It’s hard to say. It was so cold. I came through the pass, they were close behind me. Then some snow came away from the cliff and blocked the pass. It split them up, but they hunt as a pack and I could hear them digging each other out.
“That bought me some time, so I ran. But then I heard them howling and I was sure they were getting closer. I put my head down and ran as fast as I could. When the terrain sloped down, I knew that if I ran hard I could get to Bear Creek. I had no idea what I was going to do when I got there, but it just seemed like the only way to escape.”
“They may have gone back to Wolf Valley,” he said. “Once they knew you were out of their reach. There was no way they could have tracked you in the snow; maybe they went back home. Cowardly, but I guess they decided to save
