He drove for another ten minutes, and when he pulled up in front of a large A-frame log cabin, she was in shock. She didn’t know what she expected, but it certainly wasn’t the luxury house before her.
“You live here?”
“Yes, all my life now.”
“Wow, it’s beautiful.”
“You’ve not seen inside yet. Hopefully it’s not a mess.” He pulled the jeep to a stop and turned off the ignition.
She waited as he climbed out of the truck, walking around to her side, and helping her out. Within seconds, Alphie was there, and she smiled, bending down to give the large dog a stroke.
“You’re such a cute boy.”
“He’s missed me. This is the longest I’ve ever been away,” said Liam.
“Now I just feel bad.”
He wrapped an arm around her waist, kissing her neck.
Don’t think naughty things.
Think about dogs and puppies.
Not what it feels like to have this man between my thighs.
Just one thought of thighs and she whimpered, envisioning his beautiful cock sliding in deep.
He released a growl, and that only aroused her more. She noticed he growled a lot. Rather than it scaring her, she found it highly arousing and masculine.
“So, you finally decided to come back.”
She pulled away from his kiss at the sound of another man.
Glancing toward the house, she saw three men standing on the wraparound porch.
“Where are your women?” Liam asked.
“Out for the day. They had to get some shopping done,” another said. “Is this her?”
Another on the left sniffed the air. “Holy shit, you don’t waste any time, do you?”
She found that weird. What was with all the air sniffing?
“Rebecca, I’d like you to meet my very weird friends that have, for some reason, seemed to have forgotten they’re dealing with a human. That’s Jake, Ben, and Eli.”
Jake had been the sniffer.
Eli the questioner.
Ben had yet to speak.
Holding her hand up in a wave, she smiled at them. “Hey.”
They all stood watching her.
“Did I do something wrong?” she asked.
“No, they have no manners.” Liam took her hand. “Come on, let me show you the house while they remember what to do when they meet someone for the first time.”
She found it odd the way they bowed their heads as she passed or that they wouldn’t look at her.
Was she too ugly for them?
None of this made any sense.
She was soon distracted though as they entered his home. It was beautiful, breathtaking in fact. Glancing around the open home, she couldn’t help but smile. The kitchen was huge and opened up onto a large, open concept dining room. The ceilings peaked high above them, and a stone fireplace traveled all the way up. Oversized glass windows offered a picturesque view of a valley and river below.
“Do you have a lot of guests?” she asked.
“Yes. I come from a large family. The guys outside are friends and family.”
“I don’t think they liked me.”
Liam pulled her into his arms. “They adore you. They just don’t know how to act yet. They will. I promise.” He leaned down, kissing her lips.
He took her on the tour of the ground floor, showing her the sitting room, library, and his office. There was also a games room with a pool table. It was like he didn’t have to leave the house as he had everything at his fingertips.
To Rebecca, this was sheer heaven.
She loved it, right down to how secluded it was from the world. When he took her upstairs, the bedrooms were also beautiful.
“They kept it clean then.”
She giggled at his sigh. “You were worried?”
“They were all staying with me, along with their women. It has seemed a little full at times.”
This made her laugh.
“What do you think of the place?”
“What do I think? It’s perfect. I don’t even know how anyone could hate it, or even be upset by it. I think it’s amazing. So beautiful. I bet you get a lot of peace out here, don’t you?”
“I do. It’s nice. We also get a lot of travelers and hunters that can be a pain.”
“Is that because of the wolves?”
“What do you know about the wolves?” he asked.
“Not a lot. I know they’ve been known to attack tourists and travelers.”
“You still like them?”
“Of course. I haven’t really met one before though,” she teased. “I don’t imagine I ever will. You know, the whole snarling and wanting to kill being a bit of a turn off.”
“I bet there are a lot of wolves that would love you,” he said, pulling her close. They were on the upper landing leading to the wooden stairs.
She smiled. “You know how to say all the right words, Liam.” She pressed her hands to his chest and went on her tiptoes to kiss him. “And I for one love that.”
Someone cleared their throat.
“It would seem my friends have decided to be normal and now want to introduce themselves.”
