the one

The first thing Mila felt was delicious warmth. After being so cold, for so long, she was sure that she had died and gone to heaven or maybe hell, judging by the temperature.

Then she opened her eyes and decided it was heaven, because the demon couldn't be as attractive as the man who was bending over her.

After staring at him for a moment, she realized she was naked. In a bathtub. With a magnificent stranger looking at her, completely unfazed by her nakedness. Maybe instead of drooling, you should be afraid.

"I'm not going to hurt you," the man said calmly, as he walked away from the tub. I found you in the snow.

She crossed her arms over her chest and linked her legs, trying to hide her body.

" Where am I?” She asked, hating the wavering tone in her voice.

"At the Three Brothers Hunting Lodge," she replied. "Do you have any injuries? "

She clutched her chest and shook her head.

" Where are my clothes?"

"In the dryer." I'll leave you a shirt until they dry.

Despite the heat of the water, she felt a chill and her n*****s hardened. The man was very tempting. He had short dark hair and broad shoulders. He was very attractive.

He rose, and she looked down at his long legs, clenched by jeans. He almost groaned loudly when he saw the cowboy boots. She was always attracted to men who wore cowboy boots.

She gasped when he pulled her out of the water. Before she could protest, he wrapped her in a huge towel and pulled her out of the bathroom. She choked out her sermon when he put her on the huge bed. She gathered the ends of the towel and pressed them against her.

He turned his back on her and disappeared into the closet. Seconds later, she returned with a flannel shirt and a pair of pants.

"They are too big for you, but they will do until your clothes dry."

He gave them to her, while his eyes caressed her face. She must have been afraid. I was in the house of an unknown man. Naked like the day she was born. And still, she didn't feel threatened by him.

She almost laughed at the illogicality of the situation. Most of the men scared her. And with good reason. So why wasn't she yelling? Why was she still there, staring at him, as if she wanted to undress him? I should walk out the door, running like crazy.

Instead, she took the offered shirt, flinching madly when their hands touched. Fire filled her eyes and her flesh burned as his gaze swept over her body.

"I'll let you get dressed," he said. "When you finish, go to the living room to warm up."

"Thank… thank you," she stammered.

As soon as he left the room, he got up, took off his towel and put on his shirt. It came down to her knees, and she rolled up her sleeves until her hands were free. She sat on the edge of the bed, pulling on her pants. When he got up, they fell to his ankles. She pulled them up again, but they fell again, irritating her.

Well, he saw me with a lot less. At least the shirt was big enough. She hoped that her clothes would not take long to dry.

He glanced in the mirror above the dresser and winced at what he saw. Her hair was disgusting and the dye was hideous. It had not achieved the desired effect of altering her appearance.

She adjusted her shirt and hesitantly left the room. She crossed the hall, glancing everywhere. In the end, she stopped and looked embarrassed.

Three men were staring at her, not just one. Three magnificent men. And there she was, with nothing but a shirt. She started to back away, but the man who bathed her grabbed her by the elbow.

"Do not be afraid. By the way, I'm Xander. ”He led her into the room, despite her reluctance. Those two are my brothers, Zion and Xane.

She looked at them, nervous and unsure, using Xander's body to shield herself from the stares.

"She didn't say anything about brothers."

"I told you the name of the ranch," he replied, smiling.

He found her hand and stroked it.

"Do not worry honey. No one is going to hurt you."

She shuddered. Not from fear, if not from the s*x appeal of that voice. How could she feel safe with a stranger? She licked her lips.

"I'm Mila." Her voice was little more than a whisper.

One of the brothers got up from the sofa and pushed her toward the fireplace.

"Come closer to the fire, to warm yourself." Her hoarse voice seemed like melted chocolate.

Oh Lord! I must be dreaming.

 "Which of the brothers are you? She asked, hesitating for a moment."

"I'm Xane." He grinned at her. He tugged lightly on her hand and she let him bring her closer to the fire.

Xane was as big as Xander. The only difference between them was the hair. Xander has short dark hair, almost black and Xane has short, platinum blonde hair, but they both have grayish eyes. Zion's eyes were blue, dark and cold, he was a little lighter than his brothers and his copper brown hair, a bit long, came down to his shoulders. He had a wild, barbaric look, he was the kind of man a woman instinctively wanted to tame. He seemed to be the youngest, but Mila wasn't sure. They were all attractive, close in age, while Xander must have been the oldest.

Xane made her sit in an armchair near the fire. Then she stretched her hands to the fire, letting the heat wrap around her body.

Was nervous. They were all staring at her. I could feel them. Everyone would have seen her naked. Was that why they looked at her with such intensity?

Xander fueled the fire.

"What happened to you, Mila? Why were you lying in the snow? You weren't even dressed for this time."

She swallowed, unsure of how to answer. She quickly searched for an admissible apology.

"My car broke down a little further down the mountain." I went out to seek help. I must have fallen. I really don't remember.

Most of it was true. It was everything, but he didn't want to elaborate.

"Are you sure you're okay?” Zion spoke, for the first time. His eyes searched her, trying to rip out her secrets. He was the calmest, most serious, most distrustful.

"I'm fine, really." He looked at Xander. "My clothes have dried? I have to go."

Zion frowned, Xane tensed, Xander's expression clouded.

"I don't think you should go out at that time," Xander said firmly.

Xane nodded.

"There's no reason to go, you can stay here until you feel better." Zion and I will go get your car and tow it here, for when you need it.

The uncertainty made her hesitate. Logically, she should continue as far as possible, but here she felt safe, and she was tired of running away.

She looked at her hands and tried to control the shaking. She was very tired and couldn't remember the last time she had eaten.

Xander knelt beside her and grasped her chin with his large hand.

"You don't have to go anywhere, darling." You can stay right here. We will take care of you.

If she thought she couldn't get any more excited, she was wrong. Although she said it gently, it felt like an order. I wanted him to stay.

"I ... I don't know." He closed his eyes and got dizzy; She struggled to open them again, but the room moved around her. And everything went dark.
