Chapter 10
BUK
I am living a dream I never thought would occur, only to be horrified when Briar suddenly starts screaming at the top of her lungs. Jerking up and away from her, I glance down at my claws, terrified that I may have damaged her.
Briar is pulling the blankets all around her as she scrambles away from me, practically falling on the floor. Standing naked in the cold air, my heart hits my throat at the pure terror she is displaying. Grabbing her gently, I pull her back to me. “Briar, what is it? Did I harm you?”
“What? NO! But there’s a freaking Abominable Snowman staring at US through the viewer!!!”
I feel the spines on my arms lift as I turn to place myself in front of her, only to see HaL standing there with a huge smile on his ugly, furred face. He even waves as if I am not standing in front of him fully nude, ready to battle whatever has scared the female I love.
Without thinking, I pick up the closest thing on the floor and wrap it around my waist, only to turn and see Briar’s still terrified eyes peeking out of the blankets she has completely wrapped herself in.
“Briar, my love, there is no monster, at least not in the sense you are thinking. That is HaL.”
“What’s a HaL?”
“My brother.”
“You have a damn Yeti as a brother?” Terrified just turned into angry as she snarls the following words my way, “You and I need to work on our communication because I believe this should have been mentioned before. Damn it, BuK, he just scared the living hell out of me!”
Before I can say another word, I hear the lower-level door opening. “We are about to have company so you might want to put on some garments.”
“I’m not the one standing around with his dick swinging in the wind.
” Fighting a smile, I watch as Briar gathers up the warm clothing she had put in a pile on the crate I retrieved earlier.
She wraps the blanket firmly around her before making her way into the refreshing chamber, cursing under her breath with every step.
One thing I know for sure is that life will never be boring with my feisty little female.
