Through the front windshield, Dane saw a pale glow
come into view. He pushed off the comforter and reached for his heavy winter
coat. The guys had warned him Minto Flats was icy this time of year.
“Why would we be picking on something that was so
ordinary to drink for breakfast as, say, coffee?” Fyuri’s teasing tone made
Dane smile.
“Until you’ve tried it, don’t knock it,” Dane teased
back.
Vyce’s grunt made Dane laugh. The look of pure
horror on the big man’s face after he had tasted Dane’s breakfast drink had
been a sight to behold. Dane didn’t dare laugh at the time. So far Dane had
managed to avoid another spanking. If he had let out his absolute glee at
Vyce’s red face and twisted lips, there was a good chance his bottom would
still be tender.
The truck turned right onto a gravel road. In the
distance the pale glow had brightened into white yard light. It was interesting
that the light was powered by a small solar panel mounted above it. The rustic
Alaskan cabin Dane had expected turned out to be a two story log home.
A short distance from the house was a large metal
shed and farther away surrounded by wooden fencing was what looked to be a
large barn. Vyce pulled the truck up near the front door of the house.
Once the engine was shut off, the silence was deafening.
Even a smaller town like Harrison had trucks and cars going by and people
yelling back and forth, normal stuff. Other than the tink, tink of the truck’s
engine cooling, Dane heard nothing.
Fyuri’s dark gaze met Dane’s. “Welcome to our home,
Dane.”
Dane had to clear the warm bubbling emotions
clogging his throat. “Thank you.”
Vyce turned and looked over the back of his seat.
“Zip up and put on your hat. It’s cold outside.”
The urge to stick out his tongue at Vyce was
enormous. In the end, the brothers opened their doors and got out of the truck,
so Dane followed orders, left the vehicle and stepped into a whole new world.
“Holy…” Dane choked on the bitter cold. He covered
his mouth and nose with his hand. The skin on his hand started tingling.
“Geeze,” Dane complained.
“You’ll get used to it.” Vyce’s hand closed around
Dane’s now freezing free hand. “Let’s get out of this wind and go into the
house.”
The wind Vyce just brought Dane’s attention to picked
up and he thought the skin on his face was going to fall off from the stinging
needles of air.
Dane was more than ready to follow Vyce into a nice
warm house. Just as he took a couple of
steps, behind Dane came a low woof. Dane stopped but was jerked forward by
Vyce’s grip on his hand. Another louder low woof sounded sending prickles of
fear up his spine.
Vyce paused, and in a panic, Dane turned to see what
was about to make him lunch. Standing in front of Dane were two gigantic dogs,
the size of horses. Paralyzed with fear, Dane watched the animals move as one towards
him, spring into the air… and missed.
