The wolves continue to howl as I lead the three Bronws boys off into the direction of my house. They followed closely and quietly like I asked. Within the hour we reach my side of the mountain and my house comes into site. It is only about 11 at night and the moon is still high. I stop and turn to the boys. "This is my home, please be careful of the dogs, they will bark but only until I tell them not." They nod and look open eyed at my cabin. The dogs start to bark as we get closer to door. They look nervously around for wolves. I let the dogs out and the dogs run up and bark like crazy. I yell at them to be quiet and they go quiet. Bear sticks a tentative hand out to pet them. They both put up with the affection before running off to play. "Okay boys, come inside." I open my door and walk in. The cabin quickly fills up as the door shuts behind us. "Feel free to make yourselves comfy on the couch or something..." I just trail off while they start to undress their layers. I just blush and turn around to clean up a bit. When I turn back around I can't help but look at them. All of their bodies in different muscular size. Bear being small, Matt being an average size, and Gabe... I couldn't stop staring. His chest was so well built but what made me stare were those shoulder and back muscles. He was incredibly built. I heard a crazy laugh but it didn't pull me out of my trance. They were still pulling layers off when Matt laughed. "Looks like you got HER attention Gabe." He looks confused but then sees me staring. He immediately blushes and looks down at his feet. I blush equally as much and make them some quick soup. What I didn't know was that night as they slept in my house on blankets, Gabe's mind wouldnt stop think about me.

The next couple days I got them home and completely fed. They invited me to stay in Browntown and after half a year I finally did. Gabe was the main reason. He was interested in me but had to hike a mountain to see me so I moved down the mountain. I still go up there occasionally keeping the cabin nice for any possible lost hikers. Gabe had agreed to help me build a cabin, now three days later it's still not done. I had the option of staying in the house which is what I have been doing. Gabe graciously gave up his bed for me and would sleep on the floor next to the mattress. Tonight though I have a plan. As the sun goes down he family starts to settle in for the night. Matt, Noah, Bam go to their separate cabins while Gabe sits with me around the fire. Ami and bully and the girls say their good nights and head off to the cabin. As soon as they leave Gabe gets a little nervous. "So uh, you like it down here?" He asks running the back of his neck. I smile, "yes, after living alone for so long I am glad you guys came along. I feel happier around you." He seems to get what I had said. I meant to emphasize HE was the reason I came. I knew he got it because he was speechless. I could tell he wanted to talk. "S-so, you stayed because of me?" He asks. I smile warmly again and cross the fire to sit next to him. "Yes, the first time I saw you, you stuck out. I couldn't figure out why. I am pulled to you for some reason and I hope you feel it too. Because if not I might as well leave." He sat there staring at the fire for a while. I started to get nervous. He then smiled and looked to me. "Yes, I want you to stay." My whole face let up and I hugged him. He seemed taken aback by this but he hugged back anyway. We talked for an hour or so before heading in. The family was asleep as we tip toed up the stairs and into his room. I sat on the mattress feeling guilty of being more comfortable than him. All he had was two blankets to lay on. Right after he turned out the light and took off his shirt he sighed and started to head for the blankets. I suddenly grabbed his arm and pulled him on the bed. He landed with an "ooff" and he aked, "what was that for?" "You sleep here tonight. I will sleep on the floor." I started to slide off but he grabbed my wrist, "Why not the both of us on here?" I looked back to see he was serious. So I climbed back on slowly and got under the covers. "Can I touch your chest?" I ask. He giggles and nods his head under the covers. I reach a hand out and run it over his bare chest. He gets goosebumps down his arms. Just as I stroke it a second time he reaches out and brings me to him. I settle my head on his chest and drift asleep. "Thanks for staying." Was the last thing I heard him say.
