“Some adventure,” Amanda said.
“Some adventure, indeed,” said Dylan.
“Did you know they would be looking for you?” Amanda asked.
“I didn’t even know they existed,” said Dylan.
“Crazy, isn’t it? To think that you have a family you’ve never even met,” said Amanda sitting across from Dylan in the hot tub.
“Yeah, it kind of is,” he agreed.
He smiled at Amanda with that crooked grin of his, clearly indicating that he was done wondering about how crazy that was.
“C’mere,” he growled.
Amanda slid over onto the seat beside him and he put his arm around her. He pulled her close and rubbed his thumb over her shoulder.
“Dylan,” she said. “There’s something I want to tell you.”
Dylan stopped and grew stiff.
“No, it’s not bad,” said Amanda.
She turned to face him.
“I wanted to tell you this. I didn’t tell you I loved you when you said it first because I wasn’t sure that I felt that way or if I was ready to tell you,” she said.
Dylan nodded with trepidation.
“What I’m trying to say is that I know now,” she went on. “I love you, Dylan.”
A smile came to his lips. He brought her in to kiss her and slowly parted her lips with his tongue. Amanda kissed him back, passionately. She let him explore her mouth as though it were the first time all over again.
She pulled away for a second.
“Things are about to get crazy, aren’t they?” she asked him slightly sad.
“I think so,” he said.
“I’m going with you to Alaska,” said Amanda.
“You really don’t have to do that,” said Dylan.
“I know I don’t have to. It’s something I want to do,” she said.
Dylan smiled again and brushed some of her hair out of her eyes. He pulled her into his side and put his arm around her again, holding her tightly.
They sat there in silence, enjoying the contrast of the ice cold weather on their exposed skin and the heat of the tub underneath the water. Amanda leaned her head onto his naked shoulder and placed a hand on his chest under the water. She felt for his heartbeat and slowly began to count its beats. Things might have been about to change, but Amanda knew some things would always remain the same.

Deep in the Alaskan forest, Amanda is captured by the Kodiak clan. They severely fracture her leg, making her unable to walk. Helpless, she is brought back to their cave where she encounters Virgil for the first time. She doesn’t think there’s much of a chance that he’s going to want anything to do with his family.
Jase and Dylan show up in the night to rescue Amanda and they get into a brawl with the Kodiak clan. Will Virgil stop things in time to spare Dylan’s life or will he let the curse remain unbroken?

Chapter 1
Amanda had spent most of her summer in Mountain View with Dylan. She stayed at her parents’ cabin and Dylan came and stayed there with her. Dylan’s brother, Jase, was scheduled to meet them the next day. He was from Vancouver and shared Dylan’s ability to shift into a Kermode spirit bear.
Most days Dylan would go to work and then come home to find dinner cooked, which he always devoured with zest, and then afterwards they would spend time in the living room, trying to make it through an episode of a show on Netflix, but never quite managing to. Tonight they were watching The X-Files.
“You know, you kind of remind me of Mulder,” Amanda said to Dylan as she sat beside him, holding his hand. His thumb gently stroked the back of her hand.
“Oh, yeah? Is it my stunning good looks and charming personality?” he asked.
“Well,” Amanda began. “Those help, but mainly I was thinking because you made me believe in things I never thought were possible.”
“Like love?” Dylan asked, throwing a hand up to his forehead like a damsel in distress. He sighed dramatically.
“More like people turning into animals and then turning back into humans,” Amanda said with a giggle. “But we can go with the love thing if you want to.”
“It’s much healthier for my ego if we go with your version. You wouldn’t want my head to get so big I can’t make it in the door,” Dylan jested.
Dylan took the opportunity when Amanda was giggling at him to jump on top of her and start tickling her. She fought and laughed.
“I’m gonna pee my pants if you don’t stop!” she got out between laughs. She had almost lost her breath. He snuck both hands into her hoodie and tickled her sides just below her ribs. It had always been Amanda’s weak spot when it came to tickling. With Dylan on top of her she could hardly fight back. “Uncle! Uncle!” she cried out.
“You want me to stop?” he asked playfully, still tickling her.
“Please!” she cried.
“Okay,” said Dylan. He dove in for a deep kiss. He parted her lips as though it was second nature to him. The gently movements of his tongue contrasted sharply with the vigor with which he had been tickling her. Now he was taking his time.
Amanda parted her legs to allow him to place his hips between them. He slid his hand further up her hoodie and grazed his fingers over the portion of her breast that spilled out of the top of her bra. He slid his hand inside, cupping her breast with his warm and large hand.
Dylan’s hands were rough from his work, but Amanda loved it. The idea of him working in the lumber yard all day and then coming home to make love to her was all she needed to get going. She’d only just lost her virginity to Dylan a few months prior and it had been amazing. Nothing at all like what her friends had said their first times were like. She felt lucky.
He caressed her breast and placed a kiss on her jawline, working his way up to her ear where he whispered, “I need you, Amanda.” His voice was almost a groan and the reverberations of the sound in her ear sent a pulse to her groin. She could feel the heat radiating from her core and she wondered if he could feel it, too. He must have because he took his other hand and placed it between her legs against her workout pants.
Amanda moaned as Dylan massaged her. He worked his hand gently and then firmly and gently again until Amanda’s hips were bucking, begging for more of him against her flesh. Dylan stopped and unbuckled his jeans, threw off his shirt and stood, slipping all the way out of his pants. His erection strained against his boxer briefs and the blue light from the TV illuminated him, painting a halo around his whole body.
He reached down and extended a hand to Amanda. She grabbed it and stood. He placed his hands on her waist and slid them inside her hoodie. He went up and up until the garment was coming off over her head. He pulled her pants down and she stood in her bra and underwear. He spun her around and undid her bra. Her large breasts fell freely and the cool air of the cabin caused her nipples to tighten into small pink buds. From behind, Dylan reached up for her breasts. The roughness of his hands combined with his gentle touch sent Amanda into a fit of desire. She turned to face him.
Amanda opened her mouth to speak and Dylan shushed her with a finger. She closed her mouth again and watched as he gave her that crooked smile of his that meant he was surely up to no good. He reached down to her waist and slid a finger into the waistband of her panties. She shivered at his touch. He ran the finger around to the back of her underwear and began to pull them down. He cupped her ass and squee
zed tightly, causing Amanda to moan softly. He reached around with his other hand and grabbed the other cheek, causing her panties to slide down around her thighs. He pulled them all the way off and she stepped out of them.
On his knees in front of her he used a hand to tell her to spread her legs apart and she did. She knew what he was going to do and no matter how many times he did it, she was always on pins and needles anticipating the heat of his mouth to envelop her heat. She felt a slickness growing between her legs as she spread them. Dylan reached up and wrapped his arms around her legs, holding onto the back of her thighs.
Amanda stepped her feet apart and allowed Dylan full access to all of her body. She placed a hand on his head, running her fingers through his hair, which was getting longer. It felt like silk. It was so thick and smooth. Models would kill for hair like his.
He ran his hands up her thighs and back down again. When he came back up, he brushed his fingertips against her lips causing her to gasp.
“Someone’s ready,” he growled. Amanda looked down and could see that his erection had only gotten harder in the last minute or two. Dylan followed her gaze. “Oh, you want to see that?”
Amanda only nodded her head.
“I want you to ask for it,” he said with that devilish grin of his she had become so fond of. Amanda stammered and tried to get the words out.
“L-let me see it, please,” she said, embarrassed of the words as she spoke them. Dylan liked to hear her talk like that but she was still so unused to it. She liked it, too, when he did it. She loved to hear the filthy things that came out of his mouth when they were in the throes of passion. It drove her wild and she wondered if her talking like that did the same thing to Dylan.
He reached down and pulled his boxer briefs off slowly and finally, he sprung free from them and Amanda could see a bead of liquid at his tip. He ran his hand over it, up and down, and leaned his head back at the pleasure of his own touch.
“Enough about me,” he said, opening his hungry eyes and eating Amanda up. She swallowed.
Dylan knelt before her and placed a kiss on her abdomen, just above her little patch of pubic hair. He inhaled her scent deeply and groaned. He kissed a little further down, then a little further down until he was almost on the spot.
Finally, Dylan took her into his mouth. He sucked on her flesh, pulling that sweet little spot into his mouth. The suction was almost too much for Amanda. She pulled on his hair without thinking. He let up on the pressure and ran his tongue in circles around her clit, not ever touching it directly. She felt like she was going to faint.
Amanda braced herself on Dylan’s shoulders. He flattened his tongue and pressed it against her. She gasped at the sensation and felt her knees begin to weaken. Dylan reached up and held her by the waist, intent on the task at hand.
The feeling of his hot mouth crashing against her heat was more than Amanda could take. She felt herself getting close.
“I’m close, Dylan,” she gasped.
Dylan didn’t stop for a second. He reached down with one hand and slid a finger against her lips, teasing her opening. She ground her hips, pressing herself hard into his mouth. He slipped his finger inside of her, hitting her g-spot instantly and sending her shaking. She gripped his shoulders tighter and he only worked her over even more.
Amanda could feel that tingling begin to form and spread throughout her core and her legs. She could feel the wave of pleasure about to crash over her. She let it and she contracted around his finger, pulling away from his mouth. She shuddered as she stood there, naked before him. She could feel the flush in her cheeks and Dylan looked up and smiled at her.
There was a knock at the door and the handle turned. Dylan stood and spun quickly, guarding Amanda as the door opened. Completely naked and still erect, he was ready to fight the stranger breaking in.
A man stepped through the door and began to laugh. He held his hands up in surrender.
It was Jase.
Oh my God, Amanda thought. This could not possibly be more humiliating. She covered her breasts with one arm and her crotch with the other. She didn’t dare turn around and show him her ass. She stood there with her mouth open, aftershocks still rocking her body. Jase took her out of the moment quickly, though.
“You wanna put some clothes on?” Jase asked Dylan. “Hey, Amanda,” he said, looking around Dylan and at Amanda. She only forced a smile and nodded. Dylan grabbed a blanket from the couch and handed it to Amanda which she quickly covered up with.
Dylan grabbed his underwear and slid them on. Then he grabbed his jeans and as he was buttoning them, he spoke.
“So do you regularly go walking into other people’s homes unannounced?” he asked Jase, irritated.
“Only when they know I’m coming,” Jase said casually as he grabbed an apple off the counter and began to crunch loudly on the crisp fruit. “Delicious.”
“We weren’t expecting you until tomorrow,” Dylan said, still annoyed.
“Plans change, bro,” said Jase. “I decided to skip my tour of San Francisco and just come up right away. I thought the sooner we could get this show on the road, the better.”
Dylan seemed unable to fight the logic of his brother’s statement, no matter how infuriating the situation was that he found himself in because of it. He turned to Amanda who was still covering herself with the blanket. Her eyes were wide.
“So when are we leaving?” Jase asked Dylan.
“When do you want to leave?” Dylan asked him.
Amanda felt left out of the conversation, but she wasn’t particularly excited about having been seen at her most vulnerable by someone that she barely knew. She just listened.
“Tomorrow,” said Jase. “There’s a storm coming and it’s headed for Kodiak Island. I want us to be out of there and done with this by the time that storm hits.”
“You’re right,” Dylan acquiesced. He nodded and turned to Amanda. “Can you be ready to go tomorrow?”
“I can,” she said.
Dylan stepped towards her and placed his hands on her shoulders.
“You know that you don’t have to go with me, right?” Dylan asked her, searching her eyes with his.
“I know that. I want to come with you,” she said urgently. “You’re not getting rid of me.”
Dylan smiled.
“You’re pretty stubborn. Anyone ever tell you that?” he asked.
“Yeah, everyone my whole life,” Amanda said with a laugh. Dylan hugged her.
They settled Jase in for the night and went to bed themselves. Amanda hugged tight to Dylan that night. Their last night in Mountain View. They would be back soon, though, she thought. Wouldn’t they?
Chapter 2
Their flight out of Seattle was almost ready for takeoff. Amanda sat between Jase and Dylan, which was probably good because they kept fighting; however, she was tired of being a human shield for either of them.
“No, you’re wrong,” said Jase to Dylan, stretching out so that his body was almost across Amanda’s lap. She raised up her hands in a surrendering gesture.
“Look, Jase, you don’t know the first thing about the Kodiaks and this isn’t the place to be talking about it anyway,” said Dylan, nervously looking around at the other passengers.
“Enough!” Amanda shouted, finally sick and tired of the whole exercise. “Both of you shut up until we land in Alaska. I’m sick of it. I don’t want to hear another word the whole flight,” she said, pointing a warning finger at one of them and then turning to the other. They both looked at her sheepishly. Jase gave her a smile that mirrored Dylan’s crooked grin and she couldn’t help but smile back at him.
Amanda got out the book that she’d brought for the trip, not that she’d be doing much reading other than on the plane. It was a short classic sci-fi piece. The tale was of sea monsters and time travelers by an author she didn’t recognize, but she was always trying to branch out when it came to her entertainment. She giggled at the thought. She’d truly branche
d out when she’d started seeing Dylan.
He looked at her with raised eyebrows as though to say, “What?”
“Nothing, nothing,” she said, composing herself once more and delving into the story.
The flight passed without much excitement. Refreshments were served and Amanda was glad to have a bag of peanuts to tide her over until they could get somewhere to eat in Anchorage. She didn’t know the first thing about Alaska, so she was hoping Jase did because Dylan hadn’t let on if he did know anything.
They landed easily at the airport and even though it was summer, when they walked out of the terminal, down through baggage claim, and out the front door they were met with a blast of cold air. Amanda was very glad she’d decided to bring her winter coat. Good call.
