Chapter Six

“Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God.” Mariah cried to herself as she walked into the cabin with her first couple bags. “They are, wow, just wow,. Talk about tall, dark, and hamdsome. That doesn’t even touch it.” Mariah talked to herself a lot. It usually helped her work things out in her mind. But finishing high school and going to the university, she had never once encountered anyone that invoked this reaction, and there are two of them, “O. Oh no you’re not Mariah Marie, I need to talk to Maranda, I may be in trouble. You can handle this. You are a professional here. You are here for your descertation. You can do this. Just unload the car, get things put away and see if you can manage to get the computers up and running for your reports. Just do it!”

Right as Mariah headed back out the front door, both guys were coming in with armloads of tech equipment. “I can get this all set up for you, if you want. I was the tech guy for our camp”. “Camp?” Mariah inquired.

“We are with a small group of men up here that pooled our resources and invested it in the land here.” Garret replied. “Our land runs right along side the government land where they are planning on relocating your wolves. This is the closest housing they could get for you. Lucca added “we’ll be happy to help you in any way we can, and computers is what I am good at.”

“Wow, that explains a lot.” Mariah tried to mumble under her breath, not knowing they could hear every whisper she made. “You know, that would be great. I’m not all that good with computers and the company sent two for different reports, besides having my own.”

“No problem”,Garret chimed in. “You have a receiver on your roof here, and Dean Harper that has the Lodge, has a booster. Sometimes if the weather is really bad, the cell service can be a little sketchy, but it usually works most of the time.”

“Thanks for the info. I researched this area before I decided to take this job, but some information just isn’t available.” Mariah replied. Thinking to herself “Like do all the guys up here look like these two? How many more are there? Are any of them single? What the hell is the matter with me? I don’t even like men. They scare the hell out of me. I’m already loosing it and my wolf pack isn’t even here yet!

“Oh, did you say something?” Lucca said “I didn’t catch it?” Heading back out the door he had stopped to look at Mariah. “No, nothing, just humming a tune.” Mariah said. Lucca and Garret both smiled enjoying the moment. Mental message to Lucca from Garret, “Wait until we get our hands on Dean, he has a lot to answer for!”

The guys set up equipment, rearranged Mariah’s furniture to her liking, and offered to fix supper for her. The small talk had been enjoyable and she found out more about the area and the town of Cedar Creek that was the closest town. Though small it did have a few stores for supplies and groceries. But she was anxious to call Maranda and unload on her. That’s what twin sisters were for, and she had plenty to unload! The guys were very polite, helpful, and very gallant. They wouldn’t let her carry or lift, or anything involving reaching, they would do for her. Guess I need to add step ladder to my list, she thought with a giggle after they left.
