Chapter Thirteen

Less than 15 minutes later, Garret came tearing into the cabin, saw Mariah on the couch, ran to her and picked her up with his powerful arms, and sat down with her curled into him. “Oh Mariah, I am so sorry Baby. I should have been here. I’m so sorry I wasn’t here for you.” Mariah loved the feeling of security and warmth of Garret’s body and kissing back and loving the thrill of it, forgetting the trauma that brought them to this and sighed like she had been holding her breath forever.

“Sawyer, thanks man, I owe you one. I got it from here.” Garret assured Sawyer. “I really am sorry, Baby.” Garret repeated as he took the liberty of a soft kiss. Which turned to another, then another. Mariah was holding on for dear life. Garret slowly stood with Mariah in his arms and walked to the bed and carefully laid her down. As he looked down on her, he reminded himself to go slow as he removed her clothing and then his, never taking his eyes from her. He slid onto the bed beside her, Mariah started to panic, but Garret kept calming her with his soft, low, deep voice. Next thing she knew his mouth was on her. “Uh Garret, please don’t bite or pinch.” Mariah said softly.

Garret pulled back and looked at her, surprised at the request, but kept going. Soon he was licking her personal parts and she tensed again, he continued to stroke her and she was soon screaming out with the first orgasm of her life.

Mariah sat up and started screaming at Garret while crying again. “My God Garret, what did you do, you broke me! Get out of here Garret! Go, leave, leave now. I can’t handle this. No don’t touch me. Leave Garret now! Going into a complete panic, Mariah jumped and ran into the bathroom, closed and locked the door, then listened for Garret to leave.

Once Mariah heard the door close, she ran out and locked every lock on the door, she then ran back to the bathroom and turned on the shower, climbed in, slid to the floor and curled into small ball with her arms wrapped around her knees, she sobbed so hard, she didn’t hear Lucca come in. Garret had caught up with him right outside the cabin and told him what happened. So Lucca used their hidden tunnel and entered the cabin to try to calm Mariah, to see what had happened.

Seeing Mariah on the floor of the shower still sobbing her heart out, it broke his heart. He walked in, went to the shower, slid the curtain back, and shut off the water. “Oh, no, no, no precious. What’s going on? He bent down, picked Mariah up, wrapped her in a towel, and carried her to the rocking chair by the bed. He grabbed an extra blanket to wrap her in, and rocked her quietly, hummed a soft tune to try to calm her.

Holding her close, once again Lucca asked her what had happened. Mariah blew her nose and tried to look at Lucca, but was so embarrassed. Here she was crying like a baby, naked, wet, and ashamed she had yelled at Garret. When she knew in her heart he was trying to do something nice for her. She had heard other girls talk at college, not only her sisters, but the college students she had studied with. She had tried to cover her past, so the new students wouldn’t know her history, but eventually they found out anyway.

“Garret was trying to do something nice for me and I freaked out and yelled at him.” Mariah started explaining. Still with tears in her eyes and now with the hiccups, she tried to tell Lucca how bad she felt and that she had gotten scared and didn’t know how to handle it with everything else that had happened earlier. So Lucca quietly asked Mariah if she was a virgin. Mariah sat up straight with indignation and replied “Well, of course not!” But she also realized she owed these guys an explanation, the truth about her past.

No matter how badly she wanted no one in her new life to know, if she wanted to keep Garret and Lucca, she was going to have to come clean. Just then the front door was pushed open, not knowing Lucca had unlocked it as soon as he came in. Big Gray came in, slowly walked over to Mariah and laid his head in her lap. She started to pet him and said” Oh Gray, I was so mean to Garret. Do you think he will ever forgive me?”

“I mean I really yelled at him Lucca. Like the type of yelling that even scared me.” Gray just snuggled his muzzle in deeper, looking at Mariah like he knew just what she was talking about. She could tell the big wolf knew Mariah was in distress and was trying to comfort her.

Mariah reached up with her right hand and laid it on Lucca’s cheek, and she had her left on Big Gray, sighing Mariah said, “Okay, any minute my phone will be ringing and it will be Maranda. Emotional upheavals alert our twin. She’ll know something happened. We can’t always tell if it’s positive or negative emotion, but we always call each other so we know the other is okay. She explained. “Now that I am back in control…and the phone rang. “There she is now. When I get off the phone, the three of us need to sit down and get some secrets out of the way. You both may want to stay a fair piece away from me. Lucca, can you get us all a beer, and Gray, you need to go change while I talk to Maranda in case you have questions.” With that Mariah grabbed her phone and headed to the loft.
