Chapter Six

Eric’s bear ran smack into the ice shelter at full speed. He had been locating it by smell, and had miscalculated how far away it was. In the total whiteout he couldn’t actually see it, and he had thought he still had about fifty feet to go. But he wasn’t going to complain about the bump to his head. The important thing was that they were there. In the next moment, he felt Delaney slide off of him with a thud. At first, he thought she had realized that they were back at the shelter and jumped off. But as he turned to look at her, he realized she was unconscious. She must be suffering from severe hypothermia.

Eric felt his heart drop as he shifted back into a human and lifted Delaney’s still form in his arms. The cold hit his naked skin, and he knew in just moments frostbite would start to form, but all he could think about was Delaney.

“Stay with me, girl, stay with me!” he cried out, even though he knew she couldn’t hear him at the moment. He kicked open the door to the ice shelter and pulled her inside. Mercifully, the heat was still working. The warmth washed over him like a welcome ray of sunshine.

Delaney’s clothes were crusted with snow and ice, and he knew he’d have to get her out of them. He grabbed a pair of heavy duty scissors from a supply drawer and started cutting off the layers. This wasn’t exactly how he would have liked the first time he undressed her to go. He’d pictured something a little more romantic. But he had no choice. Her life depended on getting her warmed up, and the frozen clothes had to go.

The dampness of the ice and snow had thankfully not yet reached down to her bra and underwear, so he left those alone. He dug in her duffel bag that had been left on one of the bunks, and found a pair of thermal pants and the thickest sweater he could find. He pulled those on, and then found some wool socks to put on her feet, as well.

He checked her pulse, just to be sure. To his relief, she still had a pulse, although it was very slow. Her body had been shutting down, trying to protect her from the frigid temperatures. Eric picked her up gingerly and laid her across the bottom bunk, then covered her with several thick, warm blankets. He found himself some clothes, and quickly got dressed. Then he squeezed onto the tiny bunk and under the blankets with Delaney.

He knew she might freak out when she came to, and found him in bed with her, but she needed to warm up. His body heat would help her do that, and, right now, warming her up was more important than worrying about freaking her out. Besides, it probably wasn’t possible to freak her out any more than he already had. She had to be overwhelmed with the discovery that her new friend was actually a giant bear.
