Chapter Seven

Jane angrily paced across the carpet in the guest bedroom, her hands balling into fists. Damn Everett McKinnon! It wasn’t her fault she'd wound up stuck in the mountains during a blizzard with three strange and, apparently, murderous men. She didn’t know for sure if they had committed murder, but they sure had no problems threatening to kill each other.

As for Everett treating her like a child by ordering her up to her room, he’d no right to do that. He certainly lorded it over Caleb and Avery. Acted as if he was their warden and they were his prisoners.

But she also couldn’t deny the undisputable animal magnetism he possessed. Not only because of his powerfully built body which, she had to admit, was impressive enough, but he also gave off a dangerous aura of authority and control. And the more she was around him and the other two who, in their own ways, were just as captivating, the hornier she was becoming. And the last thing she wanted or needed was to get involved with any of them.

She decided to remain in the guest bedroom. Just to be on the safe side. There was no computer or television in the room, but fortunately there were plenty of books. Mostly books on travel. She spent the day either reading or taking short catnaps.

Once, while she'd been reading a book of cowboy poetry that she found in amid the travelogues, she heard footsteps approaching from the hall. She immediately tensed, but she didn’t know if it was from fear or anticipation.

The footsteps stopped just outside the door. As she held her breath, whoever it was stood for a moment and then, as if he’d changed his mind, walked away. She had no idea if it had been Avery, Caleb or Everett.

She fell asleep again soon after. When she woke up, she saw by the clock on the dresser it was almost seven. There was hollowness in her stomach. She hadn’t eaten since breakfast.

She got up from the bed, left the room and went down to the lower level. Just as she was about to go towards the kitchen, she heard a voice behind her.

“There’s food in the fridge.” Avery stood in the walkway between the kitchen and the living room.

“I set some aside for you,” he said. “I wanted to come and get you for supper, but Everett said not to.” He went over to the refrigerator and took out a plate. “I’ll heat this up in the microwave for you. You’re probably starving.”

“I am. Thank you.” She sat down at the table.

“Did you sleep any?” Avery asked after he’d gotten the microwave going.

She nodded. “I also found some books to read.”

“What sort of books?”

Jane shrugged. “Mostly travelogues. And a book of poetry.”

“You like poetry?”

“Not really. I mean, I like poetry that rhymes. This one was a book of cowboy poetry.”

“It was my mother's.”

“Oh, I didn’t know. I’m sorry. I didn't mean to pry or anything.”

He smiled. “You don't have to apologize.
