I stepped out of the basin, steam still billowing out of the large metal tub, even though I spent so much time soaking that my fingertips were shriveled.

I didn’t ask where the creatures had gotten the tub, didn’t even ask how they heated so much water in such a short amount of time. I just enjoyed the water and warmth, and feeling clean and relaxed after a very stressful day.

There was a thick strip of cloth draped over the tub, and I grabbed it, drying myself off and wrapping up the long fall of my blonde locks.

And then I just stood there.

The three males had kept their promise to give me space. I hadn’t seen them since I left the room and sequestered myself in here to bathe.

I picked up the shift that had been draped over a wooden chair in the corner. There was this massive amount of confusion in me that these creatures—so primal and feral—were also so thoughtful. It was as if they thought about every little comfort I might need or want. I’d never had anyone make my needs a priority, not even my parents. They’d been all about surviving each day. And I had been the same way.

So having someone care so much left me speechless.

I squeezed my eyes shut and stood there for a long moment. After I was dressed, I reminded myself that I could not connect with these creatures. I shouldn’t want to.

They took me from my home. But on the heels of that thought, I told myself that was a lie. The storm was violent outside. If they hadn’t brought me here, my fate would’ve been far worse than anything I could’ve imagined.

They saved me. Protected me. Clothed and fed me.

And they made me feel aroused like I’d never experienced before. Nothing I could’ve ever dreamed of before.

I’d been lonely for far too long, even before my parents passed away. And my first instinct was to latch onto these feelings and sensations, to just accept these emotions brewing—building, percolating, bubbling, pulsing—inside my mind and body with no question.

It didn’t matter that these bear-beasts weren’t human. Nothing mattered but exploring what all of this meant.

Because what was so wrong with just giving in?

What would people think? Say?

But I shook my head, pushing those thoughts away. I didn’t care about any of that, if I were being honest.

My family had never been social with the village. We were deemed outcasts because of a lurid history that had been painted about my parents years before.

They’d been too young when they’d started a relationship with each other. My father was of higher social standing than Mom, which meant they were forbidden to be together. But they had refused the rules and laws set forth by people who didn’t care about what made them happy, and the rest was history. And I knew, before they died, they loved each other more with each passing day.

And that's what I wanted. I wanted that happiness. I wanted that feeling like I was special to someone… or plural, as the case was right now.
