Alpha's Embrace 1(5)

“Yes I’m sure, I feel I can trust you and I always go on the instincts of my animals and they like you,” he giggled as the snow hare reached up and started to nuzzle Lyanne’s hand as it sat beside the couch.





Chapter 3




Even though Lyanne had been through a terrible ordeal, she felt relaxed in Darian’s company. She would normally crumble in a guy’s company and especially one like Darian. But there was something so appealing about him. Lyanne had never felt this drawn to a guy before, it was as though he’d cast a spell over her and bewitched her in some way.



She was aware of him staring at her with his warm hazel eyes and glanced down focusing her attention on the snow hare. It really was a beautiful animal, “What happened to him?”



Darian smiled, “He was picked up by a bald eagle, it dropped him and never returned for him. He had some bad injuries from its talons but I fixed him up.”



Lyanne stroked the hare as it cuddled into her warm hand. She noticed an arctic fox beside Darian and various other small creatures.



“I’m a trainee veterinary nurse and love all animals, this is like heaven to me,” she smiled at him and wondered why she was sharing her life with this handsome stranger so easily.



“That explains why I like you then,” he smiled back moving closer toward Lyanne.



The snow hare had now managed to hop up on to the couch with Lyanne and she winced as it touched her leg, “Hey you, come on hop off. Let me check your bandage,” said Darian.



He leant across her from the floor and gently pulled back the blanket. Her bandage was nicely in place and as he touched her leg to check it, she felt her skin tingle with excitement.



“It looks good to me, as do you. Oh god, I apologize I shouldn’t have said that.”



“Why? It was a lovely thing to say. Nobody has ever spoken to me like that before Darian,” it was the truth, Nathan had never said anything about her looks, only negative things generally followed up with a charming comment to worm his way out of an argument.



Darian left his hand gently resting on her leg and turned to face her. He leant across and gently brushed a stray strand of her wavy red hair from her face placing it behind her ear.



“I must look a mess,” she whispered as she stared deep into his eyes.



“Not at all, you look quite beautiful. I don’t exactly have a lot of female company up here Lyanne, so I’m a bit out of touch with how to treat a lady.”



Lyanne blushed shyly, “Oh, believe me you’re doing just fine.”



He stood up slightly and perched on the edge of the couch being very careful not to hurt her leg in the process. Lyanne’s breathing was shallow and fast, her pulse was racing. She’d been kissed before but only by Nathan and she wouldn’t exactly call them passionate kisses.



Darian moved toward her and placed a hand gently under her chin, lifting her face toward him, he bent down slowly and his soft pink lips touched hers. His lips were light and feathery. He placed a hand at the back of her head and she placed her arms around his neck, he felt her touch and his tongue started to probe at her beautifully swollen lips.



She allowed his moist tongue to enter her warm mouth and he groaned quietly as her tongue darted into his wet mouth. Darian plunged his tongue deeper into her mouth and now Lyanne groaned, she’d never been kissed like this before. Every nerve in her body seemed to spark and ignite; every part of her very being craved him. He pulled her closer to him his tongue searching every inch of her moist mouth; she plunged her tongue deeper into his mouth and pulled him closer to her wanting to taste him.



“God, you’re beautiful,” he whispered huskily in her ear as he held her close after their kiss.



She was left shaken to her core by his kiss, how could someone she barely knew have this effect on her? He pulled away and looked deep into her dark green eyes. His eyes were filled with concern.



“Are you okay? I’ve never felt like this before about anyone Lyanne, we’ve only just met but I’m so attracted to you.”



She was so flattered by his words. All Lyanne had ever known was Nathan. She’d never been held tenderly or looked at in the way Darian was looking at her; he made her feel like she was the only person in the world. Lyanne knew she was falling for him and hoped that he felt the same, if the way he looked at her was any indication of his feelings then she was certain he was.



Suddenly the little arctic fox let out a short and sharp bark, Lyanne jumped and Darian stood up going to the window of the cabin. He pulled the curtain back and peered outside.



“We’ve got company Lyanne, cover your leg up,” he said, and she loved his protective tone. She pulled the blanket back over her legs and sat up straight. Who the hell would be visiting Darian up here? He was in the middle of nowhere. He went to the door and she heard muffled voices then the door to the room opened. The arctic fox and all the other animals scarpered to the back of the room as two guys entered followed up by a girl.
