“ Well I reckon I’ll go check it out, Hoss.” Josh bit back a laugh as a stream of obscenities came through the radio. “Yee haw.” Josh laughed as Wayne told him to shove it where the sun don’t shine. He grabbed his jacket and gloves. The wind was picking up now and he knew it was going to be brutal tonight. What kind of idiot walked around outside in this shit? Oh that’s right, he did. Just because some damn tourist decided to stray off the beaten path. Somebody was slacking up top, because there weren’t supposed to be any tourists at the lodge this late in the season, that ended in September and it was almost Christmas. “Fuck.”

What the fuck was I thinking? Mark felt the wind
whipping at him and bundled up tighter. Snow was coming in fast now, and his goggles were fogging up on the inside. Every breath froze his lungs and hurt like hell. Mark had put on layer upon layer of clothing, and could still feel the biting winds chilling him to the bone. His hand was shaking with the compass in it and he knew he couldn’t stay out much longer. His mind was still working, and as a doctor he knew even with the layer of clothing, hypothermia would set in. He could feel beginning, even now. Mark was tired and he wanted to lie down and sleep. Every effort to pick up his foot and move it again felt like someone had attached weights to it.
He dragged himself another ten feet or so before resting on a tree. Jesus, his body was shaking so bad he swore he was knocking nonexistent leaves off the tree above him. It was so pretty out here. Mark sat down and pulled his knees up to his chest wrapping his arms around them. He thought he saw a light off in the distance, and hauled his sore body back up. The only thing that kept him going was Josh, Josh’s face, Josh’s lips….Josh.
The ground rushed up to meet him, and he lay face down in the cold snow. Mark rolled over on his back and stared at the sky, it was so pretty. Alight show was going on. Wait, what time was it? It was an all-out effort to try and bring his wrist to his face. Finally giving up, he just lay there, staring up at the sky. Snow covered him in seconds. He tried to brush it off his face, but even that took too much effort. Mark closed his eyes and listened to his heartbeat. It was slowing now, and he knew his pulse was getting weak. God he was an idiot. He was going to die out in the wilderness, and the only thing he would miss the most was the lips of the one man that’d brought him here.

Fuck but the wind was a bitch, and snow slapped Josh in the face. He trudged through it looking for dumbass in the snow. What an idiot. And yet here he was, looking for said idiot in the middle of a snow storm. He heard a cracking behind him and spun around looking for the cause. His eyes made contact with those of a black wolf. He sighed and bent down. “Dammit Dakota, you scared the shit out of me, I thought you were a grizzly.” Josh put his gloved hand out and was met with a snap at the tip, and then he was being pulled forward. “What’s up?” Dakota let go and Josh followed him. Dakota trotted in front of him looking back now and then to make sure Josh was keeping up.
Another mile of walking south from where he was had him in dense forest, and then Dakota stopped, sitting on his haunches with a low growl. Josh could see a bump in the ground and made his way closer. No, not a bump, it was a body. Fuck, the tourist. Josh moved the snow off the body and hauled it up over his shoulder. Not too heavy, but the body structure said man; unless, of course, it was a woman with no tits, because he didn’t feel bumps on his back. The walk back to the cabin had Dakota right on his heels. Dakota was the only wolf pack member that constantly made contact with him. He always showed up around dinner time. How convenient. Dakota sat on the porch as Josh made his way inside. He put the tourist down on the couch and stripped off his own
