Pulling her closer and lying partially across her body, Remus
ravaged her mouth with his tongue, running it over every surface. At
the same time, his hands caressed her shoulders and ran up and down
her back. Shyly, Maddie placed her hands on his chest. She could feel
the springy hair below the thin cotton of his shirt.
Remus pulled from the kiss to run his lips along her jaw and down
to the hollow of her throat. He slowly brought his hand around to
gently cup her breast. Maddie gasped, and Remus covered her mouth
with his as he firmly squeezed. When Maddie arched into his touch,
Remus brought his fingers quickly to the buttons of her blouse.
Shocked awake by the ringing of her telephone, Maddie was
shaking all over from the intensity of her dream.

Oh, why did I have to wake up before we got to the good stuff?
Maddie snorted. Not that I know anything about the good stuff.
Reaching over, she picked up the phone, not bothering to check
the identity of the caller before she answered. Hello?
Hey, baby sister, how are things back in Wyoming?
Michael, umm, things are fine. How are things in Canada?
What s wrong? You sound funny
Well, you woke me up, and I haven t had time to pull myself
together.
Are you sure that s it? You haven t had any episodes have you?
Did Remus Wind River come to check on you? Have you called Dr.
Constantine?
One question at a time, please, Maddie said, getting annoyed.
No, I haven t had any episodes. Yes, Mr. Wind River came to check
up on me yesterday, and, no, I haven t called the good doctor. I ve
had no reason to call him.
Don t try to run Mr. Wind River off, Maddie. I want him
checking up on you for me. It gives me peace of mind to know he s
near.
Was there a purpose to this call, other than to annoy me, of
course? Maddie let the sarcasm come through her tone clearly.
Don t be a smart ass. I was lonely and wanted to hear your voice.
I m sorry for waking you. I honestly didn t think you d still be
sleeping. I ll try to be more careful when I m harassing you in the
future, he snickered, annoying her even further.
Now who s being the smart ass? I m fine, everything s fine. I
slept better the last two nights than I have in years, straight through
without waking or having nightmares. That should tell you
something.
Maddie, if this turns out to be good for you, then nobody will be
happier than me. But I m still hoping that when I come home, you ll
come back and live with me. You can keep the cabin for vacations,

but I want you in the city with me. I like having you in my home and
my life.
That is so not happening, Michael, not in this lifetime. You need
your space, too, you know? You need to find a nice woman and get
married. Believe me, you ll have much better luck dating if you re not
living with your spacey sister.
Maddie!
No, Michael, I m not discussing this with you right now. Since I
just got woken up, I need to get moving and take care of personal
business, if you know what I mean. Now, I m going to say so long,
glad you called, and stay well. I ll talk to you soon, okay?
All right, I can take a hint. I ll call you in a few days, but please
think about what I said.
Okay, brother dear, I ll think about living with you when you
return. Happy now?
Deliriously. Have a great day, kid! Talk to you soon. Bye, love.
Bye, Michael.
Slowly, she hung up the phone. Sitting up in the bed, she glanced
over at her reflection in the mirror. Okay, I ve given it some thought,
and I reject his proposal that I come and live with him again.
Feeling silly, Maddie giggled and raced toward the bathroom to
start her day.
After taking a quick shower and dressing, she went to the kitchen
to make herself some breakfast. Crossing the room, she heard
something scratching at the front door. Walking quickly to the
window, she peeked out and saw the black wolf standing on the
porch. Delighted, she rushed over to the door and opened it, then
stared down at the wolf.
Well, good morning. Do you want to come in this time?
After Maddie s greeting, the wolf walked past her through the
front door and continued on to collapse on the couch in front of the
fire.

She glared at him in astonishment. Well, it certainly looks like
you ve been in here before. Did Grandpa let you come in and keep
him company?
The wolf continued to stare at her, giving her the eerie feeling that
he understood everything she said.
After fixing herself a bowl of cereal, Maddie sat down next to the
magnificent animal on the couch to eat. Once she was seated, he
scooted closer and lay down with his head and front paws over her
lap. When she finished her breakfast, Maddie reached over to set the
bowl on the table and leaned back to pet the wolf s head.
I wish I had a best friend to talk to. There are so many things
inside me that I want to share with somebody.
She looked down at the beautiful animal and realized that he was
the closest thing she had to a best friend.
How ridiculous is that? My closest friendship is with a wild
animal!
Wolf, I had the strangest dream last night.
The animal raised his head to stare at her. She laughed.
He looks like he s ready for me to tell him a story.
