Her team broke free of the woods and started running straight for a rushing river that ran along the middle of the forest.
“GEE GEE! Simone screamed trying to get the dogs to turn away from the river.
At the last minute the team turned sharply to the right and the sled started to tip. The momentum of the dogs, the off balance sled and the sharp turn flung Simone through the air.
Simone felt weightless for a split second and then bone chilling cold enveloped her as she plunged into the ice cold rushing river. Her body instantly seized up from the freezing temperature of the water. Her muscles locked, making it nearly impossible to swim against the current of the rushing water. And within seconds her clothes were soaked through and she started to lose feeling in her fingers and toes.
Her body started to shake uncontrollably and she quickly started to sink down into the water like a stone. The ice cold water enveloped her, enclosing her in an icy tomb. Simone’s lungs started to burn with the need for air. Instinctively, she took a breath trying to get precious oxygen, taking the frigid water into her lungs and her world went black.
~~~
Jackson and Xander saw the wolf pack chasing down Simone’s sled, and their hearts raced with panic. They knew there had been some wolves uncharacteristically hanging out in the Fairbanks area killing local pets, but they never imagined that they’d be so bold as to chase down a dogsled team.
The men watched helplessly as Simone’s team careened through the woods. Jackson shouted out at his dogs to go faster, trying fervently to catch up with Simone. But her team was going at a breakneck pace.
Xander watched as her team cleared the forest and he and Jackson followed closely in pursuit, gaining a little speed on the erratic sled. The wolves still gave chase alongside her sled team. Simone tried to command the dogs to turn right before they plunged into the river and at the last minute they made a hairpin turn that set-off a chain of events that sent Simone sailing through the air and into the raging river.
Her team kept going trying to get away from the wolves, but they surround them forcing them to stop. Sampson tried to defend his team and attacked what looked to be the alpha male. Xander and Jackson’s sleds came to a halt near the scene and they jumped off their sleds and sprang into action. Jackson ran straight for the river, ripped off his coat and shoes and jumped into the frigid water without a second thought, watching helplessly as Simone struggled against the current. Her limbs flailing uselessly until her movements became sluggish and she started to sink. No, no, no! God, I can’t lose another person I care about like this. Please just let me save her. I couldn’t save them, I couldn’t save my family. I wasn’t strong enough. Please, let me be strong enough now.
Jackson reached her a few seconds later, the adrenaline pumping through his veins kept him from feeling the glacial temperature of the river and he swam like an Olympian in his desperation to save her. Jackson reached out to grab her arm and pulled her to the surface. He wrapped an arm across her shoulders and began to pull her to the river’s edge.
As Jackson rushed for Simone, Xander jumped off of his sled grabbed the gun that he always brought with him on sled tours, in case of this very scenario, and shot it off a couple of times into the air. The wolves immediately ran off back into the forest.
As soon as the threat of the wolves was gone, Xander ran to the edge of the water to meet Jackson as he pulled Simone in. Xander grabbed Jackson’s collar on his coat and started to pull him out of the water as Jackson held on to Simone.
Jackson fell back in the snow catching his breath for a moment while Xander pulled Simone to lay her flat and ripped off his gloves to feel her pulse and leaned his ear to her mouth to check if she was breathing. When he quickly assessed that no air was passing through her mouth or nose he lifted his head, pinched her nose and opened her mouth that was an unsettling shade of blue and started to perform CPR.
He released her mouth after forcing two breaths into her lungs, clasped both hands together and started to pump her chest for about sixty seconds. He pressed his ear to her mouth again, but still there was nothing. Xander started to panic, fear of losing someone who had become important to him and Jackson made him refuse to give up.
Jackson knelt beside them helplessly waiting for any signs of life from the beautiful woman, as Xander continued to work on her. And finally, Simone choked and sputtered out the water that was trapped in her lungs, gasping for breath.
“Oh, thank God!” Xander exclaimed, dropping his forehead to her heaving chest.
“Simone!” Jackson cried out as she came to.
“Are the dogs okay?” Simone’s voice rasped out in a whisper.
“Oh baby, they’re fine.” Xander said, rising up to look at her. “Sampson is a little torn up trying to defend the team, but otherwise fine.”
“Good.” Simone wheezed before passing out again.
“We need to get her to the hospital.” Jackson urged. The worry of losing her to drowning now transferred to losing her from hypothermia.
“There’s no time. The hospital is too far and we’re not that far from my lodge.” Xander reasoned. “But first we need to try to get her out of these clothes. Check her bag, to find another coat and pair pants. And grab some of the blankets, while I get her out of these wet clothes.” Xander instructed Jackson.
Xander worked at removing her wet outer clothing from her limp body, while Jackson riffled through her duffel bag to find something warm and dry. He grabbed her extra ski pants, the sweater she wore last night and a couple of blankets from all the sleds and ran back to Xander and Simone.
“I couldn’t find another coat and we didn’t bring any extras either, but I’ve got some blankets.” Jackson said as he knelt down on the other side of Simone.
They worked quickly to keep her bare skin from being exposed to the cold air for too long. They got her in her dry pants and wrapped her tightly in the blankets in place of a coat. Once she was completely covered from head to toe like a burrito, Jackson carried her to his sled and made a makeshift bed to lay her on in the front.
Xander attached her team of dogs and sled to the back of his sled as Jackson also quickly stripped out of his wet clothes, swapping them for dry ones.
Xander placed Sampson on Simone’s sled and securing him to it, since he was unable to walk because of the injuries he sustained from the fight with the wolf.
When they were ready, they took off at full speed knowing that they had very little time to get Simone to warm shelter before it was too late and to get the injured dog to the vet right away to tend to his wounds before he lost too much blood.
They made it to the lodge in record time. The instant the sleds came to a stop both men hopped off, Jackson grabbing Simone and Xander picking up Sampson. They both hurried into the lodge. The lodge staff was hanging out at the front desk when the men burst through the front door.
“Mike, I need to you to get Sampson to Dr. Bennett’s, he was attacked by a wolf. After that you can go home.” Xander ordered, as Jackson grabbed the master key and strode quickly to Simone’s suite.
“Are all the guests checked out?” Xander continued.
“Yes, sir.” They responded.
“Good. The rest of you should head home now, the storm that’s about it hit is gonna be brutal. Our new wave of guests are going to be delayed, so there is no reason for you to get stuck here for however long this blizzard is going to last.” Xander further instructed his staff.
He passed the injured dog to Mike and as the rest of the staff headed out Xander locked up the lodge and quickly made his way up to Simone’s suite to see how she was doing.
When he entered the room, Jackson had Simone laid on the bed still wrapped tightly while he stroked a blazing fire in the fireplace. They knew the key to warming her up was to slowly elevate her temperature. So Xander walked over to the bed, unwrapped her feet from the blankets and started to rub vigorously from her feet to up her calves to jump start the circulation. When Jack
son was finished with the fire, he also came over to start at her hands and arms.
“Let’s get her in front of the fire.” Jackson suggested.
“Yeah, good idea.” Xander agreed.
Jackson grabbed the blankets off the bed and made a pallet on the floor in front of the fire. Once done, Xander lifted her off the bed and laid her down on the pile of blankets. As her temperature started to slowly increase her body went from completely still to violent tremors.
“Okay, I think if we undress her and we strip down too and lay on either side of her it’ll help bring her temp back up to ours.” Jackson proposed.
Xander just nodded his agreement and they started to remove her clothing, not thinking of how beautiful they thought her thick body was. All they could think about was if she made it out of this okay. Once she was bare they continued to massage and rub warmth back into her body.
“Do you think we should’ve stripped her completely naked? Because when she wakes up she’s going to go ape shit on us.” Xander asked as they stripped down to only their boxer briefs.
“Hell, if she’s feeling good enough to rip us a new one, I’ll be the happiest man alive.” Jackson smiled grimly as they both laid next to her, pulling her in close to receive their much need body heat.
Slowly her body’s racking shivers subsided, the alarming blue of her lips started to fade and her lowered heart rate started to pick back up to normal. Both men realized that she was going to make it, and with the drop in adrenaline through their veins they snuggled in tighter to her, pulled one of the blankets over the three of them and passed out from exhaustion.
~~~
Simone felt like she was dying in the fires of hell from all of the heat surrounding her. Her eyes fluttered open and they took a moment to clear and focus. At first she saw a blazing fire and looking down she saw two heads lying on her chest. One with chestnut curls, the other shaggy blond. In the instant she realized it was Jackson and Xander, she also realized that she was completely and utterly naked. Holy shit! What happened and why am I naked in the middle of these two. What the…did they roofie me this time?!
Simone started to panic. But then the events of the day all rushed back to her; her anger with the men, the wolves chasing her sled team, and the rushing artic river. They must have saved me. Well…crap! How can I be mad at them after all that? Simone grudgingly looked down at the two sleeping men and a warm fondness enveloped her that one could only feel for someone that risked their own life to save yours. It’s just hero worship. Simone tried to convince herself of the feelings coursing through her.
She must have stirred a little because both men’s heads popped up and looked up at her at the same time. Two sets of eyes stared at her for a moment, steel gray and mossy green.
“Simone! You’re awake!” Xander exclaimed.
Jackson said nothing, but with lightning speed he went from staring at her one moment and his lips were on hers the next, in a desperate kiss.
“You’re okay.” Jackson breathed against her lips, when he finally released them.
Simone’s heart pounded, not sure of how she was supposed to react to the kiss.
“Yes.” She whispered back.
“How are you feeling?” Xander asked in concern.
“Hot.” Simone said shyly.
At the same time they all became exceedingly aware that she was completely naked in between their mostly naked bodies. Apparently they were all hot in more ways than one.
“Simone.” Xander said softly, placing an index finger under her chin and turning her face to his. “May I?” He asked.
Simone could do nothing but nod her head, since it seemed she had suddenly lost her ability to speak.
Xander gently placed his lips to hers. He gave her soft pecks, easing her into the kiss.
“Is this okay?” Xander asked, afraid to scare her off again.
“Y…yes.” Simone stuttered out nervously, as Xander placed his lips to hers again, but this time deepening the kiss.
Oh God, this is it. This is about to happen. I’m going to lose my virginity to two men. Oh God…oh God! I never thought I’d lose it to one!
Simone’s mind went wild, but she knew that it was inevitable. After the orgasm she’d had last night, finally feeling what all the fuss was about, she couldn’t turn back. Her body craved more of that amazing sensation. And she realized now that she had been trying to hold on to her anger at the men to keep from admitting what she was really feeling. What she really wanted.
“Stop, Simone. You’re over-analyzing everything. Just enjoy it.” Xander said pulling back to look her in the eyes.
“Sorry.” Simone said, taking a deep breath trying to calm her nerves. “I…I’ve never had…s…sex before.” Simone confessed, closing her eyes not wanting to see the look on the men’s faces at her admission.
“We know. We’ll take it slow.” Jackson said nuzzling her neck.
“How-” Simone turned to look at him in surprise and he claimed her lips in a searing kiss.
Xander took that opportunity to pull back the blanket, exposing her upturned plump breasts tipped with brown quarter-sized areolas. He stroked a finger down her neck, past her collar bone to the slope of her right breast. He caressed the tip making her nipple pucker as she moaned, and his mouth watered to taste her skin.
Leaning down, Xander flicked his tongue against the stiffened peak and she gasped into Jackson’s mouth. Jackson stroked her tongue practically in time to gentle laps that Xander gave her sensitive nipple. Of their own volition, Simone’s hips moved restlessly, seeking something that she didn’t understand.
Xander saw her hips pumping, in search of relief. So obliging her needs, he slowly and softly slid his hand down her curving tummy under the covers to the thatch of hair at the apex of her thick thighs. Easing the way, letting her know what his intentions were. Her hips stopped and tensed in anticipation of what was too come.
Stroking over her damp curls, wet with her arousal, he sought out the sensitive nub nestled underneath. Xander caressed her clit with the barest of touches and Simone cried out, releasing Jackson’s lips and throwing her head back in ecstasy.
With Simone distracted by the sensations Xander was inflicting on her clit, Jackson joined him at her breasts, making a meal of her left nipple.
Simone was overwhelmed with the passion the two men were stirring in her. She looked down at their two heads as they licked, sucked and nibbled at her stiff nipples. She felt Xander’s fingers dance across her clit, only to retreat and dip into her tight vagina. Her hips shook in response.
“Ahh…please, please, please!” Simone begged.
“What, Simone? What do you want?” Jackson asked her, as they both looked up at her.
“I…I don’t know!” Simone cried, confused by all the feelings that were coursing through her.
“Let us show you.” Xander said, kissing the side of her breast.
“O…okay.” Simone said shyly.
Jackson pulled back the blanket, completely exposing her naked body. Simone’s instincts made her immediately try to cover herself with her hands and arms.
“Don’t hide from us. Your body is beautiful.” Jackson said, gently brushing her arms away.
“No it’s not.” Simone argued, turning beet red with embarrassment.
“How can you tell us what we find beautiful? I think we know our own minds.” Xander scolded her.
“Because I know what my body looks like. I’ve looked at it in the mirror for twenty-nine years.” Simone argued.
“Simone, your body is made for what we’re about to do to it. Maybe it’s because you’re still a virgin that you can’t see the appeal you have to us.” Jackson explained.
“We can show you just how much you appeal to us.” Xander said sitting up to kneel next to her.
Jackson followed suit on her left side. Both men were only in boxer briefs and their manhoods strained against the material. In all her years of study for nursing Simone had nev
er seen an erect penis up close and now she was about to see and feel two. Simone held her breath as both men clasped the waistband of their underwear and slowly pulled them down, revealing their erections, as they sprang free of their confinements.
Simone nearly passed out at the sight of both monstrous appendages. Jackson’s was nearly as thick as his wrist, and if she had to guess, about seven to eight inches long. And Xander’s was thick but not quite as thick as Jackson’s, but a bit longer by an inch or so and had a slight upward curve. Sweet Mary Mother, I’m never going to survive all that!
“Now, does it look like we find you unattractive?” Xander asked looking down at her.
Since words had completely escaped Simone, she just quickly shook her head.
“That’s what I thought.” Xander responded.
Jackson laid back down beside her, seeking her lips for another searing kiss. Pulling back a little, he rested his forehead against hers, his breath harsh and fanning her lips.
“Touch me, Simone.” He breathed out.
Simone knew exactly what he was talking about, but too nervous to touch him ‘there’ right away, she placed her hand on his burly chest. The springy dark hair that covered his massive chest and ran down his rock hard abdomen to his equally hard member, Simone could only describe as blatantly manly.
Simone brushed her fingers over his defined pecs and the flat disks of his nipples and he hissed in response. Her hand eased down his stomach, going over each rise and valley of his abs. Once she got to the bottom of his abs, only inches away from his intimidating hardness, she hesitated.
“It won’t bite you.” Jackson chuckled
His chuckle quickly died in his throat when she finally reached down to grasp him tightly.
“Ahh…gently. Gently. I don’t want to finish before we’ve even gotten started.” Jackson gasped at Simone’s touch. “Here, like this.”
