She starts bucking on the bed, arching her back and gripping onto the sheets as she whimpers and cries out for more.
Her cunt is so ripe and fresh that it trickles out an endless supply of warm juices that I can’t get enough of. This pussy was made for breeding and it has my name written all over it.
My cub will be growing in her womb by the end of the night. I’ll make sure of that.
I slide my tongue up and down her wet slit and her body shudders as she lets out a moan. The nervousness she had before is gone. The need and desire have overtaken her shyness. Her legs are spread out far apart and she’s rolling her hips against my mouth, loving how my lips and tongue feel on her softness.
I suck on her clit as I part her wet folds with my finger. I trace her tight little hole with my fingertip and her body stiffens when I start to press it inside to see how virgin tight she is.
My bear starts to lose it. He’s like a wild animal with the way he’s pacing around inside, furious that I’m taking so long to mark her.
I feel him rush to the surface and I have to yank my head back and grit my teeth to stop him from breaking through.
That’s just what my mate needs for her first time, to be making love to her man and have a twelve hundred pound grizzly bear explode out of him.
“What is it?” Zoe asks as she sits up with a worried look on her face.
My whole body is straining as I force him back down.
All right, you fucker. I’ll do it now.
He slinks back down with a huff and continues pacing with a watchful eye.
“Nothing, sweet cheeks,” I say as I stand up with my hard cock in my hand. “Just lie back down and let your mate take care of you.”
She already seems to trust me completely because she lies back down on the bed, watching with a serene look on her face as I climb over her.
I drag the tip of my cock up her wet slit and she shivers as her eyes fall closed.
My bear makes another sudden charge for the surface and my whole body starts to swell. I’m on the verge of a phase and if I’m not careful, he’s going to tear through.
Shit. I look at my arms and they’ve grown almost double in size. My chest is swelling up and I can feel my teeth growing into sharp canines. They ache and burn as they extend out of my mouth.
Zoe’s eyes widen in panic when she opens them and sees me.
I hate that she’s seeing me like this. Like I’m some kind of monster.
But the look of fear never comes.
“What’s going on?” she asks with a look of concern on her face.
“My bear…” Fuck, my voice is coming out like a growl. He’s so close to the surface. It’s taking everything I have to hold him back. “…he’s trying to get out. He wants me to mark you.”
“So do it,” she says with a determined look. She thrusts her chin in the air, showing me the soft skin on her exposed neck.
My bear starts salivating at the sight. He desperately wants his mark on her now and I’m struggling to control him.
The head of my cock is pressed up against her virgin tight hole and with a grunt I thrust in deep, tearing through her hymen and sliding all the way inside as she grips my swollen arms and screams out.
Her warm tight pussy is strangling my cock and while she’s distracted with the intense feeling, I lick her neck and then sink my teeth in.
My mate’s face winces in pain and she lets out a high-pitched whimper as I mark her as my territory. I slide my canines back out and lick up the blood that oozes out of the wound. It will heal fast and then every man and shifter she passes will know that she belongs to Cash Ridge. If anyone dares to touch her, bother her, or even look at her, they’ll have to deal with my protective grizzly who doesn’t respond well to men touching what’s his.
Finally, my bear is satisfied and he retreats back inside. My body shrinks back down and my teeth retract to their human form as Zoe’s eyes water.
“I’m sorry,” I whisper to her, hating that I caused her any discomfort, let alone pain. But it had to be done. I couldn’t let this ripe girl walk around without having my mark on her.
“It hurt, but it felt good,” she whispers back. Her hand slides through my hair and she’s looking at me with a look of pure love on her face. “It feels like I’m complete now. Like the last missing puzzle piece just slid into place.”
“I love you,” I say. They’re the only words that feel right.
She smiles as she pulls my head down for a kiss. I kiss her softly on the lips and she’s still smiling when I pull away. “I love you too. My mate.”
The tight death grip her pussy has on my cock starts to loosen a little as she gets used to my size. I slowly pull my cock out one agonizing inch at a time, and she clings onto me right as I’m about to leave her.
I stop when the tip is about to fall out and then I slowly slide back into her juicy cunt.
“You’ll feel totally complete once I cum inside this ripe pussy,” I tell her. “I’m about to breed you, sweet cheeks, and once my cub is growing in your womb, everything will be just right.”
She clings onto me tighter. “Yes,” she whispers in my ear. “Cum in me. I want to feel it.”
My pace builds up and up until I’m thrusting in her with long hard strokes that have her clawing at my skin.
A beautiful glistening sheen of sweat begins to cover her body and I lick the salt from her neck, loving the taste of her.
It fills me with pride knowing she’s mine. That my mark is on her neck. That my seed will soon be growing in her womb.
“You like having your mate’s hard cock stuffing you, sweet cheeks?”
“Oh, Cash,” she moans. “How can it feel so good?”
I grin as I fuck her harder, making the headboard slam into the wall with each powerful thrust. The tight squeeze of her pussy wrapped around my dick is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever felt. There’s no way I’m letting this sweet thing go now. She’s staying with me and we’re going to do this every single day until the last day.
Her chest starts to heave up and down and I can tell she’s close to cumming. “Yes,” I moan as I ramp up the pace. “Cum for me, Zoe. Make that tight little virgin pussy cum on your mate’s cock.”
Her mouth rips open and a loud cry explodes out of her ripe body as she cums for me. I feel her pussy tighten even more around my cock and I come undone with her.
My balls clench and I let out a savage roar as hot surges of cum shoot out of me and into her.
The warm waves of pleasure flow through me, calming me for the first time since I smelled her. My bear finally feels at peace and my chaotic insides finally feel serene and tranquil as the last drops of my cum empty into her waiting womb.
I drop my head onto her chest, breathing as if I was a human who just ran a marathon. Her arms wrap around me and she holds me tightly like she’s afraid to let me go.
It’s perfect.
Everything is perfect.
I want it to stay like this forever, but in the back of my mind, I know we have some unfinished business to take care of.
Her brother won’t allow us to keep this happiness if he can help it.
But if he tries, he’s going to find out just how protective and possessive a grizzly bear shifter can be.
And just how deadly a Ridge brother can get.
Chapter Eight
Zoe
I can still hear Cash lightly snoring as I slip outside in the morning and sit on the porch. I have a hot cup of coffee in my hand and a warm blanket draped over my shoulders.
The ranch is quiet and calm this morning and I feel a sense of peacefulness that I haven’t felt in ages.
Last night was the best night of my life. It was truly incredible and I still can’t get over it.
An eagle cuts through the pink sky and I look up and smile as I see the sun starting to rise over the spectacular mountains at the edges of the ranch. It’s casting breathtaking pinks, purples, oranges, and reds across th
e vast sky.
I take a sip of coffee and wonder if this could be it for me. Is this the life I’m destined to lead? Is Cash the one I’m meant to be with?
I hear footsteps behind me and I smile when he bends down and wraps his big comforting arms around me.
The answers to all of my questions come to me as I’m filled with a sense of love.
Yes.
Yes to it all.
I belong here with Cash. Forever.
I don’t know what the future has in store for us, but what I do know is that I would love to wake up like this every day.
“Did you sleep well?” he asks after he kisses the top of my head.
I place my hand on his tattooed forearm that’s holding me tight and smile. “I did.”
“My snoring didn’t bother you?”
I shake my head. “You tired me out pretty good. I passed out after.”
“All part of my plan. I’ll have to tire you out like that every night.”
I won’t say no to that.
He kisses the top of my head again and then lets me go. I immediately feel a sense of loss as he stands up. It’s crazy how quickly I’ve gotten obsessed with him.
“I’m going to get some coffee,” he says as he turns back to the door. “Want a refill?”
I look at him, admiring how sexy he is all shirtless with only a pair of pajama pants on. I wonder if staring at his hard physique will ever get old. Probably not.
“I’m good, thanks.”
He hesitates for a moment, just staring at me and then he leaves with a smile.
This is too perfect.
My stomach suddenly drops when I come crashing back to reality. This isn’t going to last.
Killian is going to ruin it like he always does.
He can’t help it. That’s who he is. He ruins everything.
Growing up with him was so hard.
The other kids were afraid of my family when I lived out here. I never got invited to any of the other kids’ houses and they always had a million excuses when I invited them over to play.
His lion always had the best of him, even as a child.
I remember having to go back to my elementary school after he beat up the principal. Killian broke Principal Ellis’ nose and two of his ribs when he was only ten years old.
The kids and teachers all kept their distance from me after that. It was hard.
It wasn’t long after that incident when mom took me away to Seattle.
Cash comes back out with a coffee and sits down beside me. I lean against him, smiling at how warm and familiar he already feels.
“What are you thinking about?” he asks as he takes a sip of his coffee.
“Things.”
“What sorts of things?”
“I’m just realizing how much I like it out here. I guess I have mountain blood in me after all.”
He chuckles as he looks at me funny. “Mountain blood?”
I smile and then rest my head on his shoulder. “Do you really want me to stay?”
His body tightens and at first I’m worried that he’s changed his mind, but then I realize it’s because he’s afraid that I’m going to leave.
“You have to stay, Zoe. Our souls will wither up and die if we’re not together.”
I laugh, but he’s not laughing. “Isn’t that a little dramatic?”
He shakes his head, looking very serious. “It’s not. You’re just going to have to trust me. Do you trust me?”
I nod as I look into his dark eyes. “I trust you.”
“Then stay with me.”
I swallow hard and find myself nodding. How does he keep doing that to me? “Okay. I’ll stay.”
He gives me a deep passionate kiss that tells me immediately that I’ve made the right decision.
Unfortunately, the rumbling sound of motorcycles interrupts it.
He hears it before I do.
“Oh fuck,” he grunts under his breath right before I start hearing them.
I look at the road in the distance with a gasp and sure enough, there’s a traveling cloud of dust rising above the trees.
“He’ll never leave me alone,” I say as I feel my face pale.
Killian will never let me keep this shred of happiness. He’ll poison it. He’ll kill it. It’s what he does.
He can’t help it.
“Things are different now,” Cash says as he puts a protective arm around me. “You’re my territory to protect. He won’t bother you again.”
I shake my head in disbelief.
“He will,” I whisper under my breath as five motorcycles come rumbling onto the ranch. Killian is at the head as usual with his four thug friends behind him. There’s an eye patch covering his left eye and he looks more pissed off than ever.
Cash takes my chin in his hand and gently turns me until I’m looking into his eyes. They’re full of confidence and rugged determination.
“He won’t. This is what mates are for. I’ll end it.”
Tears start to fill my eyes as I look at the man I love.
“I’ll end it now.”
He kisses me softly on the lips and then walks down the steps to face the lions.
Chapter Nine
Zoe
My first instinct when I see Killian so angry like this is to turn and run. But I don’t. Not this time.
I push back the fear that’s making my heart race and my stomach harden, and jump up. I run down the steps and pass Cash as he makes his way over to the five evil shifters approaching.
“Zoe!” he says with a gasp as he tries to grab my arm. I duck out of the way, ignoring his cry as I run right up to my brother.
He’s so big and terrifying, but it’s time to not be afraid anymore. It’s time to face him. It’s time to confront the bully once and for all.
My hands are trembling as he stares down at me with hatred in his golden eye. The eyepatch makes him look even scarier, and the fresh scars leading up to it makes him look like a monster.
“Take the ranch,” I say to him with my voice racing. “You can have it. Just leave now and we’ll be even.”
His mouth curls up into a snarl. “He took my eye,” he hisses. “We’ll be even when he’s dead and then we’ll figure out what to do with you.”
Cash catches up to me and grabs me by the shoulders. He pulls me behind him and stands between us like he’s my sworn protector.
“You’re not touching her!” he snaps back in an animalistic tone that’s half growl. “Ever. Again.”
Killian’s four goons step up beside him and my stomach drops when I see how outnumbered Cash is. He doesn’t look afraid though. He looks like he’s itching for a fight.
His body starts to swell and I can tell that his bear is hovering close to the surface. He looks just how he looked last night right as he marked my neck.
The five lion shifters start to swell up as well. Killian grows in size and his golden eyes turn bright and vicious as he stares my mate down.
“Just leave!” I scream at him. “For once in your life do what’s right for your sister, Killian.”
“You’re not my sister,” he hisses back. “You stopped being my sister when you mated with a Ridge brother. Now you’re just some common whore who’s going to get what’s coming to—”
The words vanish from his throat as Cash grabs him by the neck and slams him into the ground. Iker and Jace jump on him as Killian starts to phase under Cash’s grip. The other goons, Alex and Knox, quickly phase into their lions and join in the fight.
Cash is surrounded and I can barely see what’s going on in the commotion. They’re all over my mate, but I start to see hope when a lion, then a man, go flying off the pile. Iker has Cash from behind with his arm wrapped around his neck, but Cash is still fighting. He punches Jace in the jaw and kicks the other lion away.
Soon, the sound of the fighting gets the attention of Damon and Everett and they come running out of the forest. I’ve never been so relieved to see someone in
my whole life.
They sprint over to join the fight and when they get halfway, their bodies start to shake. They phase mid-stride into their grizzly bears and run even faster as they come to help out their brother.
Iker and Jace phase into their lions and run over to fight Everett, while Alex and Knox’s lions intercept Damon’s grizzly.
It’s just Cash and Killian left.
My heart is pounding and I can hardly breathe as I watch Cash phase into his grizzly bear. His bear is smaller than his brothers’ grizzlies, but he’s fighting even more ferociously because he’s fighting for his mate.
He’s fighting for me.
His bear lets out a savage roar as my brother’s scrappy one-eyed lion circles him. Killian’s golden mane is long and flowing. His body and face are covered in hundreds of scars from all of the fights he’s been in over the years.
The grizzly attacks first and I gasp when the lion swipes his face, drawing blood. This just angers Cash’s bear even more and he slams into him, using his tremendous weight to offset the lion’s speed.
They’re fighting so fast and are a vicious blur of gold and brown. I look over at Cash’s brothers and they have their hands full with two lions each.
I want to do something. I have to help.
I rush back to the porch and look around for a weapon of some sort. I pick up a shoe and then shake my head.
A shoe, Zoe?!? He’s a fucking lion!
I toss the shoe and gasp when I see a hammer leaning against the siding. Yes! I grab it and race back down to the fight.
Killian’s lion is limping as blood leaks down from a deep cut on his hind leg. But Cash’s bear is looking just as hurt. He’s got a steady stream of blood pouring out of a nasty cut on his snout and he’s got another deep gash on his ribs that’s dripping blood onto the dirt.
“Leave him alone, Killian!” I scream as I hold the hammer in the air. The poor bear is only in this fight because of me and I don’t want to see him get any more hurt than he already is.
Killian’s lion lowers his head and snarls at me. The tiny hairs on my arm raise as he turns his attention away from the bear and focuses on me.
