PARANORMAL ROMANCE: Bear Naked Satisfaction (Fantasy Shapeshifter Alpha Male Romance Book 3) (Contemporary New Adult Billionaire Steamy Romance Short Stories)

by Audrey Storm

  Serena stood up and walked to the fridge for no particular reason.

  “I’m sorry. I made you uncomfortable,” Jake said as she grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge.

  “It’s fine.”

  She opened the bottle and took a long sip of her water as he walked up to where she was. She took another sip and he stood in front of her.

  “No, it’s not fine,” he said in a whisper. “I shouldn’t be encouraging this even though I can’t really help it.”

  “We are both wrong, Jake,” she said as she replaced the bottle top. “And I really hate that I feel like I need you so much,” she added in a whisper.

  He put his hands on either side of her waist and looked down at her.

  “I don’t think there is any problem with you needing me.” He took another step closer to her and he was suddenly so close, too close she could feel his warm breath on her own skin. “Because I need you too.”

  “Jake,” she said as she tried pushing him away but he was gently pulling her towards him. He slowly brought his head down and kissed her softly. She had never really been kissed by anyone else. Hell, no other boy had ever paid her this much attention. She had always been the chubby girl around school that most people preferred making fun of. And now Jake, her older much more attractive stepbrother was looking at her like she was the only girl in the world. She never got it. He was in med school for Pete’s sake and she knew for a fact that there were hot college girls hot for him all over campus.

  “Now tell me,” Jake said when he pulled away. “How can something that feels so right be so wrong?”

  She wanted to answer him but she just didn’t have the right words. All she could think of was just how right he was. She had thought of the same thing over and over again so many times before. He pulled herself away from him and began walking out of the kitchen. She was not very sure where she was going but all she cared about was that she could not be in the same room with him at that moment.

  “I’ve left a note with the name of an iron supplement for Lena,” Jake said when she got to the door. She stopped and looked at him over her shoulder. “Do me a favor and make sure she gets it, okay?”

  Serena nodded and walked out of the kitchen feeling her cheeks flushing. She hated how weak she was around him. It was almost like she had no will power at all when she was around Jake. Like he had some kind of spell over her. In her head, she had been walking as fast as her legs to carry her but when Jake caught up with her after just a few seconds, she realized that she had not been as fast as she had initially hoped for. She gasped silently when she felt his hand around her wrist. She turned around to look into his eyes and sighed into his mouth when he lowered his head to kiss her once more. She wanted to pull away, more than anything she wanted to pull away but somehow it seemed impossible. By the time he pulled away from her, she was weak in her knees.

  “Jake, I told you,” she started as she looked at him. “This can’t happen. It’s unfair to both of us.”

  “I asked you this again. What could be so wrong about this?” he pulled her to himself and she gasped. She was now panting. She did have strong feelings for him. She did want to be his and only his. And as she stood there in front of him, all those nights they had spent together kissing and holding came flooding back. She never felt like she was making any mistake when she was in his arms and maybe that was because there was nothing wrong as far as what she felt for him was concerned.

  “Nothing,” she said in a whisper as she held his cheek. “Absolutely nothing.”

  “You have no idea how long I have waited to hear you say that,” Jake whispered before he kissed her again as he slowly backed her up against the wall. He pulled away and looked down at her for a long minute before he took her hand in his and began leading her down the hall. She knew where he was taking her and she didn’t hold back. There was no reason to. He looked at her when they got to the door leading to his room and smiled before he opened the door and walked in with her following close behind.

  Chapter 3

  Jake

  Once they were in his room, he locked the door behind him before he once again held her. He could feel the tension in Serena’s body as he stood next to her. Maybe it was because he knew that she knew what he had in mind. He gently caressed her soft curls and kissed her again. This time his kiss was deep and searching. She could feel the urgency as he pressed his body against hers and by the way his tongue was seeking hers out. When she finally pulled away, she looked at him and took a step back before she pulled her long t-shirt over her head.

  “Serena…” he started as he looked at her. “I don’t want to make you feel any kind of pressure just because I brought you in here,” he said and she shook her head.

  “There is no pressure at all, Jake” She put her hand on his chest. “This is what I want and I want this with you.”

  Serena began pulling his shirt over his head.

  “Are you sure?” he asked when she dropped the t-shirt to the floor.

  “I’ve never been surer of anything in my life,” she said in a whisper.

  “But Lena,” he said and she smiled.

  “You said it yourself. She will be out of it for a while,” she said in a whisper. He looked into her eyes before he leaned forward and kissed her cheek and then her chin. He was slowly working his way lower and lower on her body and she had her eyes closed obviously in anticipation of him going even lower. But he never did. He heard her moan softly as he began trailing his kisses up her shoulder before he walked round her body to stand behind her. He secured an arm around her waist and kissed her shoulder softly before he kissed her neck making her instinctively roll her head to the side. She had her lower lip between her teeth and her breathing was not what it had been a few minutes ago. He then held her waist before he began tracing his kisses down her spine. This time, she didn’t hold back. Her moan was no longer a low whispered sound but a soft and breathy one that turned him on even more than he already was. When he got to her waist, he pulled down her tights before he once again worked his way up her back, gently caressing her thighs as he did. She stepped out of her tights when he walked round and stood in front of her. He slipped an arm around her and pulled her close to him before he lowered his head for his lips to meet hers. She sighed silently when she felt him undo the clasp of her bra letting her full breasts fall free.

  Jake looked down at Serena’s breasts and felt his cock twitch in response. He gently pushed her down on the bed and looked down at her before he got lower and kissed her neck. He was slowly getting closer and closer to her breasts and even though he had seen her naked tits before, something felt different about that particular day. He heard her moan softly when he suddenly took her right nipple into his mouth. She moaned softly as he sucked on her nipple, her other breast getting equal attention from his flicking fingertips. He loved the way her nipples pressed hard against his hand and tongue, almost as if she was begging for him to suck her harder and knead her mounds. He pulled away from her nipple and took in the other one. She held on to the bedding as he circled his tongue around her nipple. What she was feeling at that moment, it could only be described as heaven.

  By the time Jake finally pulled away from her breasts, she was panting and arching her back. He ran his hands down the sides of her body and she looked at him when she felt his fingers slip into the fabric of her panties. This was it. They had never taken it this far before. She had always kept her panties on; but this time round, she didn’t want to hold back. She raised her hips from the bed allowing him to pull her panties down exposing herself to him fully. He knew that she felt a little strange being completely naked while he still had his pants on. But he knew this was her first time and he had been down this road before. He knew that he had to make this as easy for her as he possibly could. He knelt in between her legs, his hands slowly running up and down her bare thighs causing her skin to break out in goosebumps. He then lowered his head and began kissing her soft inside thigh.
She was moaning softly as he kissed her and ran his tongue along the surface of her skin. It was almost electrifying and he knew what he was doing to her. He could smell her intoxicating scent…it only made him want her more. He moved his lips lower and lower until his lips claimed her already wet pussy. She moaned softly and arched her back as he kissed her lower lips gently. He knew that she had never had anyone down there and what he was doing to her, it was almost too much for her to take. He could tell by the way her juices were releasing into his mouth. She was squirming on the bed sighing and gasping making soft noised that made his cock harder and thicker.

  “Oh…” he heard her mutter when he pushed his tongue into her depths tasting her saltiness.

  He pulled away and raised his head to look at her. She was breathing hard and heavy and he knew that it was time. He reached into his back pocket and pulled out his wallet before he took off his pants. He then pulled out a condom from the wallet and looked down at her as he rolled on the latex onto his girth. From the girls he had been with in college, he knew that he was not exactly small. He gently ran his finger along her slit and was pleased to find that she was still wet, drenched actually. He looked at her and got his body on hers before he kissed her softly.

  “Jake…” she started when he pulled away and he smiled.

  “I know,” he said in a soft voice as he positioned himself at her entry. She moaned and buried her head in his shoulder as he worked more of himself into her. A whimper escaped her lips and he pulled out of her. “I’m sorry but this is going to feel weird…but it will only hurt for a moment,” he said in a whisper before he began working himself into her once again. He felt guilty when she gasped as he felt himself moving past her barrier taking her innocence as he did.

  “That’s it,” he moaned softly. “That’s it.” He was slowly moving himself in and out of her, making her moan softly. She had slowly graduated from moans to groans and was now back to moaning softly. She held him tightly and spread herself wider as he worked his cock in and out of her. He was actually amazed at how deep he was able to go considering it was her first time. She suddenly let out a gasp and let go of his shoulders before she grabbed fistfuls of the bedding. There was a sudden tightness in her pussy that he just couldn’t fathom and almost immediately, he found that he could no longer keep his girth inside her. She began moaning loudly and he quickly realized what was going to happen. He kissed her and she moaned into his mouth as she climaxed.

  It seemed like forever before her body finally stopped pulsating. Jake pulled his mouth from hers and looked down at an exhausted Serena.

  “What…what the hell was that?” she asked in a whisper and he smiled.

  “You just had your first orgasm.” Jake said smiling down at her.

  “What… but I thought…” She shook her head as he lay next to her. “What about you? Aren’t you supposed to be in there when it happens?” she asked and he struggled not to laugh.

  “Not necessarily,” he said. He was trying as hard as he could to keep calm even though all he could think of was going back inside her and just taking her for the ride of her life. “I’ll have my chance,” he added in a low whisper as he stretched out his arm allowing her to move close to him. He held her close and gently kissed her forehead. “But next time, I’ll have to be careful.”

  She looked up at him and he gently caressed the side of her face.

  “What do you mean?” she asked.

  “You are a loud one,” he said laughing.

  Serena. Present day.

  As Serena looked into the mirror on Thursday morning, she could have sworn she could see her heart beating. She had been trying clothes for almost half an hour and nothing seemed right. She had always been comfortable in her body being a curvy African American woman working in a county where almost every woman had a perfect bikini body. When she moved out to Calabasas, she had gone down from a size eighteen to a sixteen and even though she would have wanted to go down to a fourteen, it seemed that the universe wanted her to remain a sixteen. And she had made her peace with that, going as far as eating healthy and keeping her gym membership just so she could maintain that flat tummy she took so much pride in. But even though she had grown to accept her body and was normally so comfortable in anything she pulled from her closet, on this particular day, nothing felt right. She had just tried on her sixth outfit and by now, she just wanted to scream. It was not that she was nervous about seeing Jake again for the first time in almost a decade but also the fact that she was this uneasy.

  She pulled out a black and white floral wrap around dress and put it on. She loved that dress and if nothing else worked, she knew that this one would. She carefully put on her makeup, not too much but just enough to make her big brown eyes and pouty lips pop. She unclipped her straightened hair and let it fall free on her shoulders before she put on her earrings. She had just put on her black suede block heels when she heard her phone alarm go off. She sighed. It was seven thirty. If she was not out of her place in the next ten minutes, there was no way she was going to be on time. Not if she was going to do the usual coffee run.

  “The coffee,” she thought as she walked out of the bedroom to the living room. She remembered that he had always liked his coffee black.

  “Like I love my women,” Jake would joke when he poured his coffee back when they were still in Seattle.

  Serena grabbed her handbag and her keys before she walked out of her apartment. She could still feel her heart racing as she made her way out of her office building. When she got into her jeep, she took a few seconds to take a few long deep breaths. She had to control herself. She needed to control herself. Jake might have been someone she had strong feelings for at some point in time, but everything had changed. He was now just another man, her new boss.

  “I got over it. I got over it…it’s been nine years,” she thought to herself as she secured her seatbelt. “So he left and became some big shot doctor. And I became an executive secretary.”

  She rolled her eyes as she pulled on to the street. The usually half-hour drive to the Starbucks near her office building seemed so much shorter than usual.

  “Hey Serena,” the barista, Tommy said when he saw her. “The usual?”

  Serena shook her head.

  “One strong black, one white hot chocolate and a chai tea latte,” she said. “Throw in four bagels in that order too.”

  “So, we are changing our favorites now?” Tommy asked as he prepared her order.

  “New boss and the other person is supposed to be cutting back on caffeine,” Serna said smiling.

  “So you thought you would get him hooked on hot chocolate?” he asked again and she nodded.

  “It’s either that or green tea.”

  The man behind the counter nodded and then laughed. Serena stood aside and reached for her phone in her purse. She intended to check out the paper but somehow she found herself searching Jake.

  “Clearly his taste in women changed drastically,” she thought as she looked at his Facebook photos. In all the parties he had been photographed in, he did not once have a black woman on his arm. They were all skinny blondes and one brunette.

  “Serena Foster!” Tommy called out loudly even though she was right there.

  “Why do you always do that?” she asked smiling as she took the coffee and bagels from him.

  “I get to yell at people in my job. There is no way I am giving that up for anything,” he said and she smiled.

  “Bye Tommy,” she said as she turned around and walked out of the coffee shop. She got into her car and drove the extra block before she pulled up in front of her office building. She took a long deep breath and grabbed the coffee, bagels and her purse before she climbed out of the car.

  “Whoa, there Foster,” Randy said when she walked into the building. “Special occasion?”

  Serena shook her head.

  “I don’t know what you are talking about.”

  “You look hot!!” Randy said and she s
miled at him.

  “Thank you very much,” she said in a mock Elvis voice. “This is for you.”

  Randy frowned.

  “What the hell is this?” he asked.

  “White hot chocolate,” she answered as she waited for the elevator doors to open.

  “But my coffee…” he started before she handed him a bagel.

  “No, you are supposed to be cutting back on caffeine, remember? Doctor’s orders,” she said.

  Randy looked at the bagel and shrugged.

  “At least you brought me a bagel,” he said. The insincere gratitude was almost too loud.

  “Well, you know I couldn’t just get you cold turkey all of a sudden, right? I do have a heart,” she said as the elevator doors opened in front of her.

  “You are too good to me,” Randy said with a smile.

  “Well, I have to be good to someone right?”

  As soon as the elevator doors closed, Serena’s smile slowly faded. The moment she had been dreading for the last couple of days was finally here. She was going to have to face the one person she had sworn to herself she would never have to see again. She could almost hear her heart threatening to beat out of her chest. When she got to the office, she put her purse and coffee on her desk before she carried the strong black coffee and one bagel to what used to be Dr. Strauss’ office. She knocked softly on the door and took a long deep breath.

  “Come in,” she heard Jake’s familiar voice say.

  “Good morning sir. I brought your coffee,” she said as she walked into the office.

  “Good morning. I hope it’s black,” he said without looking up.

  “It is,” Serena said in a soft voice.

  “Good. That’s just how I like it.” He was still looking down at a file on his desk.

  “I know,” Serena said and he looked up. He had a smile on his face at first but it slowly faded when he saw her. “Just like you like your women, right?”
