“What the hell, man? I didn’t know she was taken,” the shifter in front of him lied. Of course he knew she was taken. He could smell him all over her and he still made a move on his woman. What the fuck was his problem?
“I’d like to take this conversation in private, but just leave,” Ryan forced himself to say before he launched himself on the stranger again for flirting with Celine, who, apparently, was oblivious to it all. She was human after all and couldn’t sense the pheromones coming from the shifter. He buried his nose in her hair, taking in her mint flavored shampoo and allowing her closeness, especially how moist her sex was, to help him cool off.
“I’m not afraid of you,” he smirked as if he knew something Ryan didn’t.
“I said get out!” Ryan roared.
Security got the hint before the shifter did and appeared out of nowhere to escort him out.
“You didn’t have to treat him like that, Ryan. I can take care of myself,” she laughed with less confidence than she wanted to show.
He was still holding her. “Yeah, I did. He was all over you, and you’re mine. I don’t like to share.”
She pushed him away, but he didn’t even budge. “Since when am I yours? I don’t recall having this conversation. Let go of me, you’re suffocating me!”
He complied, but that didn’t mean he was letting her go.“Thank you for your present. It’s going to be the most cherished object in my office now. How are you feeling, baby?” he said, brushing her right cheek.
“You’re welcome. I’m better. I’m heading to the concert with some friends and then home.”
“Are you sure you’re up to it? Have you had dinner yet?” It was late for dinner, but she looked so pale that he had to ask.
“Yeah, I grabbed a sandwich. I’m good. Anyway, I’m off. They’re waiting for me.” She turned around with the clear intention of leaving, but Ryan grabbed her arm.
“Can I meet your friends?”
Silence. He wanted to meet her friends now. Tony couldn’t stop talking about him and now her other friends were going to ask questions about him. Shit! She didn’t know how to say no, so she only nodded, hoping it wouldn’t be awkward.
As soon as they got to the car, Celine introduced him to Jack, the driver, and to the other girls in the car.
“Hi Jack, I’m Celine’s boyfriend,” Ryan said as he snaked one hand around her waist and the other he held out to shake Jack’s.
“Wow, you move fast, man! Congrats!” a wide-eyed Jack mumbled. The rest of the group was surprised by Ryan’s admission too, but it was nothing compared with how stunned Celine was.
“Listen, do you mind if I steal her for a little while? I just want to make sure she eats something. She isn’t feeling that well,” Ryan asked, but the words didn’t even hit Celine’s ears. He has introduced himself as her boyfriend. That meant what? That he was serious about their new relationship? She had to clarify that before she got in too deep. It sounded like a joke. He was absolutely stunning and he cooked for her, after all! What wasn’t there to fall in love with?
The car was no longer there when she realized he was asking her about food.
“Sorry, what?” she tried.
“Let’s have dinner, sugar.”
“Don’t worry, I don’t want to eat. My body has food in storage for the next ten years anyway,” she joked when in fact just the thought of food made her nauseous.
“I’m sorry, what did you say?”
“I said….” She didn’t get a chance to repeat anything because Ryan cupped her cheeks, groaned and fused their lips together in less than an instant, forcing her to return the scorching kiss. She parted her lips, allowing him to engulf her in the storm he created with his intimidating presence. She had never been kissed like this. Like he had something to prove to her. He tasted like ginger. It was so refreshing. As refreshing as his arrival in her life.
“Baby. You are the most beautiful woman to me. I don’t care about extra pounds. I love them actually.”
He leaned in and whispered:“I have fantasies about your full breasts, your curvy, lovely ass and the way you bounce up and down my cock like a goddess.”
She blushed all over and almost let out a moan.
That night, Celine didn’t make it to the concert.
She was the vocalist in her own bedroom.
Ryan liked his private concert more than the real one and man, the woman drove him crazy with lust. If she weren’t so weak from all those days of being sick, he would have fucked her senseless, but he was more than satisfied about slow, cuddly love-making. He had mentally prepared for this for days and had been in the forest in his bear form every day. His bear didn’t seem interested in taking control over him anymore, so this time he used protection.
He had had a hard-on since she showed up at the restaurant, carrying a terrarium in the shape of a bauble. It was a gift for him. It was also a sign she thought of him enough to work on it. He had hoped that would happen when he left the plants in her living room. He wanted this to work, but what he wanted more was for her to accept him.
They hadn’t been intimate since that night in the mountains and he ached for her touch. Despite still feeling sick with that strange flu, Celine was horny. So horny she could barely keep her hands to herself. She wanted to get back home after dinner and take advantage of having the house to herself tonight. Tony had been staying with her ever since she arrived and if this job was more permanent than a weekend, then she had to ask her friend to get her own place. She needed time alone with Ryan. A lot of it. As long as she could get with him. She was still afraid he would get bored of her and leave, but tonight had made her a bit more confident about their relationship.
She knew they had to talk about everything they hadn’t said to each other and hoped that would happen tonight. She was doing things backwards. Before she got naked with him that Saturday morning when he showed up at her place, she should have asked what his intentions were, but she never thought it would get to the level it got. Him introducing himself as her boyfriend.
He carried her from the car to her apartment door, not interrupting their kiss. He took the key from her hand and unlocked the door. Her house was cooler than it was outside, so being inside felt great. She was exhausted from all the commotion anyway.
“Put me down, Ryan. I can walk,” she giggled.
“I know you can, but carrying you around gives me extra time to be close to your soft skin, so please… allow me to worship you in any way I can.” He was dead serious. Whatever he said. She could get used to all this worshiping.
“I missed you,” she said, still clinging to his neck and burying her nose into his white shirt. He was dressed all business-like tonight and he was so handsome she wanted to just stare at him for hours just to convince herself he was indeed real and he wanted her.
He locked the front door. “Same here, but we’re together now, so let’s stop wasting time,” he silenced her with a burning kiss.
Here they were again. Saturday night. One week had passed and they were this close again. And alone. Having the house to themselves. She was beaming with excitement at the thought of what he might do to her. Her pussy still got more excited than she wanted it whenever she thought of the last time they were together. Some parts of her body still hurt.
Before getting on with it they needed to talk, but he didn’t want to break the kiss. That was why he walked to her room, put her down on the bed, but when she tried to pull him over her, he stopped her.
“Wait, baby. As much as I need to be inside you right now, we have to talk,” he said as he kneeled on the floor. He caressed her warm cheek. “I meant what I said back there to your friend, Jack. You are mine and I want you to know that. I know it’s too soon to be saying this, but I can’t stop thinking about you and waking up alone makes me angry. I know it’s tough for you to believe me given that your ex probably said the same things, but I will do my best to be around more.”He had to test the waters and mention cubs, b
ut he didn’t know how and he felt the wound in his heart open even more every time he thought about it.
The smile on her face lit up the whole room. Seeing him so vulnerable and sincere made Celine believe him. She hoped she wasn’t making the worst mistake of her life.“Nobody has ever taken care of me like you have these past few days. I didn’t dare to ask you to stay the night on Sunday because I’m very scared of getting too attached to you. It might take a long time till I get over this. I can’t guarantee I ever will, but I can try. You make me feel alive again and I can’t stop thinking about you either. I really wanted to hurt you for not calling after you did all those things to me at the chalet.” She avoided saying that he fucked her back to life because that would only feed his ego and he had enough of that.
“You can start hurting me now. I can take it!” he smirked and kissed his way into her bed. Literally. Towering over his beautiful woman, Ryan ran his finger over her soft thigh and lifted her leg, making her cling to him. He rubbed his shaft on her stomach and left a trail of shivers over her stomach and slowly slipped his hand under her t-shirt. The way their tongues played wild games made him even harder. His hair was tied up, so it didn’t bother them.
He kissed and licked her neck. It drove him crazy that she smelled like him.It gave him a sense of security and he wanted to burry himself inside of her. His cock inside her warm chamber was the best feeling in the world, but he was prepared to stand his ground and use a condom this time. As many condoms as necessary, even though it was probably useless.
She unbuttoned his shirt with shaky fingers, but she did it. He tenderly sucked and nibbled on her earlobe. She moaned. Loud. “That’s the sound I’m dying to hear, baby.”
The shirt was finally off and he took the opportunity to undress her completely. She was a bit shy about being fully naked in front of him, but when he licked her lower lip, she forgot all about it. Her breasts and her pussy were calling to him. She had been aroused ever since he punched that bastard and he was finally going to give her more orgasms.
His dick hurt from being confined in his pants all day and his balls were hot. That had to wait, though. She was his top priority now.
He teased her with brushing his finger on the exterior of her pussy lips, but he didn’t kiss her breasts. He just circled them with the tip of his tongue. Her nipples turned into hard beads from the moment his tongue touched her skin. Dipping his finger into her warm wetness, he used his seductive husky voice to tease her even more. She moaned several times and finally took matters into her hands.“Please. Please,” she begged, trying to pull his head to her nipple.
“Please what?” He licked one nipple. “What do you want, sugar?”
“Make me come,” she breathed.“I can’t take it anymore.”
He dipped two fingers inside her, pumping her as she rode his finger. Sucking her breast only added fire to the passion burning brighter inside of her. He bit her nipple and she saw fireworks. Everything exploded around her and her pussy walls clenched around his fingers. This time she wanted to watch what he would do next, so she struggled to open her eyes and focus her eyes on him. He was getting naked and he was commando. He was holding something that shined in the moonlight. A condom. He cared about her and her health. Wait. She was on the pill.
As he was preparing to roll it on his cock, she cleared her throat. “I’m on the pill. Don’t worry about it.”
“I do worry, baby.” He said as he continued to roll it. He kneeled on the bed between her jelly legs, leaned to kiss her inner thighs and placed another kiss on her stomach. He lingered there as if he was talking to her womb. When he lifted his head, he was sad. “I’m very sorry about how irresponsible I acted last time. I don’t carry any disease, I get tested every six months.” This was killing the passion and his erection, but since she started it, he felt he had to continue. He placed his hand on her stomach and inhaled. He let out a sigh and spoke. “I want to caress this part of your body when it has a baby inside, but I want it to be on your terms, not because I was careless and got too carried away to put on this stupid rubber.”She turned so emotional that tears started to trail their way down her cheeks. She stood and threw her arms around him. “Thank you for being this considerate.” She kissed him and pulled him down with her. “Now get inside where you belong before I beg for your cock!”
He laughed. “Begging is hot and I would totally love it.” He positioned his cock, held onto her waist and eased into her. A loud groan came from his throat. He leaned lower and she lifted her leg, gripping his firm ass and pushing him inside of her. Moans and the smell of sex filled the room as he thrust into her repeatedly.
“Faster. Faster,” she chanted and lifted her hips to meet his thrusts. He was now fondling her breasts. He loved the view her bouncing tits offered and the sound of their body meeting. He could lose himself in her endlessly and never grow tired of doing it. He took her in his arms and changed the angle to hit her sweet spot better. He enjoyed being this close to her. Balls deep inside of her. Kissing her now hot skin. Licking her everywhere, branding her as his.
“Yes. Yesss!” she moaned. The sensations on her skin ware maddening. They were bathed in a buzzing sensation as they desperately touched and kissed each other. A volcano was preparing to erupt from inside of her. He had such a wicked mouth and his lips were all over her chest. He was lapping at her shoulder one moment, and the next everything went dark. She must have had an orgasm because her throat was dry and she had just screamed. Her core was liquefying and she was floating on waves of pleasure and release. Ryan was chanting something while licking the muscle on her shoulder.
She struggled to catch her breath as he continued to pump her with abandonment.“Mine,” he groaned as he went still and his shaft pulsated with a violent release.
Holding her so tightly against his body gave Ryan serenity. He didn’t know if it was from marking her with his sharp teeth or because he was so tired he could probably pass out this same moment, his cock still deep in her warm core. Regardless of how he felt, he got up and prepared both of them for a great night of snuggling.
CHAPTER TWELVE
Ryan
I met Celine only three weeks ago. The night I discovered she was indeed pregnant with my cub was the night I almost lost it. I lost control of everything and all I wanted was to tear everything apart and my bear wanted to tear me apart for what I wanted to do. I remember walking to her door and preparing to go in. It happened about one week and a half after I met her. The moment I reached the door, my senses were assaulted by her maddening lily aroma combined with something new. That triggered my bear and the motherfucker of a beast almost smirked at me. Don’t get me wrong. I’m the happiest man in the world. I’m also the most terrified of them all. If she finds out what I am now, how will I ever be able to hug my cubs, play with them and keep them safe?
Deciding he had to put some distance between them and find his brother, Ryan allowed the connection between him and his twin to burst open. His brother was there for him for some strange reason. His brother never kept their connection this open. This was something new, but all Ryan had patience to think about now was his own problem. He headed for the nearest forest, running like a madman. It wasn’t very close, so he had some good minutes to go through everything in his head one more time. His brother’s bear was close. He could feel it. The other animal was restless with worry, but calm below the surface. He focused on images he could send his brother to explain the situation, but he was such a mess that he couldn’t even do it. His bear was satisfied that his mate was carrying his cubs now and it enraged Ryan how little control he had over the animal.
As soon as he reached the forest, his bear wanted to be free, to roam the forest as it pleased, but Ryan kept the leash tight.
“What happened, Ryan?” Adam said as he made his way to his brother who was now sitting down, holding his head. They were identical twins and they had decided to wear their hair the same length and style ever since they were little.
It hurt Adam to see his brother in such bad shape. Ryan looked like a broken image of himself.
When Ryan looked up, his face was distorted and his change was on its way. His voice was more a roar than a human voice, but he closed his eyes and opposed the change. Adam could see how pale his brother was. He decided it was wiser to sit somewhere near him rather than try and touch his brother. “You’re only hurting yourself by denying your bear to take control,”he whispered. Adam wasn’t afraid of his reaction. He knew he was stronger because of his connection to his inner bear.
His face muscles were rigid. “I can’t trust my fucking stupid bear. He’s crazy. He took over my body, got her pregnant and I couldn’t do anything else but sit back and watch how he gave her orgasm after orgasm, filling her with my seed until he was sure she would be pregnant soon. She’s mine and I’m not sharing her with the beast.”
“You and the bear are one and the same. If you keep denying how important he is to your wellbeing, you’ll just end up hurting yourself and your mate in the process,” Adam said with conviction.
“Mate? You don’t believe in that soul mate crap mum mentioned in her letter, do you?”
“I do now. You know I told you about meeting Anna on the same night as you met Celine. How much of a coincidence that is, I have no idea, but she is all I have ever wanted in a woman. The problem is I thought I had my bear under control, just like you.”
Ryan’s face was slowly going back to normal, a clear sign he had calmed down. He remembered meeting Anna at the restaurant a few days after that night in the club. He had even called her his brother’s mate. He had been sarcastic about it, obviously.
Adam continued. “I was only denying how wise the animal is and how it can choose the best for me. My nightmares, Ryan… those blue eyes I kept dreaming of. They belonged to her. To her! Can you imagine I was so messed up to believe I could find my own happiness, when my bear had already met his mate, my mate and was trying to make me see it?
