Her body is open and ready for me, and I can’t hold back any longer. Climbing up her body, I’m impatient, but I try to go slow. I want this to be perfect for her every single time.
Leaning down, I kiss her lips and lie over her gently. The taste of her sweetness passes between our tongues, and she moans around the kiss. I push past her wet folds with my hard cock and thrust all the way inside her. I should have taken my time, but if I have to spend one more second outside of her body, I may die.
When her pussy is wrapped around my cock to the root, I finally feel like I can breathe. My mouth moves down her neck and to her breasts, and I lick her nipples, loving the feel of them on my tongue.
“So beautiful,” I whisper against the full mounds.
I push them together, and bury my face in between them. The warm globes pressing against my cheeks as I nuzzle in her valley.
She giggles and says my beard tickles, but she makes no move to push me away. So I thrust into her with my face buried there, loving the soft snuggle I get with each stroke.
“What did you say?” she asks, another giggle coming from her.
I lift my face up, smiling at her because she couldn’t understand my mumbles against her breasts. “I said I love you.”
Her hand comes up to cup my cheek, and there is so much love in her eyes. “I love you, Koda. I love you so much.”
Holding her hips, I cum inside her, filling her with my warm seed. But as Mother Nature keeps reminding us, there is lots more where that came from.
I roll us over and help Snow sit up on top of me, riding my rock-hard cock. When she has another orgasm, she nearly collapses on my chest, but I catch her and hold her against me.
Thrusting into her slowly with no rush to the next peak, we lie there and pet each other for hours.
“I think you might be part bear,” I say, running a bit of her hair under my nose.
She laughs, lifting her face up to look at me. “Why do you say that?”
“Because you like to cuddle almost as much as I do.”
Suddenly, she starts kissing down my chest, and I love the way it feels. I love the way every part of her feels, but I especially like her mouth.
When my cock slips free from her pussy, I growl, but she just keeps kissing lower, and for a second I forget to be mad.
Her mouth goes to my hip, and I nearly start to sit up. But she puts her hand on my stomach, and I look down at her.
“Snow, what are you doing?”
Tentatively, she moves lower, taking my cock in her hand. “I just want to make you feel as good as you make me feel.”
“But you do. You make me feel perfect just being my mate.” I grab her wrist, trying to halt her movements, but she pulls back a little.
“Just give me a second, Koda. Relax.”
I start to say something else, but her mouth goes to the tip of my cock, and I lose all conscious thought.
“Snow,” I manage to choke out as her tongue flicks across the head of my dick. She must taste the two of us mixed together, and the thought only makes me hotter. Our passion coating me and her licking it up. Selfishly, I want a taste, too.
“Mmm,” she hums around me, and she takes me deeper.
My claws come out, and I dig them into the mattress to try to keep some control. I grit my teeth, but when she goes a little deeper, I can’t stand it anymore.
Reaching down, I grab her arms and haul her up my body, turning us so she’s pinned on her back and I’m on top of her. I thrust into her in one stroke and put my mouth on hers. Feathers fly around us, and I realize that I must have cut through a pillow or down blanket. I should care, but I’m so turned on, I can’t stop and think about it.
When my mouth goes to Snow’s neck, she’s gasping for air as I keep thrusting.
“I wasn’t done yet,” she manages to say between ruts.
“No. You were finished,” I growl into her neck and feel her pussy squeeze around me. She cums clinging to me, and I follow her into the fog of paradise.
Sometime later, she says she wants to try that again, and I’ve got her on her back before she can finish the thought. She giggles and says maybe in time I will get used to it, but I don’t think that’s possible. I’ll never get used to having this perfect human all to myself. And I’ll never get used to loving every inch of her with every inch of me. For the rest of our lives.
Epilogue
Snow
Six months later…
My belly is growing big, but I swear the bigger I get, the more Koda can’t keep his hands off me.
Life is still perfectly wonderful as my mate takes care of me and our growing cub. Apparently, bear shifters are pregnant for a long time, but I don’t mind. I like feeling our baby move inside of me, and I can’t help but wonder if it’s a boy or a girl. Or if it will be a shifter at all.
From what Winnie tells me, the bear gene is dominant, and with a mate the size of Koda, we are guaranteed a boy bear shifter. I loved hearing that and spent hours picturing a little boy with honey-colored eyes and golden-brown hair like his father.
I hum a happy sigh and look up to see Koda carrying over a basket of blueberries for us. We are having a picnic by the lake he found me at. I’m stretched out, enjoying the sun on my face as he lies down beside me and kisses my belly.
“Have you thought about what we should name our baby?” he asks, feeding me a blueberry.
“I think you should choose, Koda. You have a strong name, and I think you will give our son one, too.”
“What if it’s a girl?”
I smile at him and raise an eyebrow.
“Okay. If it’s a boy, I like the name Jasper.”
I nod my head and smile, liking the sound of that.
“But just in case it’s a girl, I like the name Snow.” He reaches up and touches my cheeks, and I can feel them blush.
“Why would you want to give a girl the same name as me?”
He leans down, kissing my lips softly before whispering. “Because I can’t think of anything I love more than Snow.”
We kiss for a long time before I finally lean back and look into his soft eyes. His bear is happy to be outside today, and I’m happy I can do that for him. I’ve brought Koda into the light again, and he no longer feels afraid of what’s going to happen.
He no longer has the nightmares he said he had before I came along. Instead, he sleeps and sleeps until I get up from the bed. Then he’s by my side until it’s time for bed again. He says that before he found me he wouldn’t leave the house a lot, but now he finds reasons to bring me to new places and show me the world. I think it has to do with him knowing I was locked away for so long, even though it was for my protection. I think he feels the need to make up for lost time.
“Well, we both know it’s a boy, so it’s a moot point.”
He smiles at me and cuddles my neck. I rub up and down his back, hearing him growl in delight at the feeling. He loves when I run my nails all over him, scratching his big body.
“If you want a girl, I will make it so.”
I laugh at his serious tone. Only Koda would try and will Mother Nature to give me the sex I want.
Kissing him again softly, I shake my head. “A healthy baby. That’s all I want.”
He kisses me back, and this time he deepens the kiss, putting my back on the blanket and coming over me. He pushes my light spring dress up and exposes my bare sex to the sunlight. Then he moves down my body and settles between my legs.
I close my eyes and moan a little as his warm tongue licks lazily across my clit. We are in no rush today, just enjoying the beautiful spring day and each another.
His mouth opens and covers my pussy, then he sucks on my clit. I feel his thick fingers penetrate me, and I arch up to greet them. I’ve been in a state of constant need since the first time we made love. I thought at some point it would diminish or fade a little, but it hasn’t.
Our mating bond is something I never thought I would experience. It’s al
l-consuming, and I can’t seem to get enough of him. I reach down and grip Koda’s hair, pulling him as close to me as I can. Then I’m climaxing against his mouth and he’s slowly licking me clean.
When he’s wrung me out, he comes over me, careful of my growing belly, and slides his full length inside of me. My mate mark tingles, as does the rest of my body as we make love on the blanket. His heavy thrusts become our heartbeat, and our perfect day is even better now.
As his hot seed enters me, my own orgasm is triggered, and I cling to Koda, shouting his name. He leans down, worshiping me and whispering words of love. I’ll never get tired of the way he dotes on me and tells me he loves me.
As I close my eyes and drift off to sleep, I feel Koda curl up beside me and kiss my mate mark. It’s heaven on earth, and I never want it to end.
Epilogue
Koda
Two years later …
I growl watching the unmated wolf smile at Snow. I stand beside her, looking like a giant shadow scaring off the townspeople, but I don’t care.
“Koda, if you are going to intimidate everyone that comes over here, then what’s the point of me helping out with the bake sale?”
Snow huffs, and I sit down in the chair behind her, looking at her lush ass. I lick my lips as she moves around the table selling baked goods at the festival.
We agreed to help out Ruby, Gwen, and Winnie with the fall festival and take a turn selling the baked goods. It’s going on all weekend, and she’s been looking forward to it for months. She started helping out with Ruby’s Goodie Basket right after our mating, saying that she wanted to get out into the town and become a part of our pack community. I knew it would be good for the both of us, so slowly I’ve been integrating into the role of town deputy sheriff. I’ve also been helping her in the bakery and with watching the cubs of our pack.
Snow is about five months pregnant with our second cub, and seeing her like this only turns me on more. We’ve got one girl cub so far, but she thinks this one is a boy. Just like the last one. I don’t care what we have, as long as they are all healthy and happy, just like my mate. Little Snow is at home with her Aunt Winnie and Uncle Stone today, so the time alone is nice. Although I would have liked to have spent it in bed instead of out here in the town, but this makes Snow happy, so I do as she wishes.
“Hey there, pretty lady. Got anything on this table as sweet as you?”
I hear a man’s voice, and I pull my eyes from Snow’s ass to look around her and see a human standing in front of her. If he was a shifter, he would have smelled my scent on her a mile away and know damn well to stay clear.
Slowly, and with as much restraint as I can, I stand up behind Snow. I rise up and tower over the top of her head to look down at this human.
“What did you say?” I ask through gritted teeth.
I hear Snow stifle a laugh, but I don’t think anything about this is funny.
“I, umm, I was, umm.” He tries to stutter out a few sentences, but nothing intelligible leaves his lips.
“Everything is two dollars, and all the proceeds go to the children's playground on Main Street,” Snow says, trying to smooth over the situation.
I loom over her, looking down at this man, daring him to make a move. I would rip out his throat in the middle of this street to show my dominance to all who would think to approach my mate.
Slowly, he pulls his wallet out and takes out a twenty-dollar bill, laying it on the table and backing away. He doesn’t say a word as he backs up and blends into the crowd, never showing me his back.
Snow turns around on me then, putting her hands on her hips and raising an eyebrow. I just shrug my shoulders and sit back down, not even bothering to apologize.
She just lets out a huff like she’s mad, but I see her smiling when she turns back around to the table. That’s fine with me because I get to look at her ass again.
“At least it was a good donation,” she says, picking up the twenty and putting it into the jar.
“At least the view is nice,” I say, and she looks over her shoulder and gives me a wink.
She knows exactly what she’s doing when she wiggles that thing around in front of me, but I just let her pretend she’s innocent as I think about all the ways I’m going to bite it later.
She’s lucky she’s pregnant or I would for sure be putting a baby in her tonight. Mating moon or not, she’s being a tease and she knows it. Snow knows exactly what happens when she pokes at my bear.
Reaching out, I grab her hips and pull her down on my lap. She lets out a squeak and tries to pull away, but she and I both know she doesn’t want to go anywhere. She just likes riling me up.
“You shake that thing in front of me again and I’ll carry you out of here over my shoulder.” I nip at her neck, and it sends a shiver down her spine.
“You promise?” She gives me a wicked smile, and I growl.
“Careful, mate. You’re supposed to be here for another hour.” I rub my hand across her growing belly and feel myself getting harder.
She smacks my leg playfully, and I let her get up out of my lap.
“Then I guess you’ll just have to have some self-control for the next hour.”
I grip the seat, nearly snapping the arms off, and grit my teeth. “Snow, when it comes to you, I’ve never had control.”
She turns around and walks up to me so we are almost eye to eye. “I know, and I love it. Just like I love you.”
The kiss she places on my lips is soft and sweet, but it has me counting down the seconds until I can get her out of here and back in our cabin. When it comes to Snow, I know two things are for sure: I’ll never stop loving her, and I’ll never get enough.
THE END
The first time Stone saw Winnie, she was alone in the woods with no memory of where she came from.
With one look, he knew something was different. When she finally came of age and her mating heat kicked in, he realized that she had always been the one.
Sent to live with a strange family, Winnie was forced to deal with the hateful treatment of her stepmother and stepsisters.
Mating the alpha changed that.
But when her past comes back to find her, will the heat last after the clock strikes midnight?
Warning: This shifter fairy tale is meant to be enjoyed by only those who love this kind of adorable stuff. Think you've got what it takes? Then come on in! (
To the hubs; my life, my love, my mate.
Prologue
Winnie
Past…
“Please don’t leave me here.” My voice cracks at the plea. I hate this. I hate all of it. I stare up at the alpha of the Gray Ridge pack, not wanting to part with him. One would think I’d want to get away from him as fast as possible. Everything about him screams strength and power. I’ve noticed no one even really makes eye contact with him, but I do. I stare up at him, pleading with my eyes. I feel safe with him. It’s almost funny because he’s easily a foot-and-a-half taller than me. Maybe more.
Stone’s an alpha in every sense of the word. I knew it from the moment he picked me up in his arms. I could feel it almost bleeding off him. He was attractive, but not what I would call handsome by any stretch. His dark-brown hair is shaved at the sides, with the top a little bit longer. He always grips it when he gets a little bit agitated with me. Which seems to be a lot since I started following him around like a lost cub. Which I am.
Even at night, when everyone would go to bed, I’d sneak into his room and crawl into bed with him. Maybe that’s why he’s making me leave. Who wants a lost little cub following them around everywhere they go? He’s all I know, but that’s not saying much since I can only remember the last seven days of my life. He’s my world at this point. He and Gwen are all I know, and I don’t want to let that go.
His big hand cups my chin, and I lean into it, trying to inhale his scent. It’s now become the scent I think of when I think of home, and he’s trying to take it from me. His thumb brushes my cheek
, and something flashes in his dark-blue eyes before he drops his hand away liked I burned him. I want to reach out and put it back, but I don’t.
When I was first found in the woods, they brought me to him, and he held me for days. Lay on the floor with me in his home, petting me, trying to get me to shift out of bear form. I couldn’t do it. I didn’t know how. I didn’t know anything except my first name. I still don’t know much. I seem to remember everything except my previous life. I know how everything works, and I can read and write, but my life just isn’t there.
Even the first few days after being found in the woods is still hazy in my mind. Just like the rest of my life, but no one has come for me. No one has come forward to claim me as theirs. I was abandoned and unwanted, it seems. And now it’s happening again. In seven days I’ve been cast out twice. Okay, maybe Stone isn’t casting me out as much as placing me in a new home, but it feels like it. He’s found me a permanent place among a family in his pack, but it feels as if I’m being thrown away.
“This is what’s best. Trust me,” Stone finally says. I want to believe him. Trust him. I turn my head to look at the place that’s to be my home now. A man and a woman stand on the porch with two blonde girls who look to be about my age. Well, what I’m guessing is my age. They look like they’ve been plucked right out of a magazine. Stone said it was a nice family. They have two daughters, and I will like it here.
I hear Gwen, Stone’s sister, let out an unhappy huff from behind him. She doesn’t want me to leave either. She and Stone have been fighting for the past two days about it. I hate that they were fighting about me. Maybe that was another reason he wanted me gone. She wanted me to stay with them, but Stone said it just wasn’t possible. I think it’s a lie. He’s the alpha; he could make it so. He just doesn’t want me to.
