Bewitching The Bear

by Vanessa Devereaux

  “Only one way to find out I guess.”

  He pushed her slowly down onto the top of one of the haystacks before kissing her. He stopped and they looked one another in the eye. It was almost like they were two magnets, each feeling the pull but trying to fight it. He pushed the two sides of her dress apart allowing it to fall on each side of her body. He kissed each of her breasts, flicking his tongue over their nipples before running his tongue down the middle of her upper belly and around her navel. It tickled, it felt good, and caused every nerve ending in her body to tingle. Cade pushed her legs apart.

  “Cade, I don’t think this is a great idea. I mean I want you so badly that…”

  “Sch,” was all he said before she felt his lips on her mound. He snaked his tongue over her clit and began flicking it.

  Nothing had ever felt so good. She never imagined what true pleasure would feel like. He flicked and licked the nub, causing her to grab a handful of the hay from the bale.

  A murmur escaped her lips, causing him to lick harder and faster. It was like falling down into soft warm velvet hole and there was a sense that something wonderful was about to wash over her. More intense than anything she’d experienced while self-pleasuring in the bath.

  This was it, her first orgasm brought about by a man. It wasn’t exactly how she’d envisioned it, but for now it would have to do.

  Her legs shook right before she cried out, sat up and looked straight at Cade who was smiling at her.

  “Now it’s my turn to bring pleasure to you,” she told him.

  *****

  Cade almost came when she’d told him that.

  Minutes later, he was on his back, listening to the rain and the slight echo of the music that still played at the reception as Gillian held his cock and took its length into her mouth. She touched his balls as she ran her tongue over the entire length of his shaft.

  Her mouth was soft and warm and he tried to imagine what her pussy would feel like surrounding his dick. It would happen. They’d find a way. He’d make sure of it. His cock twitched against the roof of her mouth.

  “Never been given a blow job by a witch before,” he whispered. “I like it.”

  His cock twitched again and his balls ached as he felt a stirring like never before.

  Gillian, despite being a virgin, knew exactly how to please. For a second, he wondered if she’d done this with another man, a fellow witch or was that a wizard? He hated to think about her with anyone else but him.

  She tapped the underneath of his shaft with the very tip of her tongue which sent his nerve endings into a frenzy. He slapped the bale of hay with both his fists, wanting it to last just a little longer, but he couldn’t.

  He was going to come soon, come fast, and how was he going to resist not throwing her to the ground and entering her? Talk about a lesson in willpower.

  Cade was on the verge of shifting too so he gritted his teeth to fight it.

  She sucked harder and that’s all it took for him to find the sweet release he’d been longing for all night.

  He sat up, looked at her, knowing in a few minutes he was going to need to shift and run like never before.

  *****

  Gillian knew what she’d done to him. He was after all, a bear shifter. They had more needs than a regular man. Holding them in, suppressing them was dangerous not only to them but people too.

  He’d been gone for over thirty minutes. He’d told her to go back to the reception, listen to the music, enjoy a glass of wine while she waited for him to return. She could still feel his tongue on her clit. The spark of electricity that had jolted down her legs the second he’d touched her. She squeezed her thighs together, hoping juices wouldn’t slip from her and leave her with a tell-tale wet patch on the back of her dress when she finally stood.

  She ran her fingers through her hair, pulling out a few pieces of straw. Hopefully, no one had seen it upon her return to the party. She’d looked for Aunt Louise but couldn’t find her and guessed she’d already left with Eddie.

  Lots of people were still milling around, drinking and talking even though the band had stopped playing about ten minutes ago and were now in the process of packing up their equipment.

  “Did Cade leave you all by yourself?” asked Cole.

  “No, he had to run an errand. He should be back any time now.”

  “I think this was one of the best weddings we’ve ever been to,” said Lucy.

  Gillian had to agree the setting, the food, the music was something she could only dream about.

  She saw Cade returning and had Ash by his side.

  “Chloe and I have to fly to Denver on Monday for Sophie’s surgery,” she heard him telling Cade.

  She’d heard everyone talking about Sophie who needed heart surgery.

  “But I’m sure Bear or even Cole can help you,” Ash continued.

  “Help you with what?” asked Cole. “I have been known to do consultations at wedding receptions.”

  “It’s a personal matter,” said Cade. He glanced at Gillian.

  “Looks like it’s our cue to leave so they can clean up the place,” said Chloe as the band wheeled their amps by them.

  “Hey, good luck with Sophie’s surgery,” said Cade. “I know we’re going to have a get together Tuesday night while we wait to hear how things went.”

  Chloe crossed her fingers. “I know she’s going to be fine.”

  “Shall we head out now,” Cade asked Gillian.

  “Sure.”

  He put his arm around her as they followed the rest of the couples to the parking area.

  “You okay?” she asked him.

  “Feel much better now but you’ll understand if I don’t kiss you goodnight.”

  “I understand completely.”

  “Let’s focus on something else. How about you attending the get together while we wait to hear about Sophie’s operation. You could bring along some of those huckleberry muffins.”

  “How about pumpkin and chocolate chip too?” she asked him.

  “I like the sound of that. You sure know how to excite a guy.”

  “Is Sophie’s heart condition serious?”

  “She has Down syndrome and has a heart defect they want to correct before she gets much older.”

  “I should have mixed a potion for Chloe and Ash to keep them relaxed while they wait.”

  “So that’s the connection…I see that now, the store, the oils and potions, and you being a witch.”

  “I love helping people and I refuse to let my sister take it all away.”

  “We’ll come up with some solution, even if all the shifters have to put their heads together, she’s not going to win.”

  *****

  “I don’t think I’ve ever seen you look so worried,” said Cole after Cade had sat down in his office at the clinic. “You feeling sick, something wrong?”

  “I don’t know what you’d call it but I have a huge problem. I want to make love to Gillian but I can’t.”

  “Hey, don’t worry about that, we all get those times. I have a beautiful wife but sometimes I’m just too tired from working here all day,” Cole told him.

  “That’s not the problem. I want to and I physically can, but I can’t.”

  “Now, you’re losing me,” said Cole, leaning back on his chair.

  Cade filled him in on the whole situation.

  “Oh boy,” said Cole, putting his stethoscope down on the desk. “That’s what I call a problem. And not just for you, but for all of us.”

  Cade stood and started to pace. “You’ve seen Gillian, she’s gorgeous, she could even be my mate but I won’t know that until we’ve made love.”

  “And her sister and the witches will know if she’s lost her virginity? I mean how?”

  “It’s an honor system, one that the witches adhere strictly too. Gillian has no intention of not being honest about losing her virginity and the Quest as she calls it.”

  “I admire her for that. Honesty isn’
t common these days.”

  “Don’t suppose you know if there’s a way a woman can have sex and still keep her virginity.”

  “Not that I know of. Once it’s gone, it’s gone. Do you have the willpower to just fool around for awhile until we can think of a solution? You know lots of great foreplay.”

  *****

  “Something wrong, honey?”

  Gillian turned around and looked at her aunt.

  “He knows I’m a witch.”

  “There’s nothing wrong with that. Eddie knows I’m a 140-year old witch which makes me a cougar because he’s only 80.”

  Louise walked over to her, threw her arms around her and hugged her tight. “You’ve fallen for him so he had to know.”

  “We want to make love, we almost made love,” Gillian told her.

  “They should let you pass level one just for managing to stay away from that hunky man for this long.”

  “I said almost, we had oral sex.”

  “Oh really…I should ask but…”

  “Yes, it was fantastic.”

  “Um, those bear shifters are quite something.”

  Louise ran her hands through her hair and coughed.

  “Eddie,” said Gillian. “Come on Aunt Louise, I’ve just shared things with you.”

  For the first time in her life, Gillian saw her aunt blushing.

  “He’s a beast but in a good way. For an old man, well old bear, he can make love for hours. I had one orgasm after another. It was divine.”

  Gillian was happy for her aunt but at the same time, she wanted to experience the same thing with Cade.

  “Oh, speak of the bear,” said Louise.

  Gillian saw Eddie heading into the store with a large bunch of flowers.

  “Hi Eddie,” said Gillian. “I’d ask how can I help you today, but I guess you’re here to see Louise.”

  “That I am and these are for you my sweet,” he said, stepping toward her aunt.

  She took the bunch of flowers from him and put them to her nose. “These are lovely. I’d say you shouldn’t have but I’d be lying.”

  “Just wanted to ask if you’d like to go to see a movie with me tonight?”

  “I would love that. We gonna ride on the back of your hog?”

  “We sure are. And you, young lady, I want to see you on the back of Cade’s bike.”

  “I agree, Gillian. You are going to enjoy it. In fact, it might even take the edge off your little problem.”

  They both had a point and she’d tell Cade the two of them should head out for a ride tonight.

  *****

  “I think we should separate you two. Keep you from seeing one another again,” said Dane. “I don’t think we can trust you to be around a pretty woman and not fuck her.”

  “He’s right,” said Christopher.

  “And look who’s talking, didn’t you used to fuck two a night and at the same time,” said Liam.

  Christopher turned red. It was probably the last thing he wanted Lilly to ever know about.

  “How about she buys a vibrator,” suggested Aiden.

  “How do you know about vibrators? Does Charlotte have to resort to using one now and then?” asked Luke.

  Cade knew they were trying to lighten the atmosphere but this wasn’t helping.

  “Come on guys, throw out some suggestions,” asked Cade.

  “You could always fuck another woman,” said Christopher.

  “I don’t want to. Did any of you guys want to have sex with someone else once you’d found your mate.”

  “Did you just hear what you said?” asked Trey. “My brother has found his mate.”

  Had he just said that?

  “I think she might be.”

  “You know don’t you,” his brother teased.

  “Does it make any difference if you two get married?” asked Bear.

  “Don’t think that factors into it,” said Cade.

  “If only you weren’t so damn handsome then she probably could resist you,” said Dane.

  “We could get her a chastity belt,” said Nick.

  “We could get him a chastity belt for his dick,” said Trey.

  “Guys, guys, this flippant attitude isn’t helping one little bit.”

  “How about hormone suppressors or even having Bear or Cole make a few snips,” said Dane making a cutting motion over his groin.

  “I want to have babies with her,” said Cade.

  The room felt silent.

  Had he admitted that out loud?

  They all whistled. “This is serious and we have to come up with something and fast,” said Aiden.

  *****

  Gillian knew Cade was discussing their dilemma with the male bear shifters. She’d seen them in a huddle over in the corner while she’d been helping the ladies set out the refreshments. They were waiting to hear news about Sophie’s surgery and she realized what a tight knit group they really were and all the more reason she couldn’t let Matilda ruin what they had.

  “Guys, it’s Ash, he’s on Skype,” shouted Charlotte.

  They’d set up a monitor at the front of the room and soon Ash appeared on it. His hair didn’t have its usual well-groomed quality and he even had bags under his eyes. Gillian guessed he’d had a rough day.

  “Hey guys. Thanks for gathering together like this and for all the supportive texts you’ve sent. I’m happy to tell you that Sophie’s operation was a huge success. She was a brave little girl.”

  Everyone cheered.

  “She’s in recovery and as soon as they take her to intensive care, Chloe and I will go there to be with her. They said she’ll probably in there a few days, just to make sure she’s okay. Brady and Jenna are flying in tomorrow, along with Chloe’s parents so I know she’s going to get spoiled big time. Oh, hang on, looks like I’m getting paged that Sophie’s in intensive care now so I have to go, but we should be home in a couple of weeks and look forward to seeing all of you. Chloe, Sophie and I love you all.”

  He finished by blowing a kiss and then was gone.

  Cade put his arm around Gillian. “So happy to hear that little girl is okay,” he said.

  Gillian put her arms around Cade’s waist. “You are all such a great group of people,” she said.

  Cade kissed the top of her head. “And you’re going to be part of the group.”

  She turned toward him, looking him straight in the eyes.

  “You know you don’t have to do this?”

  “Do what?”

  “Be with me, sacrifice having a sex life. I mean look around the room. There are plenty of women you could date.”

  He pulled her in close. “Yeah, but none of them are you. It’s you I want and I’ll give up whatever it takes to have you.”

  He wasn’t just giving up the sex thing, but the bike thing, well not entirely but her not wanting to ride with him was something else he was losing out on. Relationships were all about give and take and she had to yield to something.

  “I want to ride on your bike.”

  There she’d said it. She’d be fine, and like Louise said, it might just take the edge off their dilemma.

  “What’s brought this on? I hope it’s something you really want to do and not just because you feel sorry for me giving up on my sex life.”

  “Not at all. It was actually Eddie and Louise that changed my mind for me. They seem to be having a great time, well, not just on the bike.”

  Cade laughed. “Yeah, I saw them at the reception. I hope they’re using birth control.”

  She saw the dimples in his face again when he grinned.

  “Maybe they’ll be forced to get married.”

  Cade winked at her. “Why don’t I get the bike ready for a sunset ride tomorrow?”

  That sounded so romantic, so dreamy. It could lead to trouble but now they both knew what they had to do to resist the urge to make love.

  “How about I bring along the food and drink?” Gillian, quickly added.

  “Can�
��t wait. Meet me at the store just before six.”

  “It’s a date.”

  A date she was already getting excited about.

  Back to Top

  Chapter 19

  He had another date with his dream girl, or should he now say, dream witch. Cade guessed not too many guys could say they were dating one of those. He picked out a helmet for Gillian, and as the evenings were getting downright chilly, he grabbed two blankets. One for sitting on, the other for wrapping themselves in. They’d sit side by side, arms and thighs brushing, the heat from their bodies and desire, mixing in the air.

  He stopped that thought.

  Going on this short trip was committing sexual suicide. A bike ride up into the mountains, sunset meal, snuggling and being with the woman who he believed might be his mate. If she was then he’d have to mark her and that could only be done during sex.

  He wouldn’t dwell upon it now. He’d just enjoy the time with her. Live in the moment like Charlie had always told him and his brothers to do.

  Hearing the buzzer over the door, he looked up to see Gillian standing there with a basket in her hand. How was he going to resist her beauty and that body of hers? He was pretty sure he fell in love with her a little bit more each time they met.

  “I’m ready, food is packed, and I even brought along our book club pick just in case we need something to distract us.”

  “You think of everything. Is that what witches do?” He walked over to her and kissed her on the top of the head, feeling the heat of her body and the smell of her perfume. He took a deep breath. Yeah, he was pretty sure this was his mate.

  “Let’s get going because I’m starving,” he said.

  “You’re going to love what I’ve made.”

  He grabbed the helmets and they headed outside.

  “Let me put this on the back while you get your helmet on,” he said, handing it to her.

  Cade secured the basket and put his own helmet on. He jumped on the bike.

  “Okay, get on and hold on tight to me. I’ll start out slowly at first.”

  He felt her body pressing against his, the warmth permeating into his jacket as she wrapped her arms around him. He started the engine and made a few slow turns in the parking lot before heading out onto the road. Gillian grabbed him tighter.
