“Why was he trying to kill you?” I can barely talk with the intensity of my wrath building inside. I need to find this Aylwin Kirk and show him just how violent my grizzly bear can get.
But it’s not like it’s going to be as easy as putting that creep outside in line.
It’s going to be much harder. And much more deadly.
Because Chloe’s scent wasn’t the only smell I recognized in that burning building. The scent of something far more sinister was swirling around as well…
“I don’t know,” she says. “He just handcuffed me and left me to die.”
I hold her tighter as she thinks about it.
We drive down the quiet mountain road as the sun washes its heat down on us from above.
“I’m pretty sure he’s running a criminal enterprise. The FBI was in the office yesterday, so maybe he was trying to tie up loose ends? I guess I was one of them.”
“Where can I find this Aylwin Kirk?”
She shakes her head as she looks up at me with watery eyes. “Don’t go find him. Please. Just stay here with me. I don’t want you to get hurt.”
I kiss her forehead and nod, even though I know I can’t let this go. He tried to kill my mate and I can’t let that slide. I must make it right by ending his life.
But it won’t be easy.
The scent that I picked up, the scent of Aylwin Kirk, was that of a dragon shifter.
And those fuckers always put up a fight.
Chapter Four
Ethan
My possessive bear is growling in my ear as I let Chloe go. He hates that I’m leaving her, even for a second.
No! Go back. Hold her. Claim her!
He’s pacing around like a crazed animal in a cage, snarling and letting me know how furious he is with me.
Mark her. Now!
He doesn’t speak in words, but his intention is very clear. I always seem to know just what he wants, and all he wants is her.
“I feel you, buddy,” I whisper to him as I hurry over to the front of the truck and kneel down on the roof over the driver’s side. “I love being near her too.”
We’re still driving along the quiet mountain roads as I grab onto the emergency lights with one hand and lean over.
“Oh shit!” Carter shouts when he suddenly sees me in his window. He swerves the truck for a second and I immediately whip my head back to see if Chloe is okay. I really hate to leave her, especially on the roof of a moving firetruck, but she’s fine. She’s tucked beside the ladder in the roof indentation, so it’s going to take a lot more than a swerve to knock her loose.
“Drop us off at my place, will you Carter?” I say to him.
Blake is in the passenger’s seat shaking his head. “It’s a workday, Ethan.”
“I’m taking the day off.”
Chief looks pissed, but I know it’s not because I’m taking the day off. I think I’ve taken maybe one day off in the three years since I’ve been working at the station. And he knows if he calls me in for a fire, I’ll be there to help, day off or not. This is about how I snapped at him back there.
“I’m sorry I bit your head off,” I tell him and he lets out a big sigh.
“It’s fine,” he grunts. “I know you can’t help it right now. Your bear is extra possessive over your mate because there’s no mark on her neck, but if you ever growl at me like that again, I’ll bite your fucking head off for real. Understand?”
Carter is snickering until I slap the back of his head.
“Got it, Chief,” I say to Blake.
He nods then turns to Carter. “Drop them off at his place so he can mark his girl and we can all go back to normal.”
“Thanks, Chief.” I pull myself back up and turn to look at Chloe. When I see her sitting there with her brown hair flowing in the wind and a shy smile on her stunning face, I know that things will never go back to normal ever again. Not for me anyway.
She’s changed everything. I’m already obsessed.
I study every inch of her face and body as I walk back to her. Her eye make-up has made a black mess on her round cheeks from when her eyes were watering from the smoke, but I can see past that to the beauty underneath. I can’t wait to see her au natural with no make-up ruining her breath-taking features.
The wind is making her hair dance all around her and it looks alive with energy as I approach her. God, I just want to sink my hands into it and hold her while I thrust my still rock hard cock into her tight little pussy.
My bear groans inside as I think about all the dirty stuff I want to do with her. I want to take her in every position. I want to make her scream so loud that my eardrums explode. I want to pump every drop of my hot cum into her little cunt until her womb is drenched in my seed with my baby growing inside of it.
“I should go home,” she says as I sit back down behind her.
My heart nearly breaks from her words. It actually physically hurts.
“No,” I say as I wrap my arms around her and pull her back into my chest where I can keep her safe. “You’re staying with me.”
“But, I’ll be a burden.”
I gently take her chin and turn her face until she’s looking into my eyes. “You’ll never be a burden to me. Understand?”
She nods and I feel my whole body shiver as those stunning blue eyes gaze up at me.
“You’re coming to my place,” I say in a commanding voice that leaves no room for any buts. “This Aylwin guy could come and get you and I can’t let that happen. I want you at my place where I can keep an eye on you. You’re going to stay with me and I’ll keep you safe.”
She shifts a little closer into my embrace and I squeeze my big arms around her to let her know just how good I’m going to take care of her.
“But for how long?” she asks with a hint of worry in her voice. “I can’t stay at your place forever.”
She can and she will. She doesn’t know it yet, but she’s never leaving. I can’t allow it. There’s no way I’m going to let my mate go off into the world without her two thousand pound furry bodyguard by her side and looking out for her. She’s the most precious thing in the world to me and my bear, and she’s going to find out just how possessive a pair we are.
“Don’t worry about a thing,” I whisper to her as I run my fingers through her hair and massage her scalp. “Just sit back, relax, enjoy the mountain view, and know that I’ll take care of you properly.”
She sighs and melts into me as we look at the stunning mountains in the distance. My cock is still rock hard and raging in my pants—I’m not sure if the beast is ever going to be soft again—and Chloe lets out a little whimper when her back presses against it. She doesn’t get upset or jump out of my arms when she feels how thick and hard my shaft is. Chloe just pretends not to notice and stays pressed against it, which makes my bear crazy. Hell, it makes me crazy too. A fresh stream of pre-cum oozes out the tip and drips down my thick veined shaft. Luckily, it’s not going to leak through my firefighter pants and get her all wet.
With her pressed against my cock, I start to realize how badly I need some relief. My balls are aching and so full that they feel like they’re going to explode.
Her delicious scent is swirling in my nose and making me all light-headed and the feel of her curves under my palms are just… fuck… there are no words to describe it. It’s pure heaven.
“You don’t mind me staying with you?” she asks in a small timid voice that sends a jolt straight to my cock. “We just met.”
How can I tell her that we’re mates and even though we just met, it already feels like I know her intimately? How can I tell her she’s mine and I won’t ever let her go?
“Do you believe in love at first sight, Chloe?”
She chuckles and then turns around to see if I’m serious. I am.
“Love at first sight?” she says as she stares at me in disbelief. “I’m afraid to look in a mirror right now. There’s ash in my hair, I reek of smoke, my mascara must be a mess, my ha
ir is a nightmare. What’s wrong with you that you can fall in love with this?”
“What’s wrong with you that you can’t see how utterly perfect you are?”
She laughs and then turns back around while shaking her head. “I think you inhaled too much smoke.”
I just hold her even tighter and kiss the top of her head. “I think I’m finally awake for the first time in my life.”
Carter turns the firetruck onto my street and it won’t be long before she’s in my place. My bear keeps stalking around and is still unable to relax. I know how he feels. I’m torn.
I need to hunt down and kill this dragon shifter like I need to breathe. Any threat to my mate must be eliminated immediately, but there’s another competing need coursing through my veins as well.
I need to explore her young ripe body and claim every inch of her. I need my cock in her cunt and my mark on her neck.
The firetruck comes to a stop in front of my place. It’s a lakefront house overlooking the mountains and surrounded by tall trees. I’ve always loved it, but now I’m seeing it through new critical eyes. It’s too small. It’s only got one bathroom. I’m terrified that Chloe won’t be happy here.
