I turn to him with eyes that could kill. “That would be great,” I say with murderous intentions seeping out of every word. “And thanks a lot, Westin.”

He nods his head to me then to Aubrey and then disappears out the front door.

There’s tension and thickness in the air between us as we both stand there, not saying a word.

“Am I your mate?” she asks as she watches me with shining eyes.

I take a deep breath and take a step toward her, but she takes a step back.

“Yes, okay?” I say, coming clean. She’s going to find out eventually. “I’m a grizzly bear shifter and you’re my mate.”

She drops her eyes as her mind puts all the pieces together. “That’s why you wanted me to stay. That’s why you’re being so nice.”

That’s why I won’t ever let you go. That’s why I’m already in love. That’s why I need your body under mine so badly it hurts.

“I didn’t expect this either,” I say as I slowly approach her. She lets me take her hands and I can’t help but think that’s a good sign. “But when I saw you in the classroom, I just knew. It killed me to leave you after that, Aubrey. I can’t get you out of my mind. I think about you every second and it’s killing me that you’re not mine when I know that you are.”

I can tell by the way she’s watching me that she’s still piecing things together.

“You feel it too,” I say, throwing it out there. “Tell me the truth, Aubrey. Do you feel a pull to me?”

She waits a long moment before nodding her head. “Maybe a little.”

“Maybe more than a little?”

She swallows as she stares into my eyes. “Maybe a little more than a little.”

I smile as relief fills me. We don’t have to pretend anymore. We’re living together and we’re meant to be together. It can’t get more perfect than this.

“I’m still going to sleep in that room,” she says as she pulls her hands back from mine. “I’m not ready for that yet.”

“You take all the time you need,” I tell her as I feel my heart swell so big it feels like it’s going to burst out of my chest. “We have forever.”

Her hand goes to her temple and she starts rubbing it. “I think I need a nap. I have a killer headache.”

“Go lie down,” I say as I grab the keys to my truck. “I’ll go get you some Advil.”

She walks back down the hall with her head held low and then pauses at the doorway to her room. My pulse is racing as she turns around.

“I’m not upset that you’re my mate,” she says with a forced smile. “I’m just… I don’t know. It’s been a long day and I don’t know how to react yet. I need some time.”

“I’ll be here when you’re ready.”

She smiles a strained smile at me and then goes back to her room.

My bear starts growling again, urging me to follow her and take what’s ours.

I squeeze the keys in my hands and hurry out the door instead.

The impatient fucker is just going to have to wait.

An hour and a half later and I have her car repairs paid for, some new clothes that will show off her sexy curves, and some food for dinner. I even bought a huge dog bone to keep Buddy busy for when his master is finally ready to succumb to her mate’s desires.

She’s still sleeping when I return, so I get dinner ready while I let her sleep. I prepare some honey garlic chicken with Buddy by my side. I give him a few choice pieces of white meat and if we weren’t friends before, then we’re best friends now. The dog won’t leave my side.

“It smells good in here,” Aubrey says as she walks into the kitchen.

I inhale deeply, breathing in her intoxicating scent and nod in agreement. “It does now. Do you still have your headache because I have two options?” I place the Advil on the granite island as she sits on one of the barstools. Then, I place a wine bottle next to it. “Advil or wine?”

She grins as she looks at it. “We better try the wine. Since this is a date after all.”

I smile as I grab the bottle and start to open it. “I was hoping you were going to say that.”

She watches as I pour it and I’m so focused on her beautiful face with her round cheeks that I spill a bit of it on the counter.

“It seems like Buddy is attached to you now,” she says as she looks at the dog by my feet with a smile on her face. “That didn’t take long.”

Let’s hope it doesn’t take too long with Buddy’s owner either. I don’t know how long I can last without her in my arms.

“So,” she says as she glances down at my chest. “You’re telling me there’s a bear inside you?”

“A grizzly bear, yeah.”

“I’m going to be honest with you, I don’t think I can believe it until I see it for myself. I’ve never met a shifter before.”

“You probably met a few but you just didn’t know it.”

She looks skeptical.

“Remember the guy who came here earlier with your stuff?”

“Westin?”

“Yeah, he’s a grizzly bear shifter too.”

“Does he have a mate?”

“No,” I say with a laugh. “But we’re all hoping he finds one soon because he won’t shut up about it. That boy wants a mate more than he wants to breathe.”

“And how about you?” she asks as she studies my face. “Do you want a mate?”

I take a deep breath and then turn around before answering. I can feel her eyes on me as I pull the chicken out of the oven and flip it over.

Last week, I would have definitely said no, but now after seeing her, everything has changed.

“I do,” I finally say as I turn around and look at her. “I didn’t think I did, but now I know how wrong I was.”

“How do you know?”

“Because when I look into your stunning eyes, I’m happier than I’ve ever been in my entire life.”

She looks at me for a long heated moment and then takes a sip of her wi

ne.

“What are you cooking?” she eventually asks, changing the subject on me with a grin on her lips.

“Honey garlic chicken. Are you hungry?”

She smiles. “Starving.”

I’m laying in bed and staring at the ceiling as my bear continues pacing around inside me, huffing angrily every few seconds.

My girl is in the next room and he doesn’t understand why we can’t just go in there and take what belongs to us. He wants my hard cock in her young ripe pussy and he wants his mark on the soft supple flesh of her neck.

I’m not moving and it’s pissing him off.

Mark her! he hisses in my ear.

“Stop it,” I whisper back. “She’s not ready yet.”

He huffs out a frustrated breath as he starts thrashing around. This furry asshole is going to keep me awake all damn night.

The sweet scent of arousal starts drifting into my room and both me and my bear freeze. I inhale deeply, sucking in the hot intoxicating scent of Aubrey’s wet cunt into my lungs until my whole body is tingling. My cock turns to cement and my mouth waters as I breathe it in again.

Go in there! Claim her!

Every cell in my body is on fire as I imagine her in the other room, sliding her fingers in and out of her tight wet hole. I imagine the heat and the tightness. The creamy feel of her sticky syrup. The mouthwatering smell of her desire. The look of her bare tits heaving up and down with every breath as she rubs her hard little clit.

My hand creeps down to my throbbing cock and I pull it out of my boxer briefs as I picture her luscious pink lips parted as her back arches in pleasure. I start stroking my big dick as I wonder if she’s thinking about me while she masturbates. Is she thinking about my hard cock sliding into her? Is she hoping I’ll walk into her room and see what she’s up to?

Short gushes of pre-cum keep oozing out of my dick as I stroke myself harder. My balls are so full they’re aching and feel ready to explode.
