“Yeah, I never got that. I thought it was all BS.”
“What do you think now?”
She decided not to pretend. “We’re mated, and nothing can stop or break it. I feel like we’re a part of each other.”
“I’m glad you admit it.”
She punched him in the chest, and he pretended it hurt.
“Sakura, my beast is the kind that would hunt the earth looking for his mate and find her. Period. He will kill without remorse to keep her safe. Nobody had to tell me that. I know it. The emotions from that desire are, I guess you can say…intense. I haven’t controlled them all the way yet, so I’m asking you. I’m begging you, let me be enough.”
“You already are, and you’ve been for a long time, even before we changed.” She turned away, but he drew her around again, capturing her attention.
“Sakura.”
“Yeah?”
“I’m a bear.”
She opened her mouth to make a quip but snapped her teeth together a second later. A bear shifter, like Shiya’s lovers? Had they done this to him? She frowned, thinking she should have gone to Juneau to kill them long before now. “You’re telling me you are a polar bear shape-shifter, and right now if I asked you to, you could change into this massive beast with white fur all over your body?”
He blinked at her, and then his expression cleared. “I’m not a polar bear. Let me explain from the beginning.”
He told her every detail of his trip to Alaska, his conversation with a man named Birk, and his flight to Texas. Sakura had a problem when the story turned to Laila, and she told him so. “She wants you. I heard her propositioning you in that spa at the Acqualina.”
“You were there?”
“You didn’t smell me?” She smirked.
Guilt reflected in his expression, and Sakura was ready to go find Laila. “She kept pushing. I was dealing with a lot. Remember I told you about the emotions? They were out of control. Trust me, I smelled you everywhere, so if I picked up your scent at that hotel, I thought it was a figment of my imagination.”
“Well, just like you, Adam, I don’t want her touching you. I’ll make it clear you’re mine real quick.”
“She’s a bear, Sakura. I don’t want you provoking her.”
“And what? I can’t take her because I’m a lowly fox?”
“I didn’t say that.”
“You didn’t have to.”
He drew her onto his lap, straddling his hips. Since they were both still naked, her pussy pulsed being inches from his cock, and she dared not look down because something told her he’d gone hard.
“I know you can give her a run for her money, and she would come out of a fight with you wounded or dead. I’ve seen you in action, remember? But we haven’t come across a lot of large animals, and every time we did, I was there. You have to admit, they’re harder to take down. Laila is—we are—grizzlies.”
“A—A grizzly.” Her mouth fell open. She thought of the predatory animal that even the smallest ones at three hundred pounds could run off a twelve hundred pound polar bear. Birk hadn’t turned him.
A storm of emotions swirled through Sakura’s head, not to mention the probabilities and possibilities of being mated or married—or whatever one wanted to call it—to a grizzly bear. In nature, she would be his lunch.
“Not to mention kids,” she murmured, tugging at her hair.
“What?” Adam caught her hands and brought them down to her sides. His gaze left her face and traveled to her belly as if he imagined it swollen with his child.
“Don’t even,” she grumbled. “We’re too different.”
“That was your excuse before we became shifters.”
“No, it was that I saw you as the newbie I helped train. Now you’re—”
