“The bear?”

“Yes, the bear. I didn’t want to kill it,” he says, tears pooling in his eyes, “I was so fucking scared it was going to kill you.” He grabs for me, even though there is barely an inch of space between us.

Burying his face in my neck, I feel the warmth of his tears. His body shakes as he takes in a hard, ragged breath.

“I can’t lose you,” he desperately pleads. “Not here, not ever.”

It’s like he can hear my thoughts, pulling them from me and saying them out loud. I can’t lose him either. Our connection has grown stronger every day we’ve spent out here, and the thought of ever being without him, makes my entire body ache.

He stands up, taking me with him, and I wrap my legs around his waist. Stepping inside the cabin, he sets me down.

“Don’t fucking move,” he commands, pointing at me as he moves to pick up the shotgun and the shells, but his eyes never leave mine. “No more going to the bathroom alone. You don’t leave this cabin without me. Got it?” he adds, locking eyes with me.

“As long as the same rules apply to you,” I tell him, smiling a little, but still feeling like my heart has been ripped from my chest.

“Are we really doing this snarky thing you do even after what just happened?”

“Are you really going to argue with me even after what just happened?” I reply, repeating the last part of his words back to him.

I watch as Alex grabs the shotgun, placing it next to the door. He then leans down and scoops up the shells, kicking the door closed behind him. He never looks away from me, his face almost angry as he places the handful of shells on the counter.

My heart begins to race as he stalks over to me, swallowing hard, right before he reaches me. His body collides with mine, pulling me hard against his chest.

“Will you ever just do what I fucking tell you to?” he growls, his hands tangling in my hair, making me moan out loud.

“No, never,” I deadpan, my fingers sliding slowly under his shirt. The warmth of his skin pulls goosebumps over my entire body, sending me into a desperate need for him to end this push and pull we’ve had going on.

“Good,” he hisses, and his mouth connects with mine in a harsh, reckless kiss. I moan again when his tongue finds mine, wanting him more than I ever have.

“Don’t stop,” I call out as he sucks hard at my neck, his hand grabbing my ass. My head falls back, exposing my neck to him even more.

“Never,” Alex growls, lifting me up, and walking toward the mattress.

ALEX

Fuck not rushing things.

I am fucking done with not rushing, and I don’t care if that’s what messed things up last time, because after what happened this morning, Ican’twait anymore.

“Laney,” I groan, holding her tight in my arms as I stop beside the mattress, her name sounding like a desperate plea as it falls from my mouth. “God,fuck, I need you, needthis.”

I’m begging, pleading with her for something I know we probably shouldn’t do but which I now feel powerless to stop. But I also need to know she’s with me in this, that if we do this, it’s because it’s something we both want.

Because doing this means everything is going to change. And even though that scares the hell out of me, I want it so fucking badly. And I can’t pretend I don’t anymore.

“Alex,” she moans, her hands under my flannel, pushing it up as she claws at my skin. “Yes, yes.” She sounds as desperate as I am, and I know there is definitely no stopping this now.

We tear at each other’s clothes, an urgency to our movements as we hurry to undress each other. I never stop kissing her, my mouth on hers, on her tear-stained cheeks, her jaw, her neck, her collarbone. I feel like I can’t get close enough to her, even as we strip each other down until we’re finally naked, standing with our chests pressed together, both of our hearts pounding.

She pushes me backward, her teeth tugging at my bottom lip as my legs bump into the chair and I fall into it. Delaney immediately straddles my lap, her mouth still on mine as her hand grips my dick, holds me in position and she lowers herself onto me.

“Fuuuuckk,” I groan, the feeling of being inside her again, with nothing between us, unlike anything I’ve ever felt before. “Holy fuck, Laney.”

She presses her mouth against mine, her breathing already ragged as she rides me hard and fast, kissing me even harder. My hands grip her hips, my thumb moving to her clit and punishing her the same way she’s punishing me. But even as I think that, I know this isn’t punishment, it’s not even hate fucking.

This is something more, something different. Something that’s driven by fear and frustration and that feeling of helplessness that constantly lingers in the background and was only amplified this morning when that fucking bear appeared.
