Bear with Me (Half-breed Shifter Series) by Miranda Stowe

could never hurt him with any kind
of rejection. And besides, it was the complete truth.
    He let out a whimper and bit
her on the neck, remarking her all over again. And not because he had
to—because the itching need to mark a mate only came over a shifter once in
their life—but because he wanted to. Joy swelled in her breasts. He wanted her,
he truly wanted her.
    The re-sealing of their bond
triggered an orgasm, and as her body shuddered, her own canines elongated. The
first part of him she saw was his arm where he had his hand braced in the
mattress by her face, so she leaned toward him and bit his wrist, tasting his
essence and coming even harder as he shouted out his triumph and filled her
with his seed.

 
     
    Chapter Five
     
     
    Five minutes after Rhea had
bit him, Brick was still floating off his mating high. She’d fucking bit him,
marking him as hers just as he’d marked her as his. Lifting his hand, he
studied the petite bite mark on his wrist. Damn, even that looked sexy. But
then, his Rhea couldn’t do a thing that didn’t look hot.
    She turned onto to her side,
facing him. And yep, that was hot too. With a big happy grin, she rolled her eyes.
“You are way too obsessed with that mark.”
    “I’m thinking about cutting
off my arm and dry-freezing it so I can have this sucker framed.”
    “Yuck! I refuse to hang body
parts on my wall...or have a one-armed mate.”
    He glanced over at, her his
mouth falling open. My wall ? “Shit. That’s right. We will be living
together after this, won’t we?” Then he cringed. “Damn, I don’t know about
that. It’s going to be hard living with a slob like you.”
    Okay, fine. So he was the
slob and she was the neat freak.
    “Oh... you .” Rhea
grabbed a pillow and slapped him in the face. He growled and leapt on her,
tackling her onto her back onto the bed, and pinning her down with his body.
    His cock hardened, but he
didn’t slide inside her when she whimpered and opened her legs for him.
Instead, he just studied her face, amazed this was really happening. Expecting
to wake up any second, he grabbed a handful of sheets and swooped the blanket
over their heads until they were tented under it and covered completely.
    “Remember when we used to
make blanket forts together in your parents living room?”
    She nodded, her blue eyes
alive with delight as she grinned up at him. “Dane and Brynn would always poop
out and leave way before we did.”
    “One night, we stayed up
late, laying on our stomach and facing each other while we rested our chins in
her hands and talked until dawn.”
    “I remember,” she whispered,
her eyes alight with affection. “I swear we talked about everything that
night.”
    He shook his head. “Not
everything. I never did tell you how much I wanted to kiss you that night. Or
do this.”
    He sank his cock into her
slowly, and her eyes widened as her body accepted him, hugging his length tight
in her womb.
    “I never actually thought
that wish would come true.” He pulled his cock almost all of way out before he
gradually eased back in. Hesitantly, he leaned down and hovered his mouth over
hers, waiting for her to accept him again, almost expecting her rejection.
    Except his Rhea had never
been able to reject him. Not even when he’d stolen her right to pick her own
mate. She looped her arms around his neck and lifted her mouth to press it
against his. His tongue wetted the seam of her lips, and she opened, letting
him in, accepting more of him.
    God, he loved her.
    Slowly working his tongue and
cock in rhythm, going in and out at the same time, Brick made love to his mate,
wanting her to feel every single inch of him. She wrapped her legs around his
waist and dug her heels into his ass. Hauling her into his arms, he sat them
upright so she was straddling his lap. The sheets slipped down over his
shoulders but their bodies remained united.
    He filled her until heat
spread up from his balls and out the tip of his dick. This
