orgasm was slow and
warm but lasted forever. When he filled her, he instinctively knew they’d just
created new life together. And as she rested her head on his shoulder
afterward, he held her close.
“I’m glad it was you,” she
said again, making his whole life worth living.

“Oh, my God. I’m about to
crawl the fucking walls.”
Rhea polished off the last
pork rib her mom had left on a plate by the door and wiped her mouth. “We could
leave any time, you know. It’s at least five hours between each heat wave now.
I think we could—”
“No fucking way,” Brick
growled as he continued to prowl and pace the room. If she didn’t know any
better, she’d swear he had some cat in him. Bears didn’t usually get this
restless. In fact, couldn’t they sleep in one spot for weeks at a time?
“We’ve only had five days of
this. Aren’t mating heats supposed to last like two weeks? I want my full two
weeks of nothing but you. And besides, you’re dad’s going to kill me the minute
we walk out of this room. I’d like to prolong my life for as long as possible,
thank you very much. Even if it’s only for a few days longer.”
Rhea sighed. “He’s not going
to—”
“You didn’t see his face the
first time I marked you. I swear to God, Rhea. He’s going to kill me.”
“You know what you need?” She
strolled to him and took his face in her hands.
He let out a delicious growl
and his eyes heated with desire. Stepping in closer to her, he guessed, “To
fuck you against this wall?”
“Mmm.” She licked her lips.
“That too. But first...you need to let your animal out to play, baby. You
haven’t done that once since my heat started. The poor guy probably feels
suffocated.”
Brick let out a bitter laugh.
“Yeah right. My huge bumbling bear would rip this poor, tiny room to shreds.”
With a grin, Rhea rubbed her
nose against his. “It’s too bad you don’t have a smaller animal...like mine.”
Leaping away from him, she morphed into her jaguar and gave him a hiss before
vaulting around the room.
He shook his head and
chuckled. “Cut it out, you tease. You know I can’t...”
But Rhea refused to relent.
No mate of hers was going to suffer from cabin fever. Darting close enough to
slide her tail along his leg, she zipped away again, knowing the predator in
him wouldn’t be able to deny her blatant challenge to a hunt.
Looking up at the ceiling, he
tapped his toe and folded his arms over his chest. “Nope,” he said to the
ceiling. “Not going to do. Not going to fall for that one.”
So Rhea did it again, rubbing
her hindquarters against his thigh this time. When she tried to escape him
again, he lunged after her. “Damn it,” he muttered, making her laugh in her
head because she knew she was winning. “That tail is mine, kitten.”
He pounced, literally pounced
after her. Rhea took off in delight, loving the chase. She glanced back,
knowing he’d be in his animal form. But she was expecting to see a bear...not
another jaguar.
Letting out a startled
scream, she tripped on a rug and went tumbling forward, landing in her naked
human form. “What the hell?” she squawked trying to sit up and whirl around at
the same time. But Brick had returned to his human form as well.
“Baby?” His eyes were worried
as he crouched beside her. “Are you okay? What’s wrong?”
She shook her head, only able
to gape at him. “I...you...Did you just turn into a... jaguar ?”
He pulled back, staring at
her as if she’d gone insane. “No. You know my animal’s a bear.”
“But...no.” She swung her
head back and forth. “A bear was not what was chasing me just now. It was a
freaking jaguar.”
He sat back on his haunches,
just staring at her. “Are you sure?”
“Umm... yeah . It’s kind
of hard to confuse a jaguar with a bear.”
“But...” Now he was the one
shaking his head. “Okay, I was wishing I could be a jaguar when I leapt after
you, but...I’m a
