her on her
back, he pinned her wrists to the mattress and laved his tongue down
every inch of her soft, curvy body.
Growling, he spread her sweet
thighs and buried his face between her legs. His tongue lapped
greedily at her wet, sticky pussy, tasting and savoring every drop of
her juices. He pushed his tongue into her slit and penetrated her.
When he rubbed his thumb over her engorged clit, she came hard
against his mouth. She was so sensitive, so responsive and so
fucking sexy.
Crying out, she shuddered and
fisted the sheets as her muscles clenched and rippled. Josh pushed
her legs wider apart and nudged the head of his throbbing cock into
her pussy.
“Open your eyes,
Bella,” he commanded. “I want you to look at me as I
enter you for the first time.”
Bella blinked rapidly and
focused on him. Josh looked deeply into her eyes as he inched his
cock into her body. He didn't release her gaze until he was fully
inside her.
His forehead fell forward
against hers, and he whispered, “God, Bella, you feel so
good...”
She glanced down at their
joined bodies and inhaled sharply. They fitted together perfectly,
and the sight was erotic and beautiful.
Wrapping her legs around his
hips, Bella cupped his face and whispered, “Take me, Josh.”
CHAPTER
TWENTY-THREE
With a ragged breath, Josh
began to move. His rhythm was slow and gentle at first as he made
love to her. He felt her orgasm silently in his arms as he stroked
steadily into her.
Once he felt her tight walls
rippling around his cock, Josh began to thrust harder and deeper into
her luscious body. Bella arched her back and cried out as she
abandoned herself to another powerful climax. Josh's bear was
roaring and beating its animal chest with pride. He had made his
mate orgasm repeatedly, and he was determined to make her shatter one
final time beneath him.
Pounding into her, he bent
his head and sucked hard on her nipple. Bella panted and threw back
her had. She shivered and screamed in ecstasy as she shattered, her
pussy clenching and milking his cock relentlessly.
Josh roared and bit into her
shoulder as he released his seed deep into her body.
She was his. His mate, his
life and his future.
Holding her, he murmured into
her hair as she fought to catch her breath.
He kissed her and felt her
lips curve against his mouth. “Do you know how beautiful you
are?” he murmured.
Her smile broadened when she
felt him grow hard again. His hunger for her was insatiable.
“Yes. Yes I do,”
she said confidently.
Josh grinned. “That's
my girl.”
Resting her head on his
chest, she traced her finger down his abdomen and back up to his
shoulder. She sat up abruptly and made him lie on his belly.
As she ran her fingers down
his back, she asked softly, “Can you...talk to me about these
scars?”
Josh tensed as he felt her
fingertips brush over his criss-crossing scars. Some of the scars
had faded over the years, but there were some wounds that were too
deep. Those scars never faded.
Taking a deep breath, he
closed his eyes to try to block out the memories, but still, the
horrific images came unbidden to the front of his mind.
“When Jax and I were
cubs, our mother was killed and we were captured by a bear tamer,
Bazl. Bazl tortured and brutalized us, and forced us to perform in a
circus. He beat us so savagely that he damaged Jax's ear forever.
It's my fault. If I had protected Jax, he wouldn't be deaf in one
ear now.”
Bella put a hand on his
shoulder but she didn't speak. Josh forced his anger down and went
on, “Marcus saved us. He was working in the circus at the
time, and he witnessed Bazl's cruelty. He rescued us and the three
of us ran away together. We came to Shadow Point, and Marcus got to
know Nick. They started Beck's Builders. Marcus is our big brother.
Jax and I owe our lives to him.”
Bella wrapped her arms around
him and said, “You may lash out at me, but I'm going to say it.
It's not your fault, Josh. What happened to your
