Does a Bear Shift in the Woods (Bear Bites Book 4) by Ruby Dixon Page B

“Anyway, the guy became alpha, found his mate, and then asked me to join the two of them.”
    “He’s not your real mate then,” I declare. “He’s defective because true mates don’t want anyone but their mate. Mated threes exist, but it’s a mate bond that goes through all of them. He’s either not found his mate or can’t bond. And that’s on him, not you.”
    She rubs her lips together thoughtfully. “You think we’re mates?”
    “I know we are because only a true mate would be worth the pain of loss, and I know that not having you would be worse than living alone. You’re worth the risk to me, and I’ll spend the rest of my life convincing you that I’m worth the risk to you.”
    She struggles harder against her bonds, not because she wants to get away but because she wants to be close. I know her now. The mate bond is hardening. I shuck off my clothes and brace myself over her body.
    “You’re worth the risk to me,” she whispers.
    I reach between her legs to find her soaked pussy ready for me. I position the head of my cock at her entrance. “I love Maddie Thorne, and I will for the rest of my days want only you.”
    She gasps and arches toward me as I drive into her. “I want only you, Chance Eddington. My true mate. My true love.”
    Her words seize me by the balls. I dip a hand between us to find her precious little clit and work that as I jack into her. She trembles and shudders beneath me, finding her release quicker than I could have hoped for, and I follow her over that cliff of ecstasy where it’s only her and me and a blanket of euphoria.
    Yes, this is all worth the risk. She is worth the risk.
    “I never wanted a mate until you, Maddie,” I mutter as I move down her body, worshipping every spot of flesh available. “I’ll never want another mate.”
    And then I proceed to show her how much I want her, how much I need her, how much I love her.

AUTHOR’S NOTE

DOES A BEAR SHIFT IN THE WOODS
    I’m a loner for a reason. I don’t have much in the way of social skills. I’d rather sit on my deck and watch the sunset than hit a tavern with coworkers. My idea of grooming is to trim my beard with a straight blade when it hits my collarbone. I can’t put two words together in the company of a pretty woman…and they don’t come much prettier than wolf-shifter Madison Thorne.

    She’s everything I’m not—outgoing, easy on the eyes, and sweet. There’s no way I’m convincing her to come home with me. Fortunately I don’t have to. Maddie seems to like my gruff, unpolished self. At least, she likes me enough for one night.

    The problem is getting her to stay forever.

GET YOUR SHIFT TOGETHER
    I’ve been looking for a mate in all the wrong places. When the right one shows up in Pine Falls with a man in tow, I almost miss her. Caroline Abbott is a sweetheart of a city girl who is making one last stab at keeping her (dead) relationship together. When her fool of an ex takes off and leaves her alone in the forest, I’m more than happy to step into his abandoned shoes.

    While I can make her shout with pleasure, I worry those screams will turn to fear when she realizes that my hidden half is a bear.

    I can’t keep the secret much longer, but telling her might scare her off for good.
