tone.
“See you later.” Cosmo hung up and headed back to the bedroom. Seeing her there naked against the sheets; nothing was better than this. He hoped she didn’t freak out.
Chapter 14
Andy felt his mouth on her first. He was suckling her breasts while one of his hands was playing with her clit. He strummed her with such sureness, she wondered how many women he had been with to learn that technique. Of course, she would never ask him that. The past should be left in the past. He was with her now, and that was all that mattered.
She groaned when he removed his fingers. “Don’t stop.”
“Oh, I won’t.”
She watched him move over her and settle in the cradle of her thighs. It felt so right—this was where he was meant to be, and this was where she was supposed to be, welcoming him into her body, her heart, and her soul. They had more than shared sex, they shared a part of themselves so completely that she felt like a different person; she felt like a part of Cosmo. It was a little scary.
All thoughts left her when he entered her with slow deliberateness. She looked up into his black eyes and was entranced. No one looked at her the way he did—as if she were the most precious thing to him. She loved that. She felt her heart flutter as she realized that she was falling in love with him.
She stopped thinking and just let herself feel what he was doing to her. She wasn’t sure how long this would last, but she wasn’t going to miss out on one single moment.

Four hours later
“Where are we going?” Andy sat in the passenger side of Cosmo’s truck and looked at the unfamiliar landscape getting increasingly icy and with a heavier snow cover. He was acting very strange. They had a wonderful morning of loving and then he turned to her, telling her to dress warmly because he was taking her somewhere special.
“We’re here.” He pulled the truck off the main road onto what looked like a small path through the trees.
“Where?” She looked at him, confused, when he parked the truck and got out. He walked around to her side and opened the door.
“You came to research and try to discover the secrets of the North Pole. I’m going to show you the biggest secret here.” He gave her his hand to take to get out of the truck.
“What secret?”
“It was never an abominable snowman. Hell, there’s no such thing as an abominable snowman.”
“Oh, you’re talking about the rumors. What was it then?”
He took her hand and led her a few feet down the path. “Shifters. The hunters that stumbled down the wrong path came across shifters.”
She stopped walking and looked up at him, confused. “As in werewolves?”
“Werewolves are only one type of shifter. What those hunters witnessed was much bigger than werewolves.”
“What were they?” She was having a hard time believing what he was saying. It was crazy talk. The kind of that landed people in the insane asylum.
“Polar bear shifters.”
She laughed. She couldn’t help it. It was the most ridiculous thing she had ever heard of. “Polar bear shifters? That is not…” She watched in shock as Cosmo began to take off his clothes. “What are you doing? You’re going to freeze to death.” She was scared now. He was acting so bizarre. “I think we should head back…” She froze, watching as Cosmo seemed to be growing in height and weight.
“Don’t be frightened of me. I would never hurt you, Andy,” he said with a much deeper voice.
She heard popping sounds as his joints moved and his muscles grew larger. Fur started to come out of his skin. He threw his head back and his nose and mouth stretched out, forming a muzzle. That’s when she screamed and started to run. She could hear him chasing her. He was getting closer. Had he brought her out here to kill her? Eat her? She almost felt his breath on the back of her neck. The next thing she knew she was shoved from behind and she fell into the deep
