Lucky Bear - Wild Bear 01 by Ruby Shae Page A

followed his orders and ran back into the bar. Finn didn’t have time to consider the odd behavior; he had a mate to care for. Belle’s cousin opened his phone and pressed the button to contact the police, and Finn carried his mate upstairs to his apartment.
    He laid Belle on the bed and took off her shoes, then he grabbed the ibuprofen, a glass and a bottle of water.
    “Here,” he said, placing the pills in her hand, and helping her sit up. He put a cup of water in her other hand. “Drink it all.”
    She followed his instructions and laid back down on the pillow. He ran his hands over her stomach and sides and she shrieked and tried to push him away. 
    “Oh my god, Finn, what are you doing?”
    “I’m making sure you’re not bleeding,” he said, firmly.
    She accepted his answer and stayed still until his search was complete. He left her side again to gather a washcloth and the first aid kit. He smiled as he remembered the first night they met.
    “Hey,” he said, dabbing the two cuts on her face, “you’re bleeding all over my bed.”
    She granted him a half smile before her face contorted and she let out a low growl.
    “I know it hurts, but it will help you heal faster.”
    She nodded, even as tears filled her eyes.
    “All done,” he said.
    She nodded again and stared at the ceiling.
    “Are you still in pain?” he asked.
    “A little. The medicine is working though. I’ll be fine soon.”
    “Good. Why didn’t you wait for me?”
    A lone tear escaped down her cheek, and he resisted the urge to wipe it away.
    “I saw you leave with that woman and I couldn’t bear it,” she whispered.
    “I didn’t go anywhere with anyone,” he said. “I was babysitting her and two others Gabe led back there. I also had to break up a fight in the women’s restroom and wait for the police. I’ve been telling you from day one that you’re mine, and yet this is the second time on the same day that you’ve doubted me.”
    “You said you wanted a break,” she said, accusingly.
    “No, I said we needed to take a break and slow down because you still don’t trust me,” he explained. “I realized we were moving too fast and you probably need a longer courtship. I was trying to do the right thing.”
    “Oh.”
    Silence stretched between them and he knew she still didn’t get it. Maybe his bear had been right all along.
    “You’re not going to let me go home tonight, are you?” she asked.
    “Nope.”
    “Okay, I’m going to take a shower.”
    She sat up and he helped her stand, confident she could make it to the restroom on her own. She closed the door and he weighed his options.
    His words didn’t matter because they’d been used for lies in the past. His touch didn’t matter because she didn’t believe herself beautiful. His actions didn’t matter because she suspected him of an alternate agenda.
    He couldn’t seem to catch a break in his human form, but if he let his bear rise to the surface, she wouldn’t be able to run from the truth.
    He stood, stripped off his clothes and followed her into the bathroom. The frosted glass doors on the square shower were full of steam, but he could still see her soft, curvy silhouette. His dick hardened to the point of pain, and his bear grunted in approval. He pulled open the glass door and joined her inside the cube.
    “Finn, what are you doing in here? We both don’t fit!” she squealed.
    “The hell we don’t,” he said, forcing her back against the wall.
    She didn’t object, or try to run, and he proceeded to take what they both needed.
    He bent down in front of her, slid his arms between her legs, looping her knees over his forearms, and lifted her off the floor. She gasped and held onto his shoulders, but she didn’t say a word as he raised her off the ground. His cock found the entrance to her pussy and he entered her in one swift thrust, pinning her to the wall.
    Her pussy tightened around him, and her honey gushed out and mixed with the water
