Bear Seeking Bride: Drew: (BBW Mail Order Bride Paranormal Shape Shifter Romance) (Bear Canyon Brides Book 5) Read online

  “What do you mean?”

  “Why are you escorting me out as if our date is over? Did I scare you with that kiss?”

  “Wait…what? Why do you think you scared me?”

  “I don’t know,” he sighed. “What’s going on?”

  “I thought…,” God, the look on his face seemed so tortured. He was either a really good actor, or she’d misunderstood his retreat earlier. “I thought you weren’t physically attracted to me, so I was letting you off the hook,” she said meekly.

  “Not physically attracted to you? Woman, are you insane?”

  “There’s no reason to insult me,” she snapped. “You broke the kiss and walked away from me unaffected. What was I supposed to think?”

  “Unaffected?” He grabbed her hand and placed it on his rock hard dick. “Does this feel like I’m unaffected? I had to get away, or risk fucking you on the kitchen counter. I figured we should talk first, you know, considering we’ve been avoiding each other for the past four years.”

  “You’ve been avoiding me,” she said, sliding her hand up and down his thick rod. “Not the other way around.”

  “Po-tay-toe, po-tah-toe,” he said, emphasizing the syllables while taking a step closer. “Don’t you think we should talk about it?”

  “Drew?”

  “Yes, Lily,” he said, taking another step.

  She allowed him to back her up against the wall, and a new wave of lust raced through her when she thought about how good it would feel to have him fuck her there.

  “Let’s talk later.”

  ***

  He’d tried to hold back, he really had, but he couldn’t deny her anything.

  He lowered his mouth to hers and when she wrapped her arms around his neck, he slid his hands under her ass and lifted her against the wall. Lily squealed, but she trusted him and encircled his waist with her legs.

  Her short, denim skirt rose up her thick, fleshy thighs and he got a peek at the pink lace she wore before he ground his cock against her nearly exposed pussy. There were too many layers of fabric separating them, and he held her up with his hips and ripped his polo shirt over his head.

  “Much better,” she said, sliding her hands over his chest and shoulders.

  “Your turn,” he said, pulling on the hem of her pink, frilly top.

  When she’d opened the door earlier, the first thing he’d noticed had been the way the top accentuated her large breasts. The second had been how easy it would be to lift her skirt up and taste her, and the third had been her red painted toenails.

  Lily was perfection in every way, but when her platinum blond hair and deep blue eyes combined with pink and red, she looked like a sex kitten and he wanted to make her purr. Of course, bears didn’t purr so he’d settle for a sexy growl instead.

  He’d wanted to make love to her instantly, but he’d known she would need time to adjust to their newfound relationship and vowed to take things slow.

  Obviously, that plan had gone out the window.

  Lily lifted her arms in the air, and he pulled the shirt off and dropped it onto the floor. It landed on top of his, and he momentarily wished he’d thrown it further so he could convince her of his desperate, wild need to fuck her.

  He growled when he saw her large breasts covered in the same pink lace that covered her mound, and he pulled the straps down to expose her creamy flesh. Her dark, rose colored nipples were hard, and they reminded him of fresh cherries ready to be devoured.

  He closed his mouth around one of the tempting fruits and sucked it deep into his mouth. Lily cried out, and he swirled his tongue around the sensitive flesh, grazed it with his teeth, and then released it. He moved to the other side and laved it with the same attention.

  She tightened her legs around his waist, pulling him closer, pressing his cock deeper between her lace covered folds, and rode him in tiny movements while squeezing her breasts together, pointing her nipples toward his mouth. His cock throbbed with every sound she made, and he sucked her tits until he felt he would explode.

  He released her nipple with a plop and rested his forehead against hers. She seemed confused at first, and then her cheeks reddened. She was beautiful, sexy and everything he wanted in a mate. He had no idea why she’d be embarrassed, but he didn’t give her the opportunity to second guess the last few minutes.

  “I need a minute,” he said. “Those noises you make are sexy as hell, but I want to come inside you, not in my pants. Hold on, we’re going to the bedroom.”

  She tightened her arms around him and he carried her to the other room. She slid up and down his cock with every step and by the time he walked the short distance, he was ready to rip her clothes off.

  He set her down next to the bed, and opened his pants. Lily stood there with her bra and skirt around her waist, and her lace covered pussy fully exposed.

  “If you don’t want me to rip those pretty pink panties off that fantastic ass of yours, then I suggest you get undressed now,” he said.

  She didn’t waste any time shedding her clothes and laying down on the bed, fully exposed. He pushed his pants and boxers down his legs, and his cock bobbed against his abs when he rose. Lily never glanced away as he crawled on the bed, and stalked toward her.

  “Shit,” he said, and jumped off the bed, putting as much distance between them as possible.

  “What’s wrong?” she asked.

  She’d pushed up on her elbows, and her breasts called to him in a way he couldn’t explain. He looked around for his boxers, desperate to cover up again and get himself under control. He’d drive to the store if she wanted him too, but he needed to get a grip first.

  “I don’t have a condom,” he said, pulling on the thin, plaid material.

  “I have some,” she said, and irrational anger surged through him.

  “Why?” he growled, removing his boxers again.

  “Why do you think?” she countered.

  They stared at each other, each unwilling to look away, until he decided to let it go. He didn’t want to know about her previous lovers any more than he wanted to tell her about his. The fact that she’d taken control of her life and took precautions to remain safe meant a lot. He wouldn’t admonish her for it. This was one battle he wouldn’t win.

  “Where are they?”

  “In the top drawer of the dresser, on the left hand side.”

  He opened the drawer and smiled when he took out the brand new, unopened box. If she’d used any, or if the box had been one of many stashed around the house, he didn’t want to know. He ripped open the box in triumph and the silver strips went flying around the room.

  She laughed as she watched him find one of the strips, rip off a foil packet, and roll the protection down his cock. When he rejoined her on the bed, her giggles disappeared and she opened her legs wide, inviting him in.

  He nudged her pussy with his cock, and sank the tip an inch into her warmth. Her muscles tightened and she trembled around him, pulling him in deeper. He pushed forward again, giving her time to adjust to his size, and she convulsed and sucked him deeper. He exercised every ounce of restraint he possessed until he was buried balls deep inside her channel.

  He stared down at her, and nearly came on the spot. She looked like a goddess with her hair spread out over her pillow, and her curvy body pressed against his in all the right places. He knew, without a doubt, that she’d been made for him, and he never planned on letting her go.

  They still had to talk, and he didn’t want to declare his love until she understood the depth of his feelings, so he said the next best thing.

  “You’re amazing, Lily, and absolutely perfect in every way.”

  She blushed again, but he didn’t let her speak. Instead, he kissed her lips slowly, and moved in and out of her cunt with the same deliberate and steady precision. She kissed him back with the same controlled movements, but when he left a wet trail down her chin and neck, she held his head in place and cried out when he licked the juncture between her
neck and shoulder.

  He wanted to mark her, more than anything, but they needed to have a discussion first, and he wouldn’t take away her right to refuse him.

  “Drew…please,” she begged.

  He didn’t know if she begged for his mark, or for release, but he decided on the second. He straightened his arms and moved his hips faster, pulling all the way out of her pussy before slamming back in again. The long steady strokes pushed her over the edge and she coated his cock with her honey three times before he allowed himself to slam deep one final time and come inside her.

  Several minutes later, she whimpered when he pulled away.

  “I’ll be right back, baby doll,” he said. “I need to get rid of the condom.”

  He cleaned up quickly, and rejoined her on the bed a minute later. She’d turned on her side, and he slid in bed behind her and dropped an arm around her waist.

  “That was wonderful,” she said, rubbing her ass against his still semi-hard cock.

  “Yes, it was,” he agreed.

  “You know,” she said, turning toward him. “If we go to the restaurant, we have to get dressed and wait around. A lot. But if we order in, we can stay naked until the food gets here.”

  She bit her lip, as if waiting for his decision, but it was a no brainer.

  “Will you be able to keep your hands off me long enough to talk?” he teased.

  “Ugh,” she rolled her eyes, “if I must.”

  “Good, because once we’re done talking, I want to fuck you again.”

  “Then you’d better hurry up and order the pizza,” she said, slithering away from him.

  “Where are you going?”

  “I’m starving,” she said, bouncing toward the door, “and I just remembered there’s a box of caramels waiting for me on the counter.”

  He laughed and dug his cell-phone out of his pants pocket.

  Chapter Three

  Lily closed her lips around the caramel in her mouth and smiled at Drew when he walked into the kitchen. He’d pulled on his pants, but his smooth chest was bare and she looked her fill without worrying about his censure or her brother’s teasing.

  “We have fifteen minutes,” he said, hugging her from the side and kissing the top of her head.

  Even though she stood naked in his arms, she didn’t feel the need to cover up, or hide her body from him. She didn’t even feel guilty for eating more than one caramel, even though she didn’t need any of them.

  “Did you order breadsticks, too?” she asked.

  “Yes, butter and parmesan,” he replied. “I know how much you love those.”

  “Mmm…yummy.”

  “Speaking of yummy,” he licked her neck, “what do I have to do to get one of those caramels?”

  “You’re crazy,” she said, placing the lid back on the box. “I’m not sharing.”

  “Oh really?” he said, tightening his arms around her. “I think I can persuade you.”

  She expected him to kiss her silly, but instead he started tickling her waist and she caved.

  “Fine,” she said between giggles, “you can have one.”

  “Only one?” he asked, his hands ready to attack again.

  “Some,” she said, breathlessly. “You can have some.”

  “Thank you, Lily,” he said, popping a chocolate into his mouth. “You are so kind.”

  “You play dirty,” she pouted, and then burst out laughing. “But I don’t mind.”

  She rose up on her tip-toes and kissed his chin.

  “Good,” he said, kissing her lips, “because I have some wonderful ideas for these caramels.”

  “I’ll just bet you do,” she said, holding the box close to her.

  The doorbell rang, and all of his teasing disappeared.

  “Get in the bedroom and close the door.”

  “It’s just the pizza guy,” she said, leading the way toward the hall. She’d intended to stay out of sight, but she didn’t think she needed to close the door. The man wasn’t coming inside the house.

  “Yes, but you’re naked and I don’t plan on letting him see all of your sinfully, sexy curves.”

  His palm swatted her ass hard, the crack echoing around the room.

  Smack!

  “Bedroom, now!”

  He didn’t have to tell her twice. She’d do anything he wanted, if he promised to spank her ass again.

  While she waited, she pulled back on her panties and added a long pajama shirt with a teddy bear hugging a heart on the front. When she heard the front door close, she rejoined him in the kitchen.

  “What would you like to drink?” she asked, gathering paper plates and napkins. “I have diet soda or water.”

  “Water is fine,” he said.

  She pulled a bottle of water out of the cabinet, grabbed herself a cold diet soda, and sat down across from him at the table.

  “Cute outfit,” he said, as she handed him a plate. “Are you okay?”

  “Yeah, why?” she asked, biting into her pizza.

  “Well, I spanked you and then you got dressed in a teddy bear shirt,” he stated seriously. “I know you had a difficult childhood, and I don’t want you to ever be afraid of me.”

  She would have laughed if he’d stopped at the teddy bear shirt comment, but the stuff about her childhood sobered her. She didn’t want to talk about it, but she knew she had to if they were going to try and have a relationship.

  “Drew, I could never be afraid of you. Even if whatever is between us doesn’t work out, Luke trusts you, and so do I. I like pajamas with cute cartoon animals on them, and I got dressed because we were going to eat, not because you spanked me. That…,” she took a deep breath, “I liked that very much.

  “I know Luke has told you a lot about what we went through, and I’m willing to answer any questions you have, but I don’t really like to talk about it. My memories are very different from his because he made me hide so my uncle would focus solely on him. I would come out afterward, see the damage, and do my best to make him smile. And he always smiled, for my sake, even when he didn’t want to. The one time I got hit, Luke nearly killed my uncle and that’s when we ran away.

  “Luckily, Joe found us. That old bear protected both of us, and I never had to worry about being safe again. My aunt and uncle were evil, Drew, but luckily Joe isn’t. Neither is Luke, and neither are you. I understand the difference between violence and foreplay.”

  “Come here,” he said, and scooted his chair back from the table.

  She stood and straddled his lap, pulling her nightshirt up around her thighs and exposing her pink lace panties again. When she saw his bulging cock between them, she reached down to stroke its length, but he captured her wrist in his hand.

  “I like these,” he said, and caressed her mound with his free hand.

  It was her turn to grab his wrist, and he stilled his fingers. He placed both of her hands on his shoulders and knotted his fingers around her waist.

  “I didn’t mean to upset you, but I needed to know how you felt about it,” he said, gently.

  “I know.”

  She appreciated his concern, and would have been more upset if he didn’t make sure she was okay, but she really wanted to move on.

  “There’s just one part of your explanation we need to discuss further.”

  “Okay.”

  God, when will this ever end?

  “You said, even if whatever is between us doesn’t work out…,” he paused.

  “Yeah, so?”

  “Not an option, baby doll. That’s what I wanted to talk to you about over dinner.”

  “I don’t understand.”

  Where is he going with this?

  “You’re mine, Lily. I want to date you, and then eventually mate and get married. The only reason I didn’t act sooner was because Luke told me to stay away from you—”

  “He did what?”

  Irrational rage surged through her and drowned out the mini celebration going on in her head. Drew want
ed her, and she’d wanted to jump for joy until he’d said her brother had kept them apart. She stood to call the dirty, rotten asshole and give him a piece of her mind, but Drew pulled her back down on his lap.

  “Wait, you little wild woman,” he said, laughing. “It was a misunderstanding. Apparently, he’d meant it when he said it, but not after we became best friends.”

  “Huh?” she asked.

  “He meant it when we met, back when the two of you first moved to Bear Canyon, but not later after he got to know me. The problem is, I held him to his word, and never pursued you. I don’t know about you, but the result for me has been four years of hell. Pretending I didn’t want you while walking around with a hard-on every time we were in the same room began to eat away at me until I couldn’t take it anymore. Yesterday, I realized you might be miserable, too, and I decided to confront him.”

  “What did he say?”

  “He basically called me an idiot, and gave us his blessing,” he admitted. “Joe approves, too, that’s why he asked me to drive you home yesterday.”

  “Really? He didn’t say anything to me last night, or this morning before he left.”

  “I think he was waiting for me to make my move.”

  “I like your moves,” she said, reaching for his cock.

  “Wait,” he said, grabbing her wrist again. When she stuck out her lower lip in a mock pout, he laughed. “We need to make sure we’re clear this time, baby doll. I want to date you, exclusively, and then when you’re ready, I want to mark you. What do you want?”

  “Oh, Drew,” she said, blinking away yet another bout of watery eyes. “I want exactly the same thing.”

  “Good, then kiss me,” he said.

  She lowered her head and placed her lips on his, and he pulled her close until her pussy was flush with his cock. She ground her hips against him, and enjoyed the pressure of his dick against her clit.

  Drew groaned and she continued to tease his mouth and his cock until he slid his hands under her ass and carried her to the bedroom.

  They made love three more times, stopping for food and water in between, before they took a much needed break and slept in each other’s arms until the next morning.
