Hard (The Bear Chronicles of Willow Creek #2) (5 page)

“Shut up, asshole,” I grunt out while flipping him the bird.

Laughing, he just shakes his head at me. “I don’t know why you’re fighting it, Eli. There’s nothing you can do about changing what the fates have decided. You know as well as I do that she was made for you. The sooner you accept it, the sooner you can get on with your happily ever after and stop being such a miserable dick.”

Shaking my head, I lean forward slightly before growling out, “It’s not that damn easy and you bloody know it. What the hell would I tell my father, Ethan? You know he would never accept her into the family after everything that happened to my mother.”

“I know it will be hard, Eli, but you can’t resist your calling with this. It’s out of your control, and your father will have no choice but to get over it.”

“Whatever, Ethan. Not everything is so damn cut and dry. Are you finding somewhere to stop or not? I need to get out of this car for a while.”

“Yeah.” He sighs. “I’ll stop at the next place I see.”

Deciding that I would rather deal with the pounding in my head than continue going back and forth with Ethan, I stare back out at the darkness outside of the car.

Thirty minutes later, Ethan is pulling into a motel on the side of the highway. Glancing around, I take a moment to access our surroundings before saying, “Here? Seriously?”

“Hey, it’s not the Plaza, but I can’t take much more of driving in the dark, so this is where it’s going to have to be.”

Figuring he’s onto something, I gently nudge Liza in an attempt to wake her up. “Liza, we’re stopping for the rest of the night. Time to get up.”

Lazily, she sits up and blinks her eyes a few times in an attempt to wake up. Turning toward me, she gives a slight smile before saying, “Sorry for falling asleep on you. I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable.”

Leaning forward, I place a gentle kiss on her forehead. I just can’t seem to help myself. Liza awake is stunning, but a sleepy Liza is absolutely breathtaking. “No worries. I fell asleep, too, so it couldn’t have bothered me that much.”

Smiling up at me, she asks, “Where are we?”

“Honestly, I have no damn idea,” I respond with a laugh as I pass her a bag.

“Oh, well, I guess as long as there’s a bed, it doesn’t really matter where we sleep,” she says as she opens the door and climbs out.

Grabbing my own bag, I don’t bother to wait for Ethan to wake up Amelia, and climb out of the car and begin stretching my own legs. Finally, after a few minutes of waiting while they kissed, Ethan and Amelia climb out as well.

“I’ll go grab us a couple of rooms for the night,” Ethan says, giving Amelia’s ass a loving swat before looking at me. “You stay here with the girls.”

Nodding, I continue to work on stretching out the cramps in my legs as the girls do the same. Out of the corner of my eye, I notice Liza arching her back in an attempt to stretch. Instantly, my eyes drop down to her perky tits that are now sticking straight out for the whole world to see. I swear, the only way I could resist the temptation of enjoying the view before me is if I were dead. The more she stretches, the higher her shirt rides up, until I can see the silky tanned skin of her stomach peeking out.

The sight of that tiny patch of skin causes my mouth to water and my cock to stir. I have always had a fairly healthy sexual appetite, but nothing compared to the feelings I’m having now. It’s as if I’ve become ravenous with the need to take her.

Just as I’m attempting to adjust the boner in my pants, I notice a sleaze ball walking up to the girls. He’s obviously six sheets to the wind.

“Hey, ladies. What are two pretty girls like yourselves doing out here all alone?” he slurs as he stumbles toward them. 

Immediately, the girls are on alert and begin to step closer to each other. Looking at Liza, I can tell right away that she is uncomfortable with being approached by this jerk, and that fact alone causes me to see red.

Stepping around the car, it takes me only a couple of strides before I’m standing in front of Liza. My posture screams defensive, yet the asshole in front of me seems to be completely oblivious to the fact that the girls aren’t the only ones here.

Continuing to walk toward us, he keeps up attempting to sweet talk them. No longer able to control my rage, I step forward and fist my hand into his shirt before giving him a rough shake.

“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?” I bark out in question.

Seeming to finally realize that I am in fact with the girls, his head snaps up before he begins stuttering out his apologies. “My bad, man. I didn’t realize they were with anyone.”

“Well, they are, so get the fuck out of here,” I growl as I shove him away from us. 

He’s so intoxicated; he can’t seem to find his balance and begins to stumble over his own feet before falling to the ground. He may be taking a moment to regain his composure, but the fact that I can still see this asshole leaves me seething. Taking a step forward, I begin to reach for him, when I suddenly feel a tiny lush body wrapping around my back.

“Leave him, Eli,” Liza whispers. “He’s drunk. Just leave him be. We’re fine.”

At that same moment, Ethan rounds the hood of the car and asks, “What the fuck is going on here?”

Ignoring him, I reach down and sling my bag over my shoulder before grabbing a hold of Liza’s hand and dragging her toward Ethan. Without even a word of acknowledgement, I snag the key card out of his hand and tear off in the direction of the hotel room listed on the card envelope.

It only takes Liza a moment before she begins tugging on my hand in an attempt to slow me down. “Eli, what the hell are you doing? Let go of me.”

No longer in the mood to deal with any of this shit, I stop abruptly and turn on my heel before bending down and slinging her over my shoulder.

Placing a slap on her ass, I say, “I’m done playing now, Liza. It’s time I show you who you belong to.”

Pounding her tiny fists on my back, she yells out, “What the fuck are you talking about, you ass? I don’t belong to anyone.”

“Oh, yes, you do, Angel, and I’m about to show you exactly who that someone is,” I growl as I slam open the hotel room door.

Tossing her onto the bed, I waste no time flinging my bag off of my shoulder. She scrambles up the bed in an attempt to get away from me, but little does she realize I can smell the lust pouring off of her.

Grabbing onto her ankles, I slide her back toward me before sliding my hands up the soft skin of her bare legs. Blanketing her body with my own, I lean down and begin to devour her mouth with my own. Instantly, I’m assaulted by her taste, which is a combination of strawberries and cream from her lip-gloss.

Pulling back, she looks up at me, her big green eyes showing her obvious confusion. “What are you doing?” she pants.

“I’m doing what I should have done the very first moment I met you. I’m claiming what’s rightfully mine.”

No longer interested in talking, I slam my lips back down on hers. It takes next to no convincing on my part to have her slipping her tongue deep into my mouth.

Sliding my hands over her body, I fist her shirt in both of my hands and tug, tearing it from her body. The second the offending material is pulled away, her luscious tits are directly in front of me, leaving me no choice but to begin kneading the supple flesh. 

Throwing her head back, she releases a long, needy groan. “Oh my God, Eli, what are we doing?” she asks, letting out another moan.

“I already told you, Angel. I’m taking what’s mine. I need to know that you’re covered in my scent. I need to know without a shadow of a doubt that anyone who gets within ten feet of you will know you’re mine.”

Looking up at me with a lust-filled gaze, she slides her hands over her breasts before releasing the front clasp on her black, lacy bra. “Right now, Eli, I’ll be anything you want. Just take me,” she pleads as she arches up toward me.

Releasing a growl, I move forward and latch my mouth onto one of her hard nipples and begin suckling it like a starving man. As I continue to feast on her gorgeous tits, she begins hungrily tearing at my shirt in an attempt to remove it. 

Standing up, I whip the material off and throw it to the side before reaching forward and fumbling with the button of her shorts. I’m so blinded by need and lust; I no longer seem to be in control of my body, and after struggling to get her out of her clothes, I decide I can’t wait even a moment longer and tug until the button goes flying across the room.

As soon as the button is no longer an obstacle, I fist the waist of her shorts in my hands and tug them and her panties off of her legs in one smooth move.

The moment she is bared to me, I am assaulted by her scent. Releasing a groan, I take a second to lean forward and place a tender kiss upon her lips.

“I’m sorry, Angel, but I can’t control it anymore. I need you. I have to take you now, and it’s going to be fast and hard. I promise I’ll make it up to you after, but I have to be buried inside of you right this instant.”

Slipping her fingers into my waist band, she dips them into my pants just enough to brush her fingertips across the tip of my dick. When I feel her touch on my cock, I throw my head back and moan. The animalistic need I feel to claim her is so strong I can actually feel the shift begin to take over as my bear pushes himself forward.

No longer willing to wait, I rip her hand out of my pants and flip her over on the bed. My cock weeps as I stare at her gorgeous ass up in the air, ready and waiting for me. Tearing the pants from my body, I blanket her back with my chest and begin to slide my weeping cock back and forth between her wet folds.

“God, Eli, yes. Please, take me now,” she moans, gasping for air.

Unwilling and unable to control my need any longer, I drop to my knees on the floor behind her and burry my face in her pussy, causing her to yell out in ecstasy.

The second I taste her juices upon my tongue, I feel my fingertips begin to burn as my claws slide out. My need is leaving me unable to control myself, and because of that, I need to make this quick. The quicker I claim her as mine, the sooner my bear will calm and give me back control of my body.

With one last long lick to her pussy, I stand up and grab onto her hips. Careful not to scratch her with my claws, I dig my fingers into her skin. The moment she begins to wiggle her ass back and forth in anticipation, I’m a goner. Slamming into her with one swift glide, I bury myself balls deep in her silken pussy.

Stopping for a minute, I place my forehead on her back and place a few wet kisses along her spine before asking, “You all right, Angel?”

“Fuck, Eli, yes. Please, just move. I need you to move,” she groans.

Taking her words as my cue to keep on, I gently pull back until just the tip of my cock is still inside of her tight pussy. Catching her off guard, I slide back into her with so much force that my balls actually slap against her clit.

The second I feel her pussy clamp down on my dick, all bets are off and I become a wild man, slamming into her over and over again with only one thing on my mind. Marking her as mine.

Screaming out with the force of her orgasm, I feel her pussy spasming repeatedly around my dick. The realization that my body has just brought her to this height causes me to lose control of my own impending orgasm.

Sliding back into her body once more, I tear myself from her heat and begin to furiously jerk my cock until I’m coming in long jets all over her ass and back.

The moment the last pulse of cum leaves my dick, I reach forward and begin rubbing my essence into her flesh, causing her to moan out.

Releasing a sigh of relief, I collapse beside her and place a kiss on her temple.

Pulling back, I take a moment to stare deep into her gorgeous eyes before I say, “Now no one will ever doubt that you are mine forever.”

Chapter Eight

Liza

THE SUNLIGHT
streams through the window of the hotel room, waking me up. Slowly blinking my eyes open, the first thing I notice is the warm masculine body wrapped around me. The feel of his skin against mine causes flashes of desire to course throughout my body.

How I can still feel the need to take him is beyond me. We literally went at it like a couple of horny teenagers last night, yet it’s still not enough. Every muscle in my body aches in the most delicious way, but I’m still left feeling hollow. It’s as if, in the span of one night together, I have built up this deep-seated need to be connected to him in the most primal of ways.

Lying here, I close my eyes and wonder what the hell I am doing. How on earth does a person fall for someone who is essentially a stranger so fast? It’s just not normal, nor is it me. The realization that I need him this badly is enough to make me run off screaming down the road.

I’ve always prided myself on how well I stand on my own two feet. But lying here with Eli wrapped around me leaves me feeling completely off kilter. The very thought of not having this connection with him is enough to cause me have a panic attack.

Grabbing a hold on the arm he has wrapped tightly around my waist, I gently lift it and slide to the edge of the bed. The second we aren’t skin-to-skin, he begins to stir, causing me to bolt from the bed in search of my bag.
