Loving the Bear (7 page)

Chapter Ten

Christopher knew he’d broken the speed limit, twice. He might even have gone through a stop light or two. It wasn’t just sex he was anticipating, but that fact it would be with Lilly.

His hand sho
ok as he put the key in the lock of his front door. He turned to her before they went over the threshold. “You’re sure about this?”

She nodded.
“I’m ready. I don’t think I would be with anyone else, but you’re the greatest man I’ve ever met and yes, I want to do this, right here, right now.”

She ran her hand down the side of his face, making his skin tingle and his cock grow harder.

He took her in his arms. “I’m going to be gentle with you.”

“I know an
d that’s why I’m not scared anymore.”

“Let’s go into my bedroom and close the door so we can have some privacy.”

They both looked down at Barney, who tilted his head on one side.

“Go to
your bed and take a nap,” Christopher told him.

The dog ran over to the plaid cushion, slid down to it,
and put his chin on his paws.

Christopher took Lilly’s hand
and led her along the hallway to his bedroom. He pulled her inside and closed the door, actually more nervous than he had been when he’d lost his virginity.

He guessed doing it for the first time with a human would be like being a virgin all over again. Damn, what if he was a lousy lover for a human? What if he didn’t make her come?

“You want me to undress you? Will that be okay?” he asked, knowing he was overthinking the whole thing, but perhaps it would buy him a little more time to calm down.

“Sure and then maybe I can undress you.”

He swallowed. Just the thought of taking off her clothes and finally seeing what was underneath those layers made him almost come.

Christopher sl
id her jacket off her shoulders and then set it down on the chair. He kissed her while running his hands up and under her black sweater. Her skin was soft and smooth, and having her lips on his made his heart beat double time. He pulled away, lifting the sweater up over her head as Lilly raised her arms in the air.

Her
breasts spilled over the pink lace bra. He ran his hands over them, seeing her nipples pushing outward through the see through sections in the material. His cock twitched, and his hands shook as he reached behind her and unclasped the bra, allowing it to drop forward away from her body. Christopher caught it, easing it off her shoulders.

He drew in his breath. He’d never seen such beautiful looking breasts
, ever.

Hoping he wasn’t overstepping the line, he ran his hands back and forth over them, feeling Lilly’s nipples harden more on each pass. He lea
ned over, taking her left one into his mouth, and sucked.

Bliss.

The feel of it in his mouth, its taste and the touch, made his balls ache and pull. What he really wanted to do was rip off the rest of her clothing and take her immediately. Another woman might have gotten that sort of treatment, but he’d never do that to Lilly. Maybe one day she’d allow him that pleasure, but not this first time.

She r
an her fingers through his hair; her nails scraped his scalp, sending tingles down his spine. He pulled away, his hands shaking yet again as he undid the button on her jeans and pulled down the zipper. She wiggled her hips as he eased the denim over her butt. She kicked off her shoes so he could slide the pants over her legs.

Wow, those
were
killer thighs and hips. He put his hand on them and ground his body into hers.

“You feel how excited you make me?” he said before kissing her.

He glanced down, already seeing some of the strawberry-blonde curls poking out from the sides of her panties. They held his attention more than they should have and it almost gave him away.

“Something wrong?” asked Lilly.

“No, everything’s just perfect.”

He pushed his hands down the back of
the panties, feeling her curvy ass kiss his palm.

The panties fell onto the top of her feet. She stepped out of them. Christopher stepped back.

She was more beautiful than he’d imagined. The curves and the heavy breasts which made him think she was made especially for a bear shifter,
this bear shifter.

And what delights lay between her legs
? He needed to find out soon. He lifted her in his arms and walked with her to the bed, where he placed her softly on its edge. He kissed both her knees and then slowly and tenderly parted them.

His cock grew so hard so quickly
that it hurt. He almost yelped. Her pussy was red and glistening and he had to see her clit.
His first one.

She leaned back a little, causing her pussy to rise
up, allowing him a better view. Christopher didn’t know what to touch first, her pubic hair, her pussy, or the magic clit.

Yes, he wanted to touch it. He parted her labia and then at the top of her folds the nub stood out. It was beautiful. He ran his thumb over it, hearing her groan a little. He rubbed it again. Her legs twitched.

“I like that, I like it a lot,” said Lilly.

He rubbed it some more, seeing her toes flex. He increased the pressure and speed, seeing her dig her nails into his quilt.

He was doing something right.

She groaned some more and
then he felt her body stiffen and her pussy pump out a bead of juice onto his hand.

He
’d made her climax.

She sat up and looked at him.

“Christopher.”

“Yes.”

She didn’t say anything more, but reached over and put her hand on the bulge in his jeans before pulling down the zipper.

“My hands are shaking so bad, you might have to take off your own clothes,” she said.

He stood. “Is it because you’re nervous?”

She shook her head. “I
t’s weird, but I feel like a virgin again. Sometimes I wish I was.”

He took off his sweatshirt, stripped down to his boxers
, and then slid them off his body.

The first thing she did was touch the scar on his side. He
’d almost forgotten about it. “What happened?” asked Lilly.

She had a right to know what sort of guy he’d once been.

“Ex-girlfriend stabbed me.”

“Oh Christopher, no, I mean…”

“My own fault. I wanted a ménage a trios and she caught another woman giving me a blow job, and that woman bit my dick. Please Lilly; I wanted you to know, to assure you I’m not that sort of guy anymore. Now that I’ve met you, it’s just you and only you, no more threesomes, just you.”

She ran her hands over his dick that was now hard and pulsating, anticipating being inside Lilly.

“It’s okay. I guess we all have something in our pasts.”

He leaned over, put his hands on either side of her
face, and kissed her.

Chri
stopher encouraged her to get onto the bed where within seconds he joined her. He ran his fingers up the length of her calf, then her thigh, and finally her hip.

Sheer perfection. He kissed her breast while running his hand up her inner thigh.

He loved the curls at the top of her legs. So thick, so cute, such a pretty color. He pushed his fingers through them, downward finding her clit again. Such a strange little feature, but wow, did it turn her own as he swirled his finger around it and he heard her groan. She spread her legs for him, and he ran his finger around her folds and then parted her labia, looking at the most beautiful pussy he’d ever seen. Its entrance shone with her cream and now he wanted to feel what lay beyond its entrance.

Christopher glided his finger inside her, feeling her tightness
and a little resistance. She was scared and she didn’t need to be. He’d love to offer her more foreplay, but her scent, the sight of her, and now the feel of her pussy was making him so desperate that he knew if he continued without the act of sex, his inner bear might be unleashed. He wasn’t ready for her to see that just yet.

He r
emoved his finger and kissed his way up her body, planting a kiss on her belly button then the space between her breasts, and finally her lips.

“You’re still okay with this?” he asked her. He wanted her to be sure. No rushing things and regretting it later.

She touched his lower lip with her index finger. “I’m more than okay with it.”

He glanced over at the bedside table whose drawer housed the
dreaded condoms. He wasn’t looking forward to using one, but for Lilly’s sake he had to. Christopher reached over and pulled open the drawer and took one between his finger and thumb.

Lilly smiled at him and stroked his inner thigh as he tore open the package. He hoped she didn’t see
his hand shaking and that he didn’t look like an amateur when he put it on his dick. He sat up and grabbed his cock with one hand, the condom with the other and began the tedious task of sheathing himself.

Shit, he’d obviously gotten the wrong size because it already hurt like hell. His poor dick was going to be strangled.
Aiden hadn’t warned him how bad these things really were.

He finally got it secured all the way and turned around to Lilly who stroked his thigh again.

The pain and discomfort of the condom was worth it because now he was free to be inside her. He nudged her leg and got in between her thighs. Lifting his cock, he gently nudged her entrance and then pushed his way inside. He heard her draw in her breath.

He’d hurt her.

He pulled out.

“It’s okay, Christopher. It’s just been a long time and I’m sort of tense. Just go for it.”

“All right, but tell me if I do anything wrong. I’ll never hurt you.”

“I know.”

He pushed inside her again, feeling her tightness gather around his cock. He closed his eyes and began moving, drifting away to a paradise he’d never been before.

****

Lilly tried to relax. This was Christopher and she knew he’d never hurt her, but when he’d entered her, the muscles inside her pussy had been tight. She hadn’t been kidding when she said it was like being a virgin again. Now as he began a steady rhythm, her pussy loosened up enough to let him slid in deeper and the pain went away.

Matt her been her one and only sex partner and
he’d never brought her to climax. How sad was that to admit? Somehow she knew things with Christopher would be different.

She held his arms and lifted her butt, allowing him to slide in deeper. He groaned and moved quicker.
She swallowed. Something was already happening deep inside her. She could feel it all the way into her toes.

Lilly ran her hands over his biceps that now bulged out as he picked up speed. He was so beautiful
, and how lucky she was to have found him.

The perfect man.

She bit her lip, feeling a climax building quickly, she raised her butt again and pushed her heels into the bed, wanting this to last, but she had to give in. There would be other times, right?

Christopher wasn’t the sort of guy who
had sex once and then tossed a woman to the side.

She dug her nails into her palms as her orgasm hit. It was so sweet and relaxing
, and then another one hit her again. No man could move as quickly as this. And now it seemed as if he wasn’t moving, but his cock was flipping about inside her, lashing at her G-spot.

She bit her lip again as two more orgasms took hold of her body. She squeezed her eyes shut, hearing Christopher groan, a pressure filling inside her
, and he stopped moving.

She opened her eyes and looked at him.

“That okay for you?” he asked.

“It was beautiful.”

He pulled out of her and sank his body close to her. She turned toward him and they snuggled together.

“I didn’t know you wear contact lenses
,” she said, flicking the hair out of his eyes.

“I don’t.”

“ I thought your eyes were blue, but now they’re brown.”

“Yeah, they s
ometimes look like that after I’ve had great sex.”

She burst out laughing. He was funny too. Guess she’d
always had a thing about guys with a sense of humor. So why had she fallen for Matt?

“You want to snuggle under the covers for a bit?” he asked.

“Christopher, you’re going to spoil me. I didn’t think guys liked to do that sort of thing.”

“I can assure you I’m not like other men.”

That’s what she loved most about him.

Chapter Eleven

Lilly was having the most perfect day. She never thought she’d have that sort of day again, but it was true. First she’d made love with Christopher, given herself over to him. And now she was seeing her little girl for the first time in over a month.

She fou
ght back the tears. She’d grown; even on the webcam she could see that her baby wasn’t such a baby anymore.

She was so pretty. How could a monster
like Matt have fathered such a beautiful being?

Lilly wiped away a tear so Katlin didn’t see her.

“You know what I have for you?” asked Lilly.

“What?” Katlin tapped on the computer screen.

Lilly held up the sketch Christopher had drawn for her.

“Bears, bears,” shouted Katlin, banging on the screen.

“Hey, don’t go breaking Grandma’s laptop.”

“It’s okay,” she heard her mother saying.

“So what do you think of them?” asked Lilly.

“I love bears,” said Katlin.

“Who drew them?” asked her mother. “They’re adorable.”

“My new friend…well, I guess he’s my boyfriend.”

She didn’t want to tell her mom she’d just got back from making love with him and start a whole discussion she didn’t want to get onto right now. Even Lilly was still processing the fact that she’d met a man who rocked her world.

Her mom suddenly appeared on the screen with Katlin
now balancing on her knee.

“Boyfriend
? Oh honey, I’m so excited for you.”

“He’s very nice, very kind, and has been a big help to me.”

“Is he handsome?”

“Like a movie star.”

“You hear that Katlin? Your mother has a boyfriend.”

“Bears, I want bears.”

“Maybe we should postpone your trip to see you next weekend.”

“No, you won’t. I’m planning on seeing you both.”

“I can’t wait to meet this young man.”

“Bears,” said Katlin.

“How about Mommy puts this in the mail for you and you’ll have it by Tuesday,” said Lilly.

“My bears.”

****

For the first time in his life, Christopher felt lonely. Lilly had left about three hours ago and normally he’d phone his shifter group buddies and go to a bar, but now that didn’t have any appeal to him. He picked up the remote and turned on the TV, flicking through the stations at lightning fast speed. Nothing looked very interesting.

Tapping his fingers on the edge of the couch. He could go for a run
, but even that didn’t feel like much fun. Barney looked at him.

“What?”

The dog barked.

“Okay, ye
s, I want to call Lilly and hear her voice again. Thank you for reminding me of that.”

He reached over for this phone. He’d become the sort of
guy that he’d once made fun of. And yes, he’d made fun of his own brother when he’d first fallen for Charlotte. He guessed these human women had a way of transforming you quickly.

He plugged in the numbers.

“Hello.”

“Just wanted to see if you got home okay…nope that’s a lie. I
just wanted to hear your voice,” he said.

“It’s good to hear yours too. I just showed Katlin your sketch and she lov
ed it. She’s in love with bears, what can I say.”

“She has good taste,” said Christopher.

“You like them too?”

“Some of my best friends are bears.”

Lilly laughed. “You are so funny.”

He’d have to tell her soon.

“Katlin and my mom are coming to visit next weekend.”

He was happy for her, having family around
was great, but did that mean they wouldn’t get together?

“I can’t wait for you to meet them.
I mean, I don’t want you to assume I’m thinking it’s serious or anything between us and you
have
to meet them.”

“If y
ou want us to be serious, then it’s serious.”

“Yeah, I think I do.”

He pumped the air with his fist.

“And I can’t wait t
o meet them, especially Katlin,” he said.

“She
can be shy at first, but then she’s a non-stop talker.”

He smiled. “You think she’ll e
njoy spending time with Barney?”

“
She’s going to adore him. He looks like a bear, don’t you think?”

No, no way. “Sort of…I mean a little teddy bear.”

There was silence for a few seconds. He wanted to be with her again. See her smile and make her laugh so he could watch those cute dimples in her cheeks appear. And yes, he was a bear shifter who now had a mate, so making love was on his must have list too.

“What would you say if I came over right now and spent the rest of the evening with you?” asked Christopher.

“I’d love it, but I’ve already got undressed because I was about to take a shower then read in bed.”

“Umm, all that sounds like the sort of thing I’d like to do too. Can I come over and join you?”

“I’ll be offended if you don’t.”

“I’m going to have to bring Barney, is that okay?”

“Pets aren’t allowed in the apartment building but you can smuggle him in under your jacket.”

“Give me directions and I’ll be there before you know it. Oh, and don’t bother to get dressed.”

****

Lilly could hardly open the door in her birthday suit and have maybe a couple of the other tenants see her naked and greeting a man, so
she wrapped a towel around her body when the doorbell rang. She walked to the peep hole, looked out, and saw Christopher with Barney’s cute little face sticking out over the top of his jacket. She opened it and stepped aside to let him in. Christopher kissed her and then put Barney on the floor. He ran around sniffing at the furniture and then the drapes.

“I told you to stay naked,” said Christopher.

“Undress me.”

He pulled at the towel and whistl
ed. “That’s one hot body you have, lady.”

“I’m going to take a shower if you want to join me.”

She turned around and then looked over her shoulder and beckoned him with her index finger. He took off his jacket, and then his sweatshirt and by the time they got to the bathroom, he was as naked as her. He closed the door and pulled her into his body. His erection strained against her belly.

He kissed her, prying open her lips so he could let his tongue glid
e into her mouth. This man did everything so perfectly, including his kiss.

Christopher pulled away.

“You want to shower with me?” she asked.

“I do, I feel very dirty.”

She turned, pulled back the shower curtain, and turned on the water. Christopher held her hand as she climbed over the edge of the tub. He placed a foil condom by the soap dish.

Sex in the shower. A first for her.

“How about I put soap all over your body?” he asked.

She didn’t respond but simply handed him the bar. He rubbed it between his hands and then in slow circles glided it over her neck and shoulders. The warmth of the water and the touch of his hands made her instantly relax. He pushed her hair to one side so he could soap her back. He ran his fingers down her spine. She shivered but not because she was cold. It was the most erotic feeling. He stopped at her crack and then massage
d both ass cheeks.

“Up against the wall, young lady,” he whispered in her ear. “I want to make sure I get every inch of you as clean as I can.”

She took one step toward the tiled wall and put her hands upon it, spreading her fingers out wide. Christopher began at her ankles making circular movements over her skin. She closed her eyes. This was one of the most pleasurable things she’d ever experienced. After years of beatings and pain, her body was enjoying sheer bliss.

He worked his hands inward to her calves, moving slower the higher up her leg
s he got.

Her th
ighs, he’d arrived at those and concentrated on the inner parts. She spread her legs some more, allowing him room to go to work.

She set her forehead on the tiles, groaning as he ran his hands over her butt. Matt had always made her feel so
self-conscious about her weight, but it was almost as if Christopher was worshipping her body and its size. He kissed her back as his fingers made their way between her butt cheeks. She groaned as two of his fingers slipped over her anus and tickled the entrance of her pussy before slipping inside her.

Lilly wasn’t sure if it was
the water from the shower or her own juices, but something wet triggled down her legs as Christopher ran his fingers around inside her channel.

“Is it okay if I take you like this?”
he asked.

She nodded, knowing she wouldn’t trust anyone else but him to make love to her in his position.
He turned off the shower and then she heard the foil package being ripped open. She dug her toes into the bathtub as he entered her. Christopher put his hands over both her breasts and squeezed them as he began thrusting inside her.

He
licked and then kissed her neck, almost lifting her off the ground as he drove upward.

She wiggled her legs and butt, already feeling
an orgasm building. She clawed at the wall when it took her quickly and then another one hit her as Christopher seemed to be still yet his cock was moving inside her. She looked down at his feet. His legs definitely weren’t moving, so she wasn’t crazy to think that he could rotate his cock inside her.

Lilly didn’t know how he did that
, but she didn’t care because another climax was on the horizon. Her fingers made squeaking noises as she ran her hands down the wall when it hit her. Her legs shook and then Christopher ran his teeth over the back of her neck and nipped at her.

He groaned like a bear roaring and then the sensation of warm liquid filling her pussy washed over her.

“Don’t turn around yet,” he whispered.

He was out of breath and she was sure she could even hear his heart beating. He stayed inside her for a few minutes and then pulled out.

“Okay, you can turn around.”

She swung around and he kissed her and then pulled awa
y. “Sorry if I was being bossy,” he said.

****

Wow, that had been a close call. Taking her from behind like that had made him think of mating. He’d bitten her like all shifters did after they’d impregnated their partners. It had been brought on by his climax and he’d sensed his eyes changing and his muscles bulge like he was about to shift. If she’d seen that, she would have been petrified and that was the last thing he wanted her to be.

She’d suggested they go to bed and she’d read him a bedtime story. He put his arm around her as she opened the book.

The sex in the shower had been off the charts, and the whole mating thing had made him think about having babies with her. Would that be possible? Human and shifter. Aiden had told him that he and Charlotte had been trying to get pregnant for the last three months, but so far nothing had happened.

Christopher hadn’t thought he was the family type of guy until now.

“You look miles away,” said Lilly.

“Nope, I’m focusing on the story.
”

Just a little white lie. He was thinking of the future, their future.

He snuggled down under the covers, almost being hypnotized by Lilly’s calming voice.

It was a mystery she was reading to him. He liked those the best. She put her hand under the cover and stroked his cock as she read. It immediately responded by going hard.

“Hey, that’s not fair. What if I did this to you?”

He slipped his hand under the cover and immediately found her clit.

She read a few more words and then stopped.

“See,” he said. “Hard to concentrate isn’t it?”

He pulled her up on his lap and she leaned over and kissed him.

“You want to come meet some of my buddies on Wednesday night
? They’re having a barbecue.”

He’d ease her into the group, let her see that shifters were really just like humans and they’d never, ever hurt her.

“Sure, I’d like that.”

They kissed again.

“You want to take a ride on me?” he asked.

“I thought you’d never ask
. And kiss me when I come.”
