ROMANCE: Awakened by the Alpha Bear (Werebear Fantasy Billionaire Romance) (New Adult Contemporary Alpha Male Bear Shapeshifter Paranormal Romance Short Stories)) (3 page)

Gael turned her look at him,
“Haven’t I protected you so far?” he looked intently into her eyes.

Something about his presence
made her feel secure and she knew he was right. Still, the presence of another
creature watching her in the dark made her uneasy. Gael made to leave but she
wanted him to stay. As if reading her mind he stopped and turned.

“Are you still scared of me,”
he asked.

“I was never scared of you,”
she retorted.

“Then why don’t you ask me to
stay?” He asked. He was taunting her, she could see it in his eyes.

She turned away and walked
further into the room. She was not about to beg him. If he wanted to go then
let him, she thought. She felt him move up behind her. He lowered his head and
brought his lips to her ear. They were so close that they brushed lightly
against her skin.

“Say it. Say you want me to
stay,” he teased.

“I certainly will not,” she
replied. Not only did she want him to stay with her because of the other
creature nearby, but she so badly wanted him to resume what he’d started. But
she would be damned if she told him that.

“Then see you in the morning,”
he sauntered away.

Ariel watched as Gael walked to
the door. She hoped he would not go but he pulled the door opened and she heard
herself say, “Wait!”

He stopped, “Say it,” he
repeated.

“Please stay,” she replied
between her teeth.

“Now, that wasn’t so hard was
it?” He closed the door and faced her with a grin.

She picked up a cushion from the
sofa and flung it at him, “You are the most infuriating man I’ve ever met!” His
eyes danced in amusement and it infuriated her. “What so funny?” She asked.

“You’re cute when you’re mad,”
he replied, stepping towards her.

“Stay where you are,” her pulses
had quickened.
How could she respond to him so quickly?
She moved behind
the sofa, using it as a barrier, her eyes sending fiery darts his way.

“Why, you know what would
happen if I stayed with you,” he continued moving towards her.

They were now circling the
sofa, Ariel trying to put as much distance between them. Yes, she wanted him
but that couldn’t be. She’d never been with a man she’d only met a few days.
She had to get some control over the situation. But Gael, had that look in his
eyes, that look that animals get when they were eyeing their prey. She’d seen
it on the National Geographic Channel.

As he moved around the sofa,
trying to catch her, her mind wandered to when she’d seen him all naked, right
after he ran the wolf off. Every part of his body was magnificently made with
broad muscular shoulders, powerful arms and thighs and his stomach…oh…those
abs. She especially found his V-line very sexy. She mentally stopped herself
for thinking about his other muscle, the one that had beckoned at her so…

“Why fight it Ariel? You know
it’s gonna happen sooner or later. How long will you be here? Six months…or
more?” He broke into her fantasy.

“I’ll leave then…don’t come any
closer…I can work from home,” she replied, warning him in the process.

“Then I’ll find you…that’s
quite easy for me you know. I know your scent so well, I’ll be able to find you
even if you are among a million other women,” he replied, still following her.

“Ouch!” she stubbed her foot on
the edge of the sofa. He was beside her in a flash, “You wished for that didn’t
you.”

He was lifting her, taking her
to the bedroom but she was having none of that. “Put me down, you...you…!” She
was flailing her arms and kicking her feet, while her heartbeat betrayed her.

Gael reached the bed and dumped
her on it. He tore off his purple shirt revealing those muscles she had been
thinking about. He then tore off his slacks and below that, there was nothing!
How
shameful
, she thought, her eyes glued to his magnificence. That manly
warrior of his stood erect, pointing directly at her.

She had thought he was
beautiful in the dark, but now that his splendor was proudly displayed in the
fluorescent light of her room, he was breath taking. Never had she seen such
well define dips and curves on a man. His grey pools smoldered with the desire
that burned there, and Ariel swore they changed colors. Was there a tinge of
yellow in there somewhere?

He was peeling off her clothes
as quickly as he had done his. There weren’t many pieces. Under her dress was a
flimsy lace G-string that had been rubbing against her clit all night. She
could protest, but she figured it would get her nowhere. Gael was set on
devouring her and it seems there was nothing she could say to deter him.

When he took her breast in his
mouth, she almost leaped off the bed. His lips were hot on her skin and they
send shards of electrical current through her chest. She felt as if butterflies
were buried deep in her stomach, ready to burst out of their cocoons.

His lips on her other nipple
was as electrifying as the first and she ached to feel those lips on hers. His
animal instinct were on point, and she noted that with bated breath, as he
lazily raised his head from her hardened nipples and captured her lips instead.
Their bodies touched, igniting a fire that threatened to burn them both alive.

He left her lips to trail
kisses along her neck, down her cleavage and lingered on her trembling belly.
His hands were also very busy, as his fingertips left fiery touches on her
skin. When he touched her clit with his fingertips, she moaned in pleasure. He
then plunged his index finger inside her only to meet extreme wetness.  He went
back to her lips, covering her body with his, propping his huge frame on his
elbows.

She could feel his huge
throbbing cock pressing into her and her legs came up and wrapped around him.
That was the signal Gael needed. Without further delay, he reached between them
and guided himself into her wet awaiting flesh.

“Ahhh,” she groaned as the
ridges of his shaft massaged her vaginal walls on its entry.

She heard Gael growl deep in
his throat at the sweetness that engulfed him. Her tightness squeezed him,
sucking him in with each thrust that he took as he slowly glided in and out of
her.

“My God, you’re so wet and
tight,” he moaned, capturing her lips in a deep kiss.

Together their rhythm created a
mating ritual that only two connected souls could. In the moment when she felt
herself lift, as if on a cloud and something deep inside her opened, her body
stiffened and she arched her back, releasing her warm fluid unto her mate’s
shaft.

He felt it, the moment she
gripped him, he also could hold back no longer. He bulged inside her, and he
felt the coiled spring release before the explosion inside him shattered into
her.

Five

He left her in the wee hours of
the morning while she was still asleep. Reluctantly he had to, because he had
an early meeting. Never had he been so enchanted with a mate, and he’d had
many. He watched her sleep in the waning moonlight before he slipped out the
door.

Luckily, there were many secret
entrances that existed in the mansion. Getting from her floor to his was a
breeze but he knew he was being watched. He knew who or what it was but thought
that the creature would not touch Ariel, because he’d already marked his territory.

He spent the morning in a
powerful meeting that closed with positive results. He picked up a small gift
on his way back, hoping to surprise her. He had come on a little strong and he
knew she wasn’t quite ready to bed him but he seduced her anyway. Not that he
was complaining.

He was back home by midday and
anxious to see her. This was a new feeling for him. As he entered the portico
he knew something was wrong. He could not feel her presence. She was gone. Not
knowing what to make of it, he went to her room. All her clothing was still
there and her bed unmade.

“Hey, what are you doing in
Ariel’s room?” It was Mikael. He’d seen his brother come in and followed him.

“Do you have something to do
with this?” He stepped closer to his younger brother.

“What are you talking about?”
Mikael’s blue eyes looked confused.

“Where is she?” he asked
pushing the younger man against the wall.

Mikael was not scared of his
brother but he relaxed, not wanting to anger him. “Oh, I get it. You claimed
her.”

“Where is she?” His voiced
thundered throughout the third floor, echoing all through the corridor and
reaching the attic.

“I don’t know. I have been
looking for her all day. She didn’t come down for breakfast so I thought she
was sleeping in, being Sunday and all.”

Gael let him go, but not before
his paws protruded and dark hairs started pushing through his skin. “Where is
Jives?” He growled, in a manner only his brother could understand.

“He’s around somewhere,” Mikael
answered.

Mikael was now very concerned.
He’d never seen his brother go berserk over a woman before and now he had
changed fully into a bear, in broad daylight. That took some control, which he
was yet to master. It seemed his brother could change himself at will, it was
really scary…yet so cool.

“Gael, don’t do anything rash.
I’ll go ask Jives if he’s seen her,” he said, trying to calm his brother.

However, before he got a chance
to move off, Gael disappeared.

She stretched languorously. Her
long sleek thighs contrasted the dark fur she was sleeping on. Something was
off! There was a weird draft and smell in her room. She opened her eyes. It
took a second or two to focus. He eyes widened as she looked around the
room…but it wasn’t the room in the mansion. She was in a cave, a dark damp
musty cave.

Did Gael take her here? “Gael?”
she called.

She felt craggy as if she was
drugged. She tried to focus on the shadows against the wall and then she saw
it, those green eyes were staring at her. As her eyes focused more she made out
the form of a brown bear. It was the same one she saw last night. Fear gripped
her as she realized that he was her captor. It was obvious to her that he’d
drugged and carried her there.

So many questions ran through
her mind. Did he kill Gael? Did Gael allow him to take her? She didn’t know
Gael that well so she had no idea how trustworthy he was. She had felt safe
with him, but now, she was here in a cave with a scary green-eyed bear. Why did
he scare her and not Gael?

She took a deep breath. If she
was going to die might as well get some answers, “Who are you?”

The thing stepped from the
shadows.

Ariel cringed, that’s when she
noticed she was naked. She took the edge of the fur bedding and pulled it up to
cover her. He walked over and stood beside the makeshift bed on which he had placed
her. She gasped as she realized that she knew who it was.

“You!” He had half changed and
recognizable.

“Yes, my sweet. It’s me,” he
said, sitting beside her and taking a handful of her hair. “I’ve never seen
such pure beauty and when you smiled at me, my heart only melted,” Jives
replied.

“Where is Gael?” she demanded.

“Don’t worry your pretty head
about him. I’m here now,” the butler said, caressing her face.

Not that the man was not
attractive looking, he was. But there was something about him that made her
skin crawled. She hoped that Gael was all right and if he were, he would find
her.

As he approached the edge of
the forest, he detected her faint scent and knew she’d been that way. He knew
that Jives was behind it. It was he that was watching her last night. The
deeper he got into the wooded area beyond the mansion the stronger her scent
got, and he knew exactly where he’d taken her.

“Do you know how it feels to be
locked in that mansion for so long, with no female to keep me company? There
are none for miles around,” he was telling her.

She almost felt sorry for him,
had he not started to run his hands over her shoulders and pulling away the fur
she was covering with.

“Let me go Jives, I promise not
to tell anyone about this,” she pleaded.

He was edging closer to her,
inhaling her. Ariel felt like she wanted to puke. His animal odor was very
strong and sickening to her nostrils. “No can do,” he replied, trying to kiss
her.

“No!” she screamed. Jives
gripped her shoulders and pushed her back against the hard bed, which she
suspected was a rock. He then climbed atop her and tried to force his lips on
her. She kicked but he pinned her legs with his.

“No! Get off me!” She screamed
at him. She wriggled, trying to get out of his grasp but his bear strength
overpowered her.

“Relax, my sweet. I promise you
a good time.”

Then in a flash, he was hurled
across the room. His back hit the wall of the cave and he slumped to the floor,
just for a second. When he arose, slowly, he was fully changed with claws and hair,
and his evil green eyes.

Jives and Gael faced each
other, making loud growling sounds that only they could understand. They
circled each other for a moment, before they both lunged at each other. Ariel
was shocked. She’d never seen anything like it. Should she run for it? What if
Gael didn’t win, what then?

The two bears stumbled and
fell, with jives on top, but not for long. Swiftly Gael shifted and gained the
advantage. He wasted no time and swiped his paw across the neck of the brown
bear. Red liquid oozed from Jives as he lay unmoving on the floor of the cave.

Gael stood and turned, but he
hadn’t changed back. He lifted her from the bed and quickly ran out into the
open, where he let out a long roar, almost like a lion, running through the
trees. He moved swiftly for his size and before long, she could see they were
near the mansion. When they were at a small clearing, he slowed and howled
again.

The feel of his rough bear hair
grazing her skin awakened her. She wrapped her arms around her bear’s neck and
kissed its cheek. He stopped and gazed in her eyes with those smoldering greys.
She cupped his bear snout and kissed him again, on the mouth.

Slowly he changed back and
lowered her to the ground. They were both now naked but she didn’t care. He’d rescued
her from another, which meant that she was his property. As far as she knew,
this was Wilder land and no one could see them.

There in the wooded area beyond
the garden they lay on the golden leaves of the forest floor. He captured her
mouth and subsequently her tongue, entwining it with his in a searing kiss. His
hand cupped her breast while his thumb caressed her nipple. Current soured
through her at his touch. Her hands explored every hard brawny terrain of his
body, followed by her lips trailing kisses along his chest and torso.

Gael, sucked in his breath with
every hot touch of her lips. He lay still on his back, relishing her attention.
When she took him in her mouth, he was mesmerized. He felt her wrap her warm
lips around his shaft, sliding her tongue along its length. She tried to take
him all in but he knew he was too large. He could feel the tip of his cock buck
against the back of her throat. When he could no longer bear it, he flipped her
over and bent her back ways. He hoisted her ass and sank his face into her
moist opening. She smelled so good.

He touched her clit with the
tip of his tongue and she jumped. A gush of liquid rushed to his tongue.
Hungrily he licked her moisture from her and lowered her ass, placing his dick
at her opening. Slowly he penetrated her, sinking into her wetness. She
enveloped him like a warm blanket, with her velvety depths. He loved the feel
of her vaginal walls as they closed around his shaft.

Ariel could not breathe. Her
insides felt like there was honey poured in her female center. Each time Gael
drove into her, he sent ripples of unending pleasure through every fiber of her
body. She never wanted it to end but she knew it would as her tension mounted.
She tried to hold it back but she could not. She pushed her ass against his
groin, taking him in fully, feeling the head of his cock when it met the end of
her vagina.

Her shattering orgasm rocked
her body, leaving her trembling in its wake. He felt when it was coming. He
could tell when she stiffened and he heard her moan. The pleasure he gained
from her pleasure was enough to send him crashing deeply into her as his own
orgasm exploded into a million pieces.

After they were spent, they lay
naked on the ground. Gael enveloped her in a bear hug, nibbling her neck. They
lay like that until nightfall, when he stood and gently lifted her, taking her
back to his own cave in the mansion she was redecorating.

As he approached his room, she
teased, “I must do something about this room. I wonder how it would look in pink.”

“You wouldn’t dare!” Gael
growled.

THE END
