“But for how long?” she asks with a hint of worry in her voice. “I can’t stay at your place forever.”
She can and she will. She doesn’t know it yet, but she’s never leaving. I can’t allow it. There’s no way I’m going to let my mate go off into the world without her two thousand pound furry bodyguard by her side and looking out for her. She’s the most precious thing in the world to me and my bear, and she’s going to find out just how possessive a pair we are.
“Don’t worry about a thing,” I whisper to her as I run my fingers through her hair and massage her scalp. “Just sit back, relax, enjoy the mountain view, and know that I’ll take care of you properly.”
She sighs and melts into me as we look at the stunning mountains in the distance. My cock is still rock hard and raging in my pants—I’m not sure if the beast is ever going to be soft again—and Chloe lets out a little whimper when her back presses against it. She doesn’t get upset or jump out of my arms when she feels how thick and hard my shaft is. Chloe just pretends not to notice and stays pressed against it, which makes my bear crazy. Hell, it makes me crazy too. A fresh stream of pre-cum oozes out the tip and drips down my thick veined shaft. Luckily, it’s not going to leak through my firefighter pants and get her all wet.
With her pressed against my cock, I start to realize how badly I need some relief. My balls are aching and so full that they feel like they’re going to explode.
Her delicious scent is swirling in my nose and making me all light-headed and the feel of her curves under my palms are just… fuck… there are no words to describe it. It’s pure heaven.
“You don’t mind me staying with you?” she asks in a small timid voice that sends a jolt straight to my cock. “We just met.”
How can I tell her that we’re mates and even though we just met, it already feels like I know her intimately? How can I tell her she’s mine and I won’t ever let her go?
“Do you believe in love at first sight, Chloe?”
She chuckles and then turns around to see if I’m serious. I am.
“Love at first sight?” she says as she stares at me in disbelief. “I’m afraid to look in a mirror right now. There’s ash in my hair, I reek of smoke, my mascara must be a mess, my hair is a nightmare. What’s wrong with you that you can fall in love with this?”
“What’s wrong with you that you can’t see how utterly perfect you are?”
She laughs and then turns back around while shaking her head. “I think you inhaled too much smoke.”
I just hold her even tighter and kiss the top of her head. “I think I’m finally awake for the first time in my life.”
Carter turns the firetruck onto my street and it won’t be long before she’s in my place. My bear keeps stalking around and is still unable to relax. I know how he feels. I’m torn.
I need to hunt down and kill this dragon shifter like I need to breathe. Any threat to my mate must be eliminated immediately, but there’s another competing need coursing through my veins as well.
I need to explore her young ripe body and claim every inch of her. I need my cock in her cunt and my mark on her neck.
The firetruck comes to a stop in front of my place. It’s a lakefront house overlooking the mountains and surrounded by tall trees. I’ve always loved it, but now I’m seeing it through new critical eyes. It’s too small. It’s only got one bathroom. I’m terrified that Chloe won’t be happy here.
“Is that your house?” she says as she leans up to get a better view. Her back leaves my hard cock and I almost grab her and pull her back down onto it. I squeeze my hands into fists to stop myself.
“Yeah. Do you like it?”
I can’t breathe as I wait for her answer.
“I love it. It’s so cute.”
I’m so relieved that I can’t wipe this goofy smile off my face as I help her climb down from the truck.
The boys are sticking their heads out of the windows and I nearly growl at them to stop looking at my mate, but I hold it back. They know she’s my mate and that she’s off-limits. They’re smart enough to know not to test me in that area. I know that, but I’m still learning to handle all of these new possessive feelings that are taking over.
“One more for Team Mate,” Westin says with a smile. “You’re all on your own now, Carter.”
