your fucking mind?
Then his hips punched forward, harder than before,
filling me completely. He jerked his head back and bellowed loud.
I didn't understand until I felt his cock swell. My
animal brain expected an inrush of heat, glorious seed, flooding my
womb to overflowing.
Muscles instantly tightened and convulsed once again,
jerking my whole body around like someone had tied stiff ropes around
my limbs.
Together, we came, my velvet rippling and spasming out
around his beautiful cock. He unloaded in the condom, still fucking
me at the hips. The rest of him became a huge granite plank, pure
muscle turned to stone in its rapture.
Sparks showered off us. A few more seconds and we
could've started the bed on fire.
The steady contractions waned, allowing me to open my
eyes. Up above, he had his face pinched shut. Beautiful in his
release.
I watched him open his eyes and look at me. The flames
there swirled a little lower. Warm, but tame.
“ What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?” He
leaned down and kissed me.
“ I think it's a bear,” I teased.
I hadn't realized how sickeningly exhausted I was until
he collapsed next to me, pulling me close. Hell, how long had it been
since a man spent a few hours with me in bed, let alone a full night?
The whole heist seemed a million miles away. Nick's bear
hug relaxed, soft and comfortable, and his bed chest rose against my
cheek.
I glanced at the jade artifact once, toward the spot
where it had rolled and propped itself up against the wall.
Can I really let this go? Not just the artifact...all
of it? All this fear and madness I've lived with for ten years since
he was killed?
I didn't know. I just wanted to sleep. I snuggled into
Nick's chest, savoring the peace.
Whatever the night would bring, I'd be ready. For now, I
just needed to enjoy myself, and enjoy him.
“ Nick! Niiiick! Are you in there, man?”
I woke in a start, huge fists beating on the door
several rooms away. Nick was already up, prowling around the bedroom.
He scraped up his jeans and started to tug them on. When
he heard me stirring – those damned bed springs – he
pivoted, his sharp eyes glowing.
“ Don't move. I'll handle this.”
“ What is it?” I pulled the covers close.
“ Somebody must've seen your car outside the
reservation. They know I'm hanging onto the artifact. Another guy
picked me up after I tore it out of your trunk last night.”
“ Shit!” I scrambled across the room,
gathering my clothes.
Nick quickly finished dressing, giving his hair a quick
comb through. The pounding just outside the living room wasn't
getting any more forgiving.
He closed the bedroom door gently behind him. I scurried
up to it, pressed my ear close, straining to hear as I struggled to
freshen up my clothes and get dressed.
“ What the hell took you so long, buddy? We were
ready to break down the door.”
“ I just overslept, Beamer. What the hell's going
on?” Lover Bear sounded convincing.
“ That girl...or somebody she knows is here. Old
man Turnage found her car parked in a crop of trees just inside the
reservation's gates. And, hey, why the hell didn't you finish the job
last night?”
“ What job is that? To kill an innocent girl? I
recovered the fucking ball. That's all that really matters here.”
Nick let an angry growl slip out.
I marveled at the feral sound, wondering if he was
lapsing into some language the other bears would understand.
“ We'll see about that,” a third voice said.
“You ignored the Elder's orders. You're gonna have some serious
shit to discuss with Branson when he wakes up tonight. But first we
gotta find this human bitch.”
“ Hey, hey, hey! Watch it, Victor.”
Footsteps scraped across the floor, all of them heading
down the hall. I panicked, looking at the old window across the room,
my lone escape route.
No way I'd ever fit through it. It would've been a tight
squeeze for a skinny girl, let alone one who carried a few extra
pounds.
I couldn't
