Wild Mate: BBW Bear Shifter Romance Page 10

“Well, she's on probation. She was a rogue, so she has to wear the collar. It prevents her from misting and it allows the PAC to monitor her whereabouts at all times. So far, she's been good. She goes to work, gets her fix at the blood bars, goes home.”

  They sat down to eat, and Levi polished off his bowl of stew in less than a minute. He helped himself to more stew and dug in with gusto. Rebecca remained uncharacteristically silent.

  “You haven't asked me.”

  Levi gulped down the mouthful of scalding stew. “Asked you what?” he sputtered.

  “About my new job.”

  “Well, I was waiting for you to tell me all about it.”

  She huffed. “So much for enthusiasm.”

  “Hey, I am very enthusiastic about your new job! Everything about you makes me enthusiastic.”

  Rebecca stared at him for a moment, then leaned in and licked a spot of gravy from the corner of his lips. She ran her tongue over his lips again, and Levi lost all control.

  He grabbed her and pulled her onto his lap, letting her feel his growing erection against her thigh. With one hand at the back of her neck, he kissed her long and hard, not coming up for air until he was thoroughly done with her mouth. But now that he had her mouth, he wanted her body as well. He wanted all of her. Completely.

  He had taken her to his bed, but he hadn't marked her, claimed her fully as his mate. He had been afraid that she was still hurting, still haunted by the memories of her past and her suffering and pain at the hands of a monster. Those emotional scars took time to heal, and he didn't know if she was ready.

  “Mmmm, you taste delicious,” he growled against her neck.

  “So do you,” she murmured, nibbling his ear. “Take me, Levi,” she breathed. “Take me fully.”

  He froze, gripping her waist hard. “Are you...”

  “Yes, I'm sure. I'm ready, Levi. I...I've been waiting,” she swallowed and told him breathlessly. “I've been ready a long time.”

  Levi let out a fierce, feral growl. The bear was so close to the fore, the scent of its mate igniting its most primal, carnal instincts. He gathered Rebecca up in his arms and kept his eyes locked on her as he strode from the kitchen straight into the bedroom.

  He lowered her onto the bed and pressed down on her. He couldn't wait any longer. He would go insane if he didn't have her right now.

  He tore her dress right off her body, and growled at the sight of her lacy bra and panties. With his teeth, he ripped those flimsy pieces of lace away and growled at the sight of her naked beneath him. Her curves were delectable, lush and soft. Her nipples had pebbled, growing hard and dark under his gaze.

  Levi pulled his t-shirt over his head, and got rid of his leather pants in one breath. He wanted to feel her soft, smooth skin against his, listen to her moans and whimpers as he touched her. He was going to mark her and claim her tonight. She would wear his mark on her neck forever. She would be his, completely.

  Rebecca spread her legs for him. “I'm ready,” she whispered.

  Levi's eyes almost rolled back in his head. “If you keep tempting me like this, I'm not going to last,” he gritted out.

  She giggled. “I like to see you lose control. You're always so restrained, and gentle with me. I want you out of your mind with lust for me. Take me hard, Levi.” She pushed herself up on her elbows and spread her legs wider. “I am so wet, and ready,” she purred.

  Levi could hardly breathe. She was dripping wet. He could scent and see her juices coating the insides of her thighs. Her breasts were quivering slightly as she writhed and wiggled on the bed, trying to tempt him.

  “Rebecca, you don't have to tempt me,” he grated. “I can never, ever resist you, and I can never get enough of you. Ever.”

  She blushed, and the shy, coy look on her face sent him right over the edge. He grabbed her legs and pushed himself into her with one thrust. She let out a cry and closed her eyes.

  “Levi...” She threw her head back and panted, rocking her hips slowly.

  He pushed himself up on his arms and began to move, watching her beautiful face as he slid in and out of her. He wanted to savor her look of ecstasy, to know that he could give his mate such intense and intimate pleasure. It was humbling, and gratifying. It was the most beautiful, erotic sight he had ever laid eyes on.

  “More, Levi,” Rebecca urged, raising her hips to him. She was breathing hard, her eyes half closed with pleasure.

  Levi began to thrust harder and faster, his hips pistoning and the bed creaking and shaking under his weight. Rebecca dug her nails into his back and pulled him even deeper into her.

  Levi felt her tight, wet walls begin to ripple and clench around him, and he roared, pushing himself deep into her. As she cried out, he clamped his teeth down on her shoulder, right at the base of the curve of her neck. His jaws tightened, as he pushed once, twice and began to pump his seed into her. Rebecca made a keening sound as she climaxed again, and her muscles continued squeezing and milking him as he held her down with his hands and teeth.

  Levi kept moving inside her until he was utterly spent. His orgasm had been mind-blowing, and he honestly couldn't see clearly right now. The room was spinning, and it felt as though the earth had moved under his feet.

  “Rebecca,” he whispered, trying to catch his breath. “You...are...” With supreme effort, he propped himself up and stared down at the mark he had made on her neck. He had bitten and claimed her good and proper. “Mine!”

  She gazed up at him and gave him a blindingly brilliant smile.

  “I know,” she said simply.

  “Now are you going to tell me?”

  “Tell you what?”

  Levi lay down beside her and pulled her close to him. “Are you going to tell me about this new job of yours? Or do I have to tickle it out of you?”

  “Well...” She trailed a finger playfully down his chest and drew patterns on the ridged surface of his abs. He caught her hand and held it. She was going to make him hard again if she kept it up.

  Rebecca pouted, and attempted to wiggle free. But he made it clear he wasn't going to release her. Not until she talked.

  “Okay, okay,” she squealed when he wrapped an arm around her waist and started to tickle her. “I got a job as a secretary—at a law firm!”

  “That...that's great, Rebecca!” Levi gave her a big bear hug. “Which firm?”

  “Ferro, Wells and Robertson. My boss is Dax Ferro, one of the partners of the firm.”

  Levi broke into a grin. “Dax is the PAC lawyer. And he is a great lawyer! He's the one who got me out, when I was accused of murdering Phin Lester.” Levi grimaced. Just the mention of his name gave Levi a bad taste in his mouth. He went on softly, just to assure Rebecca, “The Council has written a report to the New Moon City Police Department. Storming that underground bunker—was a PAC sanctioned operation, so it's not murder. We were hunting a coven of rogue vamps, and Phin Lester was aiding them.”

  Rebecca nodded and kissed him on the forehead. “He was going to kill me. You saved my life, Levi.”

  Phin Lester had tormented Rebecca long enough. Levi would not allow his ghost to taint their present and their future.

  Levi held her tenderly, and rested his chin on the top of her head. “So—you aced the interview,” Levi smiled, steering Rebecca's mind away from the past.

  They were happy now, and he swore he would keep her happy and safe always.

  “Yes! Dax Ferro was looking to hire a new secretary,” Rebecca said brightly. “I saw the ad, and well, I can type fast enough, and I make a mean cup of coffee. So, I start Monday!”

  “Congratulations, Rebecca! You'll be a great secretary.”

  “Thanks. But...I heard rumors, you know, at the firm.” She scrunched up her nose. “I heard the girls say that Dax Ferro...”

  “...is a boss from hell,” Levi finished for her.

  Rebecca gasped. “Oh, the rumors are true! Oh, no! I wonder what happened to his previous secretary. Did he fire her? Or did he...�
�

  Levi began to laugh. “No, he didn't fire her. He mated her!”

  “What?”

  “Yeah. Dax is now mated to Melynda, Jasynta's sister.”

  “That...that's so sweet! But—you just said he's a boss from hell.”

  “No I didn't. You said you heard rumors, and that's what it is. A rumor. Dax is a good lawyer, and I know he'll be a good boss to you. If not...” Levi cracked his knuckles menacingly and growled.

  Rebecca giggled, and Levi laughed along with her.

  Lacing his fingers behind his head, Levi stretched out, luxuriating in his mate's warmth and the feel of her soft, ample curves pressing against his body.

  “You haven't met the whole Madden clan,” he said. “We're a big clan of werebears, but don't worry, there's been a whole slew of interspecies matings recently so now we have werewolves, witches and humans in the clan,” he announced proudly. “There's going to be a barbeque this Sunday at Blake's place. Everyone will be there. I didn't want to overwhelm you, so...”

  “I'd love to go.” Rebecca sat up. “I want to meet your family. After my mom and step-dad died, I lost touch with my step-sister. I don't have any family to speak of, really. It must be nice, to have such a big, happy family,” she added quietly.

  “Rebecca, we're your family now. You're my mate.” Levi held her chin with his thumb and forefinger and tilted her face up. “This is your big, happy family, Rebecca.”

  She met his eyes and smiled.

  “Wait, did you say Dax Ferro is mated to Jasynta's sister?” Rebecca's eyes widened. “And Jasynta is Blake's mate, right?”

  “Yup. And Jasynta usually gets her sister to come join in the fun. So...”

  “So I'm going to see my boss at family gatherings!” Rebecca groaned.

  “And ain't that a good thing!” Levi cheered. “I did tell you that you have a very big, happy family now!”

  His eyes raked down her body and his hand stroked her stomach lovingly. “And when you're ready,” he said in a husky whisper. “We'll make our family even bigger, noisier, and crazier. What do you say?” he asked hoarsely, suddenly nervous. Did she want kids? Was she ready for yowling, nipping, boisterous little bear cubs?

  She put her hand over his large one and guided it lower, letting him feel the dampness between her legs. “I'm ready,” she whispered.

  Levi held her face in both his hands tenderly and gazed deeply into her eyes. What he saw there took his breath away. There was so much love, pride and happiness in his mate's eyes.

  “I never thought I'd have a big, happy family, Levi,” she whispered, blinking away her tears. “I've always dreamed of having a loving, close-knit family. It's been my dream for so long...”

  Levi leaned in and gently kissed away her tears.

  “This is not a dream, Rebecca. This is real. What we have now is real.”

  Rebecca turned to kiss him. “I want twins, a boy and a girl,” she said, her expression dead serious.

  Levi blinked at her and gulped. “I don't know if...”

  She let out a peal of laughter. “I'm just teasing you! You should have seen your face!”

  “Teasing, eh? I show you teasing,” he rumbled and flung her onto the bed. She squirmed and screamed under his hands and mouth, but she fought back valiantly and finally emerged victorious.

  Straddling him, she wriggled her fingers at him and threatened, “Now, are you going to attack me again, or shall I tickle you some more? I know where you're most ticklish...”

  Levi shook his head. “No more tickling,” he panted. “I surrender! You win.”

  She started to clamber off him but he grabbed her suddenly and pulled her down to him. Holding her tight, he rolled her onto her back and pulled her arms up over her head.

  “Now, it's my turn.”

  She started to shriek, thinking he was going to tickle her, but he silenced her with a long, passionate kiss. She melted beneath him, writhing deliciously against his rock hard body. When she arched her back to him, and he growled low, scenting his mate's arousal.

  “My dream has come true,” she whispered. “You are my dream, my reality, my life.”

  Levi closed his eyes and let out a deep, contented sigh as he held his beautiful, precious mate in his arms for a long, long time.
