“Bear, please!”
Maverick pushed a second finger inside me and stroked my inner walls. Sparks flew up into the air before floating back down like burning confetti.
My bear licked and sucked harder, taking his sweet time exploring every inch of me. My breasts ached, desperate for the same attention. I needed his mouth on them. Or someone’s mouth.
The minute the thought entered my mind, I flushed all over. If only… but I bit my lip hard to force such depraved cravings down. Wanting another male while my bear pleasured me was so, so wrong. I was a bad witch.
The window to our left rattled, and when I looked up, I saw a large crow sitting on the ledge. Fiercely intelligent eyes stared at me before it flapped its wings, cawing loudly. Then it flew away.
Thank the goddess. Having a bird watch Maverick between my thighs was wrong. Although… if Zane was here, or Kai, I’d like it. Stars above, even the grumpy mage.
Maverick licked harder before biting down on my clit. I came with a shriek, the sudden shocking pain sending me over the edge. Before I could come down from my high, my bear moved up and claimed my mouth.
I tasted my essence on his lips and tongue: sweet and musky. He groaned into my mouth before releasing me.
“I need you, baby.” The heat in his eyes threatened to burn me to ashes.
Was I ready?
The fact he asked for permission instead of taking what he wanted removed any doubts I may have had. I trusted my bear. He’d always taken care of me. Made sure he fed me, kept me warm, and protected me.
I wanted Maverick to be my first. He deserved this gift.
“You can have me, my bear,” I whispered while locking my legs around his hips. I could feel him nudging my entrance. The moment I said the words, he surged inside me.
I screamed as the pressure of his thick shaft stretched me. Goddess, why had nobody warned me this would be so painful? Tears leaked from my eyes, but just as the pain became unbearable, it slowly faded, turning into delicious, core-clenching pleasure.
“Relax, baby. I’m not fully inside you yet.”
“You’re not?” Goddess, it sure felt like he was. Maybe my body was defective. Bear shifters werebiggerthan other species. Or so I’d read on a shifter gossip website.
He chuckled while circling my clit with his thumb. With each slow caress, a new shiver of pleasure shot through me, allowing him to slide in another inch.
“Fuck, you’re so tight. So fucking hot. You take me so fucking well, little witch. Your pussy is perfect. My perfect little mate, so sexy and sweet. I will die a happy bear now that I’ve tasted nirvana.”
“Nobody’s dying,” I growled, not liking the direction his dirty talk had taken.
“Your pussy might just be the death of me,” he said with a pained groan as he finally bottomed out. I gasped as he slid a hand under my ass and changed the angle. Every inch of me throbbed, desperate for friction. I needed him to move so I could ease the pressure building inside my core.
When I dared to meet Maverick’s heated gaze, his bear stared back at me. The male and the bear were both here, both ready to claim me. He pulled out slowly, making me whine at the loss of his thick cock, but before I could beg for more, he thrust back inside, hard enough to cause the bed to creak alarmingly.
I writhed beneath him, arching my back as my orgasm approached. Sharp claws cut my tee away, and then a hot, wet mouth latched onto an aching nipple. I screamed at the dual sensation of his mouth and cock extracting every drop of pleasure from my body.
The pain of losing my V-card had long since faded, eclipsed by pleasure. The faster and harder my bear rutted into me, the more my magic surged forward. Glowing embers rained down on us, sizzling when they met damp skin, but neither of us cared.
Maverick pinched my clit, and I came with a scream. Fire exploded around us. The room faded as his jaw partially shifted, his teeth lengthening into long, vicious canines.
“Mine!” he roared before biting me at the base of my neck as he came deep inside me. The pain of his claim sparked another, more powerful orgasm. A magical inferno raged around us, and dark shadows blocked out the light. I had no clue what was going on because my brain had melted.
As I slowly floated back to the land of the living, the tether between us tightened and changed, transforming from a thin thread into a bright purple, glowing bond. The amulet between my breasts vibrated against my skin.
My beautiful, perfect little mate.I heard my bear’s voice in my head as he rolled sideways, pulling me with him. Release oozed out between my thighs, soaking the sheet.
When I looked up, fire still roared across the ceiling while black shadows danced in the corners of the room. Panic hit me hard in the gut. I needed to regain control before we both died!
My bear’s eyes remained closed. Had I worn him out? I wanted to panic about that too, but the magical fire seemed like it should be my priority.
Alaric’s voice rang in my mind: “Focus on the magic ball in your chest. Imagine reeling it back in like strands of wool!”
