“I’m not crazy.I’m telling the truth.I can prove it.”
“Sure, you can.”
“I can!Just… watch.”
He stands, and I stare at him.
Until he starts to strip.
“Whoa!What are you doing?”I shout, covering my eyes.
“I have to take my clothes off.”
“Why?”
“You’ll see in a second.Just look.”
I peek out from between my fingers to see him naked, and I slam my eyes closed.“Dude!It’s not cool that you keep trying to get me to see you naked.”
“I’m not.Just trust me and look for ten seconds.”
I debate whether I should trust him, then decide I have nothing to lose right now.I groan and drop my hands.
Jameson nods, and right in front of my eyes, he transforms.
One second, he’s standing before me on two feet, and the next, a giant bear is in his place.
“Holy shit!”I shout, scrambling back a few feet.
The bear rumbles low, taking a step closer to me.I back up another step and freeze as I stare at the giant animal.
“Okay, you’re not crazy,” I blurt.
A second later, the bear changes back into Jameson.He tugs on his clothes in a hurry and sits, giving me a hopeful smile.I walk toward him carefully, dropping into the seat across from him.
“There’s more,” he says.
I swallow hard.“Of course there is.”
His voice lowers.“There’s something called a fated mate.It means… one person.One bond.Chosen by instinct, not choice.”
A strange chill slides down my spine, and I tense.“Okay…”
And then he says it.
“You’re mine.”
The world stops.
The air thickens between us.
My heartbeat roars in my ears.
Holy crap.
SIX
Jameson
