He looked all sorts of things, standing there.
Sorry.
Guilty.
Conflicted as hell.
But most of all, hungry.
For me.
Hawk moved away, and I sat up. “You came.”
Koda’s jaw flexed as the late morning light streaming through the window cast his face in harsh lines.
Or maybe that was just his expression.
“I shouldn’t have. I shouldn’t be here,” he rasped, his voice thick. “I’m trying to stay away because…”
Because he didn’t want to get hurt again.
Because he wanted to prove his human was still in charge.
Because this was utter madness.
I couldn’t read his mind, but I could easily guess it.
I had my reasons for wanting to put distance between us, too. But…
“Koda, it doesn’t matter why,” I whispered. “Our bears don’t give a eff what we want.”
Then I reached out my arms to him.
His composure cracked, and the conflict in his eyes burned away, replaced by a raw, desperate need that mirrored my own.
In the next instant he charged into my nest, casting off his boots and clothes as he closed the space between us. Until he was fully naked and dropping to his knees before me.
“Vixen…you called me back.” Koda’s voice was a mix of accusation and wonder.
“I wanted you,” I admitted, my bear as unrepentant as an Ariana Grande song. “So I made you come.”
His gaze darkened, some unreadable emotion storming over his face.
“Don’t you dare ask me to present—” I started to warn.
Only to cut off when he collared my throat and crashed his mouth into mine for the kind of wet, tongue-swirling kiss that would have shorted a real animatronic out.
So maybe he was one of us living, breathing mammals after all.
He kissed me until my head spun, and then he released my throat to pull me into a sex position that wasn’t at all perfunctory.
More like a half-lotus, half-hug that allowed him to keep devouring my mouth as he guided the undulations of my hips up and down the long, thick dick I’d mentally begged him for—totally worth the pride murder.
Soon, an orgasm, bigger and better than anything his robot version could ever deliver, bloomed inside me.
Then I was on my back again. But instead of Leif’s mouth, Koda’s hips pistoned between my legs, and his heavy body pinned mine back into the nest.
Mate!I wrapped my legs around him, my bear growling her satisfaction as he lost control between my thighs.
