Theirs (The Bears) Read online

  Laughing, the girl walked out from behind the desk. “No, you’re fine. You would be surprised at how many people do that.”

  Susie bet she wouldn’t be. All they had to do was see Brian and they would willingly sign anything, because that’s what she’d done. Susie didn’t want to admit she didn’t even ask for a tour.

  “How about I take you to the locker room?” Tayler asked.

  Susie nodded and followed the girl.

  Susie put her bag in a locker and followed Tayler out. “So, do you work here often?”

  The girl giggled. “Not as often as I would like. I’m doing my HSC this year. I’ve cut back on some week days so I can study, but I try to get as many shifts as I can, especially on the weekend because it’s the busiest. The owner is always in, and it’s worth coming to work just to look at him.”

  When they arrived back at reception, Tayler went back behind the desk. “Can I help you with anything else?”

  Susie beamed at the girl. “No, thanks. You’ve been a great help. I’m now waiting on the personal trainer I booked. She should be here any minute. Our appointment is for five.” Tayler’s face and whole demeanour changed. Her eyes went from bright and happy to the best teenage glare she’d ever seen. Her mouth tuned down and her body stiffened. Tayler glanced at the clock then back at Susie and this time Susie felt like a bug under a microscope.

  Finally she said in an icy tone, “I don’t see it. What coul—” She got cut off and her eyes rounded as her mouth slammed shut just as Susie felt a hand gently touch her back. Startled, she jumped, almost banging into the reception counter.

  Brian said, “Tayler, I see you have met my new client.”

  Susie prayed he was only talking about her joining the gym and not personal training. She inwardly cringed as he continued, “Don’t disturb me for the rest of the afternoon. Susie here is my last training session for the day.”

  She wasn’t quick enough to pull away when he reached down and grabbed her hand. A jolt rushed through her system at his contact, and although she knew the girl was going to be no help, she turned to Tayler for help and stuttered, “B-but I c-can’t have you as my trainer.”

  He paused as he led her toward stairs she hadn’t noticed at the side of the room. “Why not?”

  She stared up into his bright blue eyes, trying to think of a good excuse. “Um, well, ah, I asked for woman yesterday. Remember?”

  “I’m the most experienced trainer here. I’m also co-owner, so I can give you the best service.”

  She gave an involuntary shiver as the last words came out husky and thoughts of other services she would love him to give flashed through her mind. He started walking up the stairs, gently pulling her along.

  She looked around, noticing several women watching her. Groaning, she straightened her shoulders and followed his lead. “Is there somewhere downstairs we could go?”

  Reaching the top landing, he opened the door before turning to her and pulling her inside. “Yes. We have two rooms downstairs just for this.” Susie raised her eyebrow at him as he tugged her farther in and then shut and locked the door. She gulped as she looked around the large room for another exit. All she saw was windows. Susie took a step back and her body hit the door. She looked up in time to see his mouth descending on hers.

  Being a bear shifter had its benefits. One, he was stronger than any human. Two, he had better hearing and a heightened scene of smell, and right now he could smell she was turned on by him. Every time he touched her, her honey and mango scent intensified. Three, he could move a lot faster than humans, which he thought could come in handy now as he convinced her to stay while blocking all her exits.

  When Susie took the step back and hit the door, he took the opportunity to lower his mouth over hers to show her what he’d been dying to do since yesterday.

  Since she’d left, he’d had a permanent hard-on, which made his usual lazy Friday night one of the worst in his life. No matter how many times he’d jacked off or tried to sleep, he couldn’t, as thoughts and fantasies rushed through his mind. His bear growled in his head. Mate. Go find mate. Claim mate. We need her for cubs. Brian groaned, tossed, and turned all night. He was lucky if he even got an hour’s sleep.

  As his mouth touched hers, the outside world disappeared and she became his only focus. At first she was frozen, rigid against the door, until his tongue came out and traced along the seam of her lips. She opened on a gasp as he slowly moved his hands up her body, starting at her waist. Her own tongue came out to meet his, hesitantly at first, before she slowly melted into his embrace, meeting him and tangling their tongues together. He groaned as his hunger built for her.

  Brian slowly moved his hands up to her large rounded breasts, caressing her through the fabric until he got frustrated with the barrier of clothes between them. He allowed one hand to shift then used his bear claws to slice through her shirt and bra, leaving him free to play with her plump tits. She didn’t seem to have noticed how his hand changed. She was too busy with her own hands, which currently slid down his back and into his pants. Susie sighed into his mouth and squeezed his arse.

  Brian chuckled at her actions and pulled himself slightly away so he could figure out the best way to get the rest of their clothes off. His lips curled in a satisfied smirk as he ripped his own shirt off and pulled his shorts down without giving her the chance to even glance at his assets as he was a big guy, huge everywhere. Even though most women say they want a big cock, when they are in the presence of one, they usually run scared. Grabbing Susie around the waist, Brian yanked her pants off. He heard a rip but didn’t care. Her underwear followed quickly, landing on the floor behind them. She squealed and tried to cover herself with her hands. Picking her up, he moved to sit her on his desk. He then took a step back to get a better look at the treasure before him.

  Wow, magnificent. Her long brown hair sat fallen out of her braid. Her eyes had this dazed expression swirling in them. Her chest heaved and her breasts where perfect large globes that would overflow his hands. Her soft round tummy, which she was trying to cover with her hands, didn’t distract him from the smell and the white cream he could see dripping from her pussy.

  He knew the main reason she responded to him so strongly was because he was her mate, and no matter whether a person was a shifter or human, it was impossible to resist a true mate. No matter how hard a person tried, in the end, the true mate bond always won.

  Grinning, he dived between her thighs to lap at her honey. She cried out instantly as his tongue touched her lips. “Ahh, oh, Brian.”

  He grinned at the sound of his name as she panted it. She tasted so good. He probed with his tongue in and out, making sure he had every last drop. She bucked as he licked over her nub, and then sucked it in before giving it a nip on release. She squealed and he watched as her eyes got large. Her mouth opened in an “o” shape of wonder like she hadn’t felt what he was doing to her before. Her cheeks were bright red as she turned her head to the side and gave a shy smile as she slowly ground against him, and he chuckled at her innocent reactions. When he moved back up her body to do some tasting of some very ripe melons, Susie arched into him. She begged, “Please, I need to… Oh, come.”

  He looked up from her breasts, his mouth hovering over one, and he couldn’t resist. His tongue snuck out and circled around the pointed nipple before he sucked the whole thing in. With a pop, he released her and grinned up at her.

  “Oh, honey, you will come before I drive my dick home. I want to feel you come around my fingers. You’re gonna coat them with your cream.” Brian placed one thick finger in her pussy and sucked on her breasts, pumping his finger in and out until he felt her walls start to quiver. He added a second finger, thrusting them faster. Screaming, she arched into his hand. “Just a little more, come on. I’m so close.” He sucked harder on one succulent nipple, his tongue swirling around the tip, and he gave a gentle nip, then he repeated the treatment on the other side as he caressi
ng her nub with his thumb. Susie yelled out his name and he felt her walls contract around him.

  He brought her mouth to his and aligned his body so his cock teased her pussy opening. Lifting her arse off the table, he inched his dick into her tight depths. Susie gasped as he pushed further in and pulled her mouth away to pant “I… ahhh... you’re too big.”

  She wiggled her butt back but he kept her firmly in place.

  “Don’t move, honey. Your wiggling is putting me close to the edge. You’re so tight, and I’m trying to go slow for you, so you can get used to my size.”

  Moving his hands out from under her, he angled her body up so she could take more of him. Leaning down, Brian cupped her face, her eyes widened, her mouth open, her heavy breathing feathering over his face. “I have never seen a more beautiful sight in my life.” He pulled back and thrust the rest of the way in, took back her mouth and moved his hands down her body and back to cup and squeeze her arse. She screamed into his mouth and bit down on his bottom lip.

  His bear to come to the surface, roaring for dominance. Beating him back, Brian told himself she wasn’t ready for that side of him, having only met him yesterday. He didn’t know how she was going to react when she found out he was a grizzly bear shifter, let alone when they finished having sex here. Would she run? If she did, should he chase her? Would she accept him?

  God, what was he doing? Closing his eyes, he felt his mate plastered to him and told himself what an idiot he was for worrying about things he’d have time to worry about later. Hopefully when he had convinced her to stay with him.

  His eyes snapped open when she started to kiss her way down his face and neck and ground her arse into his hands, trying to get him to move, he growled, lifted her up, and swapped positions, so she straddled his lap.

  She looked startled at his speed. Without giving her time to contemplate it, he lifted her up so the tip of his penis sat just inside her. “Ride me, honey. Let me watch those fantastic tits bounce.”

  Her face turned bright red and a shy smile spread over her face as she slowly let herself fall, taking him back into her welcoming depths. Groaning, he let his hands slowly trail up her body, marvelling at the feel of her smooth-as-silk skin.

  Brian’s head fell back and he shut his eyes as he revelled in all the sensations bombarding him as she moved at a leisurely pace. His eyes snapped back open as her hands moved up his body and caressed his chest, hovering over his nipples. She leaned down and licked one while circling the other with her fingers. Fuck! She was driving him insane with her slow movements and gentle explorations of his chest. Gritting his teeth, he said, “Susie, honey, I don’t know how much longer I can hold on. Your pussy is so wet. Since I saw you yesterday, I have been craving your touch and taste, but most of all I want to claim you.”

  He growled, flipped her back over and laid her on his desk. He’d had enough of her slow torture. Holding her legs, he wrapped them around his waist as he moved all the way out and slammed home. Susie moaned and pushed herself to meet him, panting. She said, “More. Oh yeah, more of that.”

  He grinned, picking up his pace and plunging into her hot welcoming depths. A frenzy came over him as he watched his cock plunge home again and again while his mate begged and screamed for more. The inferno built in him until he couldn’t hold it any longer. Brian touched a hand to her clit, and as he moved out one last time, he pressed down on her nub and gently rubbed. Susie bucked and yelled his name as he slammed into her. He felt her vagina walls contract as she came around him. He followed, roaring her name and pouring himself into her. Her pussy muscles squeezed tight, milking him of every last drop of his cum.

  Sated, he rested over her body for a moment, satisfied for the first time in his life. His hands moved up her body. He loved the feel of her sweat-coated skin against his and the smell of their combined scent.

  Groaning when she started to wiggle underneath him, he knew they had to come back to reality. Moving to the chair, Brian sat her on his lap, enjoying the quiet while it lasted. He stroked her hair as he held her to him.

  “So, is that how you start a work out with all your new clients?” she asked.

  Brian winced at Susie’s comment before tilting her chin up so she saw his eyes when he replied, hoping she would see the truth in them.

  “You, Susie, are special. I promise you I have never slept with a client before. You, honey, are the first and will be the only.” He kissed her mouth, putting everything into it to show her she was the only one, would be the only one from now on. He just had to convince her.

  Chapter Three

  Oh, my God. What just happened? What had gotten into her? Okay, so Susie did know what happened as tingles from the best orgasm she’d ever had still racked her body. Shit! She’d just had the best sex of her life with her new personal trainer, who she’d only met yesterday. And he’d said he’d never been with a client before. Ha! Yeah, right. It was nice of him to say to her, but she highly doubted that, with his looks, he was telling her the truth.

  Susie groaned at her stupidity for having sex with a guy she’d only meet twenty-four hours ago and doing it in his office. What the hell had happened? She never reacted to a man the way she had Brian, but as soon as his skin touched hers, her body came alive, wanting more. What was it about this man that made her heart thud and her stomach flutter?

  Susie pushed on Brian’s chest and looked around the room for her clothing before frowning at the remains of her ripped bra, pants, and shirt. “What on earth am I going to wear now? I can’t go out like this. Um, please tell me the walls are sound proof? Oh God, I’m a slut. I just had sex with my personal trainer, who I only meet yesterday. I… Argh! I have to go. What am I going to do now? I’m going to have to find another trainer that’s for…”

  She stared up at him as a rumbling interrupted her ranting. Brian watched her with eyes she would swear flashed a darker blue and glowed. She moved her hands to cover her stomach and a grizzly bear growl come out of his mouth as he started to grow. Susie jumped, almost falling, but quick as lightning he reached out and saved her, pulling her back to him.

  Terrified, she wanted to scream but nothing would come out. Speechless, Susie stared at Brian, who looked normal again. Had she imagined it? She would swear he grew in height, and mass, and there was no doubt his eyes glowed. They were still glowing. Oh shit. She struggled to get free. “Let me go, please. I won’t tell anyone. I didn’t, haven’t seen anything.” His massive hands grabbed her face and she screamed as she fought to get away.

  A whine escaped his lips. “I didn’t want you to see this now. I wanted to give you some time to get to know me. You have nothing to worry about. I would never hurt you. Susie, you are the safest person in the world when you’re with me. I promise you’re safe.”

  She stopped partly to listen to him and also because he was so strong she couldn’t get anywhere. Susie supposed that if he’d wanted her dead, he’d had plenty of chances.

  “Fine. What do you want from me?” Oh God. An honest-to-God shifter held her in his arms. She’d read tons of books on shifters, werecreatures, and so on. She had even written about them in her own books. Susie had thought them mythical beings, fantasies of lonely women like her, and here she was right now with a hunk straight out of her books and she’d just asked him what he wanted. Groaning, she watched him raise his eyebrow.

  “Ah, besides you?”

  His grip loosened on her and he pulled her closer. He stroked her hair. “Susie, you are very special to me.”

  She snorted and his hand paused for a moment before he continued, “As you can see, I’m not human.”

  “No shit, Sherlock,” Susie answered.

  He pushed her back and glared at her. “Are you going to let me explain?”

  She stared at his gorgeous eyes, the perfect olive skin, and the most kissable lips she’d ever seen and sighed. “All right, all right you can talk, but I just want to add I feel like an idiot for not noticing straight away. I mean you a
re way too good looking.”

  He chuckled and kissed her forehead. “Oh, Susie, I can see I’m going to have my hands full with you.” She raised her eyebrow and started to talk, but his finger over her mouth stopped her. “My turn, remember?”

  She nodded and he pulled her closer.

  Brian took a deep breath of her honey and mango scent before he tried to explain everything. “You’re my mate. I am a bear shifter, a grizzly bear. My grandparents moved from America to Australia one hundred and fifty years ago. There are quite a few different shifters. We don’t have the same numbers as humans, because to have shifter children you have to have them with your true mate or a shifter of the same kind. Not many settle just so they can have kids. Most wait for their true mate, their soul mate.”

  He looked down at her and could see all the questions in her eyes so he tried to explain best he could. “Susie, I know you are my true mate. I could smell you yesterday as soon as I entered the office.”

  Her elbow ploughed into his chest and she growled out, “Are you saying I smell?”

  “No, honey, you smell like heaven to me. We recognise our mates from their smell, and I was also attracted to you instantly even though you’re not my usual type. I usually only date models or women who could model.”

  This time he wasn’t prepared for the punch she threw at him or the knee she thrust into his cock as she got off his lap and grabbed her tattered clothes. “Okay, I have heard enough. I’m out of here, and I don’t care who sees me. I don’t have to listen to this crap.”

  She shoved on his shorts and held them with one hand while she tied her baggy tattered shirt in knots the best she could with the other then stomped to the door, opened it, and left, slamming the door behind her.

  Brian sat for a moment trying to figure out what he said to offend her. He banged his head on the desk, groaning, when his words repeated in his head. Reaching for the phone he called down to Tayler and got a surprise when Jarrod, Tayler’s brother, answered the phone. “Where’s Tayler, Jarrod?”
