  “Dave, please.”

  “Please what, baby doll?”

  “Please don’t tease me. I’m sorry, for everything, and I love you, too,” she whispered breathlessly. He continued to kiss her neck and stroke her nipples through the satin of her dress.

  Whenever she let a breathy sigh escape, he tightened his grip in her hair, and she felt an electric shock race down her spine. Her pussy tingled with every brush of his lips, pull of her hair and caress on her body. Liquid heat threatened to escape down her thighs and she suddenly remembered her lack of undergarments. She’d had something special planned for the previous night, but after she’d foiled her own plan, the thought of underwear had been the furthest thing from her mind.

  He kneeled down in front of her and slid his hands up her thighs, under her dress.

  “Let’s get these panties off of you,” he said, and she stiffened.

  When he didn’t find the lacy material, he pushed her dress up to her waist, and shoved the extra material in her bound hands. The cave was dark, but her eyes had adjusted enough to see his expression as he studied her bare pussy.

  “Where are your panties, baby doll?” he asked in a stern voice, forcing her legs further apart. He sounded angry, and his reaction confused her.

  “I…didn’t wear them,” she confessed.

  “Didn’t wear them for whom?” he prodded. The whole time he spoke, he outlined her pussy with his finger. In the open position, she couldn’t stop her essence from forming a trail down her thighs. He continued his relentless teasing, while she stood unmoving.

  “I didn’t wear them for you.”

  “You were naked under your dress during dinner?”

  “Yes.”

  “Do you have a bra on?”

  “No. The dress has built in support, and I wanted you to have…,” she trailed off.

  “Wanted me to have what?”

  “Easy access,” she admitted.

  He stood back up and pulled the straps of her dress down her arms to her breasts, exposing the bare flesh, and limiting her mobility further.

  “Stay there, and don’t move,” he said, and stepped away from her.

  He turned on the flashlight and faced it toward a wall, propped up by a rock. It provided enough light to see him undress as he watched to make sure she followed his orders. When he’d removed all of his clothes, he spread them out on the floor of the cave and laid down on top of them.

  “You want me?” he asked. “Come and get me.”

  His cock jutted out from his body, firm and willing, but she understood his actions. The next move was hers and they didn’t have any condoms. She could take him, and mark him now, or she could lower her dress and ask him to remove the cuffs.

  She walked over to him and lowered herself to her knees over his body. He made her work for what she wanted, and she rubbed her pussy over his cock until it was slick with her need, then she maneuvered her body so the tip lined up with her channel.

  She sank down on him easily, taking every inch until they were tightly joined. She leaned forward, placed her palms on his chest for leverage, and began to move.

  He placed one hand on the small of her back, and pulled her down, stopping her movements. He met her halfway for a kiss and his hand came down hard on her ass. Her pussy tightened around him, and he smiled, sexy and raw. He spanked her again with the same result, and she felt his cock throb and expand.

  “Fuck me,” he said, and released her.

  She slowly moved up and down his cock until she found her rhythm, and then she bounced as if her life depended on it. In a way, maybe it did, because she needed him more than she’d ever needed anything or anyone.

  His fingers gripped her hips to the point of pain, but she didn’t care. The only thing that mattered was claiming her mate.

  “Dave, are you sure?” she asked.

  “I’m sure, baby doll,” he said, sitting up. “Mark me.”

  She placed her cuffed hands over his neck and pulled him closer. He held onto her waist as if she were a life raft. Together, they came, and she sank her canines into his neck.

  They stayed joined together, even as their breathing returned to normal, and the reality of their mating rushed to the surface. She was exactly where she wanted to be.

  Dave ducked out from under her arms and reached for a key. He released the cuffs, and rubbed her wrists. His care reiterated she’d made the right decision, and she met his gaze with one of her own.

  “You’re mine now,” he said.

  “And you’re mine.”

  “Thank god,” he said, and kissed her gently on the lips.

  ***

  Dave cracked open one eye when the sun’s bright rays lit up the cave. Knowing their location, and the direction of the sun, it had to be around ten in the morning.

  Shit!

  He was supposed to work at nine. Luckily, his boss would be understanding once he explained everything. He smiled when he thought about the two other times he took Emma after their mating. Once she let go, and gave him everything, their chemistry moved to a combustible level.

  Emma stirred in his arms and he smiled when he saw the ripped strap on her dress. During their third joining, he’d yanked on the material and it gave up without a fight.

  “Wake up, sleepy head.”

  “Mmmm…,” she moaned and snuggled in closer to his bare chest.

  He’d righted her dress, and put back on his jeans, but his shirt had stayed on the ground for the little protection it offered.

  “Dave! Emma!”

  “Emma! Dave!”

  “Wake up, baby doll. We’re about to have company.”

  He recognized the voices of Gage and Seth, and he had a feeling Gage might not be as understanding as he had hoped.

  Emma got to her feet and he shook out his shirt and pulled it over his head. She smoothed down her dress, but it was a wasted effort. Nothing except a warm shower and clean clothes could make them look like they hadn’t been having sex all night.

  “Your hair is sticking up all over the place. Is mine?” she asked.

  “You look like you just got fucked all night long by your loving mate.”

  “So wild, hot sex hair?”

  “Yep. You ready?”

  “Yes. Let’s go.”

  They emerged from the cave holding hands, at the same time Seth and Gage walked up the hill to inspect the dwelling.

  “What the hell is going on?” Gage roared, but he didn’t let them answer. Instead he continued to yell and point an accusing finger at each of them. “First you go missing for a day and a half, and then you don’t show up to work. You two need to get your act together and either be a couple or break up for—”

  Gage zoned in on his mate mark, and a smile lit up his face.

  “Well, I’ll be damned,” he laughed. “Congratulations.”

  Gage hugged Emma, and Seth pulled him into a hug, offering congratulatory words. They switched places so Seth could hug Emma, and Gage shook his hand.

  “I already considered you a member of my clan, but it’s nice to make it official. Welcome to the family,” the man said, and pulled him into a hug.

  Suddenly, Aaron appeared on the top of the hill behind them.

  “Gage, it’s Kate,” he said. “She’s in labor.”

  Epilogue

  Emma looked around the tiny waiting room of the clinic and studied her clan mates.

  At six feet, seven inches tall, her cousin Seth had always been bigger than everyone. He’d always been like a huge teddy bear to her, but she’d seen others keep their distance when he walked into a room.

  Even though Darcy stood nearly a foot shorter than him, she somehow made him seem more approachable. Maybe it was because his love for her was tangible, and everyone around could see it surrounding them.

  She’d only had a few encounters with the twins, but if you saw Sam, their mate, alone with only one of them, you’d instinctively know something was missing.

  The
way they held their mate made her smile.

  Cade’s arm rested around Sam’s shoulders, and Collin’s hand laced with hers and rested on her thigh. It was obvious only one twin would never make their mate completely happy.

  Aaron and his mate, Sara, huddled together and talked in whispers.

  She’d met Aaron through Gage, years ago, and she hadn’t been lying when she’d said she never thought she’d see him mated. He’d battled his inner demons for a long time, and it was nice to see he’d found someone who could love all of him.

  Seeing his love for Sara proved miracles happened when you least expected.

  Even though pregnancy rates were nearly one hundred percent for bears, Sara was the only one in the room expecting. She was a month along, and Aaron doted on her constantly.

  The chatter died down as they waited for Gage to return with news, and Emma felt something stir inside of her. She carried not one, but two energies, proving that bears were prone to carrying twins.

  The excitement of the morning must have covered up their presence.

  “What are you all looking at?” Dave demanded.

  Startled by his outburst, she looked up to see all of the men smiling at her, and all the women looking on with hopeful interest. They suspected, but they didn’t know. The only one in the dark was her mate.

  Luckily, she’d mated a police officer and he was used to piecing together clues.

  “Are you pregnant?” he whispered in her ear.

  “Yes,” she whispered back.

  “Twins?”

  “Yes.”

  Before he could say anything else, Gage burst into the waiting room carrying his sons. Their beautiful, perfect faces looked up at her, and she knew she’d made the right decision to stay in Bear Mountain.

  As everyone took their turn to welcome the bundles of joy, she stood back and dried her eyes. Her two new cousins needed their aunt, and she needed her family and her clan, but most of all, she needed her mate.

  Dave appeared next to her, took one look, and smothered her in a hug.

  “I love you, baby doll,” he said, and kissed her forehead. “I’m so happy.”

  “I love you, my mate,” she said, and tightened her arms around him.

  For the first time in her life, she believed in everlasting love.

  When you found the right man…he stayed.
