Page 18 of Sasquatch's Claiming

“You were able to cross the veil, which in itself is strange.”

“I felt I was in another world that night.”

“Only a few humans can pass through Coraliane’s glamour that she uses on her bar.” It just hit him as a sudden realization that she could. No wonder Cillian had been so curious about her, no wonder that dust imp had been after her. There was something special about her, which strengthened his resolve all the more.

He had to protect her.

Bernadette worried her bottom lip. “I have always felt out of place and out of sync. And my parents were way too overprotective of me.”

“Are they…”

“They’re dead. Died a few months ago in a car accident after bringing me to the city.”

Ben could sense there was more she wanted to say, but didn’t.

“I’m sorry about your parents. Mine are gone too.”

“Thanks. Anyways, no one in my town thought much of me, the short chubby girl.”

“Then they’re fools.” He took a step forward, glancing down at his curvy little beauty. He touched her face, gently sliding his fingers over her soft skin, reveling in the silkiness and warmth. Her blonde hair so soft, tickling the coarseness of his own skin.

“So what happens now? I was told to find you and claim you.” There was a hitch of excitement or possibly nervousness in her voice. “It seemed urgent that I did.”

A flush bloomed across her round cheeks, like she was a ripe peach ready for tasting and he was oh so hungry.

“Before anything happens, there is something I need to tell you,” she said, wringing her hands together.

“Of course.”

“It might change everything.”

Now he was intrigued because he wasn’t sure how that could be possible. “Okay. Tell me.”

“I can’t have kids. Some kind of weird infection. I’ve never had a cycle. I have all the parts, but doctors said they’re not functioning. Are you disappointed? Does it change how you feel about me?”

“It changes nothing,” he said vehemently, and she looked relieved.

Sure, he wanted young ones, but he wanted her more.

“I’ll get you settled. I want you to be comfortable.”

A smile spread on her supple lips. “I am comfortable with you, Ben. It feels like I’ve known you for so long.”

“I felt that connection too,” he admitted. “Whatever happens here between us, I want you to be ready and for you to want this. My kind, we mate for life. My life is tied to yours. I feel everything you feel.”

Her breathing increased. “Everything?”

“Everything.”

Her fingers slipped through his fur, lightly touching the skin on his belly, making him ache with a need to claim her.

“Does it go both ways?” she asked softly.

“I think so, but I’ve never had a connection like this before.”

“Well, why don’t we find out then?”

It wastime to make her dreams a reality. And now she recalled with vivid clarity the night they met, when she’d given into that primal urge and had the best sex she’d ever had in her life and that happened to be with a Sasquatch. Her body remembered him and how good it felt with his huge cock pumping in and out of her.
