He kisses my neck, his teeth grazing my skin like he wants to eat me alive.

I shudder. I’m so ready for him.

“Lucy Cole…” he growls in my ear.

I shiver in delight. “Why do you always use my whole name?”

He draws back, his lips quirking. “Because that’s how you introduced yourself when you booked the room. Your voice was the sweetest sound I’d heard in my life, and I knew right then that you were the one.”

My breath catches. “You did?”

“Yup. Well, my bear knew, anyway.”

I run my fingers along his jawline. “Good. Your bear knows what’s best for you.”

“I sure hope so.”

“Now, what were you going to tell me?”

“That I need to get clean.” He deposits me gently on the ground.

I realize how wet and heavy my robe’s gotten, and I tug it off my shoulders and let it fall to the floor.

His gaze fixates on my body in my drenched underwear, and he lets off a tortured groan.

Fuck, he makes me feel so sexy, so wanted.

“Shower, now,” he mutters, and stalks off to the bathroom. As he turns, I catch sight of his cock, straining against his zipper, and I can hardly breathe.

I hear the shower go on. Beside me, the hot tub is still swirling invitingly. Better sit down before I fall down. I sink right down into the hot water with a sigh.

A flame of need has lit in my belly and it spreads all through me. I’m about to lose my virginity to this man. He’s so big, all over, and I don’t know how his cock is going to fit inside me, but I’m going to try. Because I want him to claim me more than I’ve wanted anything in my life.

And I want to show him that I’m ready for him. Ready to be the mate of a bear.

I strip off my underwear and throw it aside. I’m nervous as heck for him to see me naked, but I want to meet him equally.

Feels different being naked in the water. And when I settle back down, just so happens that there’s a little water jet, right between my thighs…

I jerk away from it. Naughty hot tub. I’m saving myself for Preston.

Instead, I wait, agonizing seconds until the shower goes off. I hear him towel himself dry.

And there he is, in all his naked glory. Standing in the doorway, his cock bigger than ever.

Preston

The sight of Lucy in her wet underwear throbs in my brain as I scrub myself under the hot water. It had gotten all see-through, and I could make out the darker shade of her nipples and the little patch of hair between her thighs. My beast nearly got out of control. It was all I could do to stop it from snatching her up and mating her right then and there.

Being away from her now is torture, but I want to get all the mud off, all the memories of those bozos I just hauled down from the mountain, so I can be ready to give my girl everything she needs.

At last, I’m done. Clean all over, and my cock jutting out, fit to burst. When I step out of the bathroom, it leads me toward her like a homing device, desperate to get to her sweet virgin pussy.

Then she stands up, and she’s already naked.

Holy crap. She’s even more beautiful than I imagined.
