I hope he keeps me.

Chapter Ten-Dante

My mate’s sweet pussy was definitely number one in my top five favorite things to eat.

No question.

Seeing her naked and on her back with my cum decorating her pretty pale skin was number one on my top favorite sights.

Hell, it was just about the best damn thing I’d ever seen.

Having her return my kiss and pulling me down on top of her sweet body, despite or maybe because of the mess clinging to the two of us, well, that was just my favorite thing of all.

“You’re hard again,” she pointed out, opening her legs wide and sliding her wet pussy against my rock hard dick.

“I’m always hard around you,” I told her.

Hell, it was only the truth.

My Bear was growling nonstop, and my chest rumbled with it. As if she understood, Avery stroked me there, trying to soothe the monster inside me.

But she couldn’t really understand.

She didn’t know how desperate he was to claim her.

“We should stop now, Honey. Bear’s feeling possessive,” I said, even though it was killing me to even suggest it.

“Don’t you want to do it?” she asked.

The vulnerability I saw in her eyes cut me like a knife. She was so damn wonderful, but for some reason, Avery didn’t see it.

I hated that for her. It was part of the reason I knew I’d be a good mate. I could show her how perfect she was. Help build up what the world tried to break down.

Avery deserved that. She deserved it all.

For now, I simply nodded. I pressed my forehead to hers, hardly able to comprehend the gift that was her. But I knew just how lucky I was to have her there with me.

Being in the moment with her was better than I had dreamed.

Can you even imagine that?

How could someone surpass even your wildest expectations?

I was a fairly simple man, I supposed. But Avery was something else. She was better than me. I knew that. But I would work every day for the rest of my life to earn a shot at keeping her here.

“Yes,” I answered her previous question. “Fuck, yes, I want to. But the Bear wants to claim you, and I don’t know if I can stop him once we get started.”

Grrr.

Avery was looking at me with her pretty amber eyes, all big and sparkling. Christ, she was beautiful. And I wanted her more than anything in this whole world.

“Would that be so bad? If you claimed me?” she asked, ducking her head like she was shy with me all of a sudden.

If it wasn’t for that slight hesitancy, I would have bitten her right then. My Bear chuffed, the animal was already decided. But it was more complicated than that.

Claiming bites weren’t like human marriages. If I tethered myself anymore to this woman, I would never be able to walk away.

What she’d already given me was so precious, so perfect. I didn’t think I could give her up as it was.
