Page 24 of Her Embarrassed Bear Mate

The long nails of the bear's claw clicked against the glass and this time, it definitely gestured to the handle.

Carefully, Alix slid the door open slightly. "Hello...?"

The bear grunted softly and stuck its nose into the house.

Panic got the better of Alix and she quickly slammed the glass door shut. A cloud of pink smoke engulfed the bear and the form changed into Veronica. A very naked Veronica who looked a little shocked.

"Hey, you almost hit me," she said as she came intothe house.

"Sorry, I didn't know it was you," Alix defended herself. Only an insane person would let a bear walk into their home and she'd almost been insane.

Veronica shrugged. "Fair enough."

"You gave me a total fright. I thought I was alone here and suddenly there was a bear in the garden. Why didn't you go on the walk?"

"You seemed uncomfortable over breakfast so I stayed behind to give you some space."

"Looks like that backfired on us," Alix muttered, unable to stop staring. She knew it was bad form on her part, she knew she was being blatantly obvious about it too, but seeing Veronica naked like this was making her brain glitch.

Veronica seemed entirely unbothered by being naked. Or being looked at, for that matter. If anything, there seemed to be a little bit of a pleased grin floating around her lips as she paraded through the house without any attempt to cover or get dressed.

She got herself a glass of water and returned to the living room, still totally naked. "Are you enjoying yourself?"

Alix stuttered. "Sorry?"

"Watching me." The hint of a grin grew into a full smirk. "You're staring."

Nonsensical gibberish noises left Alix's mouth and her cheeks started to burn. Once again, she was powerless against her own desires and the impossible temptation that was Veronica. It was embarrassing how any and all thoughts had left her mind, only to be replaced with a haze of lust.

Veronica paused right in front of her. "So you do want me?"

"Was there ever any doubt?" Alix asked, finally managing to find her voice.

"Well... We didn't sleep together that first night. And last night, you didn't seem interested either." Veronica actually sounded insecure.

Alix was absolutely baffled by that. She thought she'd been the least subtle person ever in how much she'd been staring at Veronica. Maybe she'd done a better job at avoiding the bear shifter than she thought after all.

All that restraint was long gone.

Without wasting a second, Alix pulled Veronica into her and captured her in a desperate passionate kiss, hoping to convey just how much she wanted her. All the good reasons why they should stay away from each other went out the window as she felt Veronica's body against hers. Her skin was cold frombeing outside and Alix was desperate to warm Veronica up.

"How long are the others going to be gone?" Alix asked between kisses, just barely holding onto the last ounce of sense.

"The walk is about two hours and my dad always likes to go for a drink in the local pub at the end," Veronica panted.

"Good."

They wasted no time removing Alix's clothes, a feat much easier when nobody was drunk, and finally, they were both naked. Skin to skin, hands running all over each other, kisses that grew more careless and wild. There was so much desire coursing through Alix's body, it was making her tremble.

She sank down on the couch, moaning as Veronica ended up on top of her. It was a sight to behold. The bright winter sunlight from outside was casting harsh shadows on Veronica's body and showing off all her curves. Alix's gaze was drawn to the pink mark on Veronica’s hip, not that she needed any proof that Veronica was truly a bear shifter.

She’d seen that with her own eyes.

Without thinking, she traced one of the swirlinglines with the tip of her finger. It was really pretty and looked so good on Veronica’s pale skin.

“That tickles,” Veronica said with a cute giggle.

Alix's apology got lost in their next kiss. She pressed herself into the kiss, desperate to touch and be touched. Veronica’s mouth felt so good, especially when she kissed Alix's neck with her burning lips.
