The last thing Knox wanted to do was frighten his mate, so he sat next to Levi on the workshop floor and pulled him close.
“My bear won’t hurt you, even if he looks scary. Remember—it’s still me, and I’ll be able to understand everything you say. How about if I just sit quietly and let you take a look?”
Levi nodded.
“All right. Is there anything else?”
“Well, he’ll want to scent you and don’t be surprised if he tries to lick you all over. Thump him on the nose if he gets too pushy. He will chase you if you run from him, and climbing a tree won’t stop him either. All the food in here is going to be too distracting, so why don’t we go outside?”
Knox took Levi’s hand, leading him out to the small yard behind the house. When he started taking off his clothes, Levi yelped and tried to look away.
“No. I want you to watch me shift so you know what to expect.”
Levi agreed, trying not to drool as the clothes came off. Knox wasmagnificent,and Levi couldn’t hide his arousal at the sight of the big, muscled, hairy man. He didn’t have to stare to notice the impressive package between Knox’s legs either, and the big guy made no attempt to cover up. He got down on all fours and gave Levi a final warning.
“It will happen fast, so watch closely. If you want me to shift back, just say so.”
Levi gave the butterflies in his stomach a stern talking-to.
“OK. Whenever you’re ready.”
Knox didn’t close his eyes or cry out in pain as Levi expected. Instead, the transformation began with black hair shooting outward from every inch of his skin simultaneously. Then Knox’s body began to expand like a balloon while his head and facial features morphed from human to bear. The last thing to appear was the short, curved claws on each of his paws. The whole process took about twelve seconds, and there sat his boyfriend’s ursine form. As promised, Knox remained seated on the ground, madly sniffing the air.
Levi gawked. He couldn’t help it. The beautiful animal was heavier and smaller than he expected and entirely black except for his brown muzzle and eyes. Hence the name “black bear”, though he’d read they also had coats in other colors. Levi’s fear began to fade as curiosity took over, and he moved closer.
“May I touch you?”
The bear nodded as a human might and made a strange clicking sound, watching his mate closely. Levi reached out and gently scratched one of his round ears, and Knox leaned into the pressure. Next, he ran both hands over the soft, thick fur around the bear’s head and shoulders. Knox enjoyed this even more and began a deep, steady rumbling—almost purring like a cat. Delighted to elicit such a response, Levi laughed and suddenly found himself in a literal bear hug.
Knox scented him, of course—his large, mobile nose leaving a trail of moisture on Levi’s exposed neck. Next came the predicted licking, using an unusually long and flexible tongue. It tickled, and Knox let Levi go so he could move back a few steps. The bear decided to get up on all fours and give his mate a better look. Levi walked around him, petting the soft fur as he went and praising the beast’s power and beauty.
“You’re amazing, Knox! It’s hard to believe you’re in there, but I guess if you weren’t, I wouldn’t be able to get this close.”
Levi paused to glide hands over Knox’s face and down the thickly-furred chest while the bear rumbled in pleasure. When the licking started again, Levi’s laughter prompted Knox to shift back to human form. Stark naked, the glorious man stood inches from his mate, chest heaving and cock fully engorged. The pleading in Knox’s eyes was unmistakable. Unable to deny him, Levi wrapped his prick in a warm, soft hand.
Knox’s generous foreskin made lube unnecessary, and the aroused shifter growled lustily as Levi began short, tight strokes. Knox grabbed his mate’s face for punishing kisses, using his long tongue to examine and taste Levi’s hot mouth. Distracted by sensation, he jumped when Levi reached down to fondle his heavy nuts, tugging on the sack. Spurred by his lover’s reaction, Levi used both hands to enclose Knox’s nine-inch beast and encouraged him to thrust.
Seconds later, Knox let loose with a series of deep grunts—each accompanied by another blast of cum. Levi turned to avoid most of it while maintaining his iron grip on Knox’s impressive manhood. When the pulsing stopped, Levi stooped to wipe his hands on the soft grass. Knox then wrapped him in strong arms, whispering thanks as he nibbled at the hot spot under Levi’s left ear. Incredibly, his indomitable dick came back to life, and he asked his mate a question.
“What do you need? I’d like to please you.”
Levi shook his head but remained in Knox’s arms.
“I don’t need anything. I did it for you. Give me a little more time, Knox. Please?”
“You’re awfully hard to resist, you know. My bear wants everything, and I agree with him, but I won’t force you.”
Grateful, Levi gave him a lingering kiss and then began handing Knox his clothes. Before he went home, they returned to the workshop for another thirty minutes of work, interspersed with knowing looks and gentle touches. Knox escorted his mate to the jeep, kissed him soundly, and keened in frustration as he drove away.

Two weeks later, LuzerneCounty fairgrounds
Levi tugged his shirt down, shimmied his boner into an upright position, and tried to pretend Knox hadn’t mauled him during the House of Horror ride. As soon as they’d disappeared into the dark, the big bear’s hands and mouth were all over him—not that he minded. A trip to the fair was Knox’s idea of something fun they could do together and give both of them a break from the nut harvest of the last few weeks. It wasn’t over yet, but if the squirrels ended up with a larger share of acorns, Knox considered it a fair exchange for spending time with Levi.
The ride attendant gave them a curious look as they disembarked. Levi, red-faced, kept his eyes down while Knox grinned ear to ear and led his mate by the hand to the midway. First came the ring-toss, which Knox handily won, allowing Levi to choose the prize. When he asked for a cute brown teddy bear, Knox frowned. Levi leaned over to whisper in his ear.
“Jealous? Don’t worry, big guy, I happen to be partial to black bears. I hear they’re fun to snuggle with.”
