“This is going to freak you out a lot,” he said. “But if you stay there and watch, instead of running away again, it will explain a lot. I promise you are not inanydanger, okay? What’s about to happen…you’ll be perfectly safe.”
“Watch?” she asked incredulously as his belt came off and the jeans started to slide down his thick legs. “That’s all you think? You’re surely not gonna come over here and start rubbing up and down me like I’m a greased-up pole?”
Kincaid doubled over in laughter. “What? No, absolutely not. It’s just…well, I like these pants and that shirt. I don’t want to destroy them, you know? I want to save them. Plus driving while naked is just…weird.”
Haley was totally and completely confused now. Well, maybe not completely confused. She’d seen naked men before, but none quite as stunningly gorgeous as Kincaid. That sort of luck had evaded her. Until now, it seemed, as he reached for the waistband.
“Kincaid, I don’t need to see your dick. Trust me, I’ve seen a few before. They don’t freak me out anymore, I’m not some nervous teenager.”
He paused, thumbs hooked under the waistband. “That’s not why I’m doing this.”
“Then whyareyou doing it?”
“Have you ever put cold jeans against your bare dick and balls?”
She frowned at his blunt language. “Obviously not.”
“Well, let me just tell you, it’s not a pleasant sensation. And that’s why I’m saving these, get it?”
Haley started to nod. Then she shook her head. “What? No, I don’t get it. At all. Did you ever consider, oh I don’t know,not taking them off?”
She said the words forcefully, trying to stay grounded in reality, but truthfully, she was a little curious. The white boxer-briefs weren’t exactly loose and flowing. They had a fairly considerable, ah, bulge, to them, and her eyes kept straying in that direction.
You’re an adult. Not some hormone-infested teen or college girl. You can go without seeing his dick. This guy is not your friend! You barely know him, and now you’re about to see him naked. And you have no idea why.
“You might want to sit down,” Kincaid said, gesturing at the nearest table, where a stool had been slid underneath it.
“Seriously?” But she walked over and grabbed the stool, the entire time acting completely unimpressed. “I’m not going to faint just because you take your boxers off. I swear, if this is how you normally get women, youneedto work on your technique because one day it’s going to get you in a lot of trouble.”
“Contrary to whatever is going on in your mind, I do think about more than just sex,” Kincaid fired back. “Now hold on.”
She didn’t have time to fire back a reply before the man in front of her stripped completely naked—with a level of ease to it that was noticeable, even with her distracted vision. Haley was swiftly brought back to reality by what happened next.
It started as a shiver that ran from his head to his toes. Then his skin started to lose its color, growing paler by the nanosecond, until it was nearly tundra-white. After that, therealchanges started, as thick white fur sprouted, starting at his neck, elbows, knees, and abdomen before spreading across his body.
His rapidlygrowingbody.
“What the fuck,” she gasped.
Sickening snaps followed as Kincaid jerked slightly a few times as his joints rearranged themselves, allowing him to rest naturally on all fours. Finally, she watched as his face shifted and jutted forward, huge teeth filling in the gaps.
“Oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck,” she repeated, slowly slipping from the stool as Kincaid kept growing, rendering him bigger than any bear she’d ever seen, his presence filling the entire room until it felt like the walls should be bulging to accommodate him.
Then the bear sat down, its mass enough to send a tiny tremor through the warehouse floor. It chuffed quietly, then rolled onto its back, casually pushing the nearest workstation away to create the space necessary. She kept backing away, even as it seemed to lounge happily in a completely non-threatening manner.
Except for its sheer size, muscular nature, and fearsome visage.Oh, and the fact it used to be Kincaid!
At some point, the bear became aware of her slow retreat deeper into the warehouse. She’d miscalculated in her disbelief, choosing simply to back away instead of heading for one of the exits, and now she was trapped as it got to its feet and meandered toward her.
“Stay back!” she shouted, her voice cracking.
The bear stopped.
“Did you just…can…did you just roll your eyes at me?”
The bear nodded, its massive jowls bouncing up and down. Then it shook its head and the creature shrank. A handful of seconds later, she was confronted with the once-again naked Kincaid. Theimpressivelynaked Kincaid.
Grow up. The dude just changed into a bear, and all you can do is stare at his huge cock? There are, pardon the phrasing, bigger things to worry about right now.
