Between the Bear's Sheets (Wylde Brothers 2)

Talia and the male shared the same blood, and the fact that the man was related to her had the wild, edgy bear inside him calming.

What the fuck was wrong with him?

Ford was pleased that she was trying but failing to keep her eyes off him. He could smell her curiosity and arousal, and he knew it was directed at him by the fact that her cheeks turned a pretty shade of pink the longer she stared at him.

The blond male sitting beside her looked fierce as he said something to her.

She broke eye contact with Ford and started arguing with him. After a minute, he shook his head and stood, the other two males following suit. The guys left her at the table alone, a big mistake for more than one reason, but lucky for him, because he wasn’t wasting another moment to start up whatever this was that simmered between them.

Pushing away from the bar, he made his way through the gyrating bodies and stopped in front of her. He felt feral inside, ready to haul her up and claim her in front of everyone. The bear inside him clawed to get out, to take supremacy over the situation. Ford fought the fucker back, because no way in hell was the asshole getting Talia.

She was his, and even if he and his bear were of the same entity, he was the alpha, not the other way around. Her pulse quickened, and the scent of her arousal and nervousness fueled his own lust. His cock pulsed behind his jeans, begging to be released.

Why his presence put her on edge was a mystery to him, but the fact that she desired him as much as he did her had him wanting nothing else but to take her to his place right the fuck now.

That thought had him stilling. Take her back to his place? He wanted to take Talia to his place, wanted her in his bed, smelling of him with his dick buried deep inside her. The feeling of his bear wanting anything to do with a female was odd to him, because never had his inner animal wanted to come out and show its dominance.

His bear always stayed in the back, letting Ford take the reins and control the situation. On this occasion, it seemed his bear wanted Ford to take the backseat while he dominated this little red fox, and damn was he going to take her good and hard.

He didn’t want to frighten her, so he schooled his features and took the seat beside her. The way she shifted in her seat, and the increased potency of her arousal, told him Talia was already primed for him, even if she was nervous as hell.

Maybe he should have gone easy with her, not rushed things or tried to get her under him so quickly. But fuck it, he wanted this, needed this, and for the first time in his life, he wanted a female more than he wanted his next breath.

Was there something else between him and Talia, something more elemental, and that was why he had such a strong desire to have her? Or maybe he was just thinking too fucking hard.

He couldn’t help it though, not with his arousal and testosterone coursing through his veins like two damn freight trains coming at each other, just getting ready to crash together. She squirmed in her seat again, and the smell of her innocent lust slammed into him and caused his dick to stiffen even further. If he got any harder, his damn cock would bust right through his jeans.

“Talia.” He leaned in an inch and inhaled deeply. He was on autopilot now, unable to stop himself from making it pretty fucking clear what he wanted. His bear growled deep inside at her intoxicating aroma. “Those males shouldn’t have left you alone.” He cast a glance at the shifters at the bar, and even though he knew one of them was related to her, he couldn’t help but wonder if she was with one of the other two males.

That had his claws starting to unsheathe as his animal came to the forefront. He’d fight for her, draw blood, and do some major fucking damage to claim her as his. “If you were mine, I wouldn’t let you out of my sight. That only gives others the impression they can come sniffing around what isn’t theirs, and that leads to broken bones and bloody bodies.”

Her eyes widened, and he knew he was going too fast, saying feral things, and he was going to run her off before anything happened between them. “E-Excuse me?” she stuttered a little, and he found himself leaning closer to her, needing to have her heat and scent surrounding him.

She looked over her shoulder, and Ford followed her line of sight. The three males were engaged with other females.
