Chapter 7

Gannon stood up to stretch. The birds in the trees around him were startled out of their resting place, and he looked around. It couldn’t have been because of him. He’d been out here for two hours or more as his bear, and they seemed to be used to him now.

Looking around, he saw Melody coming toward him. She looked as if she was giving herself a good talking too as well. When she turned in his direction, she stopped moving and talking. He could have spoken to her if he wanted, but really, right now, he didn’t know what he’d say to her. Sitting down on his butt, Gannon and his bear waited to see what she was going to do. There wasn’t any way that she missed him being a large bear. Something that she hated.

“I got lost twice, or I might have been here sooner. Can you hear me?” He nodded at her. “Good. I’d like to come closer to you, but I don’t want you to move just yet. I’m very nervous about what you’ll do when I tell you what a fool I’ve been.”

He didn’t move, but he did watch her as she drew closer. Before he could stop his bear, which at times seemed to be a separate person from him, he dropped down on his belly and began clawing his way to her, digging out large rocks and dirt as he moved.

“I’m not terribly afraid of him.” She took several more steps toward them and then stopped again. “Okay, I’m afraid of him. I’m not going to lie to you, but honestly, I’m afraid of his size, not him. Understand?”

His bear nodded again but paused in his movement toward her. When they were still several feet apart, Bear sat up and watched her. Gannon had never begged his bear for anything before, but he did so now, asking him not to scare their mate.

“I was going to ask you to shift, but you’d be naked, right?” Again, Bear nodded. “Yes, I thought so. Not that I think I’d mind that too much, to see you in all your glory. But right now I think we need to talk. Or I need to grovel, and I’d like for you to listen. Can I get closer to you?”

Bear put out his hands like he was offering her his body in a huge hug. His claws were there too, dirty and sharp, and he knew that she was afraid. They could both smell it on her. When she finally took two steps toward them again, she halved the distance between them.

“I’ve been a fool. More than that, I’ve been a hurtful, distrusting fool. I should have listened to my heart more than my head. It’s only occurred to me in the last hour that they can have their own ideas about what I need, and I never realized how wrong my head could be about me.” She shook her head. “I don’t think I’m saying this right.
