Chapter 9

Rick woke up with a start, sweat on his brow and his bear raging inside him. It was growling and slashing in his core, wild and uncontrollable, as if it were clawing his soul to shreds.

One of his arms was around Barbara, and when he lurched up it disturbed her, and she woke, too.

With a gasp, she said, “What is it, Rick?”

He turned away from her, not wanting her to see his face. “I’m … fine,” he said, but even he could hear the raggedness in his voice.

She laid a hand on his shoulder, and at first he started to jerk away from her touch—his animal was really going crazy inside him, as it did sometimes—but then something strange happened. Her touch … seemed to calm his bear. It had been raging and gnashing its teeth just moments before, but as soon as she touched him it began to grow mellower, more tractable.

Shocked, Rick turned back to her.

“You,” he said.

Her eyes widened in alarm. “W-what?”

She must have thought she’d done something wrong. He laughed and hugged her to him, and at the contact his bear mellowed even more, at least subsiding altogether.

“You’re amazing,” he said, completing his earlier thought.

“I … what?” She blinked and rubbed her eyes. “What just happened? What am I missing?”

He kissed her on the mouth, and after a moment she kissed back. Then drew away.

“I’ve got sleep breath,” she said, covering her mouth with a hand.

“Your sleep breath tastes like roses. Barb, don’t you know what this means?”

“That your human nose kind of sucks?”

He grinned and stood up. It was early morning and the birds were just beginning to chirp in the trees. The sun was sluggishly heaving itself over the peaks to the east, casting warm orange light over the falls and making them seem to glow from within. The light made Barbara look even more beautiful than before, and it didn’t hurt that she was naked except for the bra and panties she’d put back on. She’d thrown her clothes over herself as a blanket, but they’d fallen away when she sat up.

“It means that you’re my mate,” he said, as if it were obvious.

“Your mate,” she said. She sounded shocked—but not horrified. After all, they’d talked about it last night, or at least he had. They hadn’t mentioned it since, though.

Her reaction encouraged him. He nodded and held out a hand to her. After a moment, she took it and let him pull her to her feet. He wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her against him, and instantly he could feel himself begin to harden against her belly. His bear growled inside him, and he growled, too, but this time it was a different sort of growl. A lusty growl.

Barbara laughed but pushed herself away. “Can you explain just a little bit about what’s going on?”

“Don’t you see? No woman has ever been able to handle my bear before. But here you are, and at one touch from you my bear chilled the hell out.
