* * * *

At some point, Holt must have fallen asleep with Jaeda. He awoke to the

realization that his shirt was gone and his mate was rubbing against the smattering of

hair on his chest. He took quick inventory, not sure who’d discarded his shirt just

grateful his jeans were still on and buttoned. His little bear was fully clothed. He felt the brush of her shirt against his side, the rub of her denim-clad thigh along his own.

She’d ripped his heart out last night when he’d come looking for her. Such

sorrow and pain, and as her story had tumbled from her lips, he’d wanted to go back

in time and make it all right for her. To kill those who had taken from her. She was an

incredible woman. Young, yes, and that still gave him a bit of pause. But so fierce and

brave to have gone through all she had to still be in her early twenties. He’d known he

would have to claim her once he’d heard all Laramie had to say. Not only because

she’d marked him, but because he’d realized at some point, he’d already started

thinking of her as his. Maybe it was in response to her always referring to him as hers.

Her mate. Her Holt. It was actually sexy.

Last night, he’d held her in his arms, and with each word she’d spoken, she’d

wrapped around his heart. He’d never leave her. He needed to stop questioning

everything, stop searching for all the reasons it was wrong to accept her. Instead, he

needed to realize what a huge gift he’d been given. Out of all the men here she could

have chosen, she’d looked to him. Though bears were undeniably different than cats,

Holt knew her choice meant everything. They belonged to one another, and whether

he accepted her now or a week from now, the outcome was inevitable. They would be

together. He wouldn’t let her go anymore than she would him. Whether from a bite or

the gentle rub of a bear, mates were bonded in ways their human counterparts could

never understand unless they were chosen by a shifter.

“Good morning, darling,” he rumbled as Jaeda finally peeked up at him.

“Morning.” Her voice was whisper soft and muffled by the way she kept her

head buried in his chest.

“Feeling okay? Headache?” He’d seen what a crying jag could do to a woman

during the time his best friend Kenzie had been going through her mating.

“I’m fine.” A whisper again, this one laced with uncertainty.

He didn’t like the sound of it.

“Come here,” he rasped, tugging at her until she lifted her head to him.

He took her lips with his. He meant to be gentle, a soft kiss to start the day, but

the taste of her sent all good intentions scattering. He nipped and sucked at the bottom curve until she parted them with a gasp. He took full advantage, licking his tongue

inside and stroking wantonly against hers. He lost himself in her. The taste and smell

of her skin surrounding him. He felt burned by her, possessed and consumed, and he

only wanted more.
