Bear in Mind (Paranormal Dating Agency Book 23)
Page 14
The tiny woman shook in his arms, her tears soaking his bare chest. He was too overcome to speak. Anything he said would’ve come out in a howl from his bear.
His family was almost complete. He had his mother back, and soon, he would have his brother. Returning his mom to his dad, Quinn turned to the truck and ran to it. Throwing open the door, he gathered Summer into his arms.
“Oh, baby. I am never letting you go. I have to take you home. I need to make you my mate, officially. Seeing that almost killed me. That can’t be us.” His entire body was shaking with the shock of seeing his mother and the fear of losing his mate.
“Okay, Quinn. It’s okay. I’m right here,” Summer said. Quinn held her in a tight bear hug and Summer dropped kisses all along his throat.
The ride back home was awkward. Anthony and Bess were huddled together closely in the Jeep’s back seat, filling each other in on their lives. Quinn kept his hand solidly on Summer’s thigh.
He was longing to ask his mother questions about her life, about his brother, but he knew he had to give his parents the space to rediscover each other. It’s what he would want if he was separated from Summer.
“I’ll see you in the morning,” Quinn said when he dropped them off at the house.
He had his mate. He had his mother. He’d meet his brother soon. The years of loneliness were over. It was time for happiness.
Epilogue
Quinn was quiet as he drove to the bed and breakfast. He needed to get a handle on his emotions. He had never felt quite so much in so little time.
“Hey, Quinn,” Summer said, breaking through his thoughts, “are you okay?”
“Yes, of course. It just feels surreal. But I’m still reeling. I can’t imagine what they must be going through. The time that they lost. I don’t want to lose another second with you.” He took her hand to his lips and kissed her knuckles.
“So we won’t,” Summer promised.
“You got that right.”
Quinn parked the truck and ran around to open Summer’s door for her. He gathered her up in his arms, and his legs ate up the stairs, taking them three at a time.
“You’re in a rush.” Summer giggled against his neck as he carried her into their bedroom.
“Baby, you have no idea.”
Quinn fumbled with the door and kicked it shut as soon as they walked through the threshold. He dropped Summer onto her legs and cupped her face.
He kissed her forehead and dragged his lips down all the way to hers. His kiss was desperate and demanding. He swirled his tongue around her mouth, wanting to consume every single one of her breathy moans.
As he devoured her mouth, Quinn unbuttoned her jeans and his own. Soon, shirts, underwear and socks were thrown in every direction.
He sat Summer on the edge of the bed and spread her legs wide. Quinn dropped a kiss on her knee and all the way down until he reached the apex of her sex. He kissed her mound and lapped at her core.
“Oh my god, Quinn…” Summer moaned, lifting her hips to be closer to his adoring mouth.
He laughed his pleasure, relishing his mate’s response to his ministrations. He didn’t stop, only continued licked up and down her slit, lavishing her swollen clit with attention. Summer panted, moaning his name. It was music to his ears.
“Come on my tongue,” Quinn said, entering one finger, then a second into her core. He continued suckling her clit, pumping in and out of her.
Summer’s pussy squeezed his fingers as she came. “Quinn!” she screamed out, her legs trembling. “Oh, fuck, that was amazing,” she managed to say through gasps of air.
“I’m not done, love,” he promised, kissing up her body. He dropped a kiss onto her breast before taking the hardened nipple into his mouth.
His cock was painfully erect, rubbing against the smooth velvet of her wet pussy.
“I need to be inside you, Summer. I have to make you mine. Only mine.”
“I’m already yours,” she murmured, her hands dipping between them. She closed it around his cock and pumped him.
Quinn closed his eyes, “Take me,” he commanded. “All of me.”
Summer obliged, guiding him into her. He thrust in, filling her completely with his hard length.
“You feel so tight, so perfect,” he said, drawing in and out of her.
His pace was slow, every movement sending a thrill of pleasure up his spine. Summer clamped down on him, and he nearly lost control, but he refused to go there without her.
“Love, tell me I’m yours forever,” he rasped.
Her eyes were hazy with lust, filled with love. “I am, Quinn. I’m your mate.”
“I love you, Summer, my beautiful mate.” Quinn nuzzled her neck and drew in her scent. “My mate,” he growled.
He increased his rhythm, making Summer breathless. Her mews of pleasure egged him on. His bear was there, in his mind, and Quinn knew. It was time to make Summer his mate. Officially. Sealing them together, forever.
He gripped her hip, digging his claws into her flesh and leaving his claw mark on her skin, forever. The marking pushed them both over the edge. Summer cried out his name, making him feel invincible.
“Mate,” he sighed happily, closing his arms around her as he laid them down.
Quinn dropped a kiss on top of her head and Summer huddled closer. “So now it’s official, huh?” she said with a giggle. “I’m your mate.”
“Yes,” Quinn said, “and I’m going to do everything I can to make sure you’re happy, safe. You’ll never want for anything.” It was a promise. One he intended to keep. “Nothing will ever come between us. I won’t let that happen.”
“I know, baby.” Summer drew circles on his skin with the pad of her fingers.
“I feel complete,” Quinn whispered, “with you in my arms.”
“You know what would make this even better?” she asked with a grin. “Round two.”
Summer straddled him and he placed his hands on her waist.
“You’re definitely my mate,” he laughed. “Forever,” he promised.
The end…for now.
