Big Bad Bear (Forbidden Shifters Book 3)

by Vanessa Devereaux

  Shit, I stopped pumping the gas and quickly got back into the car. I pulled out of the station and turned on the radio, switching the controls until I found the Bulletin Alert channel.

  A Second Tier Alert was issued this morning for werebear Liam Quinn. He’s considered dangerous so it’s advised that you call Enforcement immediately. Please do not try and approach or capture him yourself. Repeating Second Tier Alert issued for Liam Quinn whose photo can be viewed at our Web site.

  I slammed the steering wheel, accidently sounding the horn instead.

  Second Tier, that meant they could use sheer brute force to bring me in and after a prison sentence I’d be sent away from Bay Harbor for good.

  I considered turning around and heading straight back to Sanctuary but I had people to help and I also had a score to settle with Josie Moss. No doubt she’d told them about what happened at the house but probably not that she’d been the one who’d put herself in a vulnerable position.

  Okay, I’d made it almost impossible for her to resist me, but she could have still kept her composure and done things in a professional way.

  I took all the back roads home. I needed to get back into the house to get my things and then I was going to keep a low profile while I went about my job, but at the same time tracked down Josie.

  I headed down the street that housed my home and didn’t see any Enforcement vans or anything that would indicate there was a patrol guard waiting for me.

  Not, taking any chances, I parked two streets away and then walked down the back alley, climbed over the fence, ran up the yard, and entered the house through the kitchen door. Once inside, I rested by back on it and got my breathing back to a normal pace.

  I hadn’t given any thought to maybe it wasn’t Josie who’d alerted them. In fact, she might still be handcuffed in my house and her disappearance was the reason for the heightened alert. I rushed into the living room but no Josie. I did however see a note taped to the bookcase I’d cuffed her to.

  I’ll find you, don’t you worry about that.

  Not before I find you.

  Out of curiosity I wanted to see if she’d gotten out of the cuffs all by herself or called for help. I’d left the security camera on and went over to the screen and ran it back to the point right before I’d left the house.

  Yeah, they’d been the smile on her face when I’d spanked her. When I found her I was going to put her over my knee and spank her till her ass cheeks were bright pink.

  I went hard just thinking about that and I knew that was wrong. I should be pissed off with this woman and using spanking as a way to punish her, not make me almost come in my underwear.

  I watched more of the video, getting harder with each frame I witnessed. She’d managed to reach her phone and was talking to someone on it. Now I wish I’d opted to switch on the audio feature on the camera.

  She stood there, her body turning toward the camera. Those curves, those boobs, oh god, it was going to be hard hating her like I really should.

  I advanced the video and then saw an older woman stepping inside the room. I saw the resemblance to Josie and knew it was her mom.

  So you’re the human parent so that means daddy is a werebear.

  Wait, she was pulling Josie by the arm and by the looks of things they were heading upstairs.

  I pressed the button for the upstairs camera and saw the mother running the water in my bath and then Josie standing beside it.

  Sore pussy or didn’t mama like the fact that her daughter had been fucked by a werebear? How ironic.

  Josie bent over and reached for the bubble bath on the side of the tub.

  I should have looked away but instead I froze the frame, zooming in so I got a good look at her pussy. She had a little bear tattoo on both inner thighs that I hadn’t seen and guessed I’d been too busy enjoying other parts of her body to take much notice.

  I let the film play on and touched myself as she lowered herself into the water. Her hand disappeared under the surface by the look on her face she was doing some self-pleasuring of her own.

  I groaned realizing that I unzipped my pants and I had been jerking off without even knowing it. It wasn’t until I was at the pinnacle of coming that I realized this woman had me under her spell.

  Phew, it felt so good but if I stood around watching Josie in the tub and jerking off, I was going to get caught. I ran upstairs, packed some essentials and then fled the same way I’d entered the house. Once inside my car, I started the engine and headed out.

  Tracking down Josie Moss was now my number one mission.

  Chapter Seven

  It was Tuesday evening which meant only one thing, dinner at grandma’s place. My mom had an art class to make up for the one she’d missed by coming to my rescue the other night so it was just me and gran.

  This time she’d made one of my favorite meals, meatloaf and her homemade gravy, mashed potatoes and green beans with a splash of soy sauce, all done just the way I like them.

  “Your mother tells me you got yourself into quite the pickle the other night,” my grandma said, before spearing three green beans.

  “Yeah, lucky thing she was around to come help me out.”

  “She also told me that you let the werebear get the better of you.”

  Just how much had Mom told my grandmother?

  “It happens sometimes.”

  “So was it good?”

  My grandmother’s question threw me. I really hoped she was asking about the meatloaf, but she’d used part tense and I assumed she knew all about the other night.

  “Was what good?” I asked. I hoped I’d been wrong about what she was referring to.

  “The first time sex? It wasn’t that great for me. Your grandfather was a virgin too and we did lots of fumbling and it took him almost a year to figure out where my clitoris was.”

  Wow, way, way too much information. I know I’d blushed and the room suddenly felt superhot.

  “Yeah, it was good,” I finally said. I didn’t let her know it had rocked.

  “And I hope you had an orgasm.”

  “Gran, I’m totally shocked at you.”

  “What you think I’m too old to remember what it’s like to climax?” She raised both her eyebrows at me.

  “No, but I’m getting embarrassed about the whole thing.”

  “Well, you shouldn’t be because it’s a natural thing and he’s very handsome.”

  “You’ve seen him?”

  “Sure I have, his photo’s plastered just about everywhere. I even saw the local supermarket had an image of him at each checkout kiosk. Second Tier offender, did you tell some lies about what happened, young lady?”

  “I…I…’

  She wagged her finger at me. Your mother and the werebears too, what a pair you are. Falling for them but not having a happily ever after with them. It’s such a shame.”

  “But you didn’t approve of Mom and my father.”

  “I did nothing of the sort. It was your grandfather who turned him in when your mother told us he’d gotten her pregnant. Remember Gramps was a war veteran and had fought the bears and he had a hatred for them. When your mother got pregnant with you, well I think that’s what broke his heart and why he ended up dying young.”

  I put my hand on top of my grandmother’s and squeezed it.

  “Mom never talks about my father. Did she ever try and go see him before he was transported away?”

  It was my grandmother’s turn to put her hand on mine.

  “Josie, I’m going to tell you something that not even your mother knows. Not that I think it will make any difference now because he’s part of her past. When your father was being transported the van was ambushed by masked werebears and they believe he was taken to one of the Sanctuary hideouts by them. The authorities came to warn us just in case he came back looking for your mother but we never told her.”

  I had to process this because everything I’d been told about him wasn’t true. He’d found Sanctuary
and for all I knew he could still be alive.

  “Did he know she was pregnant?”

  “I don’t think so because I’m pretty sure he would have come back for her. Werebears are family orientated and watch over their young.”

  Sanctuary, my father could still be alive and in one of the hideouts. Liam was a Sanctuary Transporter. He’d been too young to be involved with the werebears who’d saved my father but he might know where I could find out more about my dad.

  I finished the last of the meatloaf and put my fork down. Yeah, like he was going to let me get close enough to him and trust me with information about Sanctuary.

  “You’ve gone quiet all of a sudden. Maybe I shouldn’t have told you but you’re all grown up now and I think you have a right to know the whole story. Whether or not you tell your mother is entirely up to you.”

  I didn’t think I would, well not until I’d found out more information about him and even if he was still alive. Werebear’s life spans were longer than humans, well that was unless they run afoul of the law.

  “How about some raspberry pie with ice cream?” Gran asked me.

  “That sounds like heaven,” I said.

  Chapter Eight

  What I was about to do could be my undoing. I told myself I was doing it because I had a score to settle with her, but in all honesty I knew it’s because I was desperate to see her again. By breaking into her home I was taking the biggest gamble of my life. I didn’t know if Enforcement installed cameras into their employee’s home or if they’d assume Josie’s home would be the last place I’d venture into.

  Twilight was setting in and I didn’t want to use a flashlight so picking the lock to her door took me twice as long as normal. As soon as I got inside, I knew she lived here because her scent was strong. It made my nose twitch and my cock grow hard. When a werebear reacts that way to scent alone, it’s usually an indication they’re found their mate. However, I found it hard to believe that my true mate would be someone who’d get me on a Second Tier wanted list.

  I ventured down the hallway and into the kitchen. I opened the fridge and looked over the contents. I pulled out a chocolate pudding and searched the drawers for a spoon and ate it. I went into the living room and looked at all the books and the photos in frames on the shelf. Josie with her mother and another older lady that I was guessing was her grandmother.

  I heard a car pulling into the driveway and sensed it was Josie. I knew exactly where I wanted to wait for her and went up the stairs searching for the bedroom.

  Wasn’t she in for a surprise?

  *****

  It had been a long day and all I wanted to do was crawl into bed and sleep. I put the leftovers Gran had given me in the fridge, and couldn’t remember eating the chocolate pudding whose container now sat on my countertop. I’d been in such a daze after what had happened that I’d probably binge eaten without even realizing it.

  I went upstairs and into the bathroom. I thought about taking a shower but decided just to take off my clothes and put them in my laundry hamper. I washed my face, brushed my teeth and headed to my bedroom where my goal was just to get under the covers and hopefully sleep until it was almost time to go to work. I opened the door, flicked on the light and jumped back when I saw a bare-chested Liam sitting in my bed with just the sheet draped over what I knew was his naked lower body. I reached for my phone, determined that he and that gorgeous body of his wouldn’t get the better of me this time. I was mid-dial when he lifted up the sheet, allowing me to see his hard cock.

  Holy cannoli, I wanted him so bad, to have him make love to me and this time in my bed.

  I tried to dial but his scent and arousal took control again. My juices ran down my inner thighs. I looked at him and he smiled. He knew exactly what he was doing.

  “You coming to join me or what?”

  I threw down the phone and ran over to the bed, jumping onto it and him. Before I knew it he had me over his lap and my butt was sticking in the air.

  “Someone’s been a naughty girl,” Liam said.

  I knew exactly what he was referring to.

  “You know what us bears do to bad girls?”

  “I’m sure you’re going to show me,” I said.

  His hand came down on my right ass cheek.

  “What have you got to say to that?” Liam asked.

  Could I have another came to mind because although it stung, it had actually turned me on.

  “A girl has to do what she has to,” I said.

  His hand hit the other cheek this time and my nipples turned hard and tender and I creamed.

  “I can smell your arousal, Josie Moss.”

  “And I can smell yours too,” I told him.

  He spanked me twice in quick succession and I guessed the skin on my ass was turning pink.

  “I really shouldn’t give you want you like, what turns you on, but maybe I can use that as your punishment.”

  I had no idea what he was talking about until his finger slipped into my pussy and he began finger fucking me.

  I wiggled my ass and pushed back on my hips to make him move it faster.

  “How’s that feeling?” he asked.

  “Pretty good.”

  “You feeling like you’re going to come soon?”

  “Oh yeah,” I said, thinking what a considerate sex partner he was.

  “Good to hear,” Liam said, pulling his finger out.

  I turned over and used the face I usually make when I’m as pissed as hell and I hoped bears knew all about human emotions too.

  “What the hell?” I asked.

  “You don’t get to say when you come young lady. That’s for me to decide.”

  Before I had a chance to reply he’d gotten hold of me and turned me over onto my back.

  He nudged my legs apart until I was spread open wide for me.

  “You gonna punish me some more?” I asked him.

  “You bet I am. You’ll be crying pretty soon.”

  I thought he might enter me and tease me but instead he knelt down and put his face between my legs. He placed his hands on my thighs and the next thing I knew his tongue was flicking around the circumference of my pussy.

  I slapped the mattress with the sides of both my hands. I heard and read about guys doing this to women and how good it was but could never have imagined it was so, so… holy cannoli his tongue was sliding inside me and he was tongue fucking me.

  “Oh god, oh my god….”

  I should have kept my mouth shout because this was my punishment and not pleasure. Me crying out had signaled that I was about to come and he stopped and simply sat looking at me.

  “Do you realize how much I hate you right now?” I asked him.

  “I can only begin to imagine.”

  He laid flat on his back beside me. The heat of his body penetrating into mine.

  “I should get my Taser and zap your dick,” I said.

  “I don’t think you’re that stupid because who knows I might decide to forgive you and fuck you until you go cross-eyed and I can’t do that with an injured cock.”

  “Are you going to do that?” I asked.

  He pulled me up onto him, his hard dick, rubbing against my crotch. We kissed, tongues going into one another’s mouths and then nipping at one another’s lips.

  “Tell me why I should?” he asked.

  “Because you want to as much as I do.”

  “True, but I’m punishing you and if I have to hold off on my own gratification so be it.”

  “And by the way did you use protection when we fucked the other day?”

  “Of course I did, I’m not that sort of werebear. I don’t break the rules.”

  “Yeah, like hell you don’t. That’s why you’re in so much trouble.”

  He slapped my butt again. “I’m in trouble because I’m sure you told them I overpowered you, poor innocent Josie Moss.”

  “I had to keep my job.”

  “And I have to stay out of jail and being
banished forever.”

  “You’re not completely innocent or I wouldn’t have been looking for you in the first place.”

  “True, but I’m not hurting anyone.”

  “No, but you’re breaking the law and I’ve sworn an oath that I’ll hunt down those who do.”

  “What’s wrong with getting my hands on a few black market permits so couples can have a good fuck. You’ve seen how good a werebear can be.”

  I had and pretty soon he’d been winning this argument. I put my finger on his lip to prevent him from talking.

  “That’s not all you do. You’re a Transporter too.”

  “I wouldn’t have to be if humans didn’t impose such stupid laws and punishments. Surely you as a hybrid can see things from our point of view as well as your human one.”

  “I hate the word hybrid,” I said.

  I had since I was at school and that’s what I’d been labeled. The kids even pinned signs on me that said my mom dropped her panties for a werebear or momma spreads her legs for bears.

  “I hate it too but that’s what Enforcement calls you.”

  I rested my head down on his chest and he rubbed my back. “How long a sentence did your mom get?” he asked.

  I looked up at him. “How did you know my mom’s the human?”

  “I saw her on the security footage at my place.”

  Oh crap so he’d filmed me in the handcuffs and mom coming to rescue me.

  “A year and then five years of probation,” I said.

  “I’m sorry. So who took care of you while she was gone?”

  “My grandmother.”

  “All the stupid human laws breaking up happy families. And I assume your father was shipped out.”

  “I thought he was but today while my grandmother and I were talking she told me he was rescued and taken to one of the Sanctuaries.”

  “See someone like me saved the man who’d fathered you.”

  “Yeah, yeah, you’re winning me over. I should tell you that topic only came up because we were talking about you, and you taking my innocence.”

  “I don’t think you’ve ever been innocent,” Liam said.

  I poked my tongue out at him which I knew was juvenile but it was the only thing I could come up with, his cuteness and his hot bod made my brain turn to mush.
