The Gorilla Shifter’s Captive (BBW Paranormal Romance)

by T. S. Ryder

  She turned over so that she was facing him. They stared at each other for a long while, then she leaned forward and kissed him. There was nothing more she wanted in that moment than to be as close to him as possible, to have him touch her in every way possible.

  He kissed her back passionately and she slid her legs between his. He put his hand on her hip and caressed her waist and thigh. She pressed her body against his, murmuring into his ear.

  “I want you,” she said.

  “Are you sure?” he asked, tracing his fingertips along her jaw and chin. “It’s been such a hard day.”

  “I have wanted you for a long time, Hayden. I had a crush on you in high school, you know.”

  “You did?” He pulled half his mouth into a smile. “I love that I knew you before. I never have to worry that you’re not into the real me.”

  “I love the real you.”

  “I know you do. And I love you for it.”

  He pressed his mouth to hers again and this time, their kissing intensified. Her body felt hot all over and every time he touched her, a wave of pleasure ran through her.

  She tugged on his shirt, pulling it awkwardly over his head. He pulled hers off and reached back to unhook her bra. When her breasts were free, he caressed them, squeezing and pinching her nipples. He leaned down to suck on her nipple. She let out a moan and ran her fingers through his hair.

  She wiggled out of her pants and waited for him to do the same, then he pulled her on top of him. She hadn’t thought much about it, and maybe he hadn’t either, but being on top felt freeing. Earlier, when she’d been tied up by Will, she had been lying there helpless while he climbed over her. He hadn’t done more than look at her and squeeze her breasts roughly, but still. He’d been on top of her. He would have done much more if Hayden hadn’t come in to save her. But, had Hayden climbed over her, it might have upset her without him meaning to.

  She smiled at how he seemed to instinctively know what she needed. She pressed her hips down, rubbing herself against his hard erection. Her panties dampened as he continued to kiss her and rub his hands all over her.

  He slipped his hand under her panties, then slid his finger inside her. She moaned and moved up and down against his hand. She could feel her wetness getting all over him.

  He slid his finger out, leaving her wanting more, and pushed her panties down. He took off his boxers and now she could rub against his bare cock. After just a few slides of her clit against him, she had to have him inside her.

  He growled into her ear, then took hold of his dick and positioned himself at her opening. He found his way in and she sat up, pushing him fully inside her. She paused a moment as they both let out a moan.

  He grabbed her hips and moved her up and down on his cock as she bounced on him, slamming in deep again and again. With each thrust, she grew closer to orgasm. She tried to put it off, to draw it out as long possible, but he felt too good.

  She let out a loud moan as she came. He growled and sped up his thrusts. His face twisted and he groaned as he orgasmed. She lay down beside him and he pulled her into his arms.

  She snuggled into him, hot and sweaty, and quickly fell into a peaceful sleep.

  Chapter Ten

  Kaelyn woke to Hayden’s arms around her. Her mouth stretched into a wide smile and she made a soft moaning sound as she pressed back into him.

  He stirred and squeezed her harder. “This is the best feeling in the world,” he said.

  “I was just thinking the same thing.”

  She turned in his arms to face him and kiss him.

  “I was thinking,” he said, rubbing his nose against hers. “Maybe you shouldn’t bother getting your own place. I love having you here, and it makes things much more convenient for, umm, our late night activities.”

  “Really? You want me to move in with you?”

  “Technically, you’re already moved in.”

  “True.”

  “But yes, I want you to live here with me. I want you to be mine.”

  She kissed his lips, then his nose, then his forehead. “And I want to be yours.”

  “I can keep you safe and away from stalkers and creepers.”

  “You’ve done a good job of that so far. When you knocked the door down, you don’t know what that did to me. I was overcome with relief. It was like the second I knew you were there, nothing could ever be wrong again.”

  He trailed his fingers along her arm. “There is something I should tell you about that. Didn’t you wonder how I knew where you were?”

  She pulled her eyebrows together. “Hmm. I guess I didn’t think about it. I was just so happy to see you. But now that you mention it, how did you know?”

  “I installed a tracking app on your phone. I did after Will showed up and I was worried he would do something. I only used it when you went missing, though. I wouldn’t invade your privacy or anything.”

  “Oh.” She thought about this for a moment. “Well, it would have been nice if you told me, but it did save my life, so I can’t be too mad.”

  “The only reason I didn’t tell you sooner was because I didn’t want you to feel watched. I knew I wouldn’t use it unless there was an emergency. We can take it off now.”

  “No. I feel better if you can see where I am, actually. It’s not like I have anything to hide, and if I know, then it’s not like you’re invading my privacy.”

  “You sure?” he asked.

  “Yes. And we’ll do the same for your phone so I don’t worry that something happened to you.”

  “Fair enough.”

  “What do you think will happen to Will?” she asked.

  “There’ll be a trial. I’m sure we’ll have to testify and all that. Kidnapping is pretty serious. They’ll probably nail him with sexual assault, too. I’d guess he’ll get a few years at least.”

  “Oh, good.” She let out a long breath. “I don’t want to have to look over my shoulder for the rest of my life.”

  “You won’t. I’ll do whatever I have to do to protect you and make sure you feel safe. If I need to hire you a bodyguard, I will.”

  “I hope that’s not necessary.”

  “Well.” He sighed. “You do know that once the media finds out about us, there will be lots of photos and that sort of thing, right?”

  “I figured. It’ll be okay. As long as we’re together, we’ll figure it out, right?”

  “Right.” He tightened his arms and kissed her. “I’m so glad you’re finally mine.”
