“Take him down.” He issued the order and Reece let out a roar of rage as Marcus and Chance moved quickly towards him.
“Afraid to fight me, Jackson?” Reece demanded as the alpha folded his arms across his chest and raised his chin. Jackson’s top lip curled at the insult, but he held firm.
“I’m not going to kill you, Reece. You need to work this shit out…” Jackson growled back.
Reece’s bear burst from inside of him. He couldn’t even plan his own demise and get the damn alpha to fight him. What kind of a man was he? What kind of a bear…?
The sound of brakes screeching caught his attention and his head snapped around to see his mate’s car grinding to a halt beside Marcus’s truck. A moment later and she was out of her car and moving on fast feet towards his bear… He couldn’t let that happen…
Marcus flanked his right side and Chance was back in front of him, both men still human for now. He scented Shane on the breeze and his head snapped left to take the man in. Three to one, and he knew each one of them was capable of ending him. Those were odds that he liked…
“Don’t do this, Reece…” Marcus growled out. His eyes flicked from the volatile bear to the human female and back again making Reece even more aware of her presence. She was closing fast…
“Reece, stop…” Suzanna’s voice cut through the madness that swirled within his mind. His bear wanted her and the instinct to go to her was strong, too strong… He needed to focus on the task at hand… Reece roared as he reared up onto his back legs…
“Damn it, Reece, don’t do this, man.” Marcus growled out a moment before his bear tore from his body…
“Shit!” Jackson ground out as Alex came up behind him. He reached out and caught her around the waist before she could pass him and put herself into the danger zone.
“Robert’s not going to press charges, Reece. He gets it. He gets the whole mating thing…” Suzanna called out as she came up behind him.
Reece’s bear whirled around towards her… His black eyes locked onto hers and for one long moment he saw her apprehension. Then it was gone, replaced by determination and anger…
“Listen to your mate…” Shane growled out. Marcus’s bear held in place, but if Reece made one move towards his mate of the deadly kind, he’d be on him like wildfire… Suzanna’s gaze never wavered as she stared at the bear…
“What are you doing, Reece?” Suzanna took a step towards him and Reece backed up. He didn’t want to hurt her; she was the whole reason that he had to do this…
“He challenged the alpha to the death…” Shane offered that information and Reece felt another wave of anger rip through him. It wasn’t supposed to happen like this. Not with his mate there…
“Death?” Suzanna took another long step forward. “So death is preferable to mating with me?” He saw the disbelief in her eyes. Hurt followed and his heart broke… He shook his head trying to push the emotions away…
“Fuck you, Reece…” Suzanna bit out and Marcus groaned…
“That’s not… helpful…” Shane echoed what Marcus was thinking.
Chance was trying with everything that he had within him to hold onto his bear. If he shifted now he might just push Reece’s bear over the edge…
“You’re my mate, you selfish asshole…” Suzanna took another step closer to Reece and Marcus wanted to match her proximity, but he held in place. Reece’s bear twisted his head on his neck and gave a low, deep growl.
“You’re going to leave me alone rather than face up to your responsibilities.” Suzanna accused him with her words and her eyes. A soulful growl went through the bear and he took a step towards her.
“You’ve never considered what I want. You’ve never asked me…” Suzanna closed the last of the distance between them. She reached up her hand towards him and Reece yanked his head back on his neck…
“I want you, Reece.” Suzanna almost whispered those words, but Reece caught them. His bear gave another sorrowful sound that touched her heart…
“Why can’t you see that?” She shook her head in disbelief that the man could be so blind. “You’re not going to hurt me, Reece.”
He took a step back, mindful that he just might, mindful of the fact that was why he was here… Reece’s bear let go. She saw him shift back into his human skin and held in place, letting him come to her if he had a mind too.
“I can’t take that chance, Suzanna.” Reece’s voice was still full of his bear and that underlying growl sent a shiver through her body.
“That’s not your decision to make…” Suzanna protested.
“The hell it isn’t.” Reece growled out.
Suzanna’s hands went to her hips and she glared back at him. Reece would have thought it amusing that his little mouse had so much fire within her if it wasn’t for the fact that he felt like shit.
“I told you before, you can fuck me or you can kill me, but you can’t walk away from me.”
CHAPTER SEVEN
Marcus’s bear’s jaw dropped open. The sound of Alex spluttering chuckles made Reece frown hard. This anger flashed within him.
“Fuck it, Suzanna…” Reece shook his head in disbelief. Even Chance was damn well chuckling.
Reece closed the small distance between them in a heartbeat. Her eyes wanted to flick down to his naked body but she never got the chance. His hands reached for her and he yanked her body up against his. He leaned his head down and rested his forehead against hers…
“You sure you want to go there, little mouse, because there’s no going back once I have you in my bed?” Reece growled against her lips. He was giving her one last chance to walk away. He might stalk her the rest of his life, however long that would last because his damn bear would need putting down, but eventually she would be free of him if she changed her mind now. Now before it was too late…
“I want you, Reece. You’re my mate and I want to feel you deep…” She got no further. Reece silenced her with his lips, devouring her with hot kisses that made her toes curl in her boots…
“Save that talk for the damn bedroom.” Reece growled out as he slapped the palms of his hands against the fleshy globes of her backside and hauled her up his body. She wrapped her legs around his hips and he grunted with the feel of her sex against his hard length, but he didn’t say another word as he took off for his cabin; leaving his clan to stare and snigger after him.
Marcus grunted his approval. Chance frowned hard after the mates, and Shane tossed up his shoulders.
“Mates be crazy.” Shane offered and Alex chuckled hard.
“You better believe it.” She grinned.
“I don’t think I wanna mate.” Chance growled out.
“You got something against sex?” Marcus growled in his direction.
“A mate not to mate. Jesus, what’s wrong with you people and your selective hearing?” He growled as he stalked away towards his cabin.
“Eh?” Marcus cupped his ear. Chance tossed up his middle finger over his shoulder and the big bear laughed at him.
“Ah, don’t be like that, Chance. Come back. We can talk about your sexual inadequacies and everything man.” Chance stopped in his tracks and his shoulders went rigid as he tried to hold onto his bear… A heartbeat later and the bear burst from within him. Marcus let out a whoop of a chuckle and took off on fast feet.
“Again?” Alex rolled her eyes. Jackson wrapped an arm around her waist and drew her towards him.
“Yeah, but Marcus brought that one on himself.” Jackson chuckled at the sight of Marcus naked and running at full speed across the field with Chance’s bear bounding after him, growling and grunting.

Suzanna heard the sound of wood banging against wood somewhere in the background of the sound of her heart hammering in her ears. She was wrapped around one large, naked bear shifter with the feel of his hard cock pressed against her sex and his hot lips against hers with his tongue devouring her as if she was his favourite ice cream… Who cared abou
t doors at a time like that?
His hands burned through the fabric of her clothes and against her skin as he groped her backside. Damn, but she was hornier than hell. She’d take him anyway that she could get him, as long as she got him…
Her back hit something soft and he was still plastered against her body. She knew that she was lying down, but she didn’t know where, and she didn’t really give a flying fart as his hands moved from her arse to her clothes. There was the sound of ripping fabric and then she was gasping in a breath as his mouth left hers and roamed down her body…
His lips locked around one hard nipple and her back arched up to meet him as he sucked hard. She felt that pull at her clit, inside of her channel, and lightening shot to her womb. There was a burning heat within her that was growing…
His blunt teeth rubbed against the nipple and she cursed out at the exquisite feeling. Her hands were against his back, running over the smooth skin as her fingertips tingled from the contact. He pulled back his head and let that nipple grate through his teeth…
Suzanna cursed as he attacked her left breast, ferociously tasting, teasing, and then devouring that taut bud with everything that he had. Her fingers fisted his hair and she yanked hard… The deep growl that went through him played a tune within her womb and her sex clenched around thin air…
More ripping and she felt his hot fingers against her sex. She spread her legs as far apart as she could get them on the mattress as he pushed one thick finger inside of her wet heat and curled it upwards… Her body jolted when he found that internal nub of nerves. He pulled back and added a second finger, spreading her tight walls around his digits as he stroked in and out…
Reece’s thumb pressed against her clit and he heard her bite down on a moan. He grunted. He wanted to hear everything, every little sound, every whimper, every moan… He spun his thumb over the flesh and she made the sweetest sound that he’d ever heard…
He needed to taste her… He started down her body, licking and nipping at her curves, and she responded like no other woman that he’d ever known. The slightest touch, the gentlest nip of his teeth; brought a gasp to her lips and her inner muscles clenched hard around his fingers…
She was so damn wet that he could have thrust into her right there and then, but he was greedy, he wanted to taste her juices on his tongue, and he wouldn’t be swayed, even as she tried to force him back up again by tugging on his hair… He could live with a few bald patches and he guessed his bear could too…
“Reece…” She was about to try to urge him back up her body when she felt his hot breath against her sex… His tongue followed, and damn, but he knew exactly how to use it on her clit…
She cursed and Reece grunted at the sound of his little mouse with the potty mouth. It was more erotic to him than anything she could have said or done… He was losing his grip on his wild side. He wanted to take her down his cock, thrust deep and hard, and rut with her in the most feral way possible…
His fingers moved faster inside of her. He pushed in a third digit and she bit out another curse… His tongue hooked beneath the hooded flesh of her clit and he found the nerves that sent her wild. His lips closed around the flesh and he suckled her hard, flicking his tongue faster and faster until she tensed and clenched so damn hard that he thought she might break something…
Then she cried out at the intensity of the orgasm that tore through her body…
Reece pressed his thumb back against her clit and kept that orgasm rolling through her body as he thrust his tongue inside of her channel. He grunted, groaned, and growled at the last of her on his tongue. He couldn’t get enough; his thumb moved fast against her clit as he took her back up towards another orgasm… her hands fisted his hair harder as she came back to him and fought against another release so fast…
Her body tried to twist away but his hand on her hip held her in place. He fevered against her. His tongue had taken the place of his fingers inside of her and it might not have had the girth, but it stroked against the still sensitive nerves and drove her to the point of insanity…
She cursed and moaned and bit down on the need to escape his touch… and then the orgasm slammed into her like a brick wall and she cried out as every inch of her body was ravished with the white hot throbbing fever that swept through her like a wildfire…
Reece took his fill. Her juices slid down the back of his throat and fuelled his need to have her on his cock. He finally had the mind to release her. The desire to be inside of her was too strong to deny a moment longer, and climbed up over her body just as she was trying to pry her lids open…
She tried to reach for him but his hands caught her wrists and he pushed her arms up above her head with a dominate growl…
She knew this part. She’d read about it, and yet she couldn’t think straight… When he dipped his head and nudged her head to one side, he took in her scent, breathing long and hard before he grunted…
His tongue pressed against the vein in her neck and he licked upwards towards her ear. His hot breath sent a flash of excitement through her but it didn’t compare to the feel of his hard cock nudging against her throbbing channel. Need flared inside of her…
“I don’t think I can be gentle with you.” He growled against her ear and she closed her eyes and pushed her hips up from the bed… She felt his cock edge inside of her...
“Good…” Suzanna felt her hands knock together as he held them with one hand. His other hand went down to the small of her back and he lifted her backside from the bed…
Then he thrust hard and deep on a growl that sounded pained… She gasped at the size of his cock as it filled her, stretching her so tightly around his thick length that she didn’t think she could take another millimetre…
“So fucking tight…” He growled. He nipped the fleshy lobe of her ear and got another gasp for his trouble…
Reece pressed his hips against hers and rolled them. His cock played over the satin walls of her channel, stretching her further until she moaned at the pain and the pleasure. She cursed out loud…
“Fuck…” She gasped. He pulled his hips back. The slide of his cock allowed her inner muscles to clench hard around him; trying to keep him inside of her and he growled long and hard…
“Oh, I intend to fuck you good, baby…” He thrust back to the hilt and her shoulders went back against the bed as her hips came up to meet his. She matched him thrust for thrust, clamping her muscles around his cock as he dragged it back through her flesh, over and over, until his hips moved so fast that she couldn’t keep up…
He reached out and tossed her left leg and then the right over his shoulders, moving up over her, bending her legs back until her knees were pressed against her bouncing breasts. His growl grew inside of him as he pumped his hips, taking her faster, deeper, harder, over and over until every muscle in her body tensed so hard that she gritted her teeth…
When the orgasm hit, it hit hard, and she cried out at the fevered intensity of it racking her body with spasms that were unending. His hips didn’t stop banging against her flesh. The sound was a rhythm that was becoming erratic.
He wanted to bite. Make her his forever. His bear was trying to push forward, but he bit down with blunt teeth against her shoulder instead.
“Come again, let your body suck the seed from my cock…” He growled against her ear and her body complied.
Reece tossed his head back on his neck and every muscle within him strained at the hard clench and release of her inner muscles around his length, suckling him, demanding that he plant his seed in her womb. He roared at the explosion of the orgasm that tore through him. He buried his cock deep inside of her and filled her with his seed.
Reece nuzzled against her neck. Her scent called to him. Warned him not to allow his weight to crush her. He pushed up to allow her legs back down to the mattress and released her wrists as he turned them in the bed…
“Suzanna…” Her name on his lips brought her back to him. Her body was
still throbbing and there was a haze within her mind that didn’t want to be shaken away, but the feel of his body curled around hers protectively called to her… “Are you alright?”
“Better than.” Her hand moved against his chest at the sound of the deep rumble. “I thought you said you were a danger to me… that didn’t feel very dangerous…” She gave a small giggle as she pried her lids open and looked up at him. Reece was smiling, grinning like he’d won the damn lottery, and those black eyes still looked hungry.
“We’re only just getting started sweetheart. I’m not letting you out of this bed for a very long time…” Reece’s hand brushed away the damp hair from her flushed face. “I need to know what your body can handle, we’ll start slowly and…”
“Four orgasms is slowly?” She chuckled again, this time in disbelief.
“I was a little distracted keeping my bear in check.” He frowned. “Next time will be better.” He growled again, like she’d hurt his feelings.
“Better? I… have no words for that statement.”
“I’m sorry if I disappointed you…” Reece brushed his fingertips down over her cheek.
“That’s what you think?” She squeaked a little when she spoke.
“Yes.”
“Nooooo.” She shook her head. Palming his chest; she pushed up onto her elbow and caught sight of his cock, already hard and waving hello at her out of the corner of his eye. “Jesus, you’re…” She swallowed…
“Trying not to toss you onto your back and bury my cock inside you once more.” Her mouth opened but nothing came out. “I don’t want to hurt you…”
“You didn’t hurt me.” She frowned. A moment later and she was on her back with Reece above her. She could feel the hard pressed of his length against her thigh and the excitement flooded through her.
“Then you’re ready for me…?” Reece grinned down at her. He looked like a man that was eager to open his Christmas presents… She giggled like a schoolgirl…
“More than…” He moved then. His hand fisted his length and he guided it inside of her on a slow push that demanded her body open up to him. She couldn’t pull her eyes from his as he gazed down at her and she was mesmerised by the low, deep, and so very gentle growl that rolled through his chest…
