Logan got up to his knees and stroked his hard cock as Bella swayed her hips before him. He slipped his fingers into the waistband of her black panties and slid them down her creamy thighs as she yanked off her shirt and bra.
“Fuck,” he moaned as he leaned forward, kissing and caressing her tits until she pushed him away. Her legs were practically shaking and she was well past foreplay. She wanted it as bad as he did.
He stepped off the bed for the half second it took to pull off all of his clothes. Bella’s hungry eyes dropped down to his hard cock and a little whimper escaped from her throat.
Logan gripped his thick shaft and climbed back onto the bed. She never took her eyes off his cock, even as she spread her legs for him and he climbed back over her with his heart pounding. He glided inside of her pussy and grunted at her tightness. His breaths were short and tight as he drove his strong hips into her over and over again.
“Your dick is so big,” she moaned in what sounded like a complaint, but the look on her face betrayed her tone. The look was anything but a complaint.
“I’ve been thinking about fucking you since the first time I saw you in the forest,” he growled into her ear. And it was the truth. He couldn’t get her big ass and curvy body out of his mind.
“You didn’t disappoint, Bella,” he said as he fucked her. “Your pussy is perfect. Your tits are beautiful.”
She slid her hands up his flexed arms and whimpered as he thrust into her. “Keep whimpering like that,” he said between heavy breaths. “It’s driving me crazy. You’re driving me crazy.”
She rolled her head from side to side on the pillow as she panted. Logan licked his lips and kissed her. All night with this beauty wouldn’t have been enough, but he would never last all night. Not with a girl this smoking hot.
“I’m going to fuck you harder now,” he said in a deep raspy voice. “I’m going to fuck you until your tits are bouncing up and down. Are you ready for it?”
“Yes,” she said in a moan. “Fuck me harder. Do whatever you want. I want to feel your cock come in me.”
Her dirty words drove him further and spurred him on. He grabbed her waist with a firm grip and thrusted into her until her tits were jumping around and their thighs were smacking together.
“This pussy is mine tonight,” he growled as she threw a leg over his shoulder. He grabbed her calf and squeezed it. “And I want my pussy to come. Got that?”
“Not a problem,” she said with a half chuckle, half moan. “I’m going to come on that big dick.”
She bit her lip and closed her eyes as he really let her have it. He fucked her harder than he’d ever fucked anyone before. It was coming to an end, though. He felt an orgasm surging forward like an unstoppable force. He wouldn’t be able to stop it even if he wanted to.
“Come in me,” she cried out. “I want to feel it.”
His arms, chest, and jaw tightened, every muscle in his body turning rigid as he thrust deep inside her and came.
Bella screamed out his name as she dug her nails into his triceps so hard that it drew blood. “Fuck!” she screamed as her trembling body bucked and convulsed under him. Her face twisted in agony as her orgasm ripped through her.
They held each other tight as their orgasms overtook them and their bodies filled with warmth.
Sex had never felt like that for Logan before. Yes, it had been years since the last time he had done it but this time was different. It felt like their souls were connecting on some level.
She could be the one.
Logan swallowed hard, getting choked up at the sudden emotion surging forward. He never thought that he would see another woman again, let alone make love to one. It was all so unexpected. Beautiful but unexpected.
Bella closed her eyes with a smile on her gorgeous lips as she curled up into his side.
He held her close, breathing in her scent as she fell asleep against his warm skin. So many thoughts and questions were running through his mind as he stared up at the ceiling. Questions that were long considered closed were now reopening to him. Especially one in particular:
Can a beast get a happily ever after?

Two weeks later…
“I can’t believe I’m actually finished,” Bella said, staring at her dog-eared notebook in disbelief. She had spent the past two weeks, with Logan’s help, observing the sleepy owls in their native habitat. He even helped her write the paper and now she was done. And it was good. Maybe not an A+ but it would probably get at least an A- and she could live with that.
“You’re like the Jane Goodall of owls,” Logan said with a laugh.
She smiled. “Maybe I’ll be famous too,” she said with a grin.
“Maybe,” he said, sliding his hand over hers and giving her fingers a gentle squeeze.
Bella sighed. “I just want to pass. Fame can come later.”
Logan gave her a sad smile. “I’ll start your fan club right after you leave.”
The silence hung between them like a fog. They finally had to have the talk. The talk that they had been avoiding for the past two weeks.
The two of them kept busy, spending the days and nights observing the owls, writing the paper, falling in love, and having earth-shattering sex in every possible position and in every possible location. But they always danced around the topic of their future together. It was on both of their minds but neither of them were brave enough to bring it up.
Until now.
“I think you should come with me,” Bella said, her stomach rolling with butterflies.
They were sitting on the porch at Logan’s house, relaxing after dinner. The sun was just beginning to dip down in the sky giving the forest a warm inviting glow. Bella’s stomach was full from a delicious meal of venison steaks and grilled veggies fresh from Logan’s garden. If it wasn’t for the sinking feeling in her stomach, it would have been perfect.
“I was afraid you were going to say that,” Logan said with a grimace.
“I think you’re ready,” she said, taking his hand in hers. “Your bear is such a sweetheart now. You can’t let one incident that happened three years ago ruin your future.”
“It wasn’t just a little incident,” he said with his muscles tensing up. “My bear killed a lot of people, Bella. And he enjoyed every minute of it.”
She sighed as she looked up at him. “You know as well as I do that those people had it coming,” she said, feeling the familiar anger rushing through her that she got whenever she thought of the story. She was glad that the people who were cruel enough to do that were all dead. She just wished that Logan could find the courage and the strength to move on.
“You’re going to be fine,” she said, nodding. “I’ll be with you the entire time.”
“And what if you’re wrong?” he asked. “What if my bear loses it again and you’re caught in the middle of it? I’m not willing to risk that.”
“I’m his mate, right?” she said, smiling like she always did when she said that word. She still couldn’t believe that she was Logan’s mate. The feeling was incredible. She could feel the attachment to him getting stronger every day. They were meant to be together. Bella could feel it in her bones. “If I’m his mate would Cliff do anything to hurt me?”
“No,” he said, shaking his head fiercely. “He would rather die than hurt you, and so would I.”
“See?” she said, raising her shoulders. “I’ll be with you guys the entire way. If Cliff starts to get upset, I’ll just stand in front of him and sing softly to him, pet his face, scratch behind his ears like he loves.” She stared into Logan’s worried eyes and pressed her forehead to his. “Logan. It will be fine.”
“It’s not just that,” he said, reaching up and gently touching the long scars that ran down the side of his face. “I look different.”
“You look sexy,” she said, kissing his scarred cheek.
“Bella,” he said, dropping his chin as he watched her. “Even you were terrified of me at fi
rst.”
“Because I thought you were a serial killer who kidnapped me,” she said. “Not because of the way you looked.”
“I’d be working with children,” he said, exhaling softly. “They’re already hurt and sick. I don’t want them to be terrified of their doctor as well.”
“Do you want them to be alive?” Bella asked. “You’re the only one who can save them. You have to do this. You have a responsibility to do this.”
He sighed as he looked down at his fidgeting hands.
Logan knew that she was right. He had a responsibility to greatness. He had been the best pediatric surgeon in the country, maybe even the world before the military got their hands on him. There were a lot of children and parents out there who desperately needed his help. He had a responsibility to help them because he could. It would be wrong to let his past and his injuries keep him from the incredible gifts that he was given.
“Let’s start slow,” Bella said, placing a hand on his hard shoulder. “There’s a general store close to where my car is parked. You can try and walk in there first and see how it goes.”
Bella remembered the rude rednecks inside who kept staring at her ass. It wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world if Cliff ate them.
She was pretty certain that Cliff was back to his old self. She hadn’t seen an ounce of aggression in him the whole time she had been here. He was like a big cuddly teddy bear around her.
“He has been very calm lately,” Logan said, rubbing his chin. “Ever since he met you.”
“It’s going to be fine, Logan. You can’t stay out here forever.” Bella was his mate and he was her man, and she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him, in the comforts of society. Not out here.
“Please, Logan,” she said, kissing his cheek. “Try it for me.”
He finally raised his eyes after thinking about it for a minute. “Where is this general store?”
“You’re alive?” the old man behind the counter said, lifting up his trucker hat and scratching his thin hair. “I thought the wolves would have eaten you by now.”
Bella frowned at him. She was back in Dark Creek Swamp at the general store with all of the slimy worms, moldy cookies, and not to mention, the old pervy men.
“And I thought you would have been closed by the FDA for uncleanliness issues,” she said, cringing as a mouse ran across the floor.
The two old men were still hanging out in the back of the shop, still staring at her ass.
“The monster didn’t swallow you up?” one of them asked. He was wearing a Mariah Carey t-shirt and a Coors Light trucker hat with his ugly mullet hanging out of the back.
“What monster?” Logan asked, walking in through the door. He was so large that he had to duck under the low frame.
Bella smiled from ear to ear as she watched the three men’s eyes widen to the point of pain. Let’s see what happens when they stare at my ass now.
The man at the cash register gulped as he looked Logan up and down. “I heard stories about you,” he whispered as he stared at him in shock.
Logan grinned, looking like he was going to have some fun with them. “They’re all true.”
“Nah,” the Mariah Carey fan said from the back. “You’re not him. The real beast is nine feet tall.”
“And he has sharp claws and jagged teeth,” his friend added.
“And he eats city girls for dinner,” the other one said. “This is not him. She would never have survived out there with the real beast.”
“Maybe he is out there,” Logan said with a grin. “Or maybe I’m a beast in human’s clothing.”
“No, you’re not,” Bella said, hooking her arm around him and pulling him toward the door. “You’re the sweetest guy I’ve ever met.”
“You didn’t buy anything,” the man said with a frown. “Do you need any worms?”
“Yes,” Bella smiled, pulling Logan to a stop. “We’ll take them all.”
They were on their way back to civilization and Bella was planning on releasing them back into the forest on her way out.
She was taking one of the forest’s creatures with her forever so she thought she could offer Mother Nature a trade. A bunch of worms for Logan and his bear. It seemed like a fair trade.
“Why did you buy those?” he asked as they walked back to her car. Her trunk and back seat were packed with their stuff.
“I don’t know,” she said, lifting up the bag and looking at the worms slithering through the damp soil. “I wanted to return them to their real homes.”
Logan wrapped a muscular arm around her shoulder and kissed the top of her head. “Thank you,” he said, squeezing her tight. “Thank you for bringing me home too.”
“Thank you for coming with me,” she said. “It wouldn’t feel like home without you.”
Bella climbed into the car and slapped the bag of worms onto Logan’s lap when he was seated beside her. “How did it go in there?” she asked. “How did Cliff react to those guys?”
That was the real worry. Would Logan’s bear get that bloodthirsty reaction again when he was around people, wanting to kill everything in sight? Or would he return to the kind gentle bear that he was before the military got to him?
“He was more interested in the dusty boxes of cookies,” Logan said with a look of relief on his face. “The men didn’t bother him at all.”
Bella squealed in delight and reached over the console to hug him with the stick shift digging into her ribs. “I’m so happy,” she said, her cheeks burning from smiling so wide. “Ready to go home?”
Logan swallowed her hand in his huge palm. “Home is wherever I’m with you,” he said with a sexy smile.
He finally looked ready. Ready to leave the lonely forest. Ready to move on.
“Let’s go get my life back,” he said, holding her hand.
Bella smiled and drove them both back to civilization.
Epilogue
A year later…
“Thank you, Doctor Wright,” the young father said, squeezing Logan in a tight bear hug. “Thank you so much.”
Logan took a deep breath as he hugged the relieved father back. He had just come out of surgery with the man’s three-year-old child and gave him the good news: his child would walk again.
The cute little girl was in for three rough months of rehab but that didn’t matter. She would get her legs back and that was the most important thing.
“You’re a Godsend,” the mother said, clasping her hands together as tears rolled down her cheeks. “A real blessing.”
Logan swallowed hard and nodded. He was never good in these situations and he seemed to be in them a lot.
After returning from the woods with Bella, he got his old job back at St. Mary’s Hospital, picking up right where he had left off. Before long, he had a long list of patients waiting for his expertise. The sick children traveled with their parents from all over the country and from others as well to be treated by him. He had operated on a little boy from Australia the week before and he had a girl from Sweden scheduled for surgery tomorrow.
Logan didn’t care where they were from. If he could help them, he would.
“It was nice to meet you folks,” Logan said, giving the thrilled parents one last smile before leaving. “Take care of Ashley.”
“We will,” the father said, hugging his wife. “Thanks again, Doctor.”
Logan sighed as he went to the employee locker room to shower up and get ready. He had a hot date with a curvy grad student.
He rushed down the stairs, taking three at a time, to the front of the hospital where she was waiting, looking spectacular as usual. Bella was leaning on the brick wall with a sexy smirk on her face as she watched him approach.
“Paging, Doctor Dreamy,” she said, biting her bottom lip.
He smiled. “Ready to have some fun?” he asked.
“I am,” she said, stepping on her toes to give him a kiss on the lips. “Are we going to play doctor?”
He
grinned. “Are you ready for your examination?”
“Maybe after a bottle of wine,” she said with her cheeks blushing. “Where do you want to go?”
Logan took her hand in his as they walked away from the hospital.
“I picked the restaurant last time,” she said, skipping along beside him. “It’s your turn.”
“Au Noir,” he said, grinning as a wide smile broke out across her face. It was her favorite restaurant.
“It’s on me,” Bella said with her chin in the air. “We’re celebrating.”
Logan glanced over at her. “Celebrating what?” There was so much to celebrate for. Every day with Bella was cause for a celebration.
“I got my dissertation paper back,” she said with a smile. It had to be good by the look on her face.
“And?”
“A plus!” she said, jumping up and down as she squealed in delight. “I don’t have to go owl hunting after all!”
Logan stopped and spun her around, catching her in his arms as she fell. “That’s my girl. Brains and beauty all rolled into one.”
“It helps that I had a sexy tutor to help me write it and a furry assistant to help me finally find the sneaky little owls.”
“No,” Logan said, shaking his head. “It was all you.”
She leaned up and kissed him softly on the lips. “I wouldn’t be here without you.”
Logan knew exactly what she meant because he wouldn’t be where he was without her either. He would still be living in the log cabin in the woods, spending the days in his bear form and the nights all alone.
Bella had done so much for him and he would always be grateful to his mate. She had helped him see that he did have the courage and strength to return to his old life.
His colleagues were initially shocked to see him and his new scars but like anything, they got used to it and it hardly came up anymore. He would still get looks and stares from strangers on the street but as long as the scars didn’t bother Bella, they didn’t bother him either.
