A Bear of Her Own

by Fay Walsh

  A moment later and he was moving downwards, teasing her stomach and kissing her tummy, all the way to the small tuft of hair, touching it there. Alana blushed, moaning out loud and feeling slightly self-conscious because of it. He teased there, smiling in excitement as he looked into her eyes.

  "You're enjoying this, aren’t you?” he asked.

  She moaned, feeling the rush of pleasure. Travis worked his magic, taking off her pants and chucking them to the corner, probably the same place where her shirt went. He pulled her panties further down, spreading her apart, and then, with licked lips, he started to lick and tease her folds, making her shudder with delight as he touched the sensitive flesh.

  Alana moaned, excited about everything that was happening, her whole body on fire. She hadn't ever felt this good before. It was amazing, and she could feel it within every fibre of her being. Normally, it would be a little bit of fingering and that was it, but here he was, her legs around his head, and his tongue was going to town on her, making her shudder with delight and pleasure. She moaned, the excitement growing within her body, the aching need making her want him even more.

  Everything about this was driving her crazy. She was excited about it all, her whole body aching for more from this man, and as he continued to push his tongue all the way in her pussy, she moaned, feeling him move in deep, and letting his tongue do the work that she was enjoying. She started to cry out, a series of small moans and gaps. It was then, when he touched her clit, making her scream out, that’s when the feeling of her orgasm overwhelmed her, making her grind her pussy against his face.

  Alana felt the sensation, and it was overwhelming. When she was done, she laid there and he moved back, licking his lips and smiling. She saw the hard on in his pants, the look of need in his eyes, and she knew that his need was what she also desired.

  She pushed him down, awkwardly fumbling for his cock, undoing the button and fly, but it was a struggle. With a laugh, he helped her, unsnapping his pants and looking at her. She saw his hardened member as he started to pull his pants all the way down, and she blushed crimson, seeing how big and thick it was. It was the first time she saw a cock that big, and immediately, she felt her body grow hot with need as she looked at it.

  She moved her hands down, awkwardly grasping the member and stroking it. As she did, she looked at Travis, who was moaning in pleasure at the sensation. After a while she started to jerk it a little bit faster, and his moans grew louder still. She grew curious, letting her tongue dart out and teasing the tip of it. He moaned, suddenly gasping in pleasure at the sensation. She started to tease it a bit more, watching with delight as he grew even more aroused by her actions. After a few moments, Travis groaned and pulled back to look at Alana.

  "I can’t hold myself back anymore,” he said.

  “Don’t,” she breathed, the sound of her voice telling him that she wanted it as much as he did.

  He groaned as Alana took him deeper and deeper down her throat, sucking on the tip, and then moving her lips against the head. He started to gasp, the excitement growing and the need increasing as she continued to do this. She took him about halfway down before she started to gag, but then, she replaced her lips with her hands against the base and the balls, teasing each inch of the flesh. He moaned, moving his hips up and enjoying the sensation. Alana continued to bob her head for a bit until he pushed her up slightly, pressing her into the couch.

  "Since I'm a little bigger, I'll be gentle,” he said. He moved his hands to his wallet, taking a condom out and sheathing his cock. Alana felt relieved. She liked him, but wasn’t sure if she was ready to do something like this unprotected. He spread her apart, and Alana looked at him with slight worry. But she trusted him, and as he pushed himself into her, she cried out at how suddenly he filled her body, the way that his cock started to push against her, pushing through. She wanted to cry, the tears pricking her eyes, but as she made eye contact with Travis, she realized that he was focused on making her feel good, so Alana relaxed, and that’s when he began to thrust in a bit deeper, hitting that spot and waiting a moment for her to relax. She began to shiver, her body aching for more, and soon after he began to thrust a little bit faster, moaning in tandem with her.

  She cried out as he did this, his cock hitting all of the right spots. He moaned as well, gripping her hips and holding her in place as he jackhammered straight into her. She shivered, shuddering with complete pleasure, enjoying everything about this.

  The pleasure was intoxicating, her body aching for more from this man. He pressed his lips to her own, and as Alana kissed him, she felt him move faster and faster, and enjoyed the feeling of his cock filling her. As she neared her limit, she saw Travis look at her, and then suddenly, he pressed his lips to her own, kissing her passionately as he pushed in deep. His hands skirted between her legs, rubbing her once again, making Alana cry out and immediately press against his body, moaning in complete and utter pleasure. The two of them relaxed, gazing at one another for a moment before Travis cleared his throat, blushing as he looked at her.

  "Sorry about that,” he said.

  “No, you’re fine. The moans were cute. And I liked that we came together,” she said.

  He smiled back at her, touching her hair, and Alana liked this gesture, there was something very sweet and almost relaxing about it. She started to take a deep breath, hesitating for a moment before she spoke.

  "You know, this is nice. I'm really glad you came over and told me everything. And... I don’t know, I just feel really relieved,” she said to him.

  There was a pause, and she wondered if maybe, just maybe she said something wrong. But then, she saw the smile on his face, before he responded.

  "Good. I'm glad I can make you happy. It feels... nice to do this,” he said to her.

  She nodded, looking at him smiling back.

  "Yeah. You make me pretty happy,” she replied.

  They cuddled on the couch for a while, with Alana in his arms as he spooned her. She took a deep breath, holding herself together and staring ahead, wondering if he would say anything more, or if they would get to do anything else. However, she didn't expect it just yet. The physical contact of their bodies was enough to make Alana smile.

  She knew she was falling for him, and she wasn’t sure what to make of it.

  Chapter 6

  Travis laid there, holding Alana in his arms, touching her shoulders and playing with her hair. As she let out a small chuckle, curling up to him, Travis began to realize that being in her presence was enough to make him feel good, and there was something about it that made him happy.

  He wanted to spend more time with her, to be with her no matter what the risk might be, but there was a problem with that. He feared getting her too involved would jeopardize their relationship since she was still new to all of this.

  Before they parted ways that night, she gave him one last kiss and looked directly into his eyes.

  "What’s the matter?” he asked.

  "I want to know for sure Travis that you’re not going to end up leaving me,” she said.

  Travis paused, looking at her and scoffing.

  "You worry far too much. Of course I won’t,” he said.

  She smiled, holding him there and giggling.

  "Good, because I want to be in your life, even if it’s not always easy,” she said.

  “That’s definitely appreciated, you know,” he said.

  "Good.”

  Travis headed back to where his clan was. The guys were sitting around for the most part, with Darren engrossed in his laptop, Ben playing with some ball, Billy looking at some files, and Sven reading something, whatever it might be.

  “How did it go?” Darren said.

  "She likes me. And I like her,” Travis admitted.

  "I see. You should be careful Travis. Those feelings can eat away at you, making you feel worse than you were before. It’s obvious that she is special to you, but you need to watch out for her because if you let her in
too quickly, you’re going to have issues,” he said.

  Travis nodded. "I know this, but I also don’t want to leave her in the dark.”

  "Sometimes it’s better to figure out what you want for yourself, and your own personal desires,” he told Travis with a look.

  Travis then nodded. “Right. I'll break it to her slowly. How is the research going?”

  “Slow. The information we keep finding is a lot of bunk, and we’re struggling to sift through the useless stuff to find the important information,” Darren said.

  "Yeah, lots of the reports I've found haven't helped much,” Billy said.

  “The people I talked to seemed to think that this was some freak of nature occurrence,” Benjamin said.

  "It’s not. There is some shifter group that’s causing issues. We need to stop that clan before they make this worse,” he said to them.

  They all nodded with agreement, all of them working on each of their activities. After a bit, Travis went to his own office, doing his own research on this. He couldn't let Alana in.

  If she did become close to him, it could be the end for her. It was better to go silent, which is what he was determined to do. Over the next couple of days, he began to not text her back as much, replying whenever he felt it was right. He knew that it would become harder and harder, but if Travis could protect her this way, then it would be fine.

  Travis heard about more of the murders happening. As he started to look into them, he noticed that there was a trend. The ones causing these murders went for small fry at first and then worked their way up. Right now, they were only barely hurting humans, but when he walked in on one neighbor with a concussion, he began to realize that this may not just be some harmless prank.

  "What the hell," Travis said.

  Then, it happened.

  About two weeks after he had sex with Alana, he got a call from the Police Chief in the area. There wasn’t much said, other than "You need to come here now” and Travis took that opportunity to race over there. When he got there, he noticed there was something on the ground, and the officers and forensics were right on it.

  "W-what happened?” Travis said.

  "Someone murdered her. We believe it’s the same ones that had been hurting the animals, but not totally sure,” the chief explained.

  Travis looked at the body that was there and shock ran through him. He gasped, recognizing the fact that she had blue eyes, and a familiar head of brown hair.

  It was the woman from the grocery store, the one where he first met Alana again. Immediately, Travis grew pallid, realizing what he was doing. This wasn’t going to be as easy as he thought.

  "What the hell?” he asked to himself.

  He started to look for clues, and that’s when he saw the marks on the woman’s shoulder and neck.

  They weren’t lions. They were wolves.

  Wolf shifters had a bad habit of creating trouble for bear shifters. He remembered the one he had been wrestling a couple of weeks ago when Alana first discovered him, and he sighed, realizing just how insane this was all becoming.

  "I need to do something about this,” he said.

  Travis knew the best thing to do would be to protect Alana. She couldn't get involved. He had a date with her later on that night once he was done here, and Travis knew for sure that if he did get her involved, it would only create problems later on.

  So, that’s why when Travis made his way to Alana's home, he didn’t talk as much, trying to hide the fact that he was trying to find the culprit behind the murders.

  I don’t want to worry her. It is for the best she’s kept in the dark.

  "Are you okay Travis?” she asked.

  "I am. Don’t worry about it,” he said.

  She grimaced, and Travis knew that she wouldn't just let it go at that.

  "You’re lying,” she said.

  "It’s nothing I want you to get involved with. I don’t want you to get hurt,” he explained.

  "Bull-fucking-shit. You’re hiding something from me, and I'm sick of it. You’ve been acting weird lately, Travis, and I'd appreciate it if you just told me what was going on,” he said.

  Travis looked at her and sighed.

  “There is a lot going on with the clan and the affairs of shifters. So much that it’s spilling into the daily lives of humans. I'm looking to find the culprit and do away with them because I don’t want more people getting hurt as a result of this,” he explained.

  She looked at him, her lip trembling in response.

  "So you’re not going to tell me?” she asked.

  “That’s all the info I can give right now, but when the time is right, I'll tell you everything. I'd rather not let you know for your own personal safety,” he explained.

  She nodded, taking it in for a moment.

  “Very well. Just... don’t keep secrets from me,” she said.

  He nodded. "I can do that.”

  But, Travis wasn’t the best at keeping his promises. He began to gradually distance himself from Alana. He tried his best to keep things friendly, but every time he looked at her, he feared what might happen to her, and the problems that came with this. He feared as well some of the consequences of letting her know the truth.

  It was a dire situation for him, and Travis wanted to say something, but fear kept him silent.

  * * *

  Travis kept himself calm as he looked for information. He didn’t spend as much time with Alana, using every excuse he could to avoid her.

  The guys began to notice however, that he was colder than before. Benjamin was the first to speak up about this, one day after Travis came back from a day of hunting.

  "Are you okay Travis?” he asked.

  "Yeah. Why do you ask?” he replied.

  "I don’t know, man, you just seem really out of it and distant. It’s weird,” he said to Travis.

  Travis tensed, looking at Benjamin with a look of slight disdain on his face.

  "It’s none of your concern,” he said to the younger shifter.

  "But you’re obviously growing distant from everyone, including me. I worry about you. Is it because of Alana?” he inquired.

  Travis looked at him with a glare. He didn’t want to talk to this stupid boy about things he didn’t understand.

  "It’s none of your concern,” Travis said.

  "But-”

  "Stop. Asking,” he said to the other shifter.

  He walked on, leaving Benjamin in the dust, only focusing on what he had to do. Travis had realized that if he could keep this going, he would be able to keep up a strong facade and not worry Alana.

  The rest of the clan noticed the change in demeanor, and Benjamin was the first to speak about it to Darren.

  "I don’t like the way he’s acting. I know that our leader is cold, but this is almost too much, even for him,” he said.

  "You don’t need to get involved in this,” Darren said.

  "Yeah but, you can see the change too. It’s obvious that Travis is acting different to everyone,” Benjamin insisted.

  Darren looked out at Travis, who was milking the cows. He sighed in response to what the younger shifter said.

  "You’re right. I don’t like this either, but we must do what we can do,” he said.

  “Right. I don't like his attitude, but it’s obvious that Travis has no intent to change the way he’s acting,” Benjamin replied.

  Travis went over to Alana’s home, and when he got there, he noticed the grimace on her face.

  "What’s the matter?” he asked.

  "Well, if you would tell me what’s going on, it would help the two of us work things out,” she said.

  "I can’t right now Alana,” he said.

  “Oh forget that crap, Travis. You’re clearly lying about that, and you’re obviously pretending to do this because you don’t want to take responsibility for yourself. Seriously, you’re a mess,” she said.

  “Don’t worry about me. Seriously, it’s none of your concern,” he
told her. Travis didn’t want to get her involved in his crap, and she needed to take a hint.

  “Knock it off. I'm not going to let this go until you tell me everything. Seriously, I thought I was your partner, your mate,” she retorted.

  Travis flinched at the word mate, and glared at her.

  "I never said that,” he said.

  She looked at him with an affronted look, and then, she scoffed.

  "You’re lying,” she said.

  "I'm not. I didn’t get you too involved for this reason. You’re acting like I want you to know everything when I don’t. Some stuff is just better off not being known to you,” he said.

  "Well, I'm fucking sick of being left in the dark. You’re obviously worried about something, and you’re acting like this is something I should just accept. I don’t like that. I'm not going to let you go until you tell me everything that is going on,” she said.

  He clenched his hands together, holding them there as he looked at Alana.

  "It’s too much for you. I don’t want to get you involved,” he said.

  "Bull-fucking-shit. You already got me involved the second you had sex with me and admitted you liked me. You made this damn bed, so why don’t you lay in it,” she said.

  "Because I don't want you to get so involved in this that you get hurt,” he said.

  "Well too late for that now. I'm already involved, and I'm already hurt. So, give me a better excuse,” she said.

  Travis looked at her with a look that said it all.

  "I'm doing this for your own protection. You should know by now I don’t want to leave you in the dark,” he stated.

  "Well if you really meant that, you’d do something else other than this crap,” she said to him.

  "I am! I'm trying to keep you safe! Why don’t you listen?”

  "Because I thought you really cared about me,” she said to him.

  He looked at her with a shocked glance.

  "But-”

  “Leave. Just get out of my sight Travis,” she said to him.
