Sneak Preview: Bearly Together
Shelley had never spent much time thinking about weddings and true love and making babies like other girls. Wedding dresses, because she’d always loved fashion, but the whole idea of waiting around for the perfect guy only made her roll her eyes.
She hadn’t even believed in mates until her father introduced her to his, and later casually mentioned that Shaun had married his as well. It was too ridiculous to bear.
But here they were, and her lioness was growling with avid recognition, leaving no doubt in Shelley’s mind that this was her destiny, this was her mate.
If she had ever bothered to imagine meeting her mate, it would not have been like this.
She was sweaty and disheveled from having to walk to the diner, and she’d gotten unexpectedly caught in the arc of a sprinkler on her way back, so her jacket had water spots and her hair was limp.
And the most gorgeous man she’d ever laid eyes on had just looked straight into her soul and was explaining to her that she was the biggest idiot in the entire sad state.
“The... license plate?” she repeated. “The noise from my car was just a loose license plate?”
“That’s all it was, ma’am,” he said, gazing back at her in a way that would have been creepy if it had been anyone else... or if she had not been staring back at him with equal avarice. “The bolts were loose and that’s the rattle you were hearing when you went over bumps. I... tightened them for you.”
“Not ma’am,” Shelley squeaked. She didn’t want to be ‘ma’am’ to this man. “Shelley.” It sounded like a kid’s name to her ears. “Michelle.” Ugh, no, too formal. “Shelley. Shelley Powell.” She realized that he probably already knew her name, since she’d left it with her car key.
She was not doing much to redeem her image of intelligence.
“I’m Dean,” he answered, and he offered her a hand. “Dean James, not to be mistaken for James Dean.”
Shelley laughed breathlessly. Dean could certainly have been a movie star, with his broad shoulders and strong jaw. She very slowly took his hand to shake and was instantly lost.
If his gaze had left her knees feeling boneless, his handshake did things to parts not much higher, and her chest was suddenly too small for her lungs. She was dizzy, and excited, and... she was ready for this. This was coming home. Her lion was rumbling in delight.
“So, you’re...” she started, just as he blushed beautifully and said, “I guess...”
“You first,” she said swiftly, and by virtue of her speed, he was forced to continue.
“Are you... a... ah... lion shifter like your nephew and your father?” he said with understandable hesitation. Being wrong about an assumption like that in a world where shifters were secret would have been a stunning mistake to bring up aloud.
But this wasn’t a mistake. He was clearly feeling the same thing, the same crazy, perfect, stomach-dropping realization she was tumbling through. He was drinking in her gaze just as she was his, and they hadn’t let go of each other after the handshake. Their clasped hands hung just above the countertop. If the counter had not been between them, Shelley was not sure what they would be doing now, but
she would bet that it would start with a kiss from those amazing lips, and once the thought occurred to her, she couldn’t shake it.
“I am,” she finally remembered to confirm, because it seemed impossible that there was anything he didn’t know about her. “And... you?”
“Bear,” Dean said faintly, like he was imagining the same kiss. “I’m... a bear. Grizzly.”
It was the stupidest conversation, dragged out a stupid amount of time, because Shelley couldn’t keep a thought in her head that wasn’t kissing this man. “I’m a lawyer,” she said impulsively, then thought it sounded like she was bragging and blushed. “I mean... I just don’t want you to think I’m an idiot. Because of the... license plate.”
“Happens all the time,” Dean lied kindly.
“You’re just being nice,” Shelley told him suspiciously.
“Yeah,” Dean agreed with a smile.
“Do I owe you anything?”
“No, no charge for tightening your... license plate.”
They were still clasping hands over the greasy counter.
“I’m never going to live this down, am I?” Shelley guessed sheepishly.
“It’ll be one of those inside jokes that we have.”
“You mean, it will actually be funny someday, instead of just horribly humiliating?”
“I promise,” Dean breathed.
There was a moment of silence, then they both tried to say, “So, you’re...”
This time Dean was fastest. “You first.”
“You’re my mate,” Shelley said boldly. It was thrilling to her own ears. This beautiful man, with his strong hands and his piercing eyes: he was hers.
His grin was like a bolt of lightning. “That’s what I was going to say,” he said.
“It’s... it’s nice to meet you,” Shelley said. Nice was so insufficient! “I... would you like to get dinner or something?” Dinner was the last thing she wanted to do with this man; she wanted to wrap herself around him and see if he tasted the way she was imagining.
She let go of his hand, but only because he was coming around the counter, and she would finally be able to...
“Daddy! Daddy!”
Shelley stumbled backwards instead of taking the step forward that she had intended.
A curly-haired boy about the same age as Trevor bolted into the room like a whirlwind, smelling like leaves and mud puddles. He just missed crashing into Shelley’s legs, careening around her and wrapping himself around Dean possessively as the man bent and intercepted his hug.
Shelley stared in horror.
“You... have a kid?” she said hesitantly.
“This is my son, Aaron.”
Everything about the mood had changed. Dean was bristling protectively, his arms around the little boy, his gaze challenging.
Shelley felt like someone had just hit her in the face, and she probably looked like it, too.
Her mate... had a kid.
Every brief, delirious fantasy she’d had about a life with Dean suddenly had a four-foot-high nope in the middle of it.
