"You're the one fully dressed," I remind Briella as I stare down into her eyes. At the thought of seeing my gorgeous mate naked, my bear awakens and fights to take control. "Take off your clothes," I manage to growl as I wrestle my bear back into place.

My mate steps back and slowly pulls her light blue t-shirt over her head before sliding her black yoga pants down her curvy legs. My cock turns to stone and bounces against my stomach as I watch her kick away her sandals and pants.

She gives a little squeak when I lift her against my chest, and I place a soft kiss on her soft cheek before walking over to lay her on the silky black comforter.

Hunger flashes through her light blue eyes as she leans back on her elbows and stares at my shaft. I take a step back and wrap my hand around my erection.

As I slowly slide my hand up and down, her gorgeous eyes follow my every movement. She raises her eyes to meet mine and asks, "May I?"

"Touch me," I groan and lock my knees as her soft hand tentatively wraps around my cock. My inner bear nearly loses his mind, but I keep a tight leash on my control while my mate drives me out of my mind.

When she runs her thumb across the head and gives my cock a little squeeze, I nearly come from her touch alone.

That was too fucking close,my bear growls in my ear as I step back out of her reach.

"Hey," she grumbles in complaint.

"I'll let you play after I've fucked your sweet pussy five or six times."

She blinks up at me. "Five or six times? Tonight?"

"At least." I've been waiting an eternity to find my soulmate, and it's going to take a long time to quell the hunger coursing through me.

At least,she mouths before adding, "I'm going to need to take some vitamins or something to keep up with you."

"Don't worry, Beauty. I'll take it easy on you the first time or two," I promise, knowing I'd never do anything to hurt my mate.

"Uh…" She bites her bottom lip. "There's something you should know."

"Please, don't tell me you want to stop." I'm not above begging at this point.

"No." She shakes her head vigorously. "But I've never done this before."

"I know. The eternal mates the universe chooses for shifters are always untouched."

"Oh." She stretches like a little kitten, and I almost come on the spot watching her. "That's good to know."

I prowl over to the bed, staring at my mate's gorgeous, curvy body. All the blood in my body rushes straight for my cock as I crawl over her luscious curves, leaving little kisses along her the way. My slow progress pisses my inner bear off, but I ignore the fucker's complaints and continue my exploration.

When I reach her chest, I close my lips around one berry-red nipple and suck it into my mouth. My tongue explores the little morsel while my mate digs her nails into the back of my head.

She sighs my name when I kiss my way over to the other side and gently nibble on the other nipple. Her sweet taste flows through me and I nearly lose control.

Every inch of her gorgeous body calls to my inner beast, and I can't make up my mind what I want to suck and kiss next. My bear tries to insert his two cents, but I ignore the fucker and concentrate on my mate. I finally decide to start at the bottom and work my way up. I drop to my knees on the side of the bed and pull her gorgeous ass to the edge.

After spreading her silky thighs, I lean over to slide my tongue deep into her wet opening, relishing her sweet taste. She cries out my name and digs her nails into the back of my head, dragging me closer.

"I fucking need you." I gently nibble on her clit while sliding my finger deep into her silky pussy, stretching her inner walls with each stroke. "It's going to be a tight fit," I growl against her soft skin before sucking her clit into my mouth.

My mate fucking owns me, heart and soul, and I'll do whatever it takes to keep her safe and happy. When her inner walls tremor around my finger, I lean back and watch the unexpected orgasm flow through my mate.

"Oh my," she breathes while tremors course through her gorgeous body. I lift my little Beauty's limp body and lay her on the bed before sucking one hard little nipple into my mouth. I roll my tongue around it then gently give it a little bite.

After I give equal attention to the other side, I devour her sweet lips. "I love you." Bears don't usually express their feelings to their bear mates, but humans need the words. Plus, my Beauty has turned on an emotion switch inside of me that can't be turned off. She doesn't return my words, but I'll worry about that later—after she's mine for all eternity.

Briella reaches between our bodies and wraps her soft hand around my cock, nearly bringing me to my knees. My inner bear shivers from the feel of my mate pleasuring me. All too soon, I realize I'm not going to last long if she keeps stroking the fucker like that. When I pull back out of her reach, she complains, "Hey, I wasn't ready to stop."

"You can stroke my fucking cock anytime you want," I promise her. "After I fuck your sweet pussy five or six times." My inner bear's patience just ran out.

I spread her silky legs and line my dick up at her wet opening. Staring into her stunning blue eyes as I press slowly into heaven, I watch my mate for signs I'm hurting her. When she stiffens and digs her nails into my shoulders, I slow my pace, giving her time to adjust to my invasion. When her inner muscles begin to relax, allowing me to slide deeper with each thrust, I increase my pace.

I kiss her soft neck and leave little bite marks around the spot I'm about to mark. When her silky walls tighten around my cock, nearly cutting off circulation, I know it's time to make her mine forever. I close my teeth over the soft patch of skin under her right ear and bite down. Fireworks explode behind my closed eyelids as our souls are melded together for all eternity. My Beauty shivers and screams my name as I come deep inside her sweet pussy. I run my tongue over the slight injury my teeth left behind, and visions of our future cubs flash through my mind as my cock empties. With my inner bear finally appeased, I let my human side take over.

My cock instantly hardens, and I slowly withdraw and thrust back into her tight core. "I didn't realize we'd go straight to round two," she groans and digs her nails into my shoulders.

"Hold on, little Beauty. I don't plan on letting you sleep any time soon."

"Definitely going to need vitamins," she teases and lifts her leg to wrap it around my hips. The change in position allows me to slide deeper with each thrust. She squirms, trying to draw me even deeper, and I give my mate what she desires.

I devour her mouth then kiss everywhere I can reach. She comes again, and I slow my thrusts to let her ride out the orgasm. Once her silky walls release their death grip on my cock, I slip my arm under her leg and lift it higher before circling my hips. I begin to pick up speed, making sure to repeatedly hit the spot deep inside my mate's sweet pussy that causes her inner muscles to clamp down on my cock. The third time she climaxes, there's no way I can hold back anymore. While her pussy flutters around my shaft, I pump my seed deep in her pussy, hoping to plant my first cub in her womb.
