Alpha Lion: BBW Lion Shifter Paranormal Romance (17 page)

“Oh,” she sighed again as it subsided. “That was—amazing.”

“Good,” Dale panted. Sam looked at him—suspended over her in the lamplight, his hair falling into his face, his eyes glowing gold, he was the most beautiful thing she’d ever seen.

“Come on,” she said, feeling overwhelmed by tenderness, wanting him to experience the same indescribable pleasure she’d just felt. “I love you,” she said. “Let go.”

He gasped in air and started thrusting, and she wrapped herself around him and moved with him—and, impossibly, felt pleasure building inside her again, faster than she’d thought was possible.

Up and up and up, so quick and intense, until Dale thrust in close and came inside her with a long groan, pressing in so hard that he rubbed right up into her clit, and Sam came for a third time.

Eventually, they separated, panting for breath. Sam stared at the ceiling—her ceiling. Her bed. And her mate next to her, coming down from making love with her.

“I love you,” she said, brushing a hand down his bicep.

He caught the hand and brought it to his lips, and kissed each of her fingers. “I love you,” he said. “I can’t wait for the rest of our lives together.”

He pulled Sam into his arms, and she closed her eyes and breathed in the scent of her mate.

Special Sneak Preview

Kristin had found a little sunlit clearing just off the trail from the B&B, full of wildflowers and with a perfect place to sit and put her back against a sun-warmed rock. She tilted her head back and admired the forest—she could almost feel the muscles unwinding in the back of her neck, where she’d been tense for what felt like months.

A couple of times, her thoughts started wandering to work. Andy had been concerned about whether he could put the next client presentation together without her help, but she’d done all the research and carefully labelled all the files in the folder on the server, and she 
knew
 he knew how to work Powerpoint, so he should be able to assemble it just fine for Monday morning’s meeting—

She yanked herself back to the present. It wasn’t her problem this weekend. Andy could manage it fine by himself. She was on vacation!

In a beautiful forest, no less, with a blanket of purple flowers stretching out before her into the trees. She breathed deeply, feeling the warm rock against her back and the cool breeze in her hair, closing her eyes to turn her face up to the sun.

Slowly, she drifted off to sleep.

When she woke up, the sun had changed angles and her butt was uncomfortably numb. She shifted in place, wincing through the pins and needles, and opened her eyes.

There was a bear in the clearing.

Kristin froze, staring at it. Yep, that was a bear. A big, black bear, staring right at her, half-up on its hind legs.

Holy shit, a 
bear
! Kristin scrambled up to her feet, grabbed a tree for balance and took off running. Oh God, what if she was eaten on her vacation? What had she been thinking, going walking in the woods alone? Why hadn’t she asked if there was dangerous wildlife around? She would never complain about work again if she could just escape without being mauled by a freaking 
bear
.

She tried to quiet her breathing to see if she could hear it coming after her, but there were no crashing sounds behind her. All she could hear was her own panting and the snapping of twigs and underbrush as she pelted through the woods.

She risked a look back. No sign of a bear. She was getting tired—why hadn’t she listened to her mom and started an exercise program? She glanced back again, and didn’t see anything.

Finally, she risked slowing down a bit and looking again, longer this time. Really no bear, and she came to a halt, and turned in a circle. No bear at all. She could see a few buildings in the distance; she’d run off the trail, but still basically towards town. Even if the bear reappeared, maybe there’d be time to get help.

She waited for a minute, her heart pounding in her ears. Was it stalking her? She abruptly remembered hearing that you weren’t supposed to run from bears, because they’d instinctively chase you. If you backed away slowly, they might lose interest.

Another minute. Still no bear.

Eventually, Kristin concluded that she was the luckiest woman on the planet, because she’d run into a bear that was really lazy or very easily distracted. It wasn’t coming after her.

She caught her breath, wiped the sweat out of her eyes, and started back to the town on shaky legs.

Michael, you are a goddamn idiot
, Michael thought to himself. He’d come across the woman sleeping in the clearing, surrounded by a carpet of flowers, her hair lit up like fiery red-gold in a shaft of sunlight, and he’d been transfixed. It had been such a fairy-tale moment, he’d felt like he was in a movie.

So of course he’d come into the clearing to see her better and then just
sat there
. He’d been thinking vaguely that she looked vulnerable, all alone and asleep in the woods, and he should stay here and watch out for her until she woke up. In bear form he was more intimidating than anything or anyone else that lived around here.

He hadn’t been thinking about what would happen when she woke up and saw
him
. That she’d be terrified because she’d been sleeping right next to a four-hundred-pound black bear, with claws and teeth, something any woman would run screaming away from.

At least she hadn’t been screaming. Too smart to waste the oxygen, Michael thought, and then shook his head. He wasn’t going to make himself any creepier by finding her attractive
as she ran away from him
.

He held onto the picture of her sleeping in the clearing as he started back home, though. Gorgeous long auburn hair, curves he could easily imagine pressed up against him, her face beautiful even relaxed in sleep. He wondered what she looked like when she smiled.
