Shifters of Grrr 1 (4 page)

"Don't forget to pack. You're still moving in right?" Lyle was nervous when he asked. After over four decades of life, it'd be the first time he shared a residence with someone.
 

"I'll get it all packed, Lyle. I told you I would."

The conversation ended and Gunnar couldn't help but grin. After all the grief that had been surrounding them, perhaps the miscommunications and the problems were over now. He could only hope.
 

Gunnar turned and started putting most of his meager belongings in suitcases and leftover moving boxes from years ago.

He'd just stepped out of the shower when he heard the knock at his door.

"Eight o'clock already?" He was running late, a trait he wasn't accustomed to.

"Be right there!" He yelled out as he tried to pull on pants and make it to the door.

Lyle was standing in the doorway in suit and tie, dashingly handsome. He peered down at Gunnar and kissed him before he could utter a word.

"Careful old man, we won't make it to the restaurant." Gunnar chuckled.

"Better watch who you're calling old man or you won't make it to the bedroom." Lyle countered.

Gunnar took an additional ten minutes to get ready and soon they were headed toward the restaurant, making small talk in the car.

"There is one thing I would like to discuss before this evening gets started, it's the one thing I haven't told you yet." Lyle said, placing his hand over Gunnar's.

"Yes?"

"There's a reason I stopped us from going further the other day. As a shifter, penetrative sex for us can result in mating with people who we believe are our true loves. It's powerful; powerful enough to impregnate." Lyle left the sentence to hang for a few minutes, giving Gunnar time to process.

"So you see, we'd have to be truly committed to each other for us to having sex, because I believe deep down in my soul that you are my true mate Gunnar."

Gunnar at first didn't know what to think. "You're saying I could get pregnant?"

"That's what I'm saying. I'll understand if that's too much for you to hear."

A small sliver of a tear streaked down Gunnar's face. "We could be parents."

Scene Nine

Lyle's hand was down Gunnar's pants before they hit the driveway on the way back home. Gunnar's lips had found their way around Lyle's already rigid cock as they cruised down the highway, searching for the back roads to get home without being seen. Dinner had gone wonderfully, and it was looking like the dessert was going to be even better.

"You're going to have to slow down those lips or you are going to be choking back my enjoyment before long." Lyle said between ragged breaths as his hand coiled around Gunnar's own erectness. His hand squeezed and pulled him easily, nearing him to nirvana.

"Then I'd suggest you get home so that we can finish this." Gunnar replied, flicking his tongue around the head of Lyle's cock.

The fire engine red Camaro squealed into the drive and Lyle threw it into park. They both raced to the door, barely making it inside before collapsing on the floor and wiggling out of their clothes.
 

Lyle's mouth found Gunnar's hardness and sucked him eagerly while easing a lubed finger into his puckered hole. He worked it gently but methodically, making sure he was well oiled for what was to come.

"Are you sure you're up for this Gunnar, there'll be no going back afterwards."

"I'm sure. I want us to be together, completely." Gunnar replied, pulling Lyle in for a kiss as he squeezed his cock and pulled him to him.

Gunnar flipped over on the carpet and caressed himself as Lyle licked his neck. Gently, he rubbed himself over Gunnar's well toned ass cheeks. Soon he was well oiled and guided the tip into him. Gunnar inhaled and raised his hips, allowing Lyle better entry.

Lyle's cock eased inside, while he worked inch by inch to fill him completely up. Lyle had not felt such tightness wrap around him.

"Oh god yes, " he muttered, pumping harder and harder into him.

Soon their moans and grunts filled the room, as each was ready for release.
 

"Are you sure Gunnar?" Lyle said between thrusts, "I'm going to cum any second, this is your last chance."

"Fill me Lyle, fill me and make me yours."
 

Scene Ten

The next morning, there's a knock on the door.

"Mail Mr. Harris."

The mail woman handed over a few flyers and catalogues before stating, "And there was this as well that was hand delivered to the post office for you."

And there it was. White crisp envelop with the black ink scrawl. This time, however, instead of Mr. Harris, it read "Mr. Harris and Mr. Gray"

Stepping it up, eh?
Lyle thought as he ripped the seal open.

I'll take this all to the tabloids. This isn't over. The next message will have a new meeting and a new amount. Mamma needs shoes and you two daddies are rich enough to pay.

"It's never going to end, is it?" Gunnar wept.

"I don't blame you, never did. Stop worrying, this is almost over." Lyle said a secret prayer while he said this to ease Gunnar's mind. "But we should see how close it is to being done."

He tapped in the number of the private investigator.

"Tell me you have something, anything. The prick just sent us another demand."

"Got a motherlode, boss. Apparently Tucker is a bit of a pedo. Caught in '04, he got out for good behavior and is still cruising the schools and playgrounds. Hasn't reported his new address to the parole office or registered in that county, either. Filling out the paperwork, sending the pictures, and making a nice neat case for the sheriff and then popping it all in the mail. And then sending you the bill, Lyle."

The worry seemed to melt off Lyle's chiseled features as he clung to Gunnar.

"Appreciate it more than you know. What's the turnaround time?"

Gunnar looked up into Lyle's face as he nodded to Gunnar, signaling good news. He wrapped his warm body around him, holding him close.

"Give me three weeks"

Scene Eleven

Back at the Harris estate, Lyle and Gunnar were laying by the fire when they got the call.

"Hello Cranston, what's the news?" Lyle said, sitting upright and giving Gunnar a 'one minute' gesture.
 

Gunnar raised up from Lyle's lap and brushed pre-cum off his lips. Cranston was Lyle's private investigator, so he knew this was going to be important.

Only a few minutes went by as Gunnar watched Lyle's face. It wasn't long before he could see relief flooding the handsome features. Gunnar rubbed his hands over his extended belly and waited.

As soon as Lyle closed the call he turned and said, "They got him. The PI sent the past few weeks of surveillance to the police and they grabbed him outside of a daycare in Charlotte. Parole violation."

"That's good then, right?"

"Even better, actually. Turns out that when they nabbed him he started raving about gorilla shifters impregnating their male interns and they put him in for a 5150 psych hold."

"What will that mean?"

"Well, first of all, we never have to worry about him using that information for blackmail ever again, and secondly, you're probably going to have to stay inside for the rest of your pregnancy."

Gunnar snarled up his face while Lyle kissed his nose.

"There, there, I'll still bring you your favorite treats from the deli and pamper you every moment I'm home."

Gunnar smiled wide as he replied, "I guess that'll do then."

"Or we could just wait for our little bundle of fur and then get married," Lyle casually said as he pulled out a titanium band from his back pocket.

"What are you saying?"

"I'm saying, Gunnar Gray, will you be mine forever?"

Gunnar rubbed his stomach, feeling the flutter of early morning sickness hit. His hand barely made it to his mouth to hold back the impeding sickness before jumping over Lyle to get to the bathroom.

He came back into the room a few moments later, looking a little pale and sheepish.

"I'll try not to take that personally," Lyle laughed.

"You did this to me," Gunnar mock-punched him, "but yes, I'm definitely and utterly all yours Mr. Harris."

Promo for Striped and Bear

Matthew Bruner is a bear shifter destined for greatness. Or so, that's what he's always been told. As the next in line to become alpha of his clan, Matthew's days of singlehood are drawing to a close. Long since committed to a prearranged mating, Matthew finds himself feeling trapped and, worse, afraid. In a desperate attempt to prolong his freedom, Matthew flees his family's ancestral home and heads to the nearest city. It's there that he meets Ezra Tier, a tiger shifter with a bad streak the size of a mountain. 

Ezra Tier has spent the better part of his life not giving a damn. He goes where he wants, does what he likes, and answers to no one. Leading a life as a globetrotting rogue has its perks, and for Ezra one of those perks has been the ability to pick up and move on whenever things get too complicated and messy. So when he encounters a simple mountain bear shifter with broad shoulders and a shy personality, it's all Ezra can do to maintain his unattached persona. 

When a familiar and dangerous presence shows up in search of Matthew to bring him home, Ezra must change his ways in order to keep his newfound love by his side. Failing that, Matthew will be forced to go through with his prearranged mating and Ezra will lose him forever. Can these two shifters from different worlds come together in time to save their budding relationship? Or will the experience leave their hearts stripped and bare?

Preview of Bearly Hanging On 2

Chapter One: Holden

Holden Ryder had had enough. He'd just said goodbye to yet another girlfriend when a stray text message alerted him to the cheating that had went on right under his nose.
 

How difficult is it to find someone that just is truthful and good-hearted?
He wondered. He didn't have trouble getting women. At six feet tall, dark hair and eyes, and a muscular frame, women naturally flocked to him and giving them attention was one of his favorite pastimes.
 

He worked hard and he played hard, but there was no getting over the pain of another opportunity passing him by. As much as his friends liked to tease him, Holden was looking for someone to fall in love with. He'd finally found his calling and opened up Bearskin Tattoos where he was the lead tattooist. After a couple of years of operation, it was generating a nice little profit and four more tattooists in the area were working along side him. Money, while not overwhelming, was enough to pay the bills. He was content.
