Cinderella's Billionaire Bear: A Shifter Fairy Tale (5 page)

Charming brought a
sense of adventure into my life. He made me feel alive, which was something I
had not felt since my stepmother became the matriarch of my family.

Being with Charming the
another night made me happier than I had been in years. So why shouldn't I
allow myself to get swept up by his seductive charms once again?

He pulled my dress over
my head, and again I didn't stop him. He lifted me up onto his mahogany desk
and unclasped my bra to reveal my naked breasts. I arched my back, making it
easier for him to suck my hard nipples into his mouth.

My body scorched all
over as he fondled and sucked my breasts. With his mouth still on my nipple,
Charming reached down and pushed my panties to the side.

He entered me with his
fingers, then moved in and out at a rhythmic pace. Over and over again, he
fucked me with his fingers until I came hard from his efforts.

Charming pulled out his
fingers, and I could see that they were drenched with my juices. His gaze
locked onto mine as he slipped those drenched fingers into his mouth and sucked
them clean. Even though he had just made me cum, my body was on fire again from
seeing the hunger in his eyes as he licked my juices off of his fingers.

"You taste as
sweet as honey, Cinderella. I could eat you all day long," he said with a
growl.

"Maybe so. But
it's my turn to get a taste of you now," I said as I reached for the
zipper on his pants.

Suddenly, there was a
loud knock on the door, and I immediately froze.

Charming cleared his
throat, then asked, "Who's there?"

"Mr. Moore, it's
me, Paul. I have some important updates to report to you."

"Can't it wait?
I'm busy with an employee right now."

"I'm sorry, Sir,
but it's rather urgent."

"Okay, give me a
minute or two to finish up in here first."

"Yes, Sir,"
said the man on the other side of the door.

Charming handed me my
clothes and said, "I'm so sorry, Cinderella. You have no idea how much I
want to ignore Paul to continue with what we were doing, but..."

"But it's your
casino, and you need to be in charge now that there's a problem."

"Yes, exactly. I'm
so glad you understand. Can I see you tonight after your shift ends?"

"I can't. I have
to be home by a certain time."

"How about tomorrow
then?"

"I'm scheduled to
work in the daytime, but I don't want to come to your office again tomorrow
since that would look suspicious. I'm sorry; I know it sounds like I'm trying
to be difficult. But really, it's only because my stepmother keeps such a close
tab on me."

"It's okay. We'll
figure something out. I'll see you soon one way or another," he said
before opening the door for Paul. "Thank you again for your time,
Cinderella. Your answers have been very helpful to me," he said before
politely dismissing me in front of Paul.

I stepped out of
Charming's office with my adrenaline still pumping. Not only because of what
Charming had done to me earlier, but also because of how close we had been to
getting caught in the act.

If I were to continue
seeing Charming like I had agreed to, then I needed to make sure we were more
careful about our relationship. I didn't want any rumors to go around about me
sleeping with the owner of the casino. More importantly, I didn't want my
stepmother to ever find out that I had met Charming at a wedding that she had
specifically forbidden me to attend. I had no idea what my stepmother would do
if she were to found out. All I knew was that she would certainly make my life
a total living hell.

Chapter 5

Charming

"So you're saying
that the Beast did all of this?" I asked after Paul had finished reporting
what he had learned from the private investigators.

"Yes, according to
the private investigators, the Beast was upset that our casino had been gaining
a lot of new customers ever since the renovations were finalized last season.
He felt that we were stealing his customers and decided to take some action
against us."

"That bastard's
forever trying to screw over everyone he knows. So I'm not really surprised he
would do something like this to take out a competitor. I just can't believe one
of our own employees is helping him to ruin us."

"That's people for
you. It's all about doing what benefits them," said Paul.

"Well, to be fair,
the Beast is a shifter like us, and he only does things that are in his best
interest."

"I guess you're
right, Sir. Both humans and shifters are capable of doing really shitty things
to others."

Cinderella

The next day, I went to
the casino and was happy to see that the casino was open for business again. So
I guessed whatever Paul had to report to Charming yesterday had somehow helped
him to make things right with the police department again.

With the entire place
filled with gambling patrons, it didn't take long for me to become busy on my
shift. Drink orders were made left and right; I hardly had a moment to breathe.
Yet instead of feeling flustered by it all, I was actually quite glad. It was
nice having real work to do while at the casino again.

Two hours into my
shift, Donald pulled me from the casino floor. I was baffled by his decision to
do so, considering how busy it still was out there. Nonetheless, I listened to
him and gave the drink tray back to one of the casino's bartenders.

Afterward, Paul, the
man who had interrupted my meeting with Charming yesterday greeted me in the
casino's front lobby. He told me the big boss wanted to see me and asked that I
followed him without any further questions.

I was caught a bit off
guard by it all. But after a moment, I nodded my head and followed Paul out the
casino's door.

A black limousine was
parked right by the casino's entrance. Upon seeing me, the chauffeur quickly
got out of the limo to greet me by name. He opened the limo door for me to get
inside. I took a peek to see who was already in there. Then once I saw
Charming's handsome face, my nerves relaxed, and I got in to join him in the
limousine.

As soon as the chauffeur
closed the limousine's door, Charming slid over and wrapped his arms around me.
He gave me a passionate kiss as he mumbled that he missed me.

I murmured back that I
missed him, too.

Once we both broke away
for some air, Charming looked at me and said, "I hope you don't mind me
pulling you out of work to meet with you like this. It's just that I really
needed to see you again. And with you having a curfew and all, I figured this
was the easiest way for us to see each other again."

I smiled at him and
said, "Yes, meeting here is fine, Mr. Moore. I'm just happy to see you
again."

His smile reached his
eyes upon hearing my words. "By the way, Cinderella, you don't have to
call me Mr. Moore when it's just you and me. Outside of the casino, I'm no
longer even your boss. You can just call me Charming like you did the first
night we met. Unless, of course, you're into some sort of power play. In that
case, I don't mind playing along."

He winked a sexy wink,
and I immediately blushed. "I wouldn't know whether I'm into it or not
since I've never actually tried it with anyone before."

"Then remind me to
try it out with you sometime soon," he said with a devilish grin.
"But not today, though. Today I want to mainly focus on getting to know
you better."

"What do you want
to know about me?" I asked.

"Everything there
is to know about you. I want to know what makes you happy, sad, mad, and turned
on. Also, I want to know how you went from being Sin Natasha to
Cinderella."

"Being around
happy people makes me happy. Seeing others sad makes me sad. Getting yelled at
by drunk gamblers at the casino makes me mad."

"And what turns
you on?"

I bit my bottom lip,
then said, "Being around you always turn me on."

"Well, I'm glad to
hear we're of the same mind on that last one."

"What? Are you
saying that you get turned on whenever you see a reflection of yourself in the
mirror?" I teased.

"Hell yeah. I'm
too sexy for my own good," he laughingly played along. "But no, what
I mean is I get so turned on whenever you're around."

Then as if to further
make his point, he kissed me again, and I eagerly kissed him back. His hand
landed on my bare thigh, sending wanton need throughout my entire body. Then he
crept his hand up even further to my wet cotton panties, and I struggled to
bite back a moan.

He peeled away from me
momentarily and said, "I was trying to keep my hands off of you today to
focus on getting to know you better, but you drive me so crazy with lust, I
just can't help myself."

"It's okay,
Charming. I want this just as badly as you do."

"Mmmm," he murmured
as he pushed my panties to the side to get to my wet slit. "You're already
so wet for me."

He probed his fingers
inside and circled my clit with his thumb. Being the generous lover that he
was, I had no doubt that he would have continued pleasuring me with his fingers
until I was cumming and screaming his name. But in that moment, I needed
something more than just his fingers. I needed his shaft inside of me now.

So I unzipped his pants
and pulled out his erection. Then I got on top of him and eased down onto his
shaft. His hands wrapped around my waist as I bounced up and down. The way he
looked at me made me feel like a total sex goddess, and I rode him harder and
faster until we both came together.

Afterward, I stayed on
top of him for a while longer, simply enjoying my afterglow together with him.

Charming

My mate was really something
else. Not only was she witty and sexy, but she also wasn't shy about going for
what she wanted when it came to sex. It was so hot the way she straddled me
earlier and rode me as if she was a cowgirl.

But now that we had
both gotten some sexual relief, it was time for me to focus again on getting to
know her better. After all, my biggest goal now was to get her to agree to be
my mate for life, and that would probably require her to feel more than just a
sexual connection with me.

Cinderella was fully
human. She didn't have a bear inside her to let her know that I was the only
one for her. So being her fated mate, it was my job to convince her that was
the case. I needed to talk to her, really get to know her, and strengthen our
emotional bond.

"You know,
Cinderella, you still haven't told me how you came up with the Sin Natasha
nickname at the wedding."

"Honestly, I never
meant to go by that name. It just sort of slipped out that way."

"From Cinderella
to Sin Natasha? Isn't that a bit of a stretch?"

"Not if you knew I
was pretending to be my stepsister, Tasha, while at the wedding."

"But why were you
even pretending to be her in the first place? Were you guys playing some sort
of game where you showed up as her and she showed up as you?"

"No, Tasha didn't
want to come to the wedding, and I wasn't supposed to be there at all."

"Why? Did your
stepmother not want you to go or something?"

"Yeah, besides
going to work at the casino, I'm not really supposed to go anywhere. My
stepmother likes to keep a close eye on me at all times."

"Why? Doesn't she
realize you're a fully grown woman now and can't always be under her
control?"

"If anything, that
probably makes her want to control me even more," she said with a sigh.

"Well, Cinderella,
let me just say that I'm very glad you showed up at Larry and Goldie's wedding
instead of your stepsister, Tasha."

"Hey, you don't
know that for certain. You haven't even met my stepsister yet."

"After meeting
you, I don't need to meet anyone else."

Cinderella

The limo halted to a
stop, and the chauffeur opened the door to let Charming and I out. We had
arrived at an amusement park that had fairy tale as its central theme. I had
been to this amusement park before, back when I was still very young. My mom and
dad were both still alive at the time, and they had taken me here on a holiday
weekend.

The memory brought a
tear to my eye, and Charming soon noticed.

"What's wrong? Do
you not like it here? We can go somewhere else if you prefer," he said
with his voice full of concern.

"No, I don't want
to go anywhere else. I love it here."

"Then why is there
a tear in your eye?"

"Because I
remember the great time I had here with my parents way back then. But don't
worry, Charming, I'm not sad about it. It's nice to remember such fond memories
again. Plus, I'm thrilled about creating some new memories here with you as
well."

My words helped put Charming
at ease, and he smiled brightly at me. He took my hand, and we ran to the
nearest ride together. There was no doubt in my mind that this was going to be
the most awesome date ever.

****

After our date ended,
Charming brought me back to the casino instead of taking me home since I didn't
want my stepmother to see him dropping me off at the house.

I went from riding in a
limousine back to driving a beat-up car again. Yet I was still humming a
cheerful tune as I entered the door to get inside my house.

My stepmother caught me
humming and gave me a stern glare that completely stopped me in my tracks.

"You know,
Cinderella, I've heard some rumors about you when I went in to work at the
casino today. They said you were seen skipping work in the middle of your
shift. Someone even said they saw you getting inside a black limousine. Care to
explain yourself?" asked my stepmother, Giselle.

 "They must have
mistaken me with someone else," I lied.

My stepmother kept her
intense gaze on me for a while longer before letting out a heavy sigh. "I
guess you're right. It must have been a mistake. Because who in their right
mind would want to pick you up in a limousine? Very well then, Cinderella,
change into your house dress and get started on your chores."

"Yes,
Stepmother," I said before doing just as my stepmother had instructed.

****

Coming into work at the
casino on the following day, my mind was full of thoughts. I wondered whether
Charming had come in for the day and whether he was going to invite me out
again like he did yesterday. Also, I thought about what my stepmother had said
to me last night and felt an empty feeling in the pit of my stomach.

Who had caught me
stepping out of the casino and into a limousine yesterday? What else did they
know about Charming and me? And what would my stepmother do if she found out
that I had been secretly dating the owner of the casino?

Would she miraculously
find it in her heart to be happy for me? Or would she do everything she could
to tear us apart?

As my stepmother, she
had nothing to lose and everything to gain if I were to one day marry Charming.
But after many years living with my stepmother, I had sadly learned that she
was a very jealous woman. She hated everything left behind by my biological
mom. And she resented the fact that my dad used to favor me over Tasha while he
was still alive. So I wouldn't be surprised if she felt that by hooking up with
a billionaire I was somehow stealing a great opportunity from her and her
biological daughter.

Despite my worry and
paranoia blooming, my heart still skipped a joyful beat when Donald told me
that someone was waiting for me in a black limousine outside.

I knew it was risky to
see Charming now when my stepmother was starting to get suspicious. But I
missed him too much to let fear prevent me from seeing him again.

So I walked out of the
casino and got inside the black limousine as quickly as possible to prevent
anyone from seeing what I was up to.

The limo's doors locked
as soon as I got in. I thought for sure Charming would be seated inside
already, waiting for me like he did yesterday. But no, he wasn't in there.

A man I didn't know
held me in place while another man gagged me. I tried to kick and scream, but
it was of no use. The limousine started moving, and I panicked inside.
