Once Upon a Shifter (14 page)

Her eyes trailed down his body and stopped at his cock. She swallowed hard and then looked back into his eyes.

There were no words. She opened her legs for him, letting her body do the talking.

He stepped over her leg and positioned himself in front of her spread pussy. He glanced at her glistening pussy lips before leaning over her and putting his mouth on hers.

She moaned into his mouth as his cock fell onto her.

Rebecca writhed her hips under him, rubbing herself on his hard shaft. “Just stick it in,” she moaned impatiently.

Connor reached down and grabbed his cock. He guided the tip through her lips, feeling around for the hole. Her pussy opened before him and he slid into her tunnel.

She was so smooth on his cock, so silky on his sensitive skin.

She grabbed the back of his arm and dug her nails in as he pushed all the way inside her. She was so tight, so fucking hot.

He thrust in deep until he couldn’t push any further and then pulled back out slowly. He picked up the pace as she moaned his name and begged him to fuck her harder.

He pounded his hips relentlessly into her, making her cry out, making her writhe in pleasure.

Rebecca moaned and panted under him. She wrapped her ankles together and drew him in further.

Connor hooked his arm under her knee and pulled it up over her waist. She gasped and screamed out short, high pitch cries.

He ran his hand down her curvy thighs, taking in every inch of her sexy, shapely legs. He lowered his head on her breast and took her nipple in his mouth.

Her body was beautiful. And it was his. For tonight.

He rocked his hips in and out of her, her breasts bouncing around with the movement. Her body stiffened up and her back arched as she called out his name in incoherent mumbles and screams.

She was about to come. He could feel it. He could feel her body seizing, he could feel her pussy tightening around his shaft.

He thrust harder, trying to push her over the edge. He squeezed her leg and plowed his hips into her relentlessly.

She inhaled a serous of quick, violent breaths and then raised her chest up as her face contorted. “Fuck!” she screamed as she threw her head back, slamming it into the soft ground.

Her pussy tightened around his cock as she came and it pushed him over the edge to meet her. “Ugghh,” he grunted as his whole body convulsed and an intense glow of pleasure overtook him. He released his seed into her and she moaned, biting her lip, staring up at the stars with glossy eyes.

He unhooked his arm from under her leg and lowered it back to the ground. Her legs were shaking.

He slipped out of her, the both of them gasping as they were no longer one and collapsed down on the ground beside her.

He found her hand and snaked his fingers into hers as they both looked up at the night sky.

“If you are hiring I’m off for the summer,” she said.

Connor smiled to himself. There was nothing that he would like more.

“Do you have any skills that would be of use?” he asked, squeezing her hand.

She slid her hand down to his softening cock and brushed her fingers along his wet shaft. “I’ll give you a minute to recover and then I’ll show you.”

“You’re hired.”

Grace and Edwin

eight

“God damn it!” Grace screamed as she clung onto Edwin’s kayak. “Those were seven hundred dollar sunglasses.”

She was draped over Edwin’s kayak like a kid about to be spanked as it flew out of control down the wild river. Stinging rain pelted her body as waves jumped up and smacked her across the face.

“Fucking Becca!” she screamed as she bounced up on the hard kayak. “This shit would never have happened in Ibiza!”

Becca couldn’t hear her. She was long gone. Connor and her had turned left in the river fork and she and Edwin had turned right. God knows where Angie was.

Grace tried to push herself up but slipped on the wet, smooth surface of Edwin’s kayak and fell back down with a thump.

“Will you pull this fucking thin-” a wave slammed into her open mouth and she swallowed a pint of water. “Gross,” she mumbled. “Fish poop.”

It was like Mother Nature had pulled the ultimate bitch fit on her.
What did I do to deserve this?

Edwin didn’t even seem bothered. He was silent, his face calm. Just a grunt here and there as he tried to control the unruly kayak on the ferocious river.

The kayak bounced on a huge wave and Grace flew up. A strong arm draped over her ass catching her, and pulled her back down. His hand never left her ass even though she was back on his lap and holding the kayak.

“Excuse me!” she yelled, squinting her eyes up against the pelting rain. “Do you mind?”

Edwin looked down at her and grinned. No way was this country boy, redneck going to put his hands on her, no matter how hot he was. She postured up with one hand and slapped him across the face with the other.

His arms flew up in shock and the paddle sailed out of his hands. It landed with a splash and traveled away from them down the river like a rocket.

The kayak began to vibrate under Grace as Edwin’s head shook. A grumbling was coming from him that was so loud it was drowning out the sound of the roaring river.

What the hell?

Edwin’s face was turning brown before her eyes. His nose was extending and turning black. She felt weight on her ass and turned to see his hands swelling up five times their size and turning brown. Long, thick claws extended from his fingertips.

She gasped as the kayak hit another wave and bounced. She looked back up at Edwin and screamed when there was a brown bear in his place. The kayak creaked and snapped as the massive bear stretched it out from within.

The unsteady weight of the bear toppled it over and she slid into the river head first. She plunged under the water flailing her arms and legs frantically. Her hand hit something furry. She grabbed a handful of fur and held on.

Her lungs were burning and she spit out her last bubble of air, when her head broke the surface. She gasped and breathed in. She was holding onto the bear as it was swimming towards the shore.

She almost let go, almost screamed when a wave crashed over her head. She breathed in desperate breaths and looked around for Edwin. The blue kayak was floating away down the river in pieces. Edwin wasn’t on it.

But she had seen Edwin change into this…no something was wrong. It couldn’t be. Her mind was playing tricks on her.

The rain started to let up, the darkness turning back to sunlight as the clouds moved on to fuck someone else’s day up.

But she had seen what happened. This bear was Edwin.

The bear swam lazily to the shore. Grace held on until her feet scraped the squishy river ground.
Ew!

She got to her feet and stood up. The water was waist high. The bear glanced at her with disinterested, soft brown eyes. She screamed and sprinted out of the water into the forest.

Grace ran.

All of those hours on the treadmill were finally paying off for something other than reducing her cellulite and tightening her ass. She raced through the trees, jumping over rocks and ducking under tree branches.

By the time that she stopped to look back she couldn’t see anything but trees. She had left that bear in the fucking dust.

And now she was lost in the woods.

God damn it!

Grace looked back to see if the bear was following her. A flash of gray darted across a clearing and disappeared behind a bush.

She gasped. But the bear was brown. She heard footsteps behind her in the other direction and spun back around. There was nothing there but she could feel a dark presence. Something was watching her.

A low growl, like her neighbors’ doberman watchdog, filled the forest, sending her closely trimmed arm hairs up.

A skinny, ragged, gray wolf walked out of the trees on her right. She spun around and gulped. This wolf didn’t look like the wolves that she saw on TV. Grace could count his ribs. His hair was matted in some areas and chewed off in others. He stared at her with hungry, desperate eyes.

Another wolf stepped out of the bushes behind her. Another in front. Two more to her left.

Grace tapped the pocket of her shorts just in case her cell phone was there to call her Senator Dad. Maybe he could drop a SEAL team from a helicopter to save her.

Nope.

She was on her own.

Edwin drank some river water in his bear form as the blond ran out of the water into the forest.
Where is she going? To the bathroom?

He stared at her baby blue shorts as she ran away. Her ass moved like a chipmunk’s cheeks full of nuts. An invisible force felt like it slapped him across the face and he jerked his head back. The forest disappeared around her as only she remained in his view. His bear legs weakened and he collapsed into the water.

She disappeared into the forest as the bonding process was complete. Edwin had bonded to Grace.

He phased back into his human form and couldn’t wait to tell her the good news. He walked onto the river bank and paced back and forth waiting for her to return.

He was so excited that he wasn’t even nervous about telling Connor that he wrecked another kayak.

What is taking so long?

He stepped into the forest and looked around. “Grace,” he yelled out. “I have great news! We’re going to be together forever!”

She didn’t answer.

Edwin sat down on a fallen tree and waited. He looked down and realized that he didn’t have any clothes on.
It’s okay. We’re mates now.

He caught a whiff of dog and perked up. Edwin lived as a bear in the woods for over a decade and was used to those pesky, mangy mutts always trying to steal his food and waking him up with their annoying howling. They wouldn’t dare attack him but what about Grace?

He heard a scream in the distance and was on his feet sprinting through the forest. His feet traveled light and fast over the forest terrain. Neither Connor nor Sidney could even keep up with him in the forest.

Edwin could smell Grace in the distance. That horrible chemical scent of suntan lotion covering the delicious smell of her sweat.

He burst through the trees and the wolves scattered out of the way. Grace saw him and almost collapsed to the ground.

“Great news!” he said, ignoring the wolves. They darted away and turned in circles in the distance. They wouldn’t attack when Edwin was there.

She looked at him jerking her head from side to side and shaking uncontrollably. She was talking to herself, speaking low and rapid.

“We’re mates!” Edwin said, stepping up to her and grabbing her hands. His shoulders slumped when he saw her face. She wasn’t even happy.

She glanced down at his naked body and her eyes widened. It was okay. They were mates now.

Grace jerked her head back towards the wolves. “Edwin,” she whispered, her lips trembling. “The wolves.”

Edwin exhaled. The wolves were ruining his moment. He dropped her hands, picked up a stick and threw it at the irritating flea bags. It skidded up to their paws and they retreated back into the forest. He didn’t want to hurt them. There was no need for that. He just wanted them to leave, so that he could share the good news with Grace.

“Grace,” he said, grabbing her hands again and looking into her wide eyes. “We’re mates.”

Her knees buckled and her eyes rolled in the back of her head. Edwin caught her as she fainted and collapsed to the ground.

He hoisted her over his shoulder and carried her back to the river bank.

Grace opened her groggy eyes and put her hand to her head. It was pounding. She gasped and sprang up when she remembered the wolves.

“Hi beautiful,” Edwin said. He was standing in the river completely naked with a squirming gray fish in his hand. Grace glanced down at his nakedness. It was longer than the fish.
