“Oh I would love that sweetie.  I look forward to it.  It’s a small enough town I’m sure I will be able to track you down,” she says with a smile.

Smiling back at her, I relax fully into the seat and go back to gazing out the window.  I really am glad that I sat beside Dot.  I feel so much better about everything now.  It’s like a ten-ton weight has suddenly been lifted from my chest and I can breathe again.

In what feels like minutes, the plane begins to descend and the stewardess comes over the PA to announce that we will be landing shortly.  For the first time since I accepted Ethan’s proposal, I finally feel somewhat excited at the prospect of meeting him.  I also suppose that in a way, I really am curious if what Dot said is true.  Will I know if he is the right man for me just by looking into his eyes?  I suppose one can only hope.

Finally, the plane touches down and we begin taxing to our gate.  The closer we get, the more excited I am to begin this part of my life.  It’s as if the closer I get, the more I feel a sense of calm wash over me.  Honestly, it feels as if I am finally coming home after years of being away.  A sense of peace begins to settle in my heart and it’s all I can do to stop myself from jumping out of my seat and pushing everyone out of my way to ensure I’m the first person off of the plane.

Screeching to a stop, the plane finally sidles up to the gate and the other passengers immediately begin standing and rifling around for their carry-on luggage.  Sliding out of her seat, Dot stands in the aisle first and slides her purse over her shoulder.  Standing behind her, I reach into the overhead bin and grab hold of my bag before anxiously waiting for the line to start moving. 

The second the passengers begin to exit the plane I’m hit by another wave of anxiety.  What if he doesn’t like me?  What if he thinks I’m ugly and can’t stand the scars on my face?  As if sensing my unease, Dot glances at me over her shoulder and gives me a subtle nod of her head. 

“You’ve got this Amelia.  Don’t let your own self-doubts scare you away now.”

Nodding back at her, I attempt to put a smile on my face in the hopes of showing her that I believe her words.  My smile must be enough to convince her, since she turns back around and begins to follow the others off of the plane.

As soon as I’m off of the plane, I begin weaving through the passengers suddenly in a rush to come face to face with Ethan and get this over with.  By the time I get to the escalator that will bring me down to the arrivals section of the airport, I am all but running in my haste to get to Ethan. 

It’s as if some unknown need is forcing me forward and giving me the confidence to put one foot in front of the other.  Taking these last few moments to talk myself up, I silently repeat the mantra that I can do this over and over again in my head.

The moment I step onto the escalator and begin my descent down into the main lobby of the arrival terminal, I begin scanning the crowd for any signs of Ethan.  I have never once seen him before, but something tells me that I will know exactly who he is the minute I set my eyes on him. 

Scanning over the crowds, I suddenly see the most gorgeous man standing off to the side.  His thick dark hair looks almost black, and he has the sexiest beard I have ever seen covering his handsome face.  I have never in my life been attracted to a man with facial hair, but one look at him and I can’t help imagining what it will feel like against my skin.  What it would feel like to have that sexy thick beard rubbing my thighs as he ate at me like a starving man.

Instantly I feel as if my body is on fire, and as much as it should scare me to feel this kind of instant attraction to someone, it actually does the opposite.  It takes everything in me not to start shoving people out of my way and take off running right into his arms. 

I haven’t even gotten close enough to him to be able to tell what color his eyes are yet but my demanding body doesn’t seem to care.  The only thing it seems to be worried about is getting a piece of that hunk of man waiting for it.

If this is what Dot meant when she said I would know if I had made the right decision or not then I must be completely screwed.  I haven’t even said hello to this man and I’m ready to strip off my clothes and let him take me. Now not only am I nuts, but I’m also a horny slut.

As I get closer to him, his eyes meet mine.  He looks me up and down and then growls.  Yes, he growls.  The sound sends a wave of fear down my spine.  I stop in my tracks, just staring at him.  He starts to move towards me and for the first time, his size registers in my brain.  He’s massive, absolutely huge.  Even though his size scares me, my eyes drop to his jeans.  I wonder if all of his body is so big.

CHAPTER SEVEN

Ethan

AS DISGUSTED
as I was at taking a human wife before, my revulsion is completely gone now.  The moment I caught the spicy-sweet scent of her arousal, I knew she was mine, my fated mate.  She’s the one woman I’ve spent my entire twenty-nine years looking for.  Now that I’ve found her, there’s no damn way I’ll ever let her go. 

Her brown hair reminds me of the earth after a long rain, beautiful and rich. Her skin is like porcelain, with a few freckles sprinkled across her nose.  The scar on her face doesn’t take away from her natural beauty. She’s small, barely above five feet in her sandals.  Her body is curvy, with luscious hips and succulent breasts.  It’s all I can do not to take her on the floor in front of everyone.  My bear is desperate to claim her in front of everyone, making it known that she is taken.

“You’re mine.” I growl out, looking into her jade green eyes. 

Taking a step back, a frown instantly mars her beautiful face before she murmurs, “Excuse me?”

Ignoring her question, I grab her hand and pull her through the airport at a swift pace.  My eyes roam the space, looking for somewhere, anywhere we can get a minute of privacy.  Finally spying a bathroom, I jerk her inside and shout at the men standing at the urinals.  “Get the fuck out.”

Within seconds, zippers are up and the men are rushing out the door.  Letting her go, I place her at the back wall.  “Stay right there.”

Pushing the doors open to each stall, making sure they’re all empty, before pushing a trashcan in front of the door.  As soon as I’m done, I turn to look at the human woman shaking on the far side of the wall.  Again the thought “mine” crashes through me and my bear goes wild, clawing my insides in his need to get to her. 

She places her hands flat on the wall behind her, never taking her eyes off me.  “What’s wrong, Ethan?”

“Not a damn thing.” Walking towards her, I can hear her heart beating in a quick rhythm and smell fear radiating from her.  Above that though, I can smell her need for me.  She’s in heat, and I’m going to take care of her.  I’m going to make her mine forever.  

Reaching her, I place my hand on her cheek.  My large hand covers the entire side of her face, threading into her dark hair, making her appear even smaller than she is.  Tipping her head back, I look down into her eyes and say, “I need you right now, Amelia.  I’m sorry, I can’t wait.”

Her green eyes meet mine, and they are filled with both trepidation and excitement.  “But we’re not married yet.”

I nearly tell her that I only need to mark her once and we are more than married, we’re mates.  Instead, I gentle my voice.  “You were mine the minute you got off that plane.  A piece of paper isn’t going to change anything.  I need you now.”

My eyes are drawn to her slender throat, her pulse beating erratically “We’re in a bathroom.  I don’t want my first time to be in a bathroom.”

Her words take a second to register in my brain, and I can’t stop myself from crushing her against my body.  She’s mine, only mine and completely untainted.  I will be the only man to ever feel the pleasure her body can bring.  I take a minute, attempting to control my need, before responding.  “I won’t take you here, but I need to mark you.”

She wiggles in my arms, looking up at me with a look of confusion.  “Mark me?”

Shit, this is where having a human mate is going to be tricky.  She doesn’t understand what I need as a bear shifter.  Even after I explain what I am, she may never understand.  Taking in a deep breath, I lean forward and run my beard-covered cheek over her scar, letting know it doesn’t bother me.  “I want to smell myself on you.  No, I need to smell myself on you.”

“What did you just say to me?” she asks, her body shaking with a mixture of both need and fear.  Her head may be telling her she should be afraid of me, but the rest of her is urging her to take me any way she can get me. 

Moving my hands to her hips, I pick her up and press her upper body into the wall, forcing her to wrap her legs around me.  “I’m gonna lick your pussy, until your taste is the only flavor on my tongue.  Then, I’m gonna pull out my cock and come all over you.”

Her eyes flare with indecision.  “Uhm… I’ve never.  I uhm...”

Cutting her off with a deep kiss, I get my first taste of her as I carry her to the sinks.  I continue to explore her mouth sliding my tongue along hers, while placing her on the counter.  Finally pulling back, I go to my knees, spreading her legs apart.  Pushing her dress up, I take in her cotton-covered pussy.  Rubbing my nose over her mound, I can’t help but breathe her essence in deep. “You smell so damn good.”

Rubbing my fingertips over her already damp cunt, I slide her panties aside and get my first look at her virgin pussy.  If I couldn’t smell her need, I would know damn well how desperate she is for me after one quick glance.  Her lips are flushed and swollen, her clit peeking out desperate for attention. “Oh, fuck, baby.  Your pussy is beautiful.”

Not hesitating, I dive into her wet center.  The first taste of her need has my bear growling out in need. Taking my time to savor her flavor, I slowly lick up one side of her pussy and down the other before stabbing my tongue deep inside.  The second my tongue is thrust deep into her channel I feel her muscles begin to pulsate around me. 

Slowly dragging my tongue out of her body, I take a second to lick up all of her delicious juices before I carefully thrust a finger inside of her, feeling the barrier that proves that she is mine and mine alone.  At the same time, my lips latch onto her clit.  Sucking hard, I move my fingers in and out of her creating a steady rhythm as I work to wring the orgasm out of her tiny body.  Just as I feel her body begin to tighten, I allow my bear to come forward and my fangs to slide down.  Maintaining the suction on her clit, I move just the barest amount and graze my fangs over her hard clit.  It takes barely a moment, before her pussy clenches around my fingers and she screams out her pleasure, creaming all over my hands and face. 

I gentle my motions, lapping up the last of her juices before standing up to look into her dazed eyes.  “Fuck baby, you have no damn idea how badly I needed that.  Now, it’s my turn.”

She stares at me in her post-orgasmic haze, as I unzip my jeans and pull out my thick cock.  I am so fucking hard; my dick feels as if it could burst at any second.  I honestly don’t think I have ever been so hard before in my life.  The head of my cock is a deep purple, and the veins covering my erection are pulsating with need and desire.  Swiping my thumb over the head, I spread the drops of pre cum pouring out over my shaft, releasing a moan at how amazing it feels to have her watching me. 

I begin to stroke it slowly, just looking at my mate.  With each slide of my hand she lets out a gasp, her eyes transfixed on my cock. 

“You like what you see baby?” I ask through pants.

Releasing a drawn out moan, she carefully slides to the edge of the sink before reaching down and running her index finger over the tip of my cock.  Before I can even process what is happening, she sticks the digit into her mouth and sucks my come right off of her finger.  “Mmm. God yes, I love it Ethan.”

“Oh fuck that’s hot,” I say before speeding up my strokes.

Closing my eyes, I imagine what it will feel like to be inside her tight pussy.  Just as I feel my balls begin to draw up towards my body, she leans forward and cups my sack, gently rolls my balls around in her silky palm.  It doesn’t take long, before I’m coming all over her bare legs in thick long ribbons. 

As soon as the last of my cum is on her, my hands are on her thighs rubbing it into her skin.  “Shit baby, that was so damn hot.  Now that I’ve marked you, everyone will know you’re mine.”

CHAPTER EIGHT

Amelia

LOOKING OVER
to where Ethan is quietly sitting, driving the truck, I still cannot believe what just happened. I honestly have no damn idea what came over me.  I have never been the brazen sort, but it was all I could do not to drop to my knees in that dirty bathroom and suck his cock right then and there.  The fact that he nearly fucked me in the bathroom is shocking enough, but when he came all over my thighs I nearly lost my mind.  If anyone had thought of doing something like that to me before, I would’ve kicked them in the nuts and ran.  Now, it takes all my willpower to keep from pleading with him to pull the truck over and beg him to do it all over again.   

Sneaking another peek at him, I have to shake my head.  What the hell is a man that looks like him doing ordering in a wife? He is the most stunning man I’ve ever seen.  He isn’t classically handsome, but he’s hot as hell.  I’ve never seen so many muscles on one man in my life.  It’s as if his muscles have muscles and they’re fighting each other for dominance.  Every time his hands clench the steering wheel, the muscles in his forearms jump and cause me to just about come in my seat.

His eyes cut to me for just a second, before he looks back to the road.  “We’ll be there in about two hours.  Sorry the drive is so long, but there’s no other airports close to Willow Creek.” 

“That’s okay.” I mumble out, unable to take my eyes off him.  “Is Willow Creek a small town?”

He nods, before answering.  “Sure is, and I like it that way.”
