Beast Bear (Return To Fate Mountain #2)

Chapter

Forty-Eight

Theo closed the distance between them in a matter of seconds. His hands were rough as they grabbed her, pressing her back against the rough bark of a towering oak. The tree dug into her bare shoulders, but she barely registered the pain. All she could feel was the heat of his body against hers as he claimed her mouth in a scorching kiss.

“Theo,” she whispered, her voice trembling with need.

His cock pressed insistently against her stomach, already hard and leaking. She gasped, her hands flying to his broad chest, feeling the rapid thud of his heartbeat beneath her fingertips. His tongue plunged into her mouth, exploring every inch with a ferocity that made her knees buckle. She moaned against him, her hands sliding up to tangle in his hair, pulling him closer, desperate for more.

His hands roamed over her body, leaving trails of fire in their wake. He cupped her breasts, kneading the soft flesh, rolling her nipples between his fingers until she was crying out with pleasure. Then his mouth followed, his lips closing around one peak while his fingers teased the other. She arched into him, a low whine escaping her throat as he sucked and nibbled, sending waves of pleasure coursing through her body.

Theo’s hands moved lower, tracing the curve of her hips before slipping between her legs. She was already soaked, her slick arousal coating his fingers as he teased her entrance. He growled against her neck, the sound vibrating through her as he pressed a finger inside her tight heat. She gasped, her walls clenching around him as he began to pump his finger in and out, setting a slow, torturous pace that had her panting.

Her back arched off the tree as she came undone, her release crashing over her in waves that left her trembling. He pulled his fingers from her dripping pussy, bringing them to his mouth and sucking them clean with a low growl of satisfaction.

Then he dropped to his knees as he buried his face between her legs. His tongue plunged into her, lapping at her folds. He devoured her like a man starved, his tongue flicking over her clit until another orgasm ripped through her.

Theo rose to his feet, his eyes dark with desire. He pressed his body against hers, his cock throbbing against her stomach as he kissed her. She could taste herself on his tongue and it only fueled her need for him.

Serena shoved Theo down onto the forest floor, his broad shoulders sinking into the bed of pine needles that crunched beneath his weight. The scent of earth and sweat hung heavy in the air, mingling with the primal musk of arousal that radiated off them both.

Her inner cougar roared, demanding she claim what was hers—what had always been hers. Theo’s cock throbbed against her thigh, hard and insistent.

She straddled him with a growl, her thighs bracketing his hips like a predator pinning its prey. The moon’s pale glow spilled over her bare skin, highlighting the curves of her body. She arched her back, letting the cool night air brush over her heated flesh.

Her fangs descended, sharp and glinting in the moonlight. She licked her lips, her pussy clenching in anticipation as she positioned herself above him.

“You’re mine,” she growled, her voice low and guttural, as she sank down onto his cock in one fluid motion.

He stretched her wide, filling her to the hilt, and she threw her head back with a shuddering moan. Theo’s hands gripped her hips. She rode him, grinding herself against him, the head of his cock hitting her g-spot with every thrust. Her clit throbbed, swollen and aching, and she reached down to rub it in tight, frantic circles. The pleasure built, coiling tight in her belly, and she could feel another orgasm approaching like a tidal wave, ready to crash over her.

She managed a ragged gasp as she came. “I need to claim you. I need you as my mate.” Theo met her gaze, pupils dilating with the same desperate hunger she felt.

In one swift motion, he flipped her onto her back, pinning her down with a strength that made her clit throb. His hands were everywhere—gripping her wrists, trailing down her sides, palming her tits with a roughness that made her whimper. His cock barely left her cunt, just enough to make her ache with emptiness before he slammed back into her.

His fangs descended, sharp and lethal. Serena arched off the ground. She could feel the edge of another orgasm clawing at her, relentless and raw, as Theo fucked her with a ferocity that left her trembling.

“I need to make you mine,” she breathed.

Theo lowered his head to flick his tongue across her neck. “Are you sure?” The gentleness in his voice nearly undid her.

Serena swallowed and nodded, cupping his cheek. “Yes. I want us to claim each other,” she said, words trembling with conviction. “Now.”

They bared their necks to each other. Their fangs sank into each other’s flesh, sharp and deep. The pleasure and pain was a lightning bolt that arced through her body, igniting every nerve ending. The taste of him exploded on her tongue—rich, metallic, and intoxicating. He groaned, the sound low and primal, and she felt his body shudder against hers.

As he came inside her, her body convulsed with waves of pleasure, his cock pulsing inside her throbbing core. The sensation was electric, his come pumping against the sensitive walls of her pussy. She could feel his pleasure as if it were her own.

All of Theo’s memories and secrets surged into Serena’s mind in a breathtaking rush, and at once, she experienced the same intimate immersion of her life stories flowing into him. The world around them dissolved into a shimmering, infinite void—stars and luminous nebulae stretched out in all directions, their bodies adrift as if freed from gravity itself. Serena felt both giddy and serene, like she was floating in the heart of the universe, with Theo’s presence anchoring her in this cosmic sea.

High above, galaxies swirled in slow, eternal spirals. Constellations pulsed softly, as though exhaling beams of light around them. She saw Theo across a starlit plane, his form outlined in brilliant silver against a velvet-black horizon

Theo took her hand, and his voice rang through her psyche: I will always protect our bond.

Her entire being responded. She felt her cougar spirit roar awake inside her chest, no longer afraid to connect. Serena’s vow of acceptance exploded like a supernova, so bright she thought it might fill this cosmic realm entirely. She offered him her trust, and Theo’s heart echoed back that devotion, weaving them into one another with threads of starlight.

Slowly, the radiant brilliance faded, and they found themselves lying side by side on a cushion of pine needles, their bodies warm from the aftermath of that otherworldly joining. Moonlight fell across their bare skin, and overhead, the same stars shone—only now, they seemed so much closer.

Serena’s breath caught as she turned her head. Theo’s eyes, still luminous, gazed back with awe and tenderness. Her pulse fluttered as she realized that the bond she had once feared was, in fact, her greatest liberation. Never before had she felt so wholly herself yet irrevocably linked to another soul.
