Lisa's Bear Read online

  “Miss Mathers.” David held out his hand as he stared at her soft pink lips. All he could think about was kissing those lips until she was breathless and taking her right there in the parking lot. From the painful confines of his suddenly too tight jeans, David’s cock was in full agreement with his thoughts.

  “Hello.” Lisa chewed on her bottom lip as she held out her hand.

  “It’s nice to meet you.” A warm electrical current shot through David’s fingers the second his touched Lisa’s fingers.

  Lisa jerked her hand out of his. She cradled it against her ample stomach.

  “Are you okay?” David stepped closer. He sniffed the air.

  “I’m fine.” Lisa tried putting space between them but the car stopped her. She watched the huge man stare down at her like she was the main course at his next meal. Lisa felt her womb spasm and moisture soak her panties. Her nipples turned into small, hard pebbles and rubbed uncomfortably against her bra.

  Her intense reaction to David frightened her. Her brain screamed at her to run from him, but her body had other ideas. She wanted to run her hands over his chest and cover his skin with kisses as he slipped his cock inside her. She had never wanted to do anything like this before, but then she had never felt this strongly attracted to any man like she felt with David. Lisa didn’t know what was wrong with her. She tried telling herself it was because she hadn’t had a man in her life for too many months, but even she wasn’t really buying the excuse.

  David smiled when the honey scent of her arousal wrapped around her silky rose scent.

  The Kodiak bear sharing his body raised its huge head and growled its approval. Our mate! Our mate! It chanted over and over as it pushed its way to the surface.

  It took every ounce of David’s strength to hold back his bear. She’s human. She doesn’t know about shifters. We don’t want to terrify her.

  The bear growled at David. Want my mate.

  I want her too. The intensity of his desire shocked him too.

  Take her. Take mate. Make her ours. The bear growled and scratched at David’s rib cage.

  David groaned. Sometimes his bear had too much of a one-tracked mind, but in this instance they were in agreement. He wanted his mate as much as his bear did.

  “I think I need to get back inside,” said Lisa. She turned and grabbed two cases of soda.

  Even though he didn’t like it, David realized Lisa needed some breathing room. “If you’ll hold open the door to the gym, Ben and I will get the rest of this,” he said as he took the two soda cases away from her.

  Lisa nodded as she took several quick steps away from him.

  David handed the two cases of soda to Ben who immediately stacked them on top of each other and waited for his uncle to stack a couple more cases on to them.

  “You’ll hurt yourself if you carry all of that.”

  Ben grinned at his teacher. “I’m a lot stronger than I look.” He started walking toward the gym.

  Lisa shook her head. “He shouldn’t be carrying all of that.”

  “He’ll be fine,” said David as he picked up the stack he had created. “Can you close the trunk?”

  “Yes, I—” She stared at the stack of boxes David lifted out of the trunk. “Let me take some of that,” she said as she reached for the top boxes.

  “I’ve got it. If you could close the trunk, it would be a big help.”

  Lisa bit her bottom lip as she nodded. She thought about Jerry, her ex-boyfriend. Not once did he do anything like this. In fact, he expected her to do all the toting and carrying, telling her it was good exercise since she didn’t do anything else to take care of herself.

  She wasn’t used to being told not to help. But I could get used to it, she told herself as she closed the trunk and led the way to where Ben was waiting at the front door.

  For the rest of the night, Lisa tried avoiding David, but everywhere she turned or went, he wasn’t far away. She was both flattered and frustrated, and she couldn’t help telling herself there was no way a super, sexy guy like David Anderson would ever be interested in a well-padded, curvy woman like her. It just didn’t happen that way. The good looking guy always went home with the beautiful but extremely thin model.

  David stayed as close as he could to Lisa. Neither he nor his bear wanted to be away from her. She was his mate, and he had to protect her, but he also knew she didn’t understand the urgent pull between them and he had to give her time to adjust.

  At the end of the dance, he and Ben stayed and helped Lisa straighten up.

  “You are going to walk Miss Mathers to her car, aren’t you?” asked Ben as they watched Lisa thank everyone.

  “Yea, that’s the plan,” said David without taking his eyes off of Lisa. He watched her grab her purse. “Let’s go,” he said to Ben. Without waiting for Ben, David walked over to Lisa. “Are you ready to leave?” he asked her.

  The sound of his deep, sexy voice made her instantly wet and she sighed sadly, knowing nothing would come from her attraction to him. “Yes.” She held out her hand. “I want to thank you for taking the time to chaperone. I appreciate the help. I hope Ben had a good time, and I hope we didn’t keep you from anything important.”

  David took her hand and brought it to her lips. The honey scent of her arousal mixed with her natural rose scent was driving him crazy. He tore his lips from her hand and stared into her beautiful blue eyes which were a swirl of emotions. “You aren’t keeping me from anything.”

  Lisa felt her face heat up. She tried pulling her hand out of David’s, but he refused to let it go. “I—We have to go. They want to lock up the gym.”

  “We’ll walk you to your car.”

  “That’s not necessary.”

  “Yes, it is. Your safety is important.” David tucked her hand in his arm and led her out of the gym. He knew Ben was following behind them.

  When he reached Lisa’s car, he stopped and waited for to get her keys out of her purse. “Go out with me tomorrow.”

  Lisa almost dropped her keys. She stared at David.

  “Go out with me tomorrow,” he said again.

  Lisa shook her head. “I don’t know you.”

  David smiled. “I know you are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever met, and I know you want me as much as I want you. Go out with me tomorrow.” He pulled Lisa against his chest and kissed her.

  The kiss was soft but demanding, and Lisa groaned in protest when he ended it.

  David stared at her. “Say you will go out with me tomorrow.”

  Lisa nodded her head.

  “I’ll pick you up at 7:00 tomorrow night.” He bent his head and captured her lips with his again. “What’s your address?”

  “1601 Pecan Road, just off of County Road 1516.” Desire clouded her eyes and fogged up her brain.

  David smiled as he stepped away from her.

  His bear whined. Want my mate. Want my mate now!

  David ignored the beast as best he could. He wanted his mate too. That’s why he had stepped away from her. If he had continued touching her, they would be doing a lot more than just kissing in the school parking lot. Not exactly what he wanted Ben or anyone else to see.

  He put Lisa in her car and watched her drive away. “Buckle up,” he told Ben as he slid behind the wheel.

  Ben obeyed his uncle without a question.

  David followed Lisa home, and watched from a distance to make sure she got safely inside her house.

  And then David did the hardest thing he had ever done.

  He drove away from his mate.

  CHAPTER 2

  Lisa stared at the digital clock on the table by her bed. She had less than thirty minutes to figure out what she was going to wear on her date with David Anderson.

  Her date with David Anderson!

  What was she thinking when she agreed to go out with him.

  Lisa slapped her forehead with her hand. She wasn’t thinking and that was the problem—well, at least part of the problem. David’
s kisses were the other part of the equation.

  His kisses were lethal. They should have a warning label attached to them.

  Kissing these lips will cause a loss of all rational thoughts, and will cause strange cravings for more kisses.

  Lisa sank down on the edge of the bed. Her fingertips caressed her lips as she remembered the feeling David’s lips felt like on hers.

  The desire.

  The hunger.

  The fierce need to possess.

  Lisa’s pulse quickened. Her nipples turned into hard pebbles and her womb quivered. She imagined David’s hands touching her, his lips kissing her body. Her pussy grew wetter and wetter with each image.

  She struggled to control her breathing.

  She wanted David.

  She needed him in a way she had never needed any man before.

  And this frightened her.

  Lisa’s hand fell away from her lips. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly. “I can’t do it. I can’t go out with him,” she told herself. Tears filled her eyes. How could she not go out with him?

  The doorbell rang causing Lisa to jump.

  She looked at the clock. It was 6:45, fifteen minutes before David was supposed to pick her up. Lisa wiped her eyes with the cuff of her gray sweatshirt and got up. He was early and she wasn’t ready.

  The doorbell rang again.

  “This is for the best,” she told herself over and over as she walked to the front door.

  Her heart pounded in her chest and she was sure David heard it too even though he was on the other side of the door. Lisa closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Slowly she let it out and opened her eyes.

  Lisa opened the door.

  She gasped.

  Her hands shook.

  David’s black jeans molded perfectly to his hips, as the hunter green western-style shirt fit perfectly, showing off the muscles in his chest and arms. Lisa pulled her eyes up to his face. Her eyes locked with his warm chocolate brown eyes. She bit her lip just as a sigh reached them.

  David smiled as he watched her short blonde hair danced around her chin with each movement she made. His gaze skimmed over the luscious curves she tried hiding under the oversized gray sweats. Pictures of her generous breasts resting in his hands filled his brain. He didn’t care what she wore, as long as it came off so he could worship her gorgeous body.

  She was beautiful.

  “I—I don’t think this is a good idea.” The words were barely a whisper.

  “What do you mean?” David’s gaze traveled up to Lisa’s face. He frowned. Her eyes were slightly red and they glistened with unshed tears.

  “I—We—It’s not a good idea for us to go out—on a date, I mean.” Her chin trembled.

  The honey scent of her arousal mixed with her silky rose scent tickled David’s nose. His cock grew painfully hard.

  My mate’s upset, growled his bear.

  David sniffed the air. A sharp tang hung close to Lisa. His bear was right. Their mate was upset.

  Lisa chewed on her bottom lip.

  “What’s wrong?” He reached out and caressed her cheek with his knuckles.

  Lisa leaned into the caress before she could stop herself. When she realized what she was doing, she pulled away.

  “Lisa?” David and his bear both growled their disapproval.

  Must make mate happy! The Kodiak bear roared in David’s head.

  I have to find out what’s wrong before we can make her happy, David growled back at his bear. Work with me, not against me.

  The bear growled several more times, but settled down a little bit. Both were in agreement about Lisa being the most important person in their life, which made her happiness important.

  Lisa shook her head. “Going out is not a good idea.”

  “Why not?”

  “It just isn’t.”

  “If you’re afraid of me because of my size, you have my word, I won’t hurt you.”

  Lisa swallowed. “You’ll break my heart and I can’t let that happen.”

  “Lisa, you’re special to me. I won’t do anything to hurt you. I will try to the best of my abilities to keep you safe and happy.”

  She stared at David.

  “We don’t have to go out. We can stay home, watch a movie and order a pizza. Whatever you want to do, it’s your choice.”

  Lisa chewed on her bottom lip. Her head told her to close the door and walk away, but her heart and body said otherwise. They were already connected to David in ways she didn’t quite understand. She stepped back and opened the door wider.

  David stepped into the living room and waited for her to close the door. It was all he could do to keep his hands at his sides when all he wanted to do was wrap them around her and pull her close.

  Lisa slowly turned around. She nibbled on her bottom lip as she looked at David. She never felt so nervous and weak in the knees as she did at that moment. The rational part of her brain screamed at her to throw him out, but the rest of her want to throw herself at him.

  “Do you want to go out for dinner or stay here and order take out, though we’re kind of limited to just pizza delivery. I could go pick something up.”

  “You really want to go out with me?”

  “Go out. Stay home. I want to be with you. You’re beautiful.”

  Lisa felt her cheeks grow warm. She shook her head. She may have accepted her curves for the most part, but she knew most men didn’t like them, and David was too gorgeous to want a curvy girl. It didn’t matter how much he turned her on, or how much she wanted him—and she wanted him. Her panties were already soaked.

  David watched the blush bloom across her face and the emotions dancing in her eyes. He sniffed the air. Her honey scented arousal made his cock even harder.

  Want mate. Mate wants us. His bear raised its huge head and pushed closer to the surface.

  David’s skin itched. His bear was too close to the surface. If we change, it will terrify her and nobody will get their mate. He gave his bear a shove, hoping the animal would take the hint.

  Want mate, growled his bear.

  As do I.

  The bear growled again, but he turned and sat down.

  The itch plaguing David’s skin went away, and he gave a sigh of relief.

  “It’s okay if you want to leave. Like I said, it’s probably not a good idea for us to go out,” said Lisa. Her voice was so soft and filled with longing.

  David quickly closed the distance between them. He wrapped one arm around Lisa’s waist and pulled her against him while his other hand went under her chin, forcing her to look up at him. “Does this feel like I want to be somewhere else?”

  Lisa’s eyes widened. She felt his hard cock pressed against her belly. “I—I—I—" she stuttered.

  David took advantage of her stuttering. He leaned down and captured her lips with his.

  Lisa jerked back, but David refused to let her go. The kiss slowly deepened. A soft moan escaped from Lisa. She closed her eyes and kissed David back.

  David felt her resistance fade away. He deepened the kiss, putting everything he felt for her into the kiss. His hand slid down from her chin to one of her breasts. He gently squeezed and massaged it.

  Her moans encouraged him and he slipped his hand under her sweatshirt and pushed away the lace covering her soft mounds. He teased first one nipple and then the other until they were hard little pebbles. Breaking the kiss, he pulled the sweatshirt off of Lisa and tossed it aside.

  She shivered in the cool air.

  David watched her breasts rise and fall with each breath she took. The honey scent of her arousal was stronger, and demanding his attention in a way nothing else had ever done. He unfastened her bra and let if fall to the floor.

  Mine! His bear roared.

  Mine! David roared in agreement. He kissed her swollen lips, branding her with his and created a trail of kisses down to the ample breasts that called to him, begging for attention.

  Lisa moaned and arched her
back, giving him full access. David didn’t hesitate. His lips closed around one of the hard little pebbles and started sucking and caressing it with his tongue. He let go of the nipple and rained kisses over her breasts.

  A whimper tore from Lisa when he let go of her nipple. She didn’t want him to stop. Never had her breast felt so heavy. Never had she felt so wanted. Her womb clenched as a whole new need built in her like a raging wildflower.

  David captured her other hard pebble with his lips. She smelled like roses, but her skin tasted like the sun-ripened dewberries he loved to snack on. He nipped the hard little pebbled causing Lisa to draw in a sharp breath. With one more flick of his tongue, he let go of the breast.

  He lifted her into his arm.

  Startled, Lisa could only cling to him.

  “Bedroom,” he growled.

  “Down the hall, last door on the right.”

  Three seconds later, David put Lisa down on the bed and removed her sweatpants and panties in one fluid motion. Her neatly trimmed pussy glistened invitingly to him. The intense honey scent of her arousal made his mouth water.

  Lisa watched David’s chocolate brown eyes turn black with his desires. His gaze strayed down to the bulge in the front of his jeans. “Clothes off! Now!” she demanded.

  David chuckled. He pulled his shirt free from his jeans and slowly unbuttoned it.

  Lisa licked her lips. The muscles in her pussy clenched in need and anticipation. Her breast felt even heavier.

  Tossing the shirt to the floor, David stared at the tiny beads of moisture leaking from the lips of her swollen pussy. He knelt between her legs and pulled the lips apart. He paused just for a second to admire the beautiful pink color of her pussy. Without warning, he licked her pussy, pausing to tease the nub. He felt Lisa tremble.

  The taste of her pussy was like a drug, a drug he would never be able to give up. He continued licking and sucking on the nub causing her to moan with desire.

  Lisa tossed her head from side to side. She didn’t know how much more of this she could take before she went over the edge.

  David teased her open with his tongue. Each lick brought another sweet moan to his ears. Slowly he pushed a finger inside her. Lisa’s muscles clamped down on it as she arched her back. David pushed in and out, thrilled at how she responded to him. He added another finger as he sucked harder on her nub. Her muscles tightened as she tensed. He stroked her until she shuddered and screamed out her release.
