He slides to a stop in front of Carter and the hair on his back goes down as they stare into each other’s eyes. Carter is totally calm and his commanding dominant presence has a real effect on Buddy who instantly becomes submissive around him.
Once his ears are back and his tongue is hanging out, Carter pets him and the two look like they’re best friends.
I take a breath of relief as I head back to the door.
He won over my dog and he’s quickly winning over me.
Who the hell is this guy?
Chapter Six
Carter
My bear is not taking this well. Every second is a struggle.
I have my girl moved into my place and instead of enjoying this like I should be doing, I’m being tortured by my grizzly.
He won’t stop growling in my ears and snarling angrily at everything I do. His intentions are clear and I know exactly what he wants.
Claim her! Mark her!
He won’t let it go. Her wonderful smell is wafting through my house, and it’s turning him into a monster. I don’t think he’s ever going to stop until I’ve claimed her soft curvy body and unloaded the hot cum building inside of me into her young waiting womb. We both want her bred. I want to see her stomach nice and round with my child. I want her bound to me in the way that only comes with breeding her.
He wants our mark on her neck. My grizzly won’t rest until she’s clearly ours. Hopefully, he’ll calm down once she has our mark on her neck. Then whenever another man sees her they’ll know she’s ours. They’ll know she’s taken and if they dare touch her, they’ll have Carter Lamb to deal with.
Aubrey is in the spare bedroom going through her things. She thinks she’s staying in this room, but she’s got another thing coming to her. It’s going to kill me, but I’ll allow her to sleep in here tonight while she settles in and becomes more comfortable. But after tonight, she’ll be all mine. I’ll have her in my bed with my cock lodged in her fresh little pussy and then she won’t ever be allowed to leave.
I can’t have my mate running off into the world without me. I can’t have her living somewhere else where I won’t be able to keep my protective eyes on her. I need to be around her. And she needs me, even if she doesn’t realize it yet.
I step into the doorway and lean on the frame as I watch her. She’s mesmerizing and I can’t get enough of her.
I’m completely captivated by her in every way, and I’m totally on board now.
It was stupid to think that mates were a waste of time and energy. I know that now. I know I could never fall out of love with this curvy beauty. Ever. I can feel my love for her flowing through my veins and it’s not going away.
“Thanks again for letting me stay here,” she says when she sees me. “They evicted me because they didn’t like the way Buddy was always barking. But don’t worry, I’ll get a new apartment as soon as I can.”
I cringe when I hear that. I don’t want her to ever leave.
Buddy gets up and rushes over to me with his tail wagging. He’s a dominant alpha, just like me, but after smelling me face to face, he realized who the real alpha was and he submitted.
I could tell he was just being protective over Aubrey and the smell of my bear was making him nervous. I think he knows that I want to keep her safe as well. Dogs always seem to be able to sense that about people.
“I want you to stay, Aubrey,” I tell her as I kneel down and pet Buddy. “Don’t think about leaving just yet. Stay here and see if you like it. If you do, then you’re welcome to stay as long as you’d like.”
She tucks a loose strand of hair behind her ear as she watches me with her shy honey-colored eyes. I still can’t believe she’s in my house. Fuck, the things I want to do to her… Her loyal protective dog wouldn’t be groveling at my feet if he knew what I had planned for his master.
“Thank you,” she says as she watches me. “You’re too sweet.”
The doorbell rings and I head over with Buddy by my side. It’s Westin with the rest of her stuff.
“Thanks for coming,” I say to him as he walks in.
“Are you kidding me?” he says as he looks past me with a big goofy grin on his face. “I have to see the girl who cracked open your stone heart. Does she know she’s mated to the one shifter who refuses to have a mate?”
