Bear-ly A Hero (Bear Claw Security 2) by Terry Bolryder

said with a smirk. “Just one thing, though,” he said, reaching into his back pocket as he held her weight in one arm easily, producing a small foil packet.
    Limes didn’t know how officially mating someone worked exactly, but the last thing he wanted to do was find out the hard way. 
    Jamie didn’t appear deterred, though, and to his surprise, she snatched the packet from his hand.
    “Allow me,” she said, tearing it open and pulling out the condom. As he held her propped up against the wall, she slid it down over him, her fingers playing with his hard length, teasing him and driving him crazy. Based on her smile and the way she watched eagerly as Limes fought his body’s response to her touch, she seemed to be enjoying the feeling of control as he let out an involuntary groan from so much arousal and having her so close like this.
    “Enough,” he growled, sealing his lips over hers in an intense kiss that felt like fire and filled him with unquenchable heat. Immediately, her hands let go of him and found his shoulders, holding on as he lowered her slowly onto him.
    As their bodies came together, Jamie gasped against him, his mouth still closed over hers as he filled her completely. She was so tight yet somehow just the right size as he felt himself overcome by her slick warmth surrounding him.
    For a long moment, he held her still, giving her time to adjust to his size. Jamie let out small, tantalizing huffs as her initial shock turned to unfettered arousal, her eyes rolling back and her neck arching backward.
    “Whatever you’re doing, don’t stop,” Jamie said with orgasmic satisfaction in her voice.
    “I haven’t even started yet, babe,” he replied, unable to keep a smile from quirking at the side of his mouth at the sight of her complete surrender to the pleasure he gave.
    With that, he lifted her slightly as he lowered himself below her, then pushed into her with one long, smooth thrust, and Jamie moaned loudly in response, the sound so delicious it could make him lose control. 
    After this, bodyguard or not, Jamie was never leaving his sight. Limes didn’t know exactly how, or even why, he felt that way, but somehow he’d make sure she was safe. Safe from her co-workers. Safe from whatever it was out there that was after her. Safe from anything and everything.
    Mate , the bear inside him called, but Limes didn’t have time to think about it as Jamie pushed herself off him slightly and came down over him, making his nerves go berserk with arousal. 
    Together they came, over and over, Limes holding her as he thrust into her and she pushed onto him, the ferocious, overwhelming pleasure between them building at a blinding pace. Each time they came apart, they pushed together harder and faster. And with each thrust, she gasped louder and held on tighter as he felt his own body tensing more every second.
    He’d been through a lot of things in his lifetime, but something this exquisite, this incredible, was far beyond that. Something about Jamie took ahold of him and shattered all his limits.
    Before he could think or notice anything else, though, he felt her tighten around him, her hands gripping his back familiarly, as she had twice before already, as her orgasm overcame her. As her release took over and coursed through the incredible woman he was inside, he felt a shock of sensation jolt through him, and then he came with her.
    Together they rode out their release. He held her close as her nails raked along his back, making him wish he was shirtless so he could feel her touch better on his skin. He lost all semblance of thought and cognition as his entire body was consumed with pleasure, originating from where their hips still met. 
    Even as the feelings ebbed, Limes could feel satiation and contentment coming off Jamie in waves as she smiled up at him, both exhausted and pleasured. 
    That smile was so perfect; he never wanted to do anything that could take it away.
    But then he took in their
