STORY EXCERPT

"Hey, where are we?" Sean asked, pulling me from my thoughts. 

"About fifteen minutes out of Belle Fort," I replied. 

He rubbed his eyes and moved his seat upright. "We should stop and get food before we go looking for the alpha."

"You're right. No one likes a hungry bear, let alone two hungry bears. I hope this lead gets us somewhere," I said, whispering the last part. 

We'd been searching for every clue, every lead, looking for any sign of my brother for the past month. It was hell because we always came up short. That is until the previous tip. We heard about a wolf pack dealing with human hunters and traps. It sounded like the situation we were dealing with in my sleuth.

"Me too. It would be nice to go home," Sean replied. 

"Thank you for co—"

"Shut the fuck up. If you thank me one more time for coming with you, I'm going to kick your ass. Ollie is like a little brother to me. There's no place I'd rather be."

I snapped my mouth shut and smiled. Sean had dropped everything and turned every stone along my side. I was eternally grateful for everything. He was a true friend. 

"There's a diner. Let's stop there." Sean pointed. 

I pulled into the lot, and my bear perked up. I scanned the area, nothing seemed out of the ordinary, but he was up and pacing in my mind. It's probably because we're in another shifter's territory, I thought. 

I parked, and we got out. I raised my arms over my head and groaned as I stretched my back. It felt great getting out of the vehicle. Even though it was a big luxury vehicle, we'd been driving for hours, and I still stiffened up. 

"Come on, Ozzy," Sean called, walking toward the entrance. 

I smirked. Sean always got excited when it came to food, and by the smells wafting out from the building, it was wondrous. 

I picked up the pace and followed Sean into the restaurant. I paused and inhaled deep. I moaned at the scent. It was the most delicious aroma I'd ever smelled in my life. It smelled like an entire bakery of fresh sweets. My cock began to harden, and I moaned again. 

"Hey! Cut that shit out. People are staring," Sean said, smacking me in the chest with his hand. 

I scanned the room and blushed. There were several heads turned our way, mixed with expressions of confusion and amusement. 

"Welcome to Mike's. Two?" a chipper blonde asked. 

Sean smiled. "Yep. Just us two."

The woman didn't move. She glanced around, then leaned forward. "You're not going to cause any trouble, are you? This is my dad's place. Does our alpha know you're here?" she whispered. 

"We're not here for trouble. We plan to speak with your alpha, but we figured we should eat first. Bears can get cranky if they're hungry," Sean whispered back. 

The young she-wolf nodded. "Okay, right this way."

We moved across the dining room, and I looked around. The patrons were primarily wolf shifters with a few humans. I wondered how large the pack was. I hoped that they could help us with finding my brother. 

"Here you go. Menus are on the table. Enjoy," the perky girl said. 

Sean took his seat, and I followed suit, quickly grabbing the menu. My stomach rumbled, and I glanced up at Sean's laugh. 

"It's all right. It does smell good in here, and I'm starving," Sean said. 

I looked back down to read when the most alluring smell reached my nose. I was instantly at full mast. I moaned, and my head fell back. 

"Dude. What the fuck is wrong with—"

I growled and swung my gaze to the side. A young man was standing by our table with trembling hands. He held two glasses of water, and his eyes were wide with fear. 

My bear roared within me, wanting, no needing, to defend this beautiful creature with long brown hair and scared blue eyes. I jumped to my feet, and the small man gasped as he stared up at my face. 

"Ozzy. What the hell are you doing?" Sean said, also standing. 

The room had gone silent, and several heads had turned. I ignored them all and stepped forward. I raised my hand and softly touched my beautiful mate's cheek. 

"I'm sorry. Please, I-I," my mate said.

"Hush, pup. Do you know who I am?" I asked. 

He shook his head, and his hands trembled more. "Oz, man. You're scaring the wolf," Sean said in a hurried whisper. 

I growled, and my mate flinched. No, that wasn't right. I didn't want him scared. "Smell me, Pup. Recognize who I am."

ADULT EXCERPT

“Your destination is on the left.”

As I pulled up to a small home, my heart pounded. It looked like a tiny cabin with two large stone chimneys. The front door opened, and I threw my SUV into park. Caleb stepped from the door, and I jumped out. I needed to get close to him. His long brown hair contrasted his navy-blue shirt. He was stunning. 

Caleb smiled nervously. “Hi.”

I grinned. "Hi, pup."

I leaned down and kissed his lips. Caleb clasped his hands around my neck and pushed into my body. I loved the feel of his tiny frame pressed against my larger one. I wanted more. I wanted to feel more of him. 

I growled into his mouth and picked Caleb up into my arms. He quickly wrapped his legs around my waist, and I walked him back inside, never breaking the kiss, while our tongues battled for dominance.

I had always dreamed and wondered how it would feel to kiss my mate—how it would be different. The reality was better than any of my fantasies. My cock hardened and pressed against my jeans. 

I continued walking inside and set Caleb on the couch. I pushed him back on the sofa, and he gazed up at me. Desire filled his eyes, and I roughly grabbed his jeans button. I had him unbuckled, unzipped, and his cock free in seconds. 

His dick was long and slender, around seven inches. It jerked and pulsed precum, and I couldn’t wait anymore. I needed to taste him. He arched and screamed as I sucked his throbbing dick into my mouth. Never in my life had I ever felt something so marvelous. I’d sucked guys off before, but the knowing this was my mate had me wanting. I bobbed up and down, taking him deeper each time. I fumbled with my zipper and freed my aching shaft as I sucked him to the base.

"Oh my God!" Caleb yelled. 

His whole body trembled, and his dick hardened further. I knew he wasn't going to last. I stoked my dick faster, wanting to climax with my mate—to share in his experience.

Caleb reached down and touched my hair. I grunted around his cock, and he yanked back his hand, misinterpreting my grunt. I wanted him to grab me. I lifted my head from his shaft. 

"You can grab my hair and move. Fuck my mouth, pup," I said, then went back to servicing his dick. 

I didn't have to tell him twice. My words appeared to excite him, and he immediately grasped my hair and thrust his hips up. I gagged a little, and he lightened his hold, allowing me to pull back, but then shoved me back down again. Then he pulled me up and down until he was fucking my face.

His grip tightened, and his thrusts became erratic. His shaft began to pulse, and my hand flew over my cock. Tingles rippled through me, and I knew I couldn't hold back anymore. 

"I'm coming!" he yelled. 

He stiffened and forced my head down his shaft. His dick throbbed and erupted turrets of cum down my throat. I groaned and pulled back, sucking every drop out of his dick. His cum tasted as sweet as honey, and my bear rumbled at the flavor. We couldn’t get enough. 

Caleb let go of my head, and his body relaxed. He peered down at me, and I stared up at him as I licked his dick clean. He trembled again, and I grinned. The reality of being with my mate was better than my dreams.

Caleb moved to sit up, but I stopped him. "Where are you going, pup?" 

"I was going to help you since you sucked me," he said. 

I laughed and rose from my knees.
