soon as I finish with this paperwork and stop by the sheriff’s office to see Todd, then we will go home to Abby.
Not good enough. We go now.
Skylar shook his head again. We will go when I get finished.
Away from mate too long. Not good.
She is safe at home—our home.
Evil tried to hurt mate. We must protect mate.
If you would settle down, I could get this report finished a whole lot faster.
Skylar’s bear growled, but it didn’t say anything else. The animal started pacing back and forth.
Skylar closed his eyes. The pacing back and forth was extremely annoying, but at least the two of them weren’t fighting as they used to fight. Having Abby back in their lives brought a peace to them that they had lost.
He didn’t like leaving Abby alone at his house, but she needed her sleep. He thought about calling her, but he didn’t want to wake her. He honestly did not know how she had kept going for so long.
Our mate is strong.
Yes, she is. Skylar had to agree with his bear.
Cubs will be strong.
It is a little soon to be thinking about cubs. We just got Abby back in our lives.
Mate is beautiful. Mate will be more beautiful when she is huge with cub.
Skylar loved Abby’s curves. Her wide hips gave him something to hold onto when he pounded into her. He closed his eyes. He could feel her heavy breasts in his hands. He imagined the pebbled nipples. His mouth watered, knowing her soft skin tasted of honey and vanilla.
He adjusted his jeans, but it didn’t help much. The more he thought about Abby, the harder his cock became.
Go get mate.
I am almost finished.
His bear growled. Work faster.
Q uit thinking about Abby and how her body feels.
The bear licked his lips . Like the way mate sways back and forth when she walks.
Skylar groaned. He knew exactly what the bear was talking about, and it didn’t help his problem. He gritted his teeth. Skylar wasn’t sure which was worse—a horny man or a horny bear.
Want mate.
Sit down. Pace. I don’t care. Just be quiet, so I can finish this paperwork.
His bear snorted, but it sat down.
Skylar readjusted his jeans but he knew only one thing would actually help him with his problem—burying himself deep into Abby’s sweet, tight pussy.
Want mate too.
Skylar growled. Give it a rest.
The bear chuffed as it nodded its huge head.
Skylar grinned. You are right about one thing. Our mate will look even more beautiful when she is huge with our cub. He turned his attention to the computer screen. He scanned through the numbers, verifying them with the pile of receipts in front of him.
Several minutes later, he sent the document to Theo Willis, and shut down the computer. He paper clipped the receipts and stuck a sticky note on top of the stack. Skylar glanced at the rest of the papers littering his desk. “I have got to get a secretary and soon.”
Skylar’s stomach growled as she stood up and stretched. He looked at the clock on the wall. It was almost noon. Abby should be waking up about now, he thought.
Grabbing his keys, he locked the office and got into his truck.
Chapter 11
Skylar turned onto Main Street. Going this way meant he would have to go a couple of miles out of his way to get to the sheriff’s office. He knew he should turn around and retrace his route, but he couldn’t do it. Something wasn’t right. He had to go by the building. A block from the building Abby’s company was contracted to renovate, Skylar turned down a side street that led to the alley behind the building.
He understood why Abby went into the renovation side of construction. So many times in the past, he wanted to restore a house instead of tearing it down and building a new, modern structure. The older buildings had character that the newer ones lacked.
Skylar slowly passed the building. He stepped down hard on the brakes, causing them to squeal. Two vehicles were parked in the parking lot. One was a car he didn’t recognize; the other was Abby’s
