Bear to the Rescue (Bear Claw Security Book 3) by Terry Bolryder Page B

against the inevitable waves of passion moving toward her as his finger got more deft and nimble, swirling her toward a void that was filled with something unknowable until she arrived there.
    She clenched up in tension at how it would feel, nearly willing her body to resist, as after the build-up she’d had, it would be nearly unbearable. Then she felt his finger dip inside her as his tongue thrust against hers again, and she arched and screamed his name.
    Wave after wave moved through her, making her entire body tense and release as her nerves came alive from head to toe. She felt herself jerk as the pleasure moved through her and pushed against his hands, writhing blindly at what was happening.
    She forced her eyes open to see him staring down at her, blue eyes dominant and intense, as if he knew he’d forced her to go and was pleased with it.
    And she was pleased as well, feeling his strength easily capture her no matter how she writhed against his hold. She liked the idea that she could never escape. It gave her more confidence he would never let go.
    And now that she was experiencing all of this pleasure a second time, she was pretty sure she didn’t want him to.
    “You’re so beautiful, Regan,” Bronson said. “So mine. I want to take you.”
    She gasped against him and writhed more. “I can’t… I don’t… What are you doing to me?”
    He released her hands and came between her trembling legs, parting them easily as his mouth found her and kissed her deeply at her center, just as passionately as he’d kissed her mouth.
    It was warm and intimate and moved her closer and closer to another orgasm before she could even think about how to resist him.
    She screamed his name as she came again, convulsing against his mouth as he lapped at her, kissing her all the way through her pleasure as her hands threaded into his hair. She cried his name again and again as his mouth relentlessly stroked, letting her fall back in release only to get the tension started all over again.
    She didn’t know how many times she came like that, with him stroking and kissing and wringing every last bit of pleasure out of her that she could take. Even some she couldn’t.
    Her whole body felt shaken and exhausted, yet there was a hunger in her that wasn’t yet sated.
    She grabbed his head and yanked it forward so he was facing her, and he looked into her eyes with a cocky expression that said he knew exactly what she wanted.
    “Take me,” she said. “I’m begging you. Begging, pleading, screaming, whatever you want. Just take me.”
    “All the way?” he asked against her ear. “Without protection?”
    She blinked. “As a mate?”
    He nodded. “Will you take me as a mate?”
    Her heart pounded. A part of her wanted that. Her body did for sure. Her bear as well. But she also knew as much as Bronson was urging her toward that decision and as much as getting to know him was making it all seem more palatable than it ever had been before, she still wasn’t ready.
    And she didn’t want to make such an important decision while stuck in the throes of orgasm.
    But looking up into his blue eyes, she didn’t want to disappoint him. For the first time, she actually cared about someone else’s feelings and didn’t know what to do about it.
    But as usual, he seemed to know her better than she did herself.
    “You aren’t ready,” he said softly, pressing a kiss to her forehead. “So I won’t.” He grabbed a condom off the nightstand and unbuttoned his pants. Then he gave her a grin and pinned her hands in one of his again. “But I am going to show you just how much I want you.”
    She nodded desperately, ready for him more than she’d ever thought she could be.
    He slid the condom over his thick, wide length as it sprang forward out of his pants. She licked her lips at the thought of it going inside her again. It would feel so perfect, so right. Just for this moment, she wouldn’t question anything about it.
    He paused for a
