teenager, then the accident would never have happened.
However,
now he realized that was stupid. His brother loved bikes like Liam loved cars.
It wasn’t a bike or any lapse of judgment on Danny’s part that had cost him his
life. It had been the lack of common sense of the man who’d hit him. He’d been
the one breaking the law by getting behind the wheel of his car when he’d been
twice over the legal limit. He’d been put in prison, locked up behind bars but it
had been Liam who felt he’d been serving the sentence. The guilt, the loneliness,
and the waking up in the middle of the night asking himself if he could have
been a better brother.
It
was clearer now. Lucy had somehow made the sun shine again and she was
gradually turning his cold heart of stone into one that beat blood.
Liam
picked up speed, hurrying back to the edge of the wood where he could shift and
get back into his truck. Perfect time of the night for a run: No one around,
and the stars and moon shining overhead.
He
relaxed his body, slowly shifting back into his human form. He quickly dressed
and got into the car, starting the ignition and wondering what the other
shifters like Aiden, Christopher and Dane would think of him finally giving in
and having sex with a human. Having a relationship with one. Is that what he
and Lucy were heading toward?
Liam
put his foot on the gas, suddenly in a hurry to get back to that gorgeous woman
in his bed. He ran his hands through his hair. At some point he’d have to be
honest and tell Lucy what he really was. What they really were. He’d always
been guarded about their secret, going to meetings and berating the other guys
who’d taken human lovers and wives for putting them in danger. He had to follow
his own advice. He had to get to know Lucy a lot more before he revealed their
secret. After making such a fuss about it with the others, he wouldn’t be the
one to make them susceptible to outside threats. Liam Ahern wouldn’t be the
shifters’ downfall.
He
pulled in front of the garage and hurried out of the truck, hoping she hadn’t
fallen asleep because he wanted to make love with her again.
Lucy
was lying on her side under the covers of his bed. He stripped off and slid in
beside her. She was still naked but her body was warm. He snuggled up to it, wrapping
his arms around her and kissing her shoulder.
“How
was your run?”
“Perfect,”
he said.
“Don’t
you get scared running this time of the night? I mean, aren’t there lots of
wild animals about?” asked Lucy.
“Sure
there are, but most of them wouldn’t hurt you.”
At
least not when he was in his bear form.
“Yeah,
I guess they’re more scared of us then we are of them.”
“Exactly,”
he said pulling her in tight to his body. His cock beat against her butt
cheeks. He put his hand over her right breast and squeezed before running his
finger down her stomach, over her navel, and into the curls that he still found
fascinating.
Liam
found her clit and began massaging it.
“You
are a master at that,” said Lucy, shifting her body just a tad so he could have
more access.
“You
like it,” he whispered in her ear.
“I
do.”
He
took her earlobe between his lips and began playfully nipping on it as he
teased the swollen nub even more. Lucy’s legs kicked out, her feet fluttering
against his own.
Her
juices streamed over his knuckles, and the scent made him hungry for her,
desperate to be inside her once again. She cried out as he slid his finger
south of her clit and pushed it inside her channel. So hot and tight … he’d
have to take her soon.
“Excuse
me for just one minute––stay right here,” he said close to her ear.
He
flipped over, reached for the box of condoms and was all fingers and thumbs
getting the damn rubber out of the package. He threw the covers back and went
to work on sheathing himself. He really hated these things but Lucy was the
only human he knew worth the humiliation of having your
