Fell picked me up from the floor and set me on the dining table, my legs instantly wrapped around his waist. In the distance the moon came up behind us, I hadn’t realized that much time had passed. It was winter, though, the sun set quickly as the moon chased it from the sky.

His hands pushed up the thick sweater I wore and pulled me closer to his hips to rub against the most sensitive place I had.

“You still want me, don’t you, Sasha?” He asked, his voice betrayed his fear when it shook on my name.

“I still want you, Fell. I need your touch, your love, your face, the way you make me feel, all of you. I still want and need every single part of you and who you are, bear or human.”

“That’s cool.” He said with a jaunty smile and that made me gave a hint of a laugh at his humor.

“I’m never going to leave you baby, not like that. I plan on being right here with you, for the rest of my life. It might be fast, but if we’re mates, and I’m going to start popping into bear mode at random times, it’s not like I can leave anyway, is it?” It was my turn to make us smile

“That’s all I needed to hear, Sasha. I needed to know that you wanted to be a part of my life. I didn’t want you to be on your own but I’d have let you go if that’s what you’d wanted. It would have killed us both eventually, but that would have been our choice, right?”

“I suppose you’re right. I’m just glad you waited for me.” I brushed my hand along his beard, pleased with how silky it was. Like his bear fur. Maybe he used conditioner on this too. I’d ask later.

“I didn’t know if I’d ever meet my mate, I didn’t expect to. Not after that massacre. I’ve not been a saint, I never have been, but you’re here now and you’re everything I could have asked for in a mate. And you have great tits.” His lips found mine once more and I felt his smile against mine. We were done with words now. I knew his secrets and he knew mine.

“Make me yours again, Fell. I need you so much it hurts.” I urged him with my words and my hands. I tore at the button of his jeans and he gave a low sound of satisfaction. The button resisted my will though, and he pulled my hands away.

“My eager little cub.” He plucked the sweater from me and threw it away.

I wore a white cotton camisole beneath my sweater and its thinness did little to mask Fell’s touch on my body. I might as well have been bare, because it felt like I had nothing between my skin and his as he teased my nipples to hard points. Fell’s lips were on my neck, sucking at the spot he’d discovered the night before and instantly my hips started to move.

His fingers traced down to my jeans, pushed them away and off of me until he found my pussy.

“How did I know I’d find you hot and wet for me already?” I didn’t have to look up to know he wore a smirk. “You’re so ready for me, Sasha. I’m going to fuck you right here, claim you right here on our table where anybody that walks by can see it if they care to look.”

“Oh that is naughty.” I gave him a wicked wink and moved my hands to his jeans. I could see how hard he was beneath the faded denim. It must hurt. I had to set him free and ease that pain, didn’t I? The button resisted me again but then it finally opened and his cock was free, hot and silky smooth.

The smooth stroke of my hand teased his cock for a moment. I hadn’t learned him all that well yet, but I have to say, the size of him impressed me. We moved together and my thighs fell open so he could enter me easily.

I looked up into his crystal clear eyes, and my own narrowed. I felt the very tip of him as it edged between my folds. My lips parted, but I didn’t know what I wanted to say. Fuck me, make me scream your name? I wanted to say all of it, but I wanted to say love me, more than any of it.

“Mine.” He said quietly, and then he was inside of me.

Every thick inch of him.

“Fell.” I moaned as he pulled out before he thrust back into me once more.

Fell, thick and long, plunged into me over and over as he all but nailed me to the table. My legs wound around his waist to keep him close and my breasts were pressed to his chest as he fucked into me. I didn’t want to lean back, I wanted to feel all of him as he took me to our world.

I looked down to the place where we were joined to see him slide into me over and over. It entranced me until he lifted my face. I lifted my eyes to his and smiled. He returned my playful smile with a wink.

“I think you can give me more. If you bend me over the table.” I murmured to Fell.

His eyes turned dark, an intense storm lived within his eyes now.

“I’ll be getting to that next.” He said with a smirk and another wink.

I raised an eyebrow but said nothing more as his lips came to mine. I inhaled his scent as our mouths fused together. Spice and the smell of pine branches that brushed against his beard. The smell of my man, the only man I’d ever need again. He was mine, now and forever. His tongue mingled with mine, his fingers went down to my clit as he started his pace once more.

I cried out his name, my voice thick with my pleasure. I was unable to hold back my cries of delight as my shifter teased me. There was something sensual about knowing that my man wasn’t an ordinary man. Far from it, he was quite extraordinary.

I wanted to turn inside out I felt so full of love and pleasure and I even managed not to scream when my orgasm started. Of course, Fell’s lips swallowed most of the sound, his tongue a slick stroke against mine as he continued to massage my pussy from the inside. He gritted his teeth through my orgasm, held himself back, until I finished. He wanted me to have a moment to myself, I sensed it, so I let it flow through me with glee.

He picked me up, our bodies still joined, once I’d stopped, and carried me to the bed. I slid onto the bed, ready for whatever he wanted to give me next.

Fell knelt over me, his hands going to my nipples as his lips came down on mine.

Fell and I worked together, ramped up the desire we both felt, and used our fingers and tongues on each other with abandon.

By the time Fell moved behind me I was bent over, and my moans had turned to almost sobs of need as his fingers dived into me.

“I’m going to fuck you until you don’t want anything else but to have me always be inside of you, Sasha. You’ll never stop wanting to be fucked.”

His fingers teased a stripe of awareness down my back that echoed somewhere deep inside of me, but only for a moment before he slid into me. He groaned and I wanted to tease him, I wanted to pull away and explore every inch of him, but I knew he needed this, he needed to empty himself into me. I felt his desperation in my own soul

I decided I wasn’t going to tease him too much.

He slid gently inside of me, a slow rhythm that had him moving softly against me.

His warm body was its own pleasure but then he started to go faster, deeper, until he pushed my face into the bed, his hands grasped at my waist. I couldn’t keep up, I didn’t want to, I only wanted to feel as each thrust stroked me further into a heaven only he could give me. When I came, a hard orgasm that I could feel as a wave that traveled up my abdomen and then my breasts, Fell followed. His fingers clamped into my hips and held me still as he emptied himself into me. It didn’t stop the pleasure he gave me, that just went on.

I felt a pulse run through his cock, deep inside of me, and knew he was coming hard and deep. An agonized groan of pleasure tore from his throat and that set me off like a rocket.

It just made me hot for some reason, knowing that I’d got him off. I joined him in that heavenly place of black with silver stars one last time, for the moment. I knew there’d be more to come, much more.

“Later. We have to do this again later, I’m going to lie here and die for right now.” I said as Fell pulled away from me and eased my hips out so I would be flat on the bed.

“My poor baby girl, her pussy is hungry but her body begs for mercy.” His lips came to mine and I kissed him with an exhausted smile.

He slumped down beside me, his hand on my ass possessively. I kind of liked that, even if I was normally an independent kind of girl. I’d learned to be after my parents died and Jim left me to deal with their deaths alone. And the rest of it. I hadn’t needed a man to help me escape, I’d just needed one to fuck up, and Jim had.

“You kept me alive, Fell. Thank you.”

“You weren’t doing too well when we got you. I think you’d have found a way to survive though. Nothing was going to stop you from getting away from your brother.”

“No, you might be right. I wasn’t about to let him win. What will happen when he’s found?” I wasn’t afraid for him, just curious.

“He’ll probably become gator food. We have them here, we even have swamps, in the lowlands. That’s likely where he’ll end up.”

“I can’t say I’m sorry to hear that.”

“No, I didn’t think you would be. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have told you.”

“You know me so well.” I rolled over and propped my head up on my hand to look at him.

“Experience, baby girl, that’s all. I know how I’d have liked to be treated after my own little tragedy. And you’re not a wimp, you want the truth, in all things. That’s not hard to deal with.”

“Maybe. Do you think you’ll ever want to go back down the mountain?”

“No. I have you know. I won’t be up here hiding away from the world because I feel like I deserve to be shunned. I know I deserve my seclusion now, because every moment I am up here will be with you.”

“God, I love how you talk to me.”

“Good, because I think I love you.” He grinned and his eyes closed. We were both tired.

“I think I love you too, Fell.” I pecked a kiss on his nose and left the bed. I had a shower and then I took a chair and sat in front of Fell’s windows. My windows now.

Out there, the world was hidden away underneath snow still. My brother was out there somewhere, but I wouldn’t have to deal with him. That bastard could rot for all I cared. After what I’d been through, I couldn’t feel even a pang of pity for him. He’d wanted to hurt me and he’d succeeded in many ways. Ways I didn’t want to think about, but I knew I had to. I couldn’t bury the memories or they’d bury me.

I had Fell now and he’d help me through it all, the same as I’d help him cope with his own past. He was a man burdened by guilt, but now he had a reason to live. A reason to smile that beautiful smile. It took my breath away when he smiled.

I kept up my vigil for a little while longer, and then I moved to the kitchen. I’d make a light supper for us, and then we’d talk. We had a lot to talk about; our future, what we wanted, what we’d do. Who all those people below were. What exactly happened in that club was another one I wanted answers to.

I’d seen some of the outfits Sabina came up here in. They weren’t just serving drinks and shooting pool in that place. I wanted to see it, wanted to see why exactly she wore such tight leather tops and skin tight pants. I had a feeling there was a lot more than drinking going on down there, and the only person I wanted to explore it with was Fell.

A new song came to me then, as I stared out at the mountain covered in snow and the lights of houses that gleamed far away. A song about love, devotion, and how a moment can change it all. I ran to find a pen and paper and jotted it down.

I no longer wanted that record deal, or the fame and fortune, just my mountain bear and the life we could have together. I still wanted to write music and sing, but that other life was behind me now. I had Fell and that was all I was ever going to need now. The love of a man that saved my life, but only after I’d saved my own. And maybe another romp in bed or a million. I laughed and put the paper down. I had a beautiful life ahead of me, and so did Fell. I wouldn’t let it be anything else but that.
