Ranger Drew (Shifter Nation: Werebears Of Acadia Book 4) by Meg Ripley (8)


****

 

The next few days were a blur.

The sand bags were set. The trenches had been dug. The water tanks and hoses were mounted and put into place. Everyone in the clan was aware of their assigned areas. One hundred people were needed to execute this plan, and it was a good thing that there were at least that many members in the clan.

It was Saturday night, and I was driving home after setting up the hoses. The following day would be the last day I had before everyone assumed their positions and the fire was supposed to strike. I had spent the entire day driving around Acadia, making sure everyone had completed their jobs and that each area was prepared. Thankfully, everyone had finished their tasks a day early, so I was able to double-check our work for good measure.

I felt confident and prepared. My plan was fool-proof; I couldn’t foresee any possible failures. Kathleen was still worried, but I kept reassuring her.

“Everything will be fine. Maybe you just need something to take your mind off it, huh?” I snickered, pulling into my driveway. She had been staying at my cabin all week to help with the setup, but we hadn’t really had much energy for sex. Lifting sand bags and digging trenches made for a hard day’s work, and by the time we had gotten home each day, we had passed out almost immediately upon reaching the bedroom.

Well, I had different plans that night.

“What I need is a shower.” Kathleen rolled her eyes at me, but I caught a playful smile spreading across her lips.

“What for? So I can get you all hot and sweaty again?” I asked, leaning toward the passenger seat, cupping her face. She parted her lips as I drew closer and I lightly kissed them, suckling her bottom lip. She kissed me back eagerly and, to my surprise, grabbed the firm bulge forming at the front of my pants.

“Race you to the door…” She whispered with a grin. Next thing I knew, we were both running full force toward the steps.

“That wasn’t fair; you had a head start because you thought of it. And you were kissing me! I was still in kissing mode. I needed at least ten seconds to switch to running mode,” I teased, catching my breath on the porch. She had beat me to the door, no surprise, but I had the key, so she had to wait for me to unlock the door. She just stood there grinning, hardly out of breath, bouncing up and down.

“Come on, slowpoke! Open the door!” she implored, and I chuckled. She seemed awfully excited and I wondered why. As I opened the door, she rushed inside, running up the stairs. I heard the shower start and laughed to myself.

“Beat you!” she yelled down to me and I heard the bathroom door close.

“I thought the race was only to the door!”

Cheater.

I thought about going in to join her, but I decided that I’d rather have a moment to relax and gather the strength I’d be needing in a few minutes; my body was exhausted. I walked over to the living room and plopped down on the couch, sinking into its softness—which was more than welcomed after the labor-intensive week I’d had.

I closed my eyes and let my thoughts drift. I was so happy that everything had fallen into place the way I had hoped. I only wished we had more of an idea about how the fire would start so I could better plan for it, but no matter what, I was certain my strategy would work, and Acadia would be saved. I was sure of it.

I felt delicate hands glide over my shoulders, massaging me as I slumped in gratification.

“Mmmm…That was a quick shower,” I murmured through my daze. Her hands were deliberate in their motions as they worked through my muscles, kneading out my tension. I sighed and fought to keep my eyes open. Her heavenly hands left my shoulders and I groaned.

I opened one eye to see her walking around the couch and she straddled me, completely naked.

“Well, what do we have here? What did I do to deserve this treat?” My eyes widened as I drank in her gorgeous curves. Her hourglass figure was perfect to me and her ginger hair was slightly damp, cascading down her chest and back, hiding her nipples from my view.

“You lost, which means I won. Which also means I get whatever I want for winning.” Kathleen smirked and ran her hands up and down the tired muscles of my arms.

“I don’t remember agreeing to that,” I teased with my eyebrow raised. It was a little hard to concentrate with her light touches brushing my skin and her naked warm body on my lap.

“Losers don’t have a choice,” she said, leaning in to kiss me. Her lips were soft and wet, just like the rest of her body, which I wrapped my arms around. Her bottom was slightly lifted, and I took advantage by cupping her cheeks and squeezing, making her moan against my lips. I pulled away slightly, just enough for our lips to separate, and we were both panting.

“Let me go shower first. I’ve been sweating all day and I probably smell terrible.”

“And you’re covered in dirt,” she giggled.

“Exactly. You got a chance to get cleaned up, so let me do the same. I’ll only be a couple of minutes,” I assured her.

“Nope. I’m not going to let you.”

“Why not?”

“Because I think it’s…kind of hot. I’ve been watching you all week. Your muscles rippling every time you picked up the shovel or a sand bag, you wiping the sweat from your forehead with that rag…I watched it all, and it got me so wet…I’m getting turned on just thinking about it.”

And I could tell. One sniff of the air and my bear was ravenous. He could smell her arousal, and I could read her face. She wanted me, badly.

“Maybe you should feel for yourself.” She took one of my hands and brought it to her folds, and that was all it took for my rod to fully engorge. It strained against my jeans once again as my fingers explored her dripping cave. She was most definitely ready, a moaning mess in my arms.

My two thick fingers slipped inside her easily, and I growled as her walls tightened around them. Throwing her head back, she began to grind against my hand, and I wrapped my free arm around her waist and pushed against her, ramming my fingers into her. I enjoyed how she held onto me, digging her nails into my shoulders as we found a steady, hard rhythm.

My cock was becoming increasing uncomfortable as it tried to force its way out of my jeans, and I couldn’t hold out any longer, releasing it from its prison, allowing it to bounce out at full attention. In one fell swoop, I slipped my fingers out and slid my length inside Kathleen, plunging straight in. She gripped me tightly and moaned with her lips right against my ear, the sound rippling through me, making my hair stand on end. She had the sexiest moans I had ever heard in my life.

I grabbed her hips and started slamming her down onto my throbbing shaft. She gripped the couch behind me as the sound of our bodies colliding together and the screams of my length reaching deep inside her echoed throughout the room. I could feel her moving with me, even though I controlled her hips. Her moans were getting louder, and a tingling sensation rose from deep within my core, reaching my head, my fingertips and my toes. It shot straight to my body, searching for release.

“Oh god, Drew!” Kathleen screamed my name in the sexiest way possible, her legs trembling on my lap, and I lost it. My seed erupted into her as her velvety walls tightened around me, milking my seed and stretching my orgasm until she finally slumped against me, her slight shivers still vibrating through her. My head fell back against the couch and hers nestled into my neck as we both tried to calm our heavy breathing. When I had finally caught my breath, Kathleen’s had become even and steady.

“Kathleen?”

She didn’t reply, and her breathing stayed the same.

She fell asleep, I chuckled to myself and tried my best to slide out of her without waking her. She groaned and whimpered as I pulled myself from her body, quickly placing my member back in my jeans and then wrapping her arms around my neck; I decided to bring her upstairs and place her in my bed while I went to shower.

When I started carrying her up the stairs, I heard her whisper something.

“Do you think…I’ll ever get to meet…your bear?”

“Only when you’re ready.” I smiled.

Once I had set her down to sleep and felt the water running down my skin, serious thoughts about Kathleen flooded my head.

If we survive these next two days, I need to convince her to stay with me a while longer…
