Logan

It had been a long and dangerous day. My mind was on Grace. Her camping buddies were coming to my house, one of them a man. I didn’t know what he was to her, but it wasn’t just jealousy bothering me, I thought they were going to take her from me. That wasn’t something I could handle. She promised to stay and then we’d take a trip back to her home in a month when I had more time away. It was all she would agree to and it worried me. My feelings were fixed; I would never want another. That wasn’t something she seemed to return. A part of me thought it was okay because I’d been fucking her unprotected for two days.

I’d been so distracted that I nearly took my head clear off when they were transporting newly cut trees. Everyone was on me in a second to see if I was okay. Shaking off the momentary lapse of judgment, I went into my office and stayed there until there was a knock. It was the sheriff.

“Logan. I came from dropping off the Nolan family.”

“Grace is still at the house, right?”

“Yes, but…” His hesitancy wasn’t just in his words, his body language exhibited a level of fear.

“What is it?” I had to get myself under control. He was the sheriff and an elder.

“Jared Nolan wrapped his arm around her waist, trying to claim her.”

I snapped the pencil in my hand. “What did she do?”

“She moved out of his grasp and did all she could to be uninviting to him, but he had no hesitation implying they were closer than she let on.”

“He was talking out of his ass. I know that for sure. She’s only been with me.” I needed to clear the air. I didn’t want any one of the bear shifters to think I was weak.

He nodded. “Well, I dropped them off and told them they had to pack up and leave today.”

“She wasn’t going with them, was she?”

“Not today, but she implied that she was leaving at some point.” I was out of my chair, snatched the keys from my desk and marched straight out of the office and down to my truck, not even waiting for the sheriff to say good-bye. I had to see her. There was no way she was going to sneak out on me.

The drive home dragged on longer than I could ever have imagined.

As soon as I got through the doors, I could tell my parents were afraid. I wasn’t going to hurt her, not that they were thinking I would. They were afraid she’d leave me. I don’t know what I’d do if she did. “Good luck, son,” my father said as I rushed up the stairs. I could hear her on the phone with the friend. I slammed the door open the moment I heard her talk about leaving. This was her home and she needed to understand that what we shared was permanent. My heart was beating wildly as I thought of her in another man’s arms. One who was going to have them ripped off if he came by here again.

“Where do you think you’re going?” My voice was hard and deep.

“Um…Logan. I think I should go.” I shook my head at her.

“Do you remember what I said about us?”

“That this was for forever.”

“Yes, and what part of forever means that you leave me?”

“It’s not…well, I don’t feel welcome here.”

I couldn’t help but tilt my head, looking at her like she’d lost her mind. Wasn’t welcome here? This is where she belonged. I stalked closer, slowly reaching the foot of the bed. “How are you feeling, Grace? How’s the bruising?”

“Much better. Why?”

“Because I’m trying to decide if I should tie your ass down so you don’t leave me or fuck you until you can’t walk. Because there’s one thing that’s definite. You belong here and you belong with me.”

“I don’t want to leave, Logan.”

“Then what the fuck are you doing telling people you are? What the fuck is that little punk fucker to you? I know he hasn’t gotten your pussy, but from what I’m told he wants what’s mine.”

“Your parents told you? They want us to break up, don’t they? I could see the disappointment in their eyes earlier.” I let go of the breath I was holding. She mistook their attitude change. I took another step, pushing her suitcase to the floor, and boxed her in. Her ass plopped on the bed as she tried to create space between us. I leaned over her, grabbed her legs and wrapped them around my waist.

“You’re mine, Grace. My parents and the sheriff know that. The thought that someone came into my home and touched what was mine pisses me off and they knew it would. No one touches you, Grace. They got him out of here before I returned and tore him to pieces.”

“As big as you are I don’t doubt it, but I’ve never wanted him.”

“I know, but he tried to get you to leave with him. Then you were planning to leave me with him.”

“His family.”

“I don’t care, my sweet Grace. You’re mine and I swear if I have to take you to work with me I will.”

“You’re crazy,” she muttered and shook her head at me.

I cupped her jaw, caressing her soft skin. “For you I am and will stop at nothing to keep you here with me.”

“Forever?”

“Forever,” I promised, lowering my head and kissing her soft pink lips. Her hands wrapped around my shoulders and pulled me down onto the bed. I ground my hips against hers. Lifting her top off, I cupped one breast in my hand and engulfed the other in my mouth, biting her soft flesh.

“Ah,” she moaned, her hands tugging on my hair. I looked down at her and took in her fucking stunning beauty. She was the most perfect creature. Her pale skin had a rosy glow of desire and her blue eyes were full of emotion.

“I love you, Grace.”

She gasped, then pulled my mouth to hers, tightening her legs around me as she dominated the kiss in heated passion. Pulling away, I stared at her in wonder. She gazed right back with a brilliant smile and said, “I love you, Logan.” This time it was my turn to claim her kiss.

I broke the connection and stood as I undid my pants and yanked hers off with her panties. I needed us to be as close as possible. I sunk into her depths, buried completely inside her tight womb. Working my hips back and forth, I fucked everything I felt for her into each stroke.

“You’re going to marry me and stay here forever.” This wasn’t a question and didn’t require a reply because that was what it was, but she nodded in response. Growling, I bent down and sucked her breast into my mouth. Her back arched and her legs squeezed tighter around my waist. If she wasn’t carrying my cub she would be. I leaned over her, taking her hands in mine and lifted them above her head.

I reached between us and rubbed her clit. With a grunt, I ordered her to come. “Come for me, Grace. Show me that you’re mine.” Her pussy clenched around my cock squeezing it to the point of pleasurable pain as she came, taking me with her. My seed filled her, but I still had more to go. This wasn’t over yet. The thought of another man trying to take what was mine sent the beast inside on a tear. Once we came down, I carried her into the shower with my dick still hard and buried in her tight pussy.

“I’m going to wash his touch off your skin and fuck you so good you never want to leave.” So began round two.
