Bear in a Billion: EXPOSED (#1) (8 page)

Another window was broken.

“We’re protecting the planet. Not destroying it,” A second long-haired protestor said.

“We’re making some noise,” a man in a black bandana said. Haley saw a spark light up the night. Then the guy lit up a Molotov cocktail. Haley had never seen one in person, but she knew what he was doing. The bottle had a long wick in it and it was filled with a clear fluid. Gasoline.

“No you don’t,” Ethan said, putting the camera down and grabbing the guy’s collar.

But the guy threw the flaming bottle before Ethan could stop him. Haley felt her heart leap as a shop window smashed and then burst into flame. More protestors dressed in black ran onto the scene. What was going on here? Who were these guys? They outnumbered the regular protestors two to one. It didn’t make any sense.

The crowd swarmed around them. It suddenly felt like there were people everywhere, crowding the main street. Haley could barely move. She briefly considered trying to interview some of the protesters, but then she heard sirens and a police megaphone.

“You are ordered to disperse at once. You must leave the area,” the amplified voice said.

Ethan looked to Haley. “We need to get out of here,” he said.

A man in a black bandana brushed past them with a baseball bat. He wound up to smash a shop window.

“Not on my watch,” Ethan said, pulling the bat from the man’s grasp.

“You with the weapon. Put it down,” the amplified voice said.

Was he talking about Ethan? In the next moment, something landed on the street behind them. A canister leaking gas. Tear gas. The crowd went crazy. Ethan practically swept Haley up into his arms and they ran. Everybody ran. Away from the gas. Some people grasped at their eyes, but Haley didn’t feel the gas’s sting. Not yet. What she felt was adrenaline, pure adrenaline coursing through her veins.

“Come on, stay close,” Ethan panted, as they ran with the crowd.

“Where are we going?”

“I have a place.”

“Stop! Get down on the ground!” the megaphone blared.

They kept running. They were on the beach now. There were others with them, regular protestors, not the ones in black. Ethan and Haley ran and ran. A helicopter’s searchlight played over the crowd. Then Haley heard an engine over the rotor wash. Like an ATV on the beach. She saw flashing red and blue lights.

“Here,” Ethan said.

They tore up a beach trail to a private home. It was a huge fancy beach house with all the trimmings. Pool. Walls of glass. The whole nine yards.

“Whose house?” Haley gasped.

“Just follow me.”

Ethan led the way through a wooden gate and around the back of the house. The lights were on inside. Haley’s heart felt like it was going to explode.

“Ethan, we can’t do this.”

“It’s okay. I know the guy.”

He rummaged around, finding a key under a flowerpot and opening the back door.

“Are you sure?”

The lights shone down from above. There was more screaming as people were rounded up.

“Yes.”

Haley followed Ethan inside.

**********************

Everything was calm inside the house. Quiet. Sophisticated. Haley didn’t realize how afraid she had been. She was thankful to be hidden inside. Thankful for the security of the four walls.

“We’ll be all right here,” Ethan said.

“Where are we, Ethan?”

And he led her down a long corridor into a familiar-looking room. The wide floor-to-ceiling windows, the leather sofas, the sleek modern fireplace.

“Oh my, gosh,” Haley said. “Is this…?”

“Yes.”

It was the shifter’s house. Haley recognized it from the video. Not only had the shifter done the interview in California, he had recorded it right here in Coop Cove. Right beneath her nose.

“What if the shifter comes back? You understand he can turn into a grizzly bear, right? An actual grizzly bear? You’ve heard the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears?”

“Don’t worry. We won’t eat his porridge.”

“Ethan! This is serious.”

“The text he sent said he got held up in the city. That’s why he didn’t show. He couldn’t make it back tonight.”

Haley glanced out onto the beach through the expansive windows. A helicopter hovered above, its spotlight shining down. Red and blue lights strobed. The protestors were being rounded up by the police. She turned to Ethan. He was close to her now. So close that she could feel the beat of his heart. She looked up into his clear blue eyes. She wanted to trust him. She needed to trust him.

“Are you sure?”

“Positive.”

And his lips found hers. Haley felt a surge of electricity rage through her body. She didn’t know if it was the circumstances or Ethan, but she couldn’t help herself. Her heart was still beating a mile a minute as she thrust her tongue into his mouth, exploring him, reaching out to him. He pulled her close and met her tongue with his. Dancing. Probing. She felt the firmness of his cock pressing into her belly and she immediately wanted more. She already knew how well his hard body fit her curves and she wanted to feel every inch of it press into them.
 

Ethan swirled his tongue against hers, her nipples hardening into taut buds as he pressed against her. He slid his hands over her ample hips and under her ass. Haley felt herself grinding into him as he did, rubbing her clit against him even though they were still fully clothed.

“Take it easy, honey, we’ve got all night.”

“In his house.”

“There’s no way he’s coming back.”

And he swept her up into his arms. Haley loved it when he did that. It was like he was saving her all over again. Only there was more than oxygen at the end of this road. He lowered his head, kissing her deeply, and Haley closed her eyes, once again lost in the undulating sensation of his never-ending kiss. She felt her pussy tingle with excitement as Ethan’s strong hand reached out from under her to open a door. The next thing she knew Ethan had laid her down on a pillow-soft bed.

Haley opened her eyes to see that she was in a bedroom. Recessed lighting revealed richly paneled walls and what looked like a bathroom en suite off in the corner. Ethan pulled off his shirt, his hard body standing proud in the dim light.

“Are you sure he’s gone for the night?” she said.

“Relax, baby. He’s let me stay here before. It’s no big deal.”

“That’s what Goldilocks thought.”

And even though Haley wasn’t a hundred percent confident that the shifter wouldn’t return, she put her faith in Ethan. The moment had progressed too far for her to fight what she was feeling any longer. She opened herself up to him, spreading herself wide.

Chapter Six

Haley’s legs dangled over the side of the bed as she eagerly awaited Ethan’s touch. He ran his smooth palms up her hips and over her belly folds, caressing each of them in turn until his strong hands reached her breasts. Her nipples tightened even more as he ran his fingers up over them. He removed her T-shirt and sunk his face between her breasts.

He had light stubble now, blonde so that you couldn’t see it on his face, but she could feel it on her skin. The friction was delicious. She hoped and prayed he would find her waiting nipple. She didn’t even need to coax him. His chest between her thighs, he reached for her hands, interlacing his fingers with hers. Then he smothered her nipple in sweet kisses, swirling around it with his tongue. Haley felt the tingle between her legs grow to a spark. She pressed her mound against him, tiny jolts of pleasure welling up within her.

“I’m going to take you all the way this time, baby,” Ethan said.

“You took me all the way last time.”

“I’m going to take you farther,” he growled.

And she felt his lips embrace her hard pink bud, sucking it back into his mouth. An electric jolt of pleasure shot out from her core.

“Ohh, Ethan,” Haley moaned, rubbing her clit against his washboard abs.

She arched her back as he slid his hand down her back and over the waistline of her jean shorts. Already she could feel his fingers circumscribing her belly, moving to the brass button at the front. He popped the button and the zipper opened of its own accord. Her shaven mound called out to him, her entrance wet with desire. Ethan snuck his fingers under her white cotton panties and between her moist folds. Just the feel of it there, just knowing how much more of him there was, made her pussy ache for more.

He ran his smooth digits up the length of her crease and then hooked onto the waistband of her panties with two fingers ripping both panties and shorts down. She squirmed as he laid her bare, her slick sex beckoning him. Lord, she couldn’t even stay still having him on top of her like this. She had to move, had to squirm to quell the electric pulse she felt vibrating her core. Then Ethan stuck his thumb squarely on her clit and an electric jolt shot out of her. She felt like she was going to come as his tongue left her left breast and swirled around the aureola of her right, tugging back the hard nipple with his soft lips.

“Fuck me, Ethan.”

“I’m going to make love to you, baby. I’m going to take you and make love to you until you beg me for more. I’m going to lick your folds, and your nipples, and your honeydew of a pussy until you can’t help but scream my name. And then, just when you think you can’t take it anymore, I’m going to do it again.”

He dropped kisses down her soft body.

“And again.”

He continued to kiss and lick her way down her folds.

“And again.”

He reached her belly button and took hold of her thighs, draping a leg over either shoulder.

“And again.”

Haley felt her sex thrill with every tingle of his breath, and then he plunged forward, thrusting his tongue inside of her. Oh, surfer man. He was back. It hadn’t been long, but it still felt like forever since he had blessed her sweet pussy with his lips. Ethan was honest and true. Haley had known she could trust him from the moment he had saved her from drowning. He hadn’t wanted anything from her, he hadn’t even known who she was. All he knew was that she was in distress, nothing more, and he had risked his life to save hers. That kind of integrity you just couldn’t buy. Just being with him felt good.

So did the lick all the way up her pussy.

“Oh, Ethan.”

She ground into his face, spreading her pussy lips wide for him. He circled her clit with his tongue, and already she could tell that her sensitive flesh was engorged. Lord, how she wanted him to suck it back, to make it his. His tongue backtracked down her folds again, and she rocked her hips up, running her hands through his shaggy hair. Men like this didn’t come along every day. Men like this didn’t come along ever.

She pulsed with desire as she drove her pussy toward him. She couldn’t help herself. She wanted more. She wanted his tongue all the way inside of her. And more than that, she wanted his cock. Lord, how she wanted his cock. He grabbed her ass cheeks firmly and splayed her legs wider, licking all the way back up her dripping honeypot.

Fuck me, already. Fuck me with your dick.

When he reached her clit, she thought he would sail back down her slippery crease again, but he didn’t. He lingered. He took the little berry of flesh between his lips, tugging it back.

Hello
.

Spasms of pleasure shot out. He couldn’t keep doing that. If he kept doing that, she was going to come right away. She didn’t want to come. Not yet. Not while he still had his pants on. He shoved his face more firmly into her crease and swirled his tongue around her nubbin. His lips parted and he tugged back on the sensitive flesh again and this time it felt like he was consuming her whole pussy, eating it raw.
 

The lid broke on the honeypot.

Her pussy spasmed as pure liquid pleasure poured free from her core.

“Ethan!”

“I’m going to keep fucking you with my tongue, baby,” he growled.

“Fuck me with your cock,” she moaned.

He continued to swirl around her nubbin, the wave of pleasure coursing through her veins. The orgasm went on and on, liquefying everything in its path. Haley looked at the ceiling, but she didn’t see the ceiling. She saw starbursts, one after another as her orgasm washed over her. She could feel her sweet essence coating her slippery channel, coating his tongue, and she wanted more. Haley raised her tired arms and reached down between her legs, lifting Ethan’s head.

“Fuck me, Ethan. Fuck me like your life depends on it.”

“Whatever you need, baby.”

And Ethan stood, pulling his board shorts down. Haley caught her breath as the last waves of her orgasm broke on her farthest shores. She propped herself up on her arms to watch as he rolled an extra-large condom down over his extra-large dick. In a way, Haley was amazed they even made condoms that big—Ethan was so much bigger than any regular man. Just the sight of his towering rigidity brought the tingles back. She wanted him inside of her.

Now.

Right now.

Ethan shuffled forward and took both her thighs in hand, licking a long line up her pussy.
