Page 18 of The BEARly Controlled Grizzly (Bear Clan 1)

I placed a hand on her belly and grinned as I watched her eyes widen. She glanced down at where my hand was.

“What?” she said softly.

I nodded my answer. “Another little grizzly shifter.” I grinned. Fuck, I was happy. I would be content to have this woman barefoot and pregnant, having a whole little clan of cubs running around.

“Are you happy?” I asked, wanting to hear her say it, my bear needing it as much as my human side did.

She turned in my arms so she could see me fully, cupped the side of my face, and leaned in close. “More than you’ll ever know,” she whispered against my lips.

The children started making disgusted sounds, as if seeing their parents show affection was just too much of a bother.

I grinned like a fool.

One day they’d find their mates and know exactly what it was like to be complete. Until then I’d protect and care for all four of them, my children and my mate … my whole fucking world.

Because without them there was no forever.

The End

SAY YOU WANT IT

Piper

It was supposed to be a summer job, something to help me transition from graduating high school to starting college. But to me, this wasn’t just some office cleaning position.

I’d be working for Zane, the one man I’d loved for longer than I even wanted to admit.

The one person who could make me weak in the knees with just a glance.

My father’s friend who was far too old for me, but sexier than sin.

Zane

I hired Piper to keep her close, to help appease my need for her. But I played it off like I was helping her earn some money before starting college.

I was too old for her.
