Read Online A Bride for the Bear (Bear Creek Clan 6) by Harmony Raines - Free Book Online Page A

ask a woman like this to live with him in a place like that? Not until it was finished, and he couldn’t afford to finish it. Yet the thought of not having her with him every night for the rest of his life was too hard to contemplate.
    Especially when she made him feel as if he had gone to heaven with an angel riding his cock. As his climax hit him, he leaned forward, pushing her clothes aside, tearing them, he feared, in his need to use his mouth on her breasts. He wanted to suck her nipples, to feel her reaction to his mouth while he was buried deep inside her.
    She gasped, her sex clamping tighter around him, before the first spasm of her orgasm took her. Pulsing and throbbing, his cock emptied itself inside her, her body drawing it into her womb to make their child. A child he would need to support.
    Alli reached her climax; she leaned forward and kissed him, her lips so sweet on his. He reached up and fisted her hair, drawing her to him, his breath ragged as he tried to calm his bear. The animal side of him wanted to pick her up and carry her into the wild where the ways of a human society didn’t matter. His bear could protect her, feed her, and bend her to his will. But Kian wasn’t all bear.
    “I will make a good life for us, Alli,” he promised.
    “You already have, Kian. You have showed me what love is,” she said, kissing him again.
    “No. I mean it. I will provide for us.”
    “I know you will. But we are a partnership. Which means you have to accept I want to help. I was lucky, my aunt left me Bear Brides, and so I have managed to save a lot of money. Money that we could use to finish your house.”
    “I can’t take it, Alli,” he said firmly.
    She pressed her body against his, and he felt himself hardening again. At this rate, he would be crawling on the floor like a dog agreeing to whatever she said. But he couldn’t push her away; she was right, they were a partnership, and she seemed to understand him completely.
    “Can’t or won’t?” she asked.
    “I’m supposed to be the provider.”
    “This is the twenty-first century. Don’t say you expect me to give up work and play the housewife like Graham did.”
    “Never. But putting food on the table and a roof over your head is my responsibility.”
    She laughed. “I can see we are going to have to agree to disagree.” She moved her hips, feeling him hardening again. When he was buried deep inside her again, she added, “Until I can change your mind.”
     

Chapter Fifteen – Alli
    Alli never usually got flustered, but the last two days had been a shock to her normally calm constitution. How exactly did you cope with having the hunkiest guy on the planet as your boyfriend, a boyfriend who she knew would soon be her husband, and who was also a bear? Not your everyday situation by any means, and for Alli, who had spent her time in Bear Creek with her head down working all the hours she could, the issue of finding time for Kian was a pressing one.
    Luckily, his work on the farmhouse plus a couple of paid jobs he had picked up, kept him busy. It seemed news that he was Alli’s mate had got round Bear Creek fast. In turn, this meant Alli, Kian, and Melanie had instantly been accepted into the Bear Creek secret-shifter community. Although, even that secret was not as small as she thought. Her shop was filled with a steady stream of well-wishers, all of whom knew the secret. Where had her head been for the years she had lived here? It was so obvious now she knew, as any good secret worth knowing usually was.
    She was just returning from taking Drew’s dress over to her house, ready for the big day tomorrow. It had been neatly pressed and the bride was delighted, whereas her dad just collapsed in tears. It was going to be an emotional day, one that she was looking forward to, especially since an invitation had been extended to Kian and Melanie. The shop would be closed, so she could spend the whole day with her man. Her mate . She still got a
