Bearing the Frostbite (Ice Bear Shifters Book 6)
his weight so that he wasn’t crushing her lungs. She loved the cozy feeling of having his body on top of hers, sticky and sweaty in the aftermath of the best sex she had ever experienced. A smile spread across her face as she imagined spending a week with James in a warm cabin in Montana.
    This was going to be one hell of a vacation.

Chapter Eight
     
    One week later, James showed up to the Glacier Point Airport, not for work, but for his flight to Montana. He couldn’t keep a stupid grin off of his face as he made his way through airport security with Alexis right beside him. Even wearing a pair of black yoga pants and a gray hoodie, she was stunning.
    Everything about her was stunning. Her deep blue eyes looked heavenly against the smooth, dark olive skin of her face. Her hair hung in sleek waves around her shoulders, and he couldn’t look away from her sexy, curvy ass as she bent over to remove her shoes. He was the luckiest man alive.
    He thanked his lucky stars every day that her grandmother had given him her seal of approval before she passed away. Alexis had told James in great detail over the last few weeks how strongly her Grams beliefs had been about the dangers of shifters and humans mixing. But old age, and the desire to see her granddaughter happy, had softened Grams’ stance before she died. James wasn’t sure if Alexis would have considered a serious relationship with him if not for her grandmother’s change of heart. Alexis spoke so fondly of her grandmother, and he knew Alexis would be extremely reluctant to do anything that she thought might be dishonoring to Grams’ memory.
    Thankfully, James didn’t have to worry about that. As the days passed, he and Alexis grew closer, and he watched as she slowly healed from her grief and began to enjoy life again. He had tried to give her as much space as she needed. And despite how overwhelmingly sexy she was, he had been careful not to put pressure on her to do anything physically with him until she was ready. He wanted to be as respectful as possible of her as she navigated her way through a difficult time in her life. He’d figured she was worth the wait.
    And, man, had he ever been right about that one. When they had finally made love last week, he had been blown away. Her body was perfect. Voluptuous curves, smooth skin, and the nipples of a goddess. James shook his head. He had to stop thinking about it right now, unless he wanted to show off an erection to everyone in the security line.
    After sleeping with Alexis, James knew for sure that she was the one. Fate had somehow drawn them together, because they were meant for each other. They were lifemates. He had felt an unmistakable, magnetic warmth emanating through his body after he mated with her. He wasn’t sure if she had felt it too, or if her knowledge of shifters extended to the lifemate concept. But he knew with certainty himself that he would never be happy with any other woman again. Alexis was perfect for him, and he was going to spend this whole week of vacation showing her how special she was.
    And he could hardly wait to introduce her to the clan. The rest of the Northern Lights bears had been teasing him about his new love interest every time they saw him—which hadn’t been all that often lately, since he spent most of his free time at Alexis’ townhome. If this vacation went as planned, however, that would all change. His mission was to convince Alexis to move in with him when they returned. He knew moving right into the middle of a group of shifters would be a big step for Alexis, but he had a feeling she would be open to the idea. The more time they spent together, the more interested she seemed to be with learning everything she possibly could about shifters. James had a feeling that she would be able to fit right in with the clan, especially since there were already several human mates living with their bears in the cabins.
