as was she. She gripped his muscular shoulders, her nails digging into his skin, as the last ecstasy took her. Owen’s growl as he came was followed a second later by Raina’s cry as the most powerful orgasm she’d ever felt exploded within her. She writhed and screamed, not caring what she looked or sounded like. All that mattered was the ecstasy that engulfed her like the heat of the sun.
    Once again, Raina became aware of the world around her. She lay limp and languid, still trembling with the aftershocks of that intense orgasm. Owen was holding her tenderly, stroking her back and hair.
    “So…” Raina said at last. “You said that bears mate for life. Was that a proposal?”
    Owen looked abashed. “Dammit. I meant to get you a diamond engagement ring fit for a princess, go down on my knees, the whole nine yards— wait!”
    He scrambled up, fumbled in the pocket of his discarded jeans, and detached the smallest ring from his ring of keys. As Raina began to laugh, he knelt, cupped it in his hands, and said, “I’ll get you a better one later— along with the rest of the nine yards— but I’m not letting you leave these woods without something . I love you. You’re my princess, and you always will be. Raina Williams, will you marry me?”
    Raina’s amusement at the steel keychain ring, presented to her by a billionaire, faded as she saw the true love and commitment shining in Owen’s eyes. She slipped the steel ring on to her thumb, which was her only finger wide enough for it, and replied, “I will. And I wouldn’t care if a keychain was all you could afford. I want you , Owen, not the billionaire— the billionbear!”
    He laughed. “I hope you want Owen the billionaire and Owen the bear, too. But if you really like that ring, I could have it melted down and reforged, and set it with a diamond.”
    “Steel and diamond,” Raina said thoughtfully. “Strength and beauty. I like that.”
    Raina kissed Owen. She was completely happy, with his ring on her finger and his arms around her body. The fairytale was real. Owen was her Beast and her Prince Charming. But more than that, he was her mate.
    “Happily ever after,” she said.

    The cabin had to be perfect. Today was the day that the three girls from New York City were arriving and Connor was determined that the kayaking excursion wouldn’t get fucked up like last time.
    He slid his finger along the top of the shelf behind the desk and inspected his fingertip. No dust. The clubhouse was spotless. He smiled in relief and looked around with his hands on his hips. Connor had done a great
