Santa Paws: BBW Holiday Bear Shifter Romance (Christmas Bear Brothers Book 1)
away from him. Vicky tightened her grip around his waist, her clit pressing against his body, her lips planting kisses along his neck.
    In and out, he pulled back and then thrust into her; his earlier fatigue vanishing as he took her hard and fast. Was he reclaiming her, after losing to Hans? He needed to prove himself, but not to her. The fact that Dermot had been beaten didn’t worry her; she knew he had been doing what he had to, to help them on their journey.
    “I know you lost for me,” she said into his ear.
    “I did what I had to do,” he ground out, and then he lowered his head, sucking in her nipple, rolling his tongue over it. The sensations coursed through her body, the messages between her sex and her breasts connecting until her orgasm crashed into her.
    She cried out into the Arctic air, telling the world she was here, with her mate, a man who had brought her across the snow so she could be who she was meant to be on Christmas Eve. And as he came, filling her with his essence, filling her with the potential of a child, here under the magical aurora, she at last caught sight of her Christmas spirit.
    Maybe this was how things were supposed to be; this journey was one the two of them had to travel on. As he finished, grinding out his climax, she was ready to find out what fate had in store for them at the end of their destination.

Chapter Fifteen – Dermot
    “Ready?” he asked as she finished putting all her layers of clothing back on. It was a pity, he had enjoyed seeing her naked in the snow. At least as much as he could see her in this light. “Does it ever get light here?” he asked.
    “Not this time of year. The aurora is the only light we’ll see.” She finished doing up the buttons of her coat, and then said, “I’m ready.”
    He stood still, allowing his bear to come to him, and then he slipped from this world to return in the form of his bear. Vicky did the same, and he stood transfixed in wonder when the beautiful reindeer, his mate, stood before him in the snow. Her feet were made for this terrain, and he only hoped his lumbering bear would be able to match her pace as she leaped off into the Arctic snow.
    Magical. That was the only way to describe what he experienced as they trekked across the snow. On and on, an endless sea of white. He was only thankful that it didn’t snow; he would hate to lose her in a blizzard after they had come all this way.
    As they trekked in silence, he occasionally pressed his bear against her, reassuring her he was there. Or maybe the reassurance was for him. She was his guide, with an innate knowledge of which direction they were supposed to take; she was leading him towards their destination.
    His mind began to wonder, his thoughts filled with family. By this time next year, he hoped to have a child, for Vicky to give him a small cub so they could hang up a Christmas stocking and wait for Vicky to come with Santa to fill it with gifts, just as their child would fill their lives with love and happiness.
    Perhaps his brothers would have children too. He was sure both of them had found their mates and would be spending this Christmas as happily as he was. OK, maybe they wouldn’t be out here on the Arctic tundra.
    Ahead of him, Vicky increased her pace. They were near their destination; he could sense her excitement and anticipation, and he let go of thoughts of home. As he turned his attention back to his reindeer mate, he wished his brothers well and hoped they were as happy at this moment as he was.
    It might be freezing cold and dark as night, but he was with the most important person in his world.
    And he was about to meet Santa.

Chapter Sixteen – Vicky
    It appeared from amongst the snow and ice: a sleigh, with seven reindeer all harnessed up, stamping the ground in anticipation. She ran faster and then slowed, once more unsure she could do this, unsure she had it in her to lift herself up into the dark night, to fly across the moon with Santa and
