“What does it feel like?” I ask as he takes another step towards me.

“Like a burn, a yearning. Like we have to have each other. Like you’re insatiable,” he says, his voice low and gravely.

I nod. I feel all of those things.

“I want you,” I whisper, my body feeling heavier and needy as he closes the distance between us.

“I need you, mate,” he whispers, and I nod.

His hands cup my face, and I look up at him.

“Your eyes are glowing,” I whisper, and he nods.

“It’s my bear.”

“Can I see him?” I ask, and he nods.

“He’s been dying to meet you too.”

He takes a step back and I watch with wide eyes as he starts to pull the towel off. I can feel my face heating with a blush and I stare down at my feet as he lets the damp towel drop to the floor.

“You want to watch?” Ash asks me, and I swallow hard before I look up at him.

He’s naked and glorious as he stands before me. His eyes flash, and I swallow hard.

Then, right before my eyes, he starts to change.

His hair grows, and I gasp as his features change, elongating, growing, stretching. He lands on all fours in front of me, his back legs pushing the bed all of the way back to the far wall and I gasp, backing up until my back hits the wall behind me.

His polar bear is huge, much bigger than I was expecting. His fur is so white and I take a deep breath as he inches forward a bit.

I raise my hand, and he bumps his nose against my palm. The action makes me smile and I start to relax and grow more comfortable with being around his polar bear.

“You’re a lot bigger than I was expecting.”

He pushes his head into my hand and I smile.

“And your fur is softer,” I add.

I move to stand alongside him and run my hand along his side. Standing on all fours, I can just barely see over his back. I know that if he was on two legs, he would tower over my small frame.

“This is so cool,” I breathe.

I step on the damp towel, and when I look down at it, lust slams into me. The polar bear growls, and I jerk my eyes over to him in time to see Ash shift back to his human form.

“Whoa,” I gasp, and he reaches out before I can trip over the towel.

He pulls me into his arms, and I rest my hands on his chest, feeling his heart beating like crazy under my palms.

“Mate,” he whispers, and that one word feels like it goes straight to my clit.

“I need you,” I whisper back, and he nods.

Then his mouth is on mine.

I blink. All I can think is that this is my first kiss.

Then his tongue is slipping into my mouth and I stop thinking and just start feeling.
