Page 50 of His Determined Bear

When I had caught my breath, I rolled over to him and ran my fingers down his bare chest and happy trail. I needed to return the favor this morning because, by my count, this was the second time he’d blown me without anything in return. My selfless mate needed to be pleasured, so I went to work putting my mouth to good use on the most handsome man I’d ever seen.

It didn’t take long for Graham to reach his peak and join me in the blissful haze that comes after mutual orgasms. We lay in what was now our bed and relaxed in the comfort of one hundred percent Egyptian cotton sheets.

“I could get used to this,”I sighed, leaning against Graham’s chest in my bed.

Graham chuckled and kissed my neck where my shoulder met, “I hope so.”

“I want this. I really do,” I finally admitted out loud. “But it feels like we are doing everything backward. Baby first, relationship second.”

Graham shrugged like none of it mattered, “As long as it’s with you, I don’t care about the order that we do things.”

I shook my head and buried my face in his chest, “Why do you say things like that?”

“Because it’s true,” Graham replied simply. “It doesn’t matter where we live or what order things happen. I’ll be wherever you and our baby are. It's that simple.”

I sat up because I felt like he was making this sound easier than it was. I turned so that I could see his face and sighed. Damn it, he was a beautiful man. “You have your whole life and your family and several businesses in Asheville that you can’t just pick up and leave. And sure, I can travel for my work, but LA is where I do most of it. I can’t just uproot my life immediately like mom did.”

“Why don’t we take it one step at a time,” Graham said. “Like you said, we did everything backward, so let’s just be us together, and everything else will fall into place.”

The part of my brain that liked certainty rebelled against the suggestion.

“I kind of hate you for all this zen-ness you seem to be having,” I sighed, leaning back into his chest.

He chuckled and lifted me, so I was straddling him. “Sex won’t solve this,” I told him, but I could already feel my body reacting to the position.

“Get your mind out of the gutter,” Graham said teasingly, “I just wanted to see those beautiful eyes.”Uh-huh, right. I was as revved up again as earlier, but I wasn't ready to let him off the hook just yet.

I blushed at the compliment and ducked my head, “Changing the subject and flattery won’t help either.”

“Is it flattery when it’s the truth?” Graham said simply, and I groaned, putting my head on his shoulder. “Stop it. Stop being so perfect. It just makes this harder when I know you have to go home soon…” my voice caught because I really didn’t want to think about that.

“I’m sorry I ran from you. I only did it because I really liked you, and it freaked me out when I figured out I could be pregnant, and then I was….” My words were muffled by his chest, but I knew he could hear me.

“I get it. You just needed to process all of this. But just so you know, if you panic and want to run again, I’ll be right behind you. Because you’re stuck with me.”

“Promise?” I whispered.

“I swear to you, Cooper, I won’t leave. I won’t bail no matter what happens. I’m here in this life with you, and even when I’m not physically right here next to you, I’ll only be a phone call away. And if you need me to, I can be here in four hours.” Graham sighed, and I realized this was hard for him too. He was being brave for me.

“Okay, I can live with that. Enough of the moping. You’re here right now,” I said.

Graham nodded, “I am.”

My stomach rumbled, and he chuckled, “How about we start with breakfast and see where the day takes us.”

“Baby and I approve,” I said before leaning down to steal a kiss. Graham’s body responded to my touch immediately, and I ground against his hard cock, my hole already leaking at just the thought of feeling his thick length inside me again. But then my stomach growled loudly. And I sighed, my forehead against his chest. I yelped when he stood up with me in his arms like I weighed nothing. “Food first. Then you can be my dessert.”

“Fine, but after we eat, I want to shower with you and take care of you properly, like a good mate should,” I teased.

Graham growled at my innuendo and carried me off to the kitchen, where he proceeded to make us breakfast.

I was happy to say I’d never had so much fun with maple syrup than I’d had this morning, licking it off Graham’s body. It all started with a plate of pancakes that I ended up feeding to Graham as I straddled his lap. We sat face to face at the table as I fed my man his breakfast. When the syrup from the pancakes dripped down his chin, I took that opportunity to lick him clean.

Somehow, and I’m not really sure how, more syrup ended up on his chest, giving me ample opportunity to worship his body in my kitchen as he’s worshiped mine in his. Running my tongue over his stiff nipples, I could feel his cock thicken deliciously between my legs as he writhed in his lap.

It didn’t take too much more attention to his body for Graham to reach down and tear my thin briefs from my body. He then proceeded to lift me up as my hole dripped onto his cock. Sliding me down on his shaft once again, he impaled me on his pulsing dick while he kissed me, the taste of maple syrup still on our tongues.

“Uhhhhh, “ I groaned as he bounced me on his cock. “I’m gonna come.”
