Lock

I’m carrying a tray of hot chocolates through the front door, when I pause and take in the incredible vision that greets my eyes.

Zoe is in the yard with the kids, helping them make a snowman. Her cheeks are glowing and she looks prettier than ever. Being outdoors sure suits her.

Turns out the kids have never made a snowman before, and when Zoe heard that, she looked real sad, then she promised she’d help them make the best one ever.

It’s not easy because fights keep breaking out between the kids. They’ve just never learned how to share, Zoe told me. They all wanted to build their own individual snowman, but she encouraged them to work together instead. Now Mari has agreed to let Todd sit on her shoulders so he can reach up higher. That’s real progress.

I can’t believe how good Zoe is with them, so sensitive to their needs. She’s gonna be the best mom in the world.

I can’t wait to make her pregnant. Fill her belly with my young, and experience every part of it—from seeing our little cub for the first time, to watching it grow up, day by day.

Just as soon as I impregnate her.

My cock springs to attention again.

She’s mine now.

I told her about my bear, and she didn’t freak out. No, she let me kiss her again. Touch her pussy. I knew she wanted me, but I didn’t reallybelieveit until I felt how wet she was. Felt her tight little entrance spasming around my fingertip.

How am I gonna control myself now?

My bear is in a panic. It’s worried some other beast is gonna find her and try to claim her. I know where it’s coming from. There’s not a beast out there who wouldn’t want to make Zoe his. But there’s no way I’m letting any of them come within a mile of her. Still, it won’t be calm until I sink my cock into her tiny virgin pussy and give her my mark.

Zoe turns her head. Is she looking for me?

She is.

When she catches sight of me, she gives me a smile so beautiful, my chest aches.

Three little sets of nostrils are already snuffling eagerly as I bring the tray over.

“Hot chocolate!” Mari exclaims.

I hand over the mugs. I like making the kids happy, but Zoe’s sound of pleasure when she buries her face in a huge mug is pure bliss.

“Delicious,” she says, and my heart soars.

“Hey, you’ve got—” I reach out to brush a fleck of foam off her lip.

“Awww!” Mari coos.

Sheesh, that kid’s too smart for her own good.

“Whaddya think?” Zoe asks, rapidly changing the subject.

“That’s the biggest snowman I’ve ever seen.” I rub my chin thoughtfully. “But it looks more like a… a…”

“A bear!” Jace yells delightedly.

“Yeah, that’s what I was thinking,” I say.

Jace’s eyes get huge. “That’s okay, right?” he says.

“Yeah, it’s okay to talk about shifters in front of me and Zoe,” I tell him, rubbing his tousled brown hair.
