Free His Unbearable Desire 2 by Elena Stone Page B

the darkness for any sign of movement and then it came to her. The stomping of paws thundered across the ground and she heard branches being snapped under the weight of something heavy, and large. Ana looked more closely and saw a large shape move in the darkness. It came forward and she backed up, stumbling across the deck, until her back hit the log cabin.
     
    When the beast came into view she saw that it was a grizzly bear and she could barely scream. Her eyes went wide with terror and she fumbled at the door to try and get to safety. She couldn’t take her eyes off the terrible, frightening beast. Its beady eyes gleamed in the moonlight and saliva dripped off its sharp teeth. Claws were unsheathed as it ran across the earth, eating up the ground like it was nothing, and then it roared again as it leapt up on the balcony.
     
    Ana cowered in terror and held her hands up in a vain effort to ward off the attacker. She was sure that her life was going to end there and then. All her regrets and hopes, all her heartbreak meant nothing. She could feel the monster’s warm breath hit her skin and her gut twisted with revulsion. She felt like throwing up and she prayed for an escape.
     
    She was sure she was going die, and in her last moments she looked up to the bear. Her eyes were wide with fright and they glistened with tears, but then the bear’s face contorted and it howled in pain. Its arms raised and it lumbered on two feet, and then it crashed down on all fours.
     
    Its body writhed and it shook, and it screamed in pain. Ana tried for the door again and pressed herself as close up against the cabin as she could, for she was witnessing something monstrous and horrible. But then something miraculous happened. The bear turned into a man, with a broad back and long, shaggy hair. He raised his head and their eyes locked, and that’s when everything became clear. She shook her head in horror, for the man she was looking at was Colton, the man she loved.
     

Chapter 7
     
    Ana’s face was white as a sheet as the full moon bathed the world in a silvery glow. She had intended to come to the cabin to confront Colton but she had never expected this. In a mere instant she had seen a monstrous, beastly bear roar and clamber up onto the balcony before her. It’s dark, beady eyes had squinted at her and gleamed cruelly in the darkness of the night while saliva had dripped down off its sharp teeth.
     
    Its thick fur was dark and covered every inch of its body, and knife-like claws emerged from its paws. It was a deadly creature and as it had towered above her she had gotten a sense of its unmatched power. Hot breath blasted her as it roared, and that ear-splitting roar still echoed around her mind moments after it had changed. She had thought her life was in danger, and she expected to see nothing but the blackness of infinite oblivion. But she was still alive.
     
    By some miracle she had survived, although her heart was thundering in her chest and her body was drenched with fear. She gulped in breath as she looked at Colton and almost couldn’t believe her eyes. Her mouth moved but no sound came out, and he looked at her with his piercing, hooded eyes. He was naked and the moonlight kissed his sinewy body. As she tried to process everything she felt his crackling, electric, intense energy. He looked at her wildly, as if he was still more beast than man, and she felt arousal surge within her.
     
    All of her intentions to confront him had been replaced by a desire that could only be quenched by his love. It was a yearning deep within her soul that had to be sated and took precedence over everything else inside her. A hunger erupted and every instinct told her that she needed to devour and be devoured. When she looked into his eyes she felt his primal energy overwhelm her. It was as though she were tapping into some unseen force of the universe and it guided her movements, yet she was conscious of everything.
