Free Beary Overdue (Polar Bliss 1) by Ruby Shae Page A

the Hollands here yet?”
    “Yeah. Follow me and I’ll take you back.”
    “We’ll find them,” Reid said.
    “Okay, enjoy your lunch.”
    Jillian followed Reid as he walked through the restaurant. It was the grand opening weekend of The Bear’s Den , and the place looked wonderful. When they saw Hayden, they stopped to offer their compliments.
    “It looks amazing,” Reid said. “Congratulations.”
    “Congratulations to you both as well,” Hayden said.
    He was referencing their mating, and she and Reid both smiled.
    “Thank you,” Reid said.
    “Thank you, Hayden,” Jillian added. “This place is fabulous.”
    “Thank you both,” Hayden beamed. “I couldn’t have done it without your generosity.”
    “We don’t know what you’re talking about,” Reid winked.
    “Have a wonderful opening day,” she said as Reid pulled her toward their family’s table.
    She and Reid had arrived in Longmeadow the night before, but after working all day, the five hour-drive had been exhausting. They’d opted to see their family the next day, and celebrate the grand opening and their mating at the same time.
    She couldn’t wait to see their faces.
    The previous weekend, after their initial mating, Reid had woken her many times during the night, and they’d stayed in bed the entire following day.
    After eating most of their provisions, they’d emerged another day later and visited the café for lunch, and then roamed around in the fresh snowfall. Reid had wandered with her in both his forms, and she felt closer to him than ever.
    After a month of dating, and waiting for more physical contact, she hadn’t been disappointed. His mouth had tasted sweet and minty again, like it had seven years ago, and his amazing tongue still drove her wild.
    He wasn’t the same man from seven years ago…he was better.
    “Oh no you guys didn’t!” Riley yelled. “I can’t believe you didn’t tell us.”
    As soon as they walked into the section that included their family, Riley jumped up from the table, crossed the room, and hugged them both.
    “We wanted to surprise you,” Reid smiled.
    “Are you back?” Riley asked her as the brothers surrounded Reid.
    “I have to finish the school year,” she said, “but then yes, we’re moving back.”
    “I knew it,” Riley said. “I’m so happy for you guys.”
    “Me too,” Jillian agreed.
    “Congratulations Silly Jilly,” Ridge said, pushing Riley out of the way.
    He hugged her tight, and then made room for Ryker.
    “You’ve always been part of our family,” Ryker said. “But it’s nice to finally have it official.”
    Ryker hugged her, and her eyes filled with tears.
    Reid frowned and took a step toward his brother, but she waved him off. He immediately understood they were happy tears, and visibly relaxed.
    Soon they were all seated around the table, and more tears welled in her eyes. Reid gave her hand a gentle squeeze, and when their eyes met, she knew he understood.
    It might be seven years overdue, but everything she’d ever wanted sat around the table. She had her mate, her family, and soon they would be living in Longmeadow permanently.
    It felt good to be home again.
