Free The Bears Shared Bride: A Paranormal Menage Romance by Amy Star Page A

amorous tryst the less shady part of the equation. This time, the Werelion made a full bow, “Again, our apologies.”
    The group turned at a nod from the Werelion and moved down the hallway, shutting the door with a click behind them. Thearon paused for a full minute, waiting for someone to burst back into the room but when silence reigned, he sighed and let the bear slip out of his system. Turning to Lavinia he admitted, “You did an amazing job talking them down. I’ll admit I let my bear get away from me.”
    “Well, it would have looked a little strange if some of your bear didn’t come out. But I didn’t want this situation to become public knowledge.” Lavinia smoothed her hair back into place and Thearon followed the movement, annoyed, he wanted her hair messed up.
    “What the hell were you doing here, though? I thought I told you to stay in the party?”
    Lavinia rolled her eyes, “You made a strategic error when you left me with Paulette. She knew exactly what you were up to and where you were probably headed. She sent me off after you almost as soon as you’d gone. I was so slow because I was trying my hardest to stay silent. Something at least one of us succeeded at,” she finished with a pointed look.
    Thearon knew that he should thank her but part of him wanted to punish her as well. He didn’t like that she took such risks with her safety. And above all, he didn’t like that she had defied his orders. Thearon fully turned toward Lavinia and forced her to walk backward until she hit the wainscoted wall behind her.
    “Ouch, hey, what’s—“
    Lavinia’s speech was cut off for a second time as Thearon’s mouth descended on hers. His hard lips forced hers into a full pout. then into submission. This time, it was obvious he was not trying to put on a show. The tongue that licked its way into Lavinia’s mouth was hot and greedy and it made her knees weak. Resting against the wall for support Lavinia arched her back in hopes of giving Thearon better access to her lips.
    She was rewarded as her hair was tugged, the bite of pain wasn’t even a blip on her radar as Thearon’s tongue moved away from her mouth and started ringing the edges of her ear. The gentle caress caused her insides to clench and another breathy moan to leave her newly freed mouth.
    Thearon bit her ear, right over the diamond stud before whispering, “I don't know if I should thank you or spank you, so I think I’ll do both.”
    Lavinia almost dropped to the floor with that statement, but Thearon’s hands moved to her ass to keep her in place. The feel of his mouth against her neck caused her heart to beat like a hummingbird’s: fast and loud. So loud in fact that she had missed the zipper being slowly pulled down the back of her dress. It wasn’t until Thearon had moved it down her arms that she felt the release of the tight fabric. Thearon dipped his head down further and hummed into her breasts, nuzzling them as if they were what he loved and missed, rather than the woman baring them.
    Lavinia nudged Thearon until his head popped up and she gave him a dirty look. Thearon’s eyes narrowed and he maintained defiant eye contact with her as he roughly took her breasts. In turn, he sucked both nipples from behind their lacy protection. He roughed his tongue against the sensitive skin until they turned to pebbles in his mouth. Lavinia felt her core go molten at the trespass. The frustration of not being able to use her hands was becoming overwhelming, it was adding to her need to have more. More freedom, more kisses, more of him.
    “I need more.”
    The statement must have come from Lavinia’s own mouth, but the deep and breathy voice that spilled into the room sounded like it had come from someone else. Lavinia had never sounded so undeniably sex crazed. Thearon chuckled in response and knelt down on the floor. Slipping his hands up her dress, he hooked his fingers into the lace of her thong and pulled down. He considered the
