would happen.”
    “How could you not know the strength of your own…your…your magic?”
    He walked toward the fireplace. “I don’t know, doc. This is the first time I’ve had a mate.”
    He had to do something. He stacked logs in front of the hearth and started piling them in the fireplace. He struck a match under the kindling. He waited for the warm glow to spread before he sat next to her.
    “I’m freaking out, Jax. What in the hell am I going to do? I’m finishing my residency. You’re leaving. I think I just agreed to be an alpha. This is insane.”
    “Shh.” He kissed her forehead. He didn’t have the answers.
    She looked at him and his heart thudded louder than it ever had. He brushed his lips over hers, inhaling everything about her. Her breasts had never looked more tempting.
    “Jax, we have to talk.”
    “No, we don’t.” He pushed her back on the couch. “Talk to me like this.” He unbuttoned her shirt, letting the sides drift to the side.
    “We’re too rough,” she breathed. “We can’t…” her words trailed off as he pulled the pants over her hips.
    “I promise to be careful.” His eyes fired.
    He was going to take her over and over again until they couldn’t speak. Until they couldn’t breathe. Until she knew how he worshipped her body. How much he fucking loved her.

    There were things they should talk about. Like how they had walked out of a cave of bear shifters. Or how they were pretty certain she was pregnant. But one taste of his lips and her body was on fire. It had to be the pregnancy hormones. But none of that seemed to matter as Jax lowered his mouth to her breast.
    Her back bowed off of the couch, offering more to his mouth. Nothing had ever felt so intense or heated as his tongue flicked over her perked nub. Everything about her nipples was sensitive. The need to feel more was gripping her. She pressed his head against her chest.
    “Harder,” she urged.
    He growled, “I’m trying to be careful.”
    But the sensations were ripping through her like lighting strikes. His tongue lashed and toyed until she felt the slow waves quickening in her core. She bucked as his fingers slid between her legs.
    “Oh, Jax.” She clawed at his back. Everything was intensified. The ripples shook her.
    She looked in his eyes as he settled between her legs. “I promise I won’t hurt you.” He thrust inside her in one slow glorious thrust.
    “Ohh,” she moaned. It felt so right. So full. So soothing having him buried inside her again.
    Jax began to slide in and out of her and she felt the snapping in her core. She offered herself to him, wrapping her legs around his waist so he could push deeper inside. She needed it.
    “More. I want more,” she begged.
    He grinned. “Like this?” He sank his cock slow and hard into her, making her breathless.
    “Fuck, yes.” Her head reeled back.
    He growled in her ear as he moved in and out of her. Taking his time to fill her completely before sliding out again.
    When they knew their bodies couldn’t take any more. Jax wrapped his arms around her and held her while they quivered and pulsed, feeling the magic hum run back and forth between them.

    J ax walked onto the porch , leaving Haley wrapped in a blanket by the fire. The crisp air hit his bare chest. He should feel satisfied. His mate was inside. The bear war had ceased. The next heirs were on the way. Only, he knew he wasn’t being the bear he should be.
    “Hey, there you are.” Haley stood in the doorway.
    “Hey.” He shoved his hands in his pockets.
    “You look like you’re deep in thought.” She walked toward him, her hand grazing his shoulder.
    “Something like that.” He wasn’t used to sharing his feelings. He wasn’t used to sharing anything. He had been alone for so long he had forgotten there was another way to exist. Haley brought warmth and light into his life.
    When he was around her he forgot he was a trained killer. He forgot about the
