ROMANCE : PARANORMAL ROMANCE: Unwanted mate (BBW Pregnancy Werebear Shifter Romance) (New Adult Paranormal Romance) (4 page)

"I think you should talk to him, Alyse," Ben said. "Otherwise he's just going to keep on trying to see you until you finally give in."

She heaved a great sigh. "Fine. But will you stay in the room with me? I really don't want to be alone with him."

Ben nodded. "Of course I will."

Alyse smiled gratefully. "Thank you." Together they walked into the living room where Jack waited to talk to her. As he stood, Alyse's stomach did a flip. "What are you doing here?" she asked the second he looked at her.

Jack held his hands up. "I just want to talk about the baby," he said. "I've had some time to think and I realize that maybe I made a mistake in leaving so quickly. If it is my kid, then I want to be there for it."

"If?" Alyse said, angry. "IF? This child is yours and you refuse to accept it. You're a coward!"

He shrugged. "I'm sorry, but I don't want to get stuck raising a kid if it's not mine."

Alyse laughed. "You really think I'm such a slut that I would sleep with so many men and wouldn't know who the father of my child is?"

"If the shoe fits..." Jack said, trailing off.

"That's it," Ben roared, stepping in for his sister. "No one gets to call my sister a slut. If she says the baby is yours, then it's yours. But you're never going to know for sure, because you will not come back here. Ever. Get out." He pointed to the door, staring Jack down.

"All right. I can see this was a mistake," Jack said. He grabbed his coat from the back of the couch and stalked past them, slamming the front door behind him.

Alyse sat on the couch and began to cry from her anger. She couldn't believe his audacity to accuse her, once again, of sleeping around. It took her a few moments, Ben sitting next to her rubbing her back, but she finally calmed down. "Thank you for stepping in," she told her brother.

"Of course," Ben said. "You're my baby sister. Nobody will hurt you and not hear from me. He's lucky I held myself back."

Alyse laughed. "Love you, Ben."

"I love you, too, Alyse," he replied.

Deciding she was tired from the day, Alyse went up to her bedroom and got ready for bed. She fell asleep almost as soon as her head hit the pillow, dreaming of Brandon and their time spent together on the beach.

* * *

Three months went by and Alyse and Brandon were still dating. Brandon still hadn't met Ben, in spite of Alyse's brother insisting repeatedly that they meet. Finally, Brandon and Ben were able to plan a time when they could all have a dinner together at Alyse's and Ben's house.

It was a Sunday evening and Brandon had volunteered to do the cooking, but Ben vetoed that idea. He was going to cook everything, though he had consented to allow Brandon to help. As they worked together in the kitchen, Alyse sat at the counter, picking at the food they chopped or set aside.

Brandon had been worried that Ben would grill into him and be the protective older brother that Alyse had said he was. However, Ben seemed laid back and while he did ask a lot of questions, Brandon felt very comfortable around him. As the evening wore on, he found himself liking the man. They had a lot in common, including a love of animals. Of course it helped that they were both shifters, but not all shifters had the same, deep passion that the men seemed to share.

After dinner, Ben told them that he had to run to work for the night shift and quietly left, allowing Brandon and Alyse to have some time alone together. They sat on the couch, talking for a while. Alyse leaned against him after lighting a fire, allowing the warmth to spread over them as they sat on the couch in front of it.

As they talked, Brandon wrapped his arms around her, placing his chin on her head. He knew that his feelings for Alyse had grown much stronger than he would have expected for their time together, but he thought she felt the same. For days, now, he had been debating whether he should tell her he loved her, but the timing never seemed right. Now, as the fire crackled behind them, he decided it was the right time. He used a finger to turn her head toward him and pressed his lips lightly against hers. When he pulled away, he looked into her eyes and whispered, "I love you."

A smile spread across Alyse's lips and he saw her eyes begin to fill with tears. "I've been wanting to tell you the same thing, but I was so scared that you'd run away if I did. I love you, too, Brandon."

He wrapped his arms around her waist even tighter, smiling. Alyse turned in his arms so that she faced him, reaching one hand up and winding it in his hair while her other hand began to work on the buttons on his shirt. They kissed, deeply and passionately and Brandon slowly laid her down on the couch. Alyse watched him as he unclasped his pants and pulled them down, along with his underwear. Her eyes hungrily devoured his already hardened cock as it was revealed.

After pulling his shirt over his head, Brandon pulled Alyse's pants off and lowered himself onto her, taking care not to put too much pressure on her stomach so that he didn't squish her or the baby. He placed the tip of his cock at her opening and watched her eyes fill with pleasure as he pushed inside of her. Alyse moaned, moving her hips in motion with his as he thrust in and out.

Even though she was pregnant, she still felt so tight around him that he was surprised each time they were intimate. He groaned as Alyse hands ran up and down his back, tracing her finger nails across it. Brandon began to push harder into her as her hips moved with his.

Leaning down, he swirled his tongue in a circle around her nipple. It was already taut and he used his teeth to very lightly bite it, causing her to gasp. He smiled, loving her pleasure as his tongue worked on her other nipple. After a moment, he began to suck and within seconds Alyse was moaning even louder.

Placing a hand on his chest, Alyse pushed him backward so that he moved off of her and laid back on the couch. After taking her shirt off, revealing her perky breasts, Alyse climbed on top of him, straddling his waist and pushed herself onto him. Tilting her head back, Alyse placed her hands on his chest for support and began to pull herself slowly up and then back down his shaft.

Brandon loved the way she felt around him and moaned as she began to move faster. After a few moments, she started to move her hips forward and back and Brandon knew that her clit would rub against his pelvic bone with a little help. He pushed his hips up in the air slightly and could immediately hear the difference in her moans.

A smile broke across his face as he saw the pleasure pass across her face and she moved faster and faster. Watching her pleasure helped him and he felt the tension build in his body as his own orgasm grew. Within a few moments he knew he would come, but he wanted to wait for Alyse. Placing his hands on her hips, he helped her move forward and back more quickly. It didn't take much longer before Alyse was crying out as the orgasm swept across her body. Brandon kept his hips moving, helping the pleasure to last longer and within a few seconds, his own orgasm wracked over him.

Together they allowed the pleasure to encompass them as Brandon pumped his load inside of her. He pushed into her harder with each spasm of his orgasm until he was finished. Alyse was also done, so he kept himself inside of her and rolled so that she was underneath him once more. Then he pulled out of her and headed into the bathroom to grab a towel.

When he returned, Brandon helped clean Alyse before cleaning himself off. After placing the towel in the washer with some others, he collapsed on the couch beside Alyse. She laid just where he had left her, still naked. Her stomach was just starting to poke out and he ran his hand across it before tracing his fingers down her leg. Alyse watched him, studying him with her eyes.

"What?" he asked after a moment, flashing her a half-smile.

Alyse shook her head, returning his smile. "Nothing."

"Why were you watching me like that?" he asked her.

"I was just thinking," Alyse said, sitting up.

Brandon cocked his head to the side, waiting for her to continue. When she didn't, he prompted her again. "About...?"

"I was thinking that you'd make a great dad," she told him, watching his reaction.

He was surprised. While it was obvious that she was pregnant, they had never discussed what would happen if they were still together when she gave birth to the baby. "What makes you say that?" he finally asked.

She shrugged. "You're kind, patient, and caring. You take care of me and help me every chance you possibly can. Those are great qualities to have as a father."

Brandon smiled. "Well thank you. I hope to make a good father some day."

Alyse nodded. "I'd like it if you were able to be the father of this baby," she told him, placing her hands on her stomach.

"I'd like that, too," Brandon replied, looking into her eyes. A smile broke across her face and she quickly leaned in, pressing her lips against his.

After a brief kiss, they both stood and dressed then sat back on the couch. The fire crackled and popped in front of them and they felt the warmth of the flames pass over them. Brandon stared into the flickering light, loving the way Alyse felt leaning against him. He was so thrilled with the way the evening had turned out. While he had hoped to be able to tell her how he felt, he never imagined how well everything would have gone.

Alyse sighed contentedly as her head rested against his chest. "I really do love you," she told him.

"I love you, too, Alyse. And I'll always be here for you," he replied. Brandon hoped that she would always believe him and as he thought about their future together, he couldn't help but feel excited. He knew they would be great together and he couldn't wait to see what their future brought.
