Snowbound: Bear Hug Tuesday Morrigan Alyssa’s had enough. She doesn’t care that there’s a snowstorm raging. She wants out of Devlin’s cabin and life. Thankfully, he’s prepared to give her every reason to stay in his arms.
Snowbound: Bear Hug One more word from that overgrown, bad-tempered, foul-mouthed bastard Alyssa worked for would be one word too many. She was seconds away from grabbing an ice pick and jamming it into his frozen heart. Instead she strode toward the front door. He was of course waiting for her, muscular arms folded across his chest as he leaned against the door. Flaxen hair that was too long to be fashionable cascaded past his wide shoulders. Dark blonde stubble etched his cheekbones and defined the hardness of his jaw as he peered at her with heavily lashed dark green eyes. “Where the hell do you think you are going?” “Please get out of my way,” she said through tightly clenched teeth. “Why?” Alyssa forced herself to take a deep breath before answering. “Remember the part where I said, ‘I quit’? Yeah, I meant every word.” “Every word?” Her gaze wavered. She knew he was remembering some of the nastier things she had said. “What I did and did not mean does not change the fact that I quit.” “There’s a storm brewing. You can’t possibly think you can go out there.” Two onyx eyebrows lifted. “Don’t tell me you’re concerned for my safety, Devlin. If you keep it up I might think you give a shit about me. Please move out of my way. Liam is waiting for me.” “Liam’s not coming. The man’s too smart to die in a snowstorm.” “Well, then I’ll trek my ass over to town by myself.” He stared at her for a moment. “You cannot leave me. You cannot leave him.”

For one moment Alyssa’s heart had soared at his words. And then reality intruded. She was still just his nanny. “Jamison will be fine.” His hands dropped to his sides and he stepped away from the door. Angry lines of tension rode his six-foot frame. “Like hell he will. When he wakes up and finds you gone he will not be fine. He will be devastated because he loves you. You are the only woman who has accepted him as he is. Even his mother couldn’t…” A sharp shaft of pain shot through Alyssa’s heart at Devlin’s words. She’d lived in his home for over a year, but had only recently discovered his and his nephew’s secret. They were shape-shifters. Males with the ability to turn into polar bears. She’d stumbled across their secret three months ago when Jamison became ill. Alyssa could not understand why this man with the time consuming job wouldn’t allow the nanny to care for the boy. One night she overheard Jamison crying her name. She’d tip-toed to his room and found a white polar cub crying for her. She’d been too shocked to be scared. And then understanding dawned… She looked up into Devlin’s swirling green eyes and told him the truth. “I will not stay here. Enough is enough.” He watched her for several moments. “Too bad. I haven’t had nearly enough,” he growled and lunged at her. He moved so quickly she didn’t have a chance of evading his determined hands. His fingers dug into her waistline and lifted her off her feet. Purposefully, Devlin strode through the hallway, kicked open her bedroom door, and dumped her on her bed. Alyssa blinked up at him as she bounced on the mattress. “Uncle Devi?” a voice called from down the hall. “Don’t worry, Jami. I’m just talking to Alyssa. Go back to bed.” His gaze raked over her. “See what you did, Lysa? You woke him up. Now, you’re going to have to be punished. Take off the damned parka. And everything else.” For a moment she stared at him. Then comprehension intruded and she jumped from the bed. He was standing beside it before her feet hit the ground. He pushed her back onto the bed and grabbed at the voluminous jacket she wore. She tried to smack

him away, only for him to grab her wrists in one hand and pull them over her head. His glittering gaze caught hers. “We can do this the hard way or the easy way, Lysa. Your choice.” “Why are you doing this?” He smiled. A flash of wicked intent that made her belly muscles quiver. “Because you want me to.” He took a deep, chest-expanding breath. “I can smell you, your desire. Your need. You’re wet, Lysa.” His quick, efficient fingers stripped her of her parka. Her gaze snapped to his. “You can’t… you’re lying.” “I could always smell you. Every time that hungry light entered your beautiful brown eyes your pussy was wet, crying for me. I knew it. And the knowledge has haunted me. I was trying to be a gentleman about it. But to hell with that.” Devlin pounced on Alyssa. Despite her struggles, he was able to remove her shirt. He threw it clear across the room. His large, callused hands cupped her breasts. “Stop fighting what we both want, sweetheart.” The whispered words drifted over her skin as he pulled aside the molded cups of her bra to reveal her dark puckered nipples. “Mocha ice cream topped with the sweetest chocolate chip. My favorite,” Devlin growled before wrapping his firm lips around the swollen bud. Alyssa jerked beneath him as the wet heat of his mouth invaded her very soul. Her fingers ghosted up Devlin’s broad back, his shoulders, until they tangled in the bright strands of his hair. Alyssa clutched him to her as he suckled her, using his lips and tongue to please her, caress her into a frenzy. She screamed his name when his teeth rasped against the sensitive tip of her breast. He soothed the tender flesh with his tongue, flicking it, and caressing the nipple with the wet velvet heat. “Oh God.” One hand moved down her belly to snake beneath her pants. His fingers curled into her, cupping the heated mound of her cunt. Instinctively she lifted her hips, seeking his touch. “Devlin, more.” His fingers dug deeper into her, pushing the satin fabric into her entrance. He lifted his head and caught her half-lidded gaze. “Gods, you’re wet. And hot. So damned

hot.” His face lowered and Alyssa found herself waiting with bated breath for the moment when his full lips would touch hers. She moaned on impact. The brush of Devlin’s lips against hers was soft, sweet, nothing like the harsh, determined feel of his hands on her skin. It was fulfilling, and yet not nearly enough. Alyssa tightened her grip in his hair and pulled him to her. His tongue, agile and determined, darted between her lips. It was as though she had snapped his leash. And Alyssa had never been happier to be beneath any man’s driven desire. She sank under the weight of Devlin’s passion, allowing his intoxicating kiss to drug her senses. He broke off the kiss. “I need to be inside you.” Devlin quickly removed his thermal shirt and jeans. Alyssa understood all too well how he felt. Twelve whole months of need had burned away every last misgiving she had. All she could think about was his touch, the way he made her feel when he put his hands on her. She lifted her hips so he could pull down her pants and her panties as she struggled out of her bra. Seconds later she lay beneath him totally bare. His heated gaze, so full of passion and longing, seared her. “You’re so beautiful, so dark and beautiful.” Alyssa cupped Devlin’s face, her palm moving over the rough plane of his hard jaw, as she stared up at him. “You make me feel beautiful.” Long fingers dipped into the well of her cunt. “Next time. Next time I’ll take it slow,” Devlin whispered against her lips seconds before capturing them in a harsh kiss. His hands gripped her hips and widened the area between her legs. His gaze locked with hers as he pressed the hard length of his cock against her. She could feel him waiting for her to tell him to stop. But that was the last thing she wanted. Alyssa took a deep breath and plunged headfirst into the emotions she felt. “I want you, Devlin. I want you to make love to me.” He stared at her for a moment. His golden lashes fluttered shut. “Fuck,” he growled and thrust the full length of his cock into her in one stroke. She gasped at the

almost overwhelming feeling of having the thick, hard length of him imbedded inside of her. The fingers on her hips tightened, pulling her harder against him for his stroke. Heat tore through her whole body as he surged into her. Alyssa’s nails dug into his shoulders. She groaned beneath him as every inch of her body pulsed with pleasure. His gasping breath wafted over her face, her mouth, seconds before his lips captured hers. Her nipples rubbed against the slightly furred planes of his chest as her hips moved to meet his thrust. Alyssa’s eyes snapped open with a breathless scream as her body erupted upon itself. “That’s it, baby,” he murmured as his cock slid deep into the wet heat of her fluttering cunt, pushing her higher, forcing out her orgasm, until her eyes slammed shut and Alyssa wondered if she would survive her own climax. Her nails dug into Devlin’s shoulders as she held him to her, using the simple, honest touch as a lifeline in the midst of their torrential passions. Another scream was ripped from her lips as the pleasure running through her veins became so intense it was painful. Her second orgasm felt as though it had shattered her body into a million pieces, even as it molded her together. It was the most delicious pain she had ever felt. A painful pleasure that left her quivering for more. Devlin’s long callused fingers cradled her face. His deep blue gaze caught hers. “I want you to come for me, sweetheart. One more time.” Her eyes widened in shock. “I can’t. Not again.” He gave her a wicked smile that forced her heart to skip. “We’ll see about that.” His fingers gripped her hips, digging into her flesh, pulling her closer to him for his thrusts. She wrapped her arms around him and pressed her lips to the column of his corded neck. He withdrew and surged back into her. She gasped at being possessed by him. At being fucked deep and hard by the man she loved. Her eyes slammed shut as she fell under the allure of pleasure.

“Oh God, Devlin. Yes. Yes. Yes!” she screamed as she came hard, pussy clenching tightly around him. As if from a distance, Alyssa heard the harsh groan of Devlin’s completion as he pounded into her.
*** Devlin found her in the bathroom leaning over the marble counter top washing her face. Her gaze caught his as she reached over and grabbed the terry towel. She didn’t even break his gaze as she dried her face. She couldn’t help but watch his every advancing step. “Lean over,” he growled slowly. The rough timbre of his dark voice floated over her skin to settle in her lower abdomen. Alyssa felt her pussy clench in desire. She slowly leaned over the bathroom sink, lifting her ass into the air. Devlin’s hands settled on her lower back, fingers curled around her waistline. They stayed there for a moment, doing nothing more than brushing against her soft, sensitive skin, flaming the fires of need that burned in her cunt. They slowly moved over her, mapping the rounded hill of her ass until they reached the under curve of her thighs. “Assume the position.” Alyssa darted a quick glance over her shoulder. His jaw was hardened by determined desire. Belatedly, she wondered how he knew about her fantasy. Then again maybe it was simply that as the Alaskan town’s only lawman Devlin was used to saying the words. The image of his handcuffs flashed through her mind. Later. She spread her legs until she could feel the cool air drifting over her heated sex. She had never been more aware of her body. He grabbed the button-down shirt she wore, the one she had taken from his closet, and tied it above her navel. His hands moved over her belly until they reached the underside of her breasts. Alyssa could hear her breath moving through her parted lips as she waited for him to touch her. It hitched the moment his fingers brushed against her nipples. Devlin plucked them, strumming them out. With every touch, every single caress, she felt her pussy fluttering.

“Mmmm. Devlin.” She groaned when his fingers left her breasts. They wrapped around her thighs and widened her stance, forcing her to lean against the counter. One digit slipped between the moist folds of her sex and spread the thick lips of her cunt. His thumb pressed against her clitoris. Alyssa’s breath caught in her throat. It rushed out of her lungs when he stroked his thumb over the swollen bud. She watched the slow descent of his head in the mirror as he knelt behind her. Alyssa clenched her teeth at the first feel of his tongue against her flesh. It scalded her as it moved over her, licking, tasting her until she was gripping the sink tightly. His tongue delved into her, stroking her, forcing the breath out of her lungs. Alyssa stared wide-eyed at the reflected image of her climaxing face as Devlin’s tongue flicked against her clitoris. Before she could come down from her sexual high he was inside her. With one thrust he was balls deep inside of her. Her eyes widened and caught his gaze. His fingers sifted through her midnight curls and found the nubbin at the apex. She jerked beneath him when his thumb brushed over her clitoris. “Say it, Alyssa.” Her gaze snapped to his reflected image. The flames burning in his blue gaze seared her soul as his finger brushed against her clit. Her eyes slammed shut and she gritted her teeth as waves of pleasure lapped at her, pulling her deeper into the dark abyss of satisfaction. She was going to come soon. Her fingers tightened on the counter. Her eyes popped open when she heard the distinct splash of water. She watched Devlin’s hand dip under the faucet and coat itself in the cold liquid. Alyssa didn’t move, even as she saw the lightly tanned hand make its way to her breasts. She shivered at the coolness of his fingers. The hotness of his touch as he tugged her nipples. “Look at me, Alyssa.” Her gaze lifted to his. His hand dipped back into the water. She took a deep shuddering breath as Devlin moved down her torso until he reached her cunt. He pressed his frigid finger to her clit. The cold burn of his touch made her shiver from more than the drop in temperature.

The coolness against her clit. The heat filling her pussy. The fire in his deep blue eyes. The cold, pungent air that surrounded them. The dichotomy was almost overwhelming. “Tell me, Alyssa. Say it.” She stared into his eyes unsure of what he asked for. And scared that she already knew the answer. His finger slipped lower, pressing against the entrance to her sex, placing pleasurable pressure against her already filled cunt. Ecstasy infused her every limb. Her grip on the counter slipped; only Devlin’s hold kept her up. “Tell me you love me, Alyssa.” Her eyes pinched shut and she shook her head. He could not ask that of her. For months now she had buried her emotions behind a façade of professionalism. She could not let them out now. “Tell me you love me as much as I love you,” he breathed into her ear as he surged past the clenched walls of her cunt. Alyssa came, gasping for breath as every inch of her body froze, stiffening in the throes of her release. Tightness gripped her chest and her cunt clenched around Devlin’s cock as her orgasm ripped through her. “Say it, Alyssa. Say it, damn it.” She blinked hard and tried to take a deep breath into her starved lungs, but Devlin was there, pounding his cock deep into her, forcing her to come again. Belatedly, she realized her nails were digging into the hands on her hips, her shoulders were leaning against the counter and she was afraid she wouldn’t survive another coaxed orgasm. Her thoughts hadn’t been in her mind for more than a second when Devlin pinched her clit just as he thrust into her pussy. This time Alyssa came hard and deep in an orgasm that seemed to go on forever. She could feel her cream coating her inner thighs, washing over Devlin’s cock, mixing with Devlin’s own release. Alyssa slowly turned around, forcing Devlin from her with the movement. She let out a little groan of dismay even as she slowly lifted her gaze to his. Her fingers threaded through his hair. “My heart is yours. Every thing that I am is yours.”

Devlin stilled beneath her touch, at the force of her words. Then his arms wrapped around her shoulders and pulled her to him. “I love you more than life itself,” he murmured against her hair. Alyssa smiled to herself. She had her very own bear to warm her through the coldest Alaskan nights. She was looking forward to winter.
Tuesday Morrigan Tuesday Morrigan began her love affair with romance at an early age. As a child she was always infatuated with the romance novels she snuck from her mother. Later, in high school, the public library became her sanctuary with an endless array of romance novels. Tuesday is still an avid reader of books. Thanks to shows like Buffy, Angel, and her latest infatuation Supernatural, Tuesday prefers her stories to have a little more grit. Her favorite genres have always been fantasy, mystery, romance and erotica, so as a writer, she tries to blend the genres to create her own personal niche.
