."I nodded."I know.But it's sure not a great feeling to have the man you love mad at you.""Don't I know it.Calvin's not very pleased with me right now, either.I've been officially banned from being present at all future possible battles."We talked for a little while longer, and presently I asked Emily if she knew where Aaron was.She said that somehow, one of the wolves had escaped the fray during the battle and had started running east toward Canada."Aaron and Lucas went to push him along a bit and make sure he stays gone.I guess they decided to let him live.And maybe this is a good thing for you, that Aaron went to do this task.Maybe when he returns tonight, he will have cooled off a bit."I said I certainly hoped so.We soon left Aaron's cabin, but before we did, Emily stopped in the doorway and gave me a hug."By shooting Alexander, you probably saved my life.Thank you.I think we're officially sisters now.And that makes me very happy."Aaron returned late that night, showered, and climbed into his bed with me.I snuggled into him, testing him to see if he'd push me away.But to my surprise, he took me in his arms and held me tighter than he ever had before, planting kisses all over my face.When he finally finished, I pulled away a little, searching his features in dim light from a lamp on the nightstand."Does this mean you're not mad at me anymore?""No.I'm still very angry with you, actually.And I'll probably continue to be for a while.But that doesn't mean that I don't still love you with all my heart and soul, Kyla.And that doesn't mean that I still haven't been thanking God all day that you're unharmed and okay.And also, I have to admit, there's a part of me that admires and respects you for being a strong woman not afraid to make her own decisions, although I already admired and respected you even before." He paused, turning on his side, taking a deep breath."But we have got to work on our trust issues.You could have been hurt very badly today, or even killed.I love you and I want to always protect you.But you have to help me do that by learning to trust me.""I know.I promise I'll work on trusting you completely.""Good." Aaron brushed a kiss against my lips."A step in the right direction."He kissed me again, this time, his mouth lingering.And before long, his kisses became a little hungrier and more insistent.I rolled onto my side and hooked a leg over his hips, moaning at the feel of his thick hardness pressed against the tingling space between my thighs.He slid a hand down the back of my underwear, caressing my bare bottom and pulling me closer to him.Soon, his groans joined my moans, and a while later, his growl of completion seemed to shake the cabin walls.Over the next week, I completed my picture of Aaron holding the purple coneflowers in his mouth in bear form, and I also painted two others.One, him lumbering through the deep woods, me on his back, clutching his fur, the side of my face pressed against his neck.And the other, him raised to full height, roaring, at the beginning of the battle with the wolves.Having a hint that the three paintings contained the passion my high school art teacher had sensed was missing from my previous work, I sent them off to a gallery owner in Detroit who'd sold a few pieces for me in the past.Within days of receiving the paintings, she called to tell me that they'd sold as a set at auction.For a hundred and ten thousand dollars.That evening, Aaron and his family surprised me with an elaborate dinner in the family meeting cabin to congratulate me.Afterward, Aaron and I sat in one of the swings in the clearing out back, gliding through the warm, evergreen-scented spring air, fireflies dancing around us.His arm around my shoulders, looking thoughtful, he gazed into the trees, and I asked him what was on his mind.After a long moment, he turned to me, taking my hand."I'm so incredibly proud of your art success, and I know you might be wanting to get back to Detroit soon to enjoy your new standing in the art community.But I'm also just wondering if you might consider." He took a deep breath, his dark brows angling upward to the center."Maybe after a visit home, would you consider staying here in the wilds, with me, on a permanent basis? Would you consider making these wilds your home?"Smiling, I squeezed his hand."There's nothing to consider.I don't even need to think about it.These wilds are my permanent home now.My home is with you."Grinning, Aaron pulled me closer and kissed me while crickets chirped a nighttime symphony around us.THE ENDOR IS IT?Thanks so much for reading, I hope you enjoyed.I am working on a follow up as we speak.I really hope you can give me a positive review as it will help me to get more work published!Watch out for “Her Bear Protector 2” coming very very soon!Love Shifter Romances?Join the “SIMPLY SHIFTERS” Mailing List!Get new book notifications, free books and lots of other great and wonderful things over @SimplyShifters.comOTHER POPULAR BBW SHIFTER ROMANCESRise Of The Female AlphaCurvy Sienna has always felt like an outsider within her own wolf pack.Deemed not quite as desirable as the other females and constantly disrespected by her alpha, it is no surprise that Sienna harbors a secret desire to leave forever.When she meets handsome white wolf Arric from the rival Silverlake pack, she meets a man who finally respects and understands her.They embark on a steamy but dangerous relationship.One that would mean certain death if either were caught.However, it is only after meeting Arric that Sienna begins to believe in herself and it is he that makes her feel special.Little does she know that she might just be more special then she could ever have imagined.GET IT ON KINDLE NOW!
