Bearly Hanging On (A Werebear Shifter BBW Romance) (Laid Bear Book 3) Read Online Free PDF

The dude couldn’t take a hint. Apparently he needed everything spelled out for him.  
    “Love me? You don’t even know me. We talked for all of two hours on that date, Derek. And it was all about how great you were. I bet you don’t even remember my last name. I know I don’t know yours. I’ve tried to be nice about it but can’t you get it through your thick skull that I don’t want to date you?”
    He looked devastated and suddenly she regretted her harsh words. The last thing she wanted to do was embarrass him in front of his friends. She was only here for the summer, after all; Derek was most likely going to live here the rest of his life.
    Softening her tone, she laid a hand on his arm. “What I mean to say is…you deserve so much better than me, Derek. You deserve a girl who wants the same things as you. One who’s skinnier than me, prettier than me, smarter than me. One who wants to have a million of your babies. Don’t you think you deserve all those things?”
    She could feel Chet tense behind her with each word she spoke. It warmed her heart that he was so upset by her little speech but it was just to help Derek save face. Whatever it took to get him to leave her alone.
    “Yeah, Derek,” chimed in his nasty friend, Abe. “What’re ya all worked up over this fat skank for? You could get a lot hotter tail than her.”
    Derek sniffed — she was pretty sure he was sniffing back tears, but he put on a disgusted face to hide them — and said, “No doubt, Abe. Let’s plow.”
    Derek and his buddies hustled away, casting ugly glances backward as if she or Chet made one wrong move, they’d come back and beat their asses. Yeah, right.
    Strong arms snaked around her, pulling her back against Chet’s front. She leaned into him, breathing him in. The aroma of Polo nearly bowled her over, but it was what lay underneath the spicy cologne that caught her attention, that tightened her core against all common sense.
    Spinning in the circle of his arms, Crystal wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down to her. Waves of pleasure washed over her as their lips met. This was where she was meant to be, right here kissing Chet. Her toes curled when his tongue slipped past her lips and flicked against her own, challenging it.  
    Looked like he needed another lesson about how she could hold her own.
    Digging her fingers into his hair, she ground into him as her tongue darted in and out of his mouth, teasing him. He pulsed against her hip, his heat searing her already sensitive flesh. A little lower, she pulsed as well, wanting him to relieve the pressure that was building inside of her, threatening to spill over at any second.  
    She didn’t normally sleep with a guy so soon after meeting him, but there was something about Chet, something that made her need him more than any other guy she’d dated. But where could they go? Her grandparents’ place was out of the question and he’d mentioned that his family’s place was way out in the woods. Maybe she wanted to do the nasty with him, but she wasn’t about to go driving out to the isolation of the boonies to do it. Was she horny? Yes! Was she stupid? Nuh uh!
    Her attention was brought back to Chet when he cupped her breast, his thumb rubbing across the tight tip, sending lightning bolts southward. She couldn’t wait any longer, she needed him now !
    “Chet—“ she started.
    “I love you,“ he breathed at the same time.
    It was a moment before his words sank into her lust-muddled brain, before she understood what he said. She was so focused on finding someplace private that she almost didn’t hear him at all. No, no, no, she must have misheard.
    “Wait!” It nearly killed her to pull away from him, but she needed a bit of distance so her head would clear. “What did you say?”
    Goosebumps pebbled her skin as his palms lightly skimmed down her arms until they clutched her hands. “I love you, Crystal. I know, I can’t quite believe it either,
