Bear's Baby (Bear Heat Book 4) Read Online Free PDF Page B

felt jealous, and she hated that
she felt jealous. She had no business feeling jealous. Baxter
didn't even know her before tonight. He was a free, single man, and
he had the right to date and bed any female he wanted.
    Lindy turned away. Jealousy
was an ugly, petty, unhealthy emotion. She didn't want her own
silly, unpleasant thoughts to mar this night.
    Baxter held her chin and
turned her face back to him. He might be busy enjoying and
pleasuring her body, but he was highly tuned to her response and
feelings. He was no sex-driven fool. Smart, observant, sensitive
and sexy. Oh, why couldn't he be hers?
    “Lindy,” he
whispered, searching her face. “Something's bothering you.
What is it?”
    She shook her head. “It's
nothing.”
    “You look...sad.”
    “I...”
    “Talk to me, Lindy.”
    She took a deep breath and
met his eyes. “You are a great guy, Baxter. You...you're my
perfect guy.”
    “I am?” His eyes
rounded before a grin split his face. “No one has ever said
that to me before.”
    “Really?” This
time it was her turn to widen her eyes at him.
    “Yeah.” He
leaned in and kissed her tenderly on the lips. “I'm not
perfect, Lindy,” he said haltingly, hoarsely. “But I
want to be perfect for you.”
    Lindy felt her breath catch.
She cupped his face in both hands and stared into his intense, gray
eyes for a long moment.
    “You are perfect for
me,” she said softly. “I guess I've always known it.”
    He opened his mouth but she
cut off his question with a deep, searing kiss.
    “Be mine,” she
murmured against his lips. “Just be mine tonight.”

CHAPTER
SIX

    Baxter held her tighter,
rubbing her arms, her back, and kissing her hair, her eyelids and the
tip of her nose. He heard the sadness in her words, and he knew what
she was thinking. She thought that this would just be a one night
stand. Some of the women he had been with had wanted more with him
as well. They wanted more than just sex. They wanted his heart, his
love. They were nice girls, and he didn't want to lead them on and
hurt them. He could give them sex, the best sex of their lives even,
but nothing more. His heart and soul, his love, his life would only
be given to one female. His mate.
    But he had long given up the
idea of ever finding his mate. He just wasn't one of those lucky
bears.
    So why was it that this
little human woman was making his bear all growly and territorial?
The beast was roaring to possess this female, to take her and
mark her as his. His bear had gone mad, stark, raving, roaring mad.
    Lindy was perfect, that was
for sure. He liked her. Liked was an understatement. He loved and
admired everything about her. He saw that she was dedicated to her
work, and from the glimpse that he'd caught of her writing on her
legal pad, he had a good idea what she did for a living. It only
racked up his esteem of her a good couple of notches. She was smart,
sensitive, independent. She stayed in a good neighborhood, and her
house was well-kept and cozy. She was highly successful in her
career, yet sweet, soft and vulnerable on the inside. The woman had
brains, beauty and a hot, curvy body. Could he get any luckier?
    He might be the luckiest bear
after all.
    Mine!
    His bear wanted to stake its
claim. Baxter had always been happy to go along with his bear. So
why was he holding his bear back this time? He swallowed hard as he
gazed down at her beautiful face.
    It was because she was too
darn important to him. He didn't want to risk his bear messing
anything up with her.
    He didn't want to lose her.
    Baxter breathed in the
intoxicating scent of her need and arousal. Her scent called to him,
sparked something fierce in him.
    He dipped his head and
suckled her hungrily. He growled against her breast when she arched
her back. They both wanted and needed more.
    Baxter teased and tormented
her stiff, erect nipples until she cried out and jerked off the
mattress. When he pushed her legs apart and lapped greedily at her
glistening
