His Bunny

Chapter 11

TEDDY

I study her as she eats. Watch the dark circles under her eyes.

How could I forget the effects of the Bond? Of course, she wouldn't be able to sleep properly, I haven't been either. I just figured that it was my protective instinct making me pace my bedroom at night.

I had hoped it wouldn't hit her as hard, being a human and all, I sure as hell didn't think it would make her sick like this.

I should have known.

If it hadn't been for the obvious... signs that she was going into heat, I might have brushed it off as the flu. But it's clear to me now what's going on.

Though her brother is still in his room, Noelle's parents sit at the table with us, eating quietly. I brace myself before saying, "Your daughter is my mate."

Noelle sputters, nearly choking on her food. 

Gently patting her back, I make sure she's okay before locking eyes with her enraged father.

So at least he knows what a mate is. I was worried Noelle's supernatural gene came from her mother's side.

"So you are a shifter," her dad asks, an icy calm in his tone. 

Noelle's mom stays silent, but she radiates satisfaction. I knew she wouldn't be the difficult one, she was overly supportive from day one.

"Yes, I'm a bear shifter." It feels wrong to tell near-humans about my kind, but I need them to understand.

From the resigned look in his eyes, Noelle's dad had obviously suspected me before. Maybe it was my overly protective nature or the fact that I'd been obsessed with my little bunny from the first moment I saw her.

He sighs, displeased, "That's why she was sick? Why she kept asking for you?"

Noelle snorts beside me, "What? I was doing no such thing."

"Yes, you were, Honey," Her mother chides, "And it was pretty cringy, but I support the drama."

"Mom!"

Her mom just shrugs, a smirk carving her slightly wrinkled face.

"Yes that's why she was sick," I confirm, bringing our conversation back on topic, "And why I'd like to keep her with me."

Noelle's jaw drops as her head swivels to me, "What?"

Her dad grunts, displeased, "You can imagine why I'd be reluctant to let that happen."

"As you should be," I concede, "And if our distance didn't threaten her wellbeing, I would respect your wishes. However, I can't risk her health like that."

Her dad stares at me for two solid minutes, before finally looking back down at his food. Slowly looking at his wife, he breaks the silence, "What do you think, Honey?"

Noelle's mom grins, "Just be careful kids!"

A few hours later, we're cozied up in my cabin in the forest. Noelle brought a few essentials, but we were able to head this way pretty soon after we got the go-ahead from her parents. 

We could have stayed at her house, but the issue really won't be resolved until we...do it, or until her heat is over. But either way, we aren't going to school and I don't want her family watching me touch her all the time. I'd never hear the end of it. 

Soon after getting to my cabin, we crashed on the couch, where we fell asleep quickly. Neither of us has been able to sleep very well these past few days and it's hitting us hard. 

Eventually, I wake to her sweet voice.

"Teddy."

Cracking open my eyes, I look up at my Bunny, bleary-eyed.

Her white-blond hair is a mess, falling into her face adorably. Her gorgeous grey eyes look hazy with sleep, and there's a small pimple on her forehead.

"Mornin' Baby," I smile up at her confused expression warmly.

She just stays in her position, with her little hands on my chest and her legs straddling my waist, as we lay on the couch, seeming to process what is happening.

Blankly, she gazes around the warm room, confused and still tired. "How long have we been here?"

"Good question." But instead of checking my phone, I sit up, then pick her up with me before heading toward the bedroom.

I gently lay her on the bed and then follow suit, pulling her into a spooning position. "Go back to sleep, bunny."

She complies.

My pants are so tight.

Why did I wear jeans? And why is my bunny dry-humping me?

Confused, I open my eyes to find a very feverish, very asleep mate. Back still pressed against my chest, she continues throwing it back on me.

She's grinding on my rock-hard dick.

My heart rate skyrockets and I try to control myself. She's asleep, she doesn't know what she's doing. And she doesn't want this right now.

Shit.

She's going to be the end of me.

"Bunny, wake up," I rasp in her ear, my hand roaming all over her hips and stomach.

Noelle moans. She moans and all fight is sucked out of me. Not that I had much to begin with.

"Touch me," she mumbles, her hand gripping mine and putting it on her breast.

Boob.

I squeeze her plump boob and all other thoughts leave my mind. I can't even stop myself when she lets out another sweet moan. I squeeze again, and then I start feeling for her nipple under her bra. 

Located.

As I start tugging and circling her nipple with my finger, she gasps and wakes up fully. Her hips stop moving, but her breaths remain erratic.

"What are you doing," She turns her head to look at me, gray eyes wide and disoriented.

I slow my ministrations, but I don't stop. The smell rolling off of her has me on the verge of combusting. She likes this and I'm not going to stop doing what she likes.

"Doing what I was told," I mumble, burying my face in her neck. When my lips touch her skin, she wheezes.

"What do you mean," she pushes her breast more fully into my hand.

I squeeze her boob one more time before trailing my hand down her body, "You told me to touch you."

"Oh," her voice is thin, raspy. My dick twitches. "How good of you to respect my wishes."

"How do you feel now that you're awake, bunny?"

She grinds her butt into my rock-hard member, "Please don't stop."

Within seconds, her pants are off.
