Bear to the Bone (A Paranormal BBW Billionaire Shifter Tale): A Silver Moon Romance (3 page)

“What is it?”

“Well…I wanted to know if you knew anything about the legendary Kodiak bear.  I heard about it when I was in the airport and I wanted to know if you knew anything about it.  I really would love to see it, but if you don’t know then it’s fine,” she replied.  It was worth a shot.  However, just as she asked if she could see the man grow a little bit stiff.  Perhaps she hit a very touchy place?  She didn’t really know.

“I have heard of it but I don’t know anything of it.  I’m very sorry,” he replied. 

“Oh okay.  Well thanks.  If you do hear anything however could you let me know?  I would love to see it and I think it would be a great thing for the magazine I’m shooting for,” she said.  Judging from the look on his face he didn’t really want to talk about it, so she made sure that she didn’t say it was the only reason she was here.

“You’re welcome.  So is that the only reason you’re here? 
To photograph something that might be a legend?” he asked.  He was very sensitive with his question and Tara felt like he was striking a nerve with that.

“
No, not at all.  I just wanted some great pics for the articles I’m doing and I wanted to see if there was anything regarding that.  I would love to see it, but if I don’t then it won’t be a huge deal,” she lied.  She hated lying to this guy but she definitely knew that there was something up and she didn’t want to hit any nerves.

“Alright.  Well lets’ dig in then,” he said. 
They started to eat the dinner of trout with vegetables and rice and Tara immediately was floored by the taste.  It was amazing, and she loved it a lot.  The conversation was very quiet and she didn’t want to rally go in too deep into his past or anything.  He didn’t seem to want to talk a whole lot about that either.  After they finished up Morrison came back and grabbed the plates again.  Uriah turned to Tara with a smile on his face as he looked at her.

“Well my dear, that’s all I had planned.  Do you want to do anything else?” he asked.

“No I think that’s all that I needed.  Thank you for letting me come to your home today,” she replied.  She didn’t want to hit any more nerves, for he felt on the edge as it is.

“No problem.  I don’t’ know if we’ll see each other around but if we do you’re more
than welcome to say hi and have dinner with us again.  Good luck with your shoot,” he replied.

“Thanks,” she said. 
As Tara left Morrison came by and looked at Uriah with a very serious glare.

“So what should we do about her?”

“Put her on surveillance.  I want to know what in the world she’s really planning.  There’s no way that’s the whole story, and I don’t want her to get too close,” Uriah replied.  He was a little bit worried about her, but he was also worried about himself as well.

“Fine sir.  Whatever you like.  I will make sure that you are able to have what you need in order to get your job done,” the man said. 
He walked away and as he moved Uriah looked at Tara as she started to climb back the way she came.  She was a very attractive girl and as Uriah looked at her he could feel his erection growing stiff at the sight of her backside.  However, he had a job to do and that was the first thing he ne3eded done.  He was sure that this woman had more to her then meets the eye, but he didn’t want to pry too much.  He was going to wait for how things would play out, and if he needed to handle anything else in order to help keep his past a secret then he would.

Tara started to climb up the pathway again to where she originally found the stream.  Thankfully she wasn’t completely stupid about all this so, she was soon back at her cabin.  When she got there she uploaded the pictures from the animals and nature she took today.  They were very pretty, but they weren’t the gold mine she needed.  However, as she left Uriah’s house the intuition she felt started to go a little bit dimmer as she left.  There was something there the man wasn’t telling her, and she needed to get to the bottom of it.  Tara didn’t want to intrude, and she certainly didn’t’ want to get onto the man’s bad side, so she decided that she was going to camp out down by the river.  She was going to be by the edge of it, but it was closer to the mansion then the cabin was and she would be able to see what she needed to see and get the pictures she needed without intruding.

After looking around to see what the place had, she was able to find a tent, sleeping bag, some canned food, and some other good little treats.  She would eat her big meals at the cabin, but she would sleep by the river in case if the bear was going to come close during the night.  It was more
than likely going to happen in the evening anyways, so she had to be ready.  After setting it all up and grabbing everything she put it all in her bag.  Tara grabbed her computer and put it in the bag as well.  Even though there wouldn’t be any internet, she could work on editing the photos to prepare for the online viewing.

After she packed it all she went to bed.  She was going to set up tomorrow evening after a day of shooting and dinner so she would have more time to set it up with daylight.  That night she kept dreaming about Uriah and how sexy he was, and even though the man was pretty cold and heartless at one point, she knew that deep down this man definitely had a passion to him that she wanted to experience for herself.

The next day Tara got up early to go out and look around.  She decided to go the other direction this time and although there was still no sign of the bear she got some great pictures of the wildlife in Alaska.  There was something amazing about it that she loved to see, and she really was marveled by all of it.  She continued to look around at the different trees, spotting a beautiful red cardinal that was perfect for a spread she wanted to do on her photography website eventually.  She snapped a myriad of pics of the bird and headed back to her cabin.  It was about four now, so she ate a quick breakfast before she gr4abbed her stuff and set up came.

She went down to the stream and set up kind of beside it, but in the forest so that Uriah and Morrison couldn’t see her directly.  She started to open up her laptop, looking at the pictures of the bird she saw and editing them. 
She could feel the presence again, and immediately Tara stiffened.  She looked around the general area, but there still wasn’t anything and she was both nervous yet frustrated.  She hoped ti wasn’t anything else, but she knew that the other bears weren’t anywhere nearby and she did have bear repellent all over.  So what was the presence then?  She didn’t’ know, but at the same time she wanted to keep it a mystery until she was able to fully find out and figure it all out.

About five days had passed since the day she arrived and there was still no sign.  Clients
were still doing okay despite her not being there, but she knew she had to bet back to reality soon.  The place was nice and she really loved Alaska, but her home in California needed some TLC as well.  Plus she missed taking pictures of attractive couples in embraces and other such things, and although she loved to see how the animals and stuff looked around here, she was ready to go home.

That night, Tara was by the river getting some water when she saw a
saver outline in the distance.  It was down about a mile, but immediately her ears perked up as she saw it.  Was it the silver bear she needed?  Would she finally be able to go home and back to reality?  She went into the tent and grabbed her camera, running down the river and to where the sight was.  She had to be both quick yet quiet, and it took a little bit longer than she expected, but she soon found the area of the river she was looking for.  It was a deeper part, and she definitely was interested.  It was also by the waterfall, which helped mask her movements through the forest as she looked around.  However, when she got to the area she looked at it again, and she immediately flushed at the sight.

Instead of a bear, she found something she thought she would never see.  It was
Uriah in the buff and completely naked, and she could see everything.  He had a well-defined set of abs and pecs that looked very big and very broad, and his arms looked like he’s been at the gym a whole lot recently.  His legs were both long and toned as well, and she could see his hair cascading down his body.  She was marveled by the sight, and she was also turned on as well. 

While Uriah was there in the pool he was thinking.  He had watched Tara a whole lot recently and he was entranced by her. 
She was a very pretty woman and really did have a lot going for her.  Plus she was very sexy, and when he saw her undress a few times he couldn’t help the erection from forming when he laid his eyes on her.  She was a very pretty woman, but he also had to think about the other things he had to keep in mind.  One of them was that she was supposed to be working and he was so entranced with her that he just wanted to take her away.  He was turned on by her, but he was also a little wary.  She was still here after a week, which was very weird considering she just said that she was here to photograph nature.  Something was up, and he was going to keep a watchful eye on her so nothing was out of the ordinary.

As Tara watched the sight she moved a little bit closer.  She
didn’t want to reveal herself just yet.  However, when she looked at the man’s body in the moonlight she was totally in awe at it.  It looked almost ethereal in the distance, and she was so turned on by him that she almost forgot that she was supposed to stay hidden.  As she looked at him she saw that he was completely oblivious to him.  She looked downstream and there was another small pool.  She snuck over there and got behind the rocks, undressing her body.  As she did this Uriah looked at her, desire present in his eyes and a want for this woman increasing in his body.  He was so turned on by her that he wanted nothing else then her sexy body and he definitely wanted to take her and make her his. 

Uriah watched as she started to undress her body, taking off the t-shirt she had on first followed by her back bra.  He was enthralled by her naked breasts, which were very pretty and almost tantalizing.  He wanted her
badly, but he decided to stay quiet for a little while and watch the show.  She was only a little bit down the stream, and he could see her but she didn’t see him. 

As she took off her panties he could see the perfect curve of her butt.  It was almost too good to be true as he watched it move and get into the stream.  She gasped at how cold it was, but then she soon got used to it, sitting in the area and moaning
contentedly at the feeling of the ice water touching her body.

Uriah loved to see this, but he felt like it would be fun to mess with her. 
It was all in good show, and he knew from the look on her face when she saw him that she was interested in him as well.  He made a low grown, that sounded like a bear from farther away.  He let out another, and immediately Tara’s ears perked.  She thought it was the bear again.  She got up and walked out of there, almost running away.  Uriah got out of the pool and walked out, just in time for her to run smack into him.  She gasped at the feeling for a second, and after groaning in pain she looked up.  She immediately flushed at the sight before her.

“H-hey
Uriah,” she said.  She was immediately beet red as he hands moved instinctively around his body.  She was so embarrassed, but at the same time she felt like she had just won the lottery and hit the jackpot.  She couldn’t believe that this man was really here, and she definitely was tantalized now. 

“
Hello yourself.  My, I didn’t think I would see a cute woman like you out here.  It seems to be my lucky day,” he replied.

“S-sorry.  I was just bathing,” she replied.  She tried to play it off as something simple but as she tried to pull away he kept her there, holding her in a bear hug.  He felt so strong, and she
was immediately melting in his arms.  This was a dream come true, and she felt like she had finally not only hit the jackpot, but also won the lottery and was in heaven as well.

“It’s fine.  So my dear, you seem very cold.  I can feel your nipples poking into my chest,” he cooed.  She flushed at the words, her body already on the edge with desire and want.  She wanted him so badly, and she could feel her nipples harden not just from the sudden temperature change, but also because she wanted this man as well. 
However, she was still a little wary about trusting him.

“Y-yeah.  Sorry I am cold.  It’s freezing out here,” she replied.

“Well than, would you mind if we went back to my place?  I think you could definitely use a bit of relaxation; you seem edgy.  I will definitely make sure that you feel the pleasure and want that I know is lying dormant inside of you and is just waiting to come out,” he replied.

At those words it was impossible for Tara to flush any redder.  She was totally
interest3ed in this guy, and he was almost like a knight in shining armor that was here to save her. 

“I think that might be a good idea,” she replied.

“Well then it’s settled.  Why don’t you put your clothes back on and we can head over to the house?  I assure you those clothes won’t be on for very long once I’m alone with you inside,” he replied.  His voice was intoxicating and Tara couldn’t help the flushing that was coursing over her face. He was so sexy and enticing that she wasn’t going to be able to say no.  She simply nodded and he let her go.  They quickly got dressed and as she put her camera around her neck he picked her up and held her in his arms bridal-style.  She flushed at the way he held her, amazed that a man would even want to hold her in this way.  They went together to the back door of the house, which wasn’t very far away.
