Suddenly Bear

 

Life sucked. Twenty-eight and alone was not in her life plan, yet there she was—pathetic, sad, and falling for her sexy, gorgeous, five-years-younger roommate.

 

But when Jayden saves her from her ex’s drunken attack, Violet can no longer hide her need for the man she loves. She allows herself only one hot, amazing, incredibly sexy night with him, but it wouldn’t be fair to hold on to the man. He has the world at his feet and she’s an ambitionless waitress. Yet it would seem that Jayden has a better idea—sharing her with his brothers. Intrigued enough to get to know the other Delko brothers, Declan and Brandon, long distance, Violet is shocked to learn of their shifter status. Yet it’s not enough to make her walk away.

 

But it’s the secret the brothers are keeping from her that just might destroy everything.

Prologue

The guy was a dick.

Sharing an apartment with him while working his way through college was the most stupid, dumb-ass decision Jayden had ever made. He’d somehow believed cohabitating with his friend’s brother would be easy. Boy had he been wrong. If it didn’t mean acknowledging that his own older brothers were right, he would pack up his gear and get the hell out.

Of course, at this moment, it almost seemed worth the bruised ego.

If it wasn’t bad enough that the guy was drunkenly fucking some blousy, equally drunk blonde on the sofa Jayden had paid good money for, it seemed that Bruce “the asshole” Potts hadn’t noticed that his fiancée, Violet, had followed Jayden into the apartment.

“Bruce,” Jayden said loudly, trying to convey in a single word that Bruce had an audience.

“Fuck off, man.” Bruce pistoned harder and faster into the woman lying on the couch with her legs in the air, but stopped a moment to add, “Or grab a camera.” The woman moaned a sound of agreement and then giggled like a silly schoolgirl, despite being old enough to be Bruce’s mother.

“Bruce,” Jayden tried again, adding more urgency to his tone. Hell, he wasn’t trying to protect him—although he would’ve done anything to protect Violet from this little scene—but he wanted the guy to at least stop fucking long enough to see the devastation on his fiancée’s face.

The guy must’ve finally gotten part of the message because he pulled away from the woman and turned to look at Jayden. He didn’t even see Violet as he grinned and suggested that Jayden join them.

Jayden tilted his head to the side, silently indicating Violet’s presence. Bruce leered drunkenly at her for three whole seconds before he recognized his fiancée.

“Oh, shit. I…um…it’s not what it looks like.”

Jayden snorted in disgust, but it was Violet’s reaction that surprised them all. Her hand connected with Bruce’s cheek in a slap hard enough that the sound echoed through the apartment. The drunk blonde giggled from her position on the sofa, and shouted, “You go, girl.” Jayden had a brief moment to wonder if the blonde realized she was lying naked with her legs still open, before he saw Bruce’s reaction.

An angry sneer on his face, Bruce swung his fist straight at Violet’s head. Jayden stepped between them, easily catching Bruce’s arm and twisting it behind his back. The guy yelped in surprise but seemed too drunk to have the thinking power to fight his way out of Jayden’s hold. Jayden released him when he dropped to his knees, but the stupid bastard crawled over to the lounge and buried his face between the blonde’s thighs. The woman made a delighted, giggly sound and threaded her fingers in his hair.

Without a word, Jayden wrapped his arm around Violet’s waist and led her outside. By the time he got her into the car and secured the seat belt around her she’d begun to shake in reaction. By the time they arrived at her apartment she was crying hard, and by the time she fell asleep in his arms he’d agreed to be her roommate.

Chapter One

Violet opened the door to the apartment and somehow found the energy to make it all the way to the couch. It had been one of
those
days. The type of shitty day where one thing went wrong, and then another, and another, and another until she’d finally wondered if maybe going home and crawling back into bed was her wisest choice.

As soon as Jayden saw her, he moved across the sofa and patted the space beside him. She practically fell onto the soft cushions.

“Tough day?” he asked as he lifted her legs onto his lap and began massaging the balls of her feet. She groaned at the incredible sensation and nodded tiredly. They’d been roommates for almost a year now, and every day she fell just a little bit more in love with the guy.

But they were friends—just friends—and she valued the friendship too much to risk it for one of her disastrous relationships. She had a very bad track record in that arena, and she sure as hell wasn’t going to risk a solid friendship for fleeting sexual gratification. Of course she had to remind herself of that over and over as she bit back the moan that threatened to escape. The promise of one of Jayden’s amazing foot rubs was about the only thing that had gotten her through the day.

If he was this good with feet, how amazing would he be at rubbing other parts of her body? Forbidden images of him doing just that slid through her brain, and she closed her eyes as she tried to recall her daily mantra. What was it again? Oh, yeah,
just friends
. Just. Friends.
