BRITTIN
When my brother and his problems had me coming back to Stales, my hometown, I was scared not just for my twin's health, but also because I knew I'd run into Law, my bear-shifting ex and the sheriff of Stales.
Our breakup hadn't been grisly, but after nearly two years, the thought of seeing him again had everything tightening in me because ... I still loved him.
But that was the past, and I knew I had to move on, right?
LAW
Brittin was the only woman I would ever love. She was it for me, even if she broke it off because of my domineering ways. I screwed up when I lost her, and I spent the next two years regretting it. But she'd wanted space, and when she left for the city, I let her.
But now she's back, and it's my chance to show her I can give her everything she wants. It's my chance to show her I can be the man she deserves.
I just hope I haven't let too much time pass, because not having Brittin in my life is a fate worse than death.
Warning: This short story features a growly bear shifter, and a stubborn heroine. It's hot, to the point, and you'll end up wishing you had your own shape-shifting alpha to keep you warm at night. Bear With Me was previously published under the title "Yes, Sir" and was included in the Cuffed and Claimed anthology. It has since been slightly revised and re-edited, but the story itself is the same.
