Hare Today, Bear Tomorrow (Mating Call Dating Agency #1)(24)
“Even when we go to work? Might be a little socially tricky.”
She laughed as he drove in and pulled back. “I’ve never felt like this,” she said. “I’m laughing, I’m smiling and... I’m... oh my God!” the last part all came out in one syllable.
“You better hurry up,” she said as the muscles inside clenched Stacy’s girth, squeezing him as he pushed in, pulled back and then drove forward again. “You’re gonna finish me off, and I’m gonna be sore and you’re gonna wish you weren’t so good at this!”
She smiled again, staring straight into Stacy’s eyes. Then, she closed hers, and let these almost alien feelings of security and safety carry her away.
“Open your eyes,” he whispered, kissing her neck, then her ear. “I want to see those eyes, I want to see your face, when you...”
She opened them slowly. It was hard to keep them from fluttering as he pushed her closer to the edge. Tingles of electricity snaked up and down Garnet’s back, forcing her fingers to curl against Stacy’s back and her toes to curl against his thighs. She felt him thicken and pulse, his breath heightening to match.
“You’re safe with me,” she whispered. “You can just be you. You don’t need to... to... to act.”
The cords in Garnet’s neck grew taut. She felt her chest constrict and couldn’t help herself from lifting her hips to meet her bear with every thirsty, desperate thrust. “I can’t stop,” he moaned into her ear. She tightened again around his thickness, almost taunting him.
“Then don’t,” Garnet said, staring straight into Stacy’s eyes. “After all, we got plenty of time for this, right?”
He drove his fists into the mattress, threw his head back, and as the two of them climaxed together, their breath matching and their hearts beating in time, he let out a roar that was sure to disturb the neighbors, but just made Garnet feel him even more deeply than she could ever imagine.
Surges of white heat, followed by cool prickling waves coursed through her, and as her body seemed to draw to a single point of light centered right where Stacy was inside her, as deep as he could get, and pulsing over and over, she just gave up to the pleasure, gave up to her shuddering.
“And now I’m hungry,” Stacy said a few minutes after they’d collapsed into a heap of arms, legs, fur and claws. He lifted his hand and flexed it as his fingernails turned human again, and kissed the receding fur on Garnet’s neck.
She laughed softly. “Yeah, well, you know what they say about rabbits, right?”
“You eat a lot of hay?”
With a playful punch on his arm, Garnet rolled the big bear onto his back and slid her legs around either side of him. She rubbed her sex against his, and as soon as he stirred to life, she slipped him back inside. This time though, there wasn’t any thrusting. She just settled her weight down until he was all the way in her, and their bodies felt like they’d grown together.
“If you really want me for a mate, you’re gonna have to get used to this,” she whispered, kissing his neck and nuzzling him gently.
“Deal,” Stacy whispered, returning her kiss, and brushing her fallen hair back behind Garnet’s ear. “God is it ever a deal.”

“Hey look here,” Dora said, holding up a postcard from Ohio. “I guess your latest match worked out pretty well.”
Eve poked her head out from the back room where she’d been busily reorganizing her file folders. It was a perpetual activity with her, and never quite seemed to finish. Someday though, she thought, someday she’d actually have all her prospective matches in alphabetical order. By species, of course.
“Oh yeah?” she wiped the dust off her hands and took a sip of Dora’s coffee. They were close. “I guess that whole plot with sending her to Ohio and putting ‘em up in that ridiculous hotel worked out?”
“How do you manage to pay for all this stuff? I mean, I get that they pay you for the service, but... I saw that hotel bill,” Dora said. “I paid the bill. That thing, and the minibar expenditures, cost more than both of them paid you. Not to mention the dinner at La Chateau? I mean, I know you’ve been doing this for years, so obviously you know something I don’t know, but what the hell, woman?”
Eve shrugged. “I always work it out. This time, Garnet’s editor paid part of the bill. She apparently was able to write it off as a business expense because of some riot or other. Then we also got a little chip in from Stacy’s promoter. Or maybe it was his tag team partner. I can’t ever keep that stuff straight.”
“Sounds like a lot of people wanted these two to have a chance, huh? Also, quit drinking my damn coffee.” Dora snatched the cup away from Eve, not caring that some spilled. “The world ain’t always a nasty, brutish place, huh?”
Eve smiled. “Well, it’s hard to say, but yeah, I think that a lot of times people just want to see their friends happy. They don’t have a clue how much just giving back a little bit can do.”
The two matchmaking wizards sat there, looking at one another for a moment before Eve knocked on the table top and took another drink from Dora’s cup. “Anything else lined up for the day?” she asked.
Dora sighed and shook her head. “What if I have strep?”
