Eeny, meeny, miny, mo,
Catch a Bear by the toe,
if he hollers,
donβt let him goβ¦
In the merry village of AmΔre, love isnβt just the townβs namesakeβitβs a way of life. When Goldie Locks unexpectedly meets the three brothers Bear, she soon discovers that oldest brother, Dylan, is charming, but too passive. Youngest brother, Camden is attractive, but much too aggressive. But the middle brother, Hayden, with his brooding eyes, delicious body and keen sense of timing, well heβs just right.
Excerpt:
Goldie sat with her legs crisscrossed just like the stack of firewood, and I sat opposite her. She handed me my wine glass, and I tilted it toward hers.
βTo mistaken homes, mismanaged meals, and mishaps at midnight,β I said.
She threw her head back and laughed. Her beautiful, swollen lips curved into a smile. βTo better endings.β Our glasses briefly chimed against one another.
When she drank, wine dripped down her chin. I leaned over and gently dabbed the streak from her face. βShould I take you to the ER?β
She shook her head. βTrauma.β
βThe trauma unit?β My voice sounded as hysterical as I suddenly felt.
She grinned and sucked in her bottom lip. βSwollen lips are typically caused by trauma to the mouth.β
βI didn’t mean to, you know, punch you. I was aiming for the door.β
βWell, if you canβt share a concussion with your loved one, what can you share?β
βI caused a concussion?β My tone had moved from hysterical to frenzied.
Goldie erupted into laughter. She held her side and started to sway again. Her honey-colored wine sloshed back and forth in her goblet like liquid gold.
βAre you all right?β I said and nervously laughed, which only made her laugh harder. βYou donβt really have a concussion, do you?β
She held her glass toward me. I quickly placed my glass on the ledge of the fireplace and grabbed hers. As soon as she was free of her wineglass, she leaned over and broke out into, what could only be described as a fit of giggles.
βYeah, okay, I get it.β I placed her glass on the fire place beside mine. βHa. Ha. Ha. Very funny. Make fun of the guy who punched you. Nice.β
At that comment, she only laughed harder. She stopped momentarily to point her finger at me and widen her beautiful green eyes. βYou did! You punched me!β
I shook my head. βIt was an accident.β
But more laughter ensued. She barely came up for air when she looked at me with her purple, bruised lips, and then I began laughing. βIβm sorry,β I said. βBut those lips. Not so sexy.β
She leaned over and looked at her reflection in the glass fireplace screen and howled. βOh, my gosh! I look awful!β
βI know! You do!β
She leaned into me, and I leaned against her until we were laughing so hard we collapsed back on the blanket. We could barely breathe. With our hands on our stomachs, trying to catch our breath the fire warmed my feet and Goldieβs laughter still seemed to echo in my ears.
βWell, this was probably the worst date night of my life,β I said staring at the high ceiling in her house that looked like pixie dust had been scattered across it. It sparkled and shone like stars in the evening sky. Everything in Goldieβs house was magical.
Goldie elbowed me. βAh, get over it, Bear. This was a great night. How many times do you get to hit on your brotherβs date?β She elbowed me againβonly harder. βI mean, literally.β
βAh, thanks, Locks.β I turned my head to her. βDidnβt think I could feel any worse about my night.β But she was grinning so wildly it was devastatingly cute. I shook my head and rolled my eyes for good measure.
She leaned over and kissed me quickly.
I playfully wiped my mouth with the sleeve of my shirt. βEw, get those big lips off me.β
She attempted to swat my arm, but I grabbed her wrist before she made contact. I raised an eyebrow. βGotta be faster than that, Goldie. Us Bears are quick when we smell honey.β I leaned toward her and started flirtatiously sniffing her neck. Her head turned toward my nose.
βOh, that tickles.β She wiggled beside me.
βThis?β I said coyly panting and snorting like a big bear. She twisted and giggled, but couldnβt get away because I still held her wrist. I continued to huff and puff like a hungry bear, but the smell of nectar on her neck, the warmth of her skin against mine, and the fire crackling and snapping before us was like a hot command for passion. All the elements were in place including my desire that drove my mouth to nibble her delicate earlobe.
She stopped squirming beside me and started turning into me. βOh, Hayden.β
My tongue trailed her earlobe down her neck. I softly kissed the hollow of her collarbone and gently buried my nose in the warmth richness of her hair that awakened my senses and my appetite. Goldieβs hair smelled like raspberries and champagne.
βI donβt know what you bathe in,β I said with my mouth pressed against the tender nape of her neck and my hand still wrapped around her wrist, pinning her to the blanket. βBut I want to immerse myself in you.β
I didnβt even think before I spoke, and suddenly I wished I hadnβt. I closed my eyes tightly. But then she stirred beside me.
βIf you like how I smell, imagine how I taste.β
I think I stopped breathing. Game on.
I slowly made my way to the opening of her silky pajamas. She arched toward me, and her cleavage sprang my cock to life. My mouth didnβt wait to see if it could unbutton the top button. I held her wrist with one hand and tried to unbutton her top with the other, but the buttons were small and my coordination with one hand wasnβt that great. I started to let go of her wrist when she shook her head.
βNo,β she said. βRip it.β
