Just Bearly in Time — Alexis Dare

From Bestselling author, Alexis Dare...Fate just walked into her life and he's tall, hunky, & bear.Drake's bear is restless. Men in his clan who don't find their mate by their early thirties have a tendency to go insane, and Drake fears he is headed in that direction. However, an accident on a lonely, snow covered, mountain road could ultimately lead to his salvation.Molly is fed up with men. Having her heart broken one too many times has led to the writer's block from hell. Hoping to jump-start her muse, she heads to her agent's cabin on Cold Creek Mountain. After an accident leaves her stranded and her life in jeopardy, she comes face to face with a huge bear.Is it Drake coming to rescue not only her life, but her heart? And can he save her when a danger close to home threatens to tear them apart?***Alone at last, he growled, his eyes raking up and down her body as if he was undressing her in his mind.Not for long, she muttered.She attempted to duck under his massive arm, which stretched across to where his palm was placed flat against the wall. With ease, he brought his arm down and encircled her body, smashing her against him.Let me go!He ignored her and bent his head toward hers to inhale deeply.You smell good enough to eat.She could hear the leer in his voice and understood the hidden meaning of his words.In your dreams, she snarled.Little lady, it's going to happen outside of my dreams.Molly pushed against him, straining to get free, but she was no match for his brute strength.No it won't.The voice that spoke from behind them rolled out so low and menacing that Molly almost didn't recognize it as Drake's.Let her go, Sloan.Molly held her breath when she felt Sloan's bulging muscles tense beneath her.Maybe I don't want to.Sloan.The name drawled out in a threatening growl.I've got as much right to her as you do.What in the world was Sloan thinking? Ever since she'd met him, he'd come across as the caveman type. He acted like he could just hit a woman over the head and drag her home in order to make her his. Didn't he realize the world hadn't worked that way for thousands of years?No one has a right to me. I'm not property that can just be claimed. I choose who I'm with.That's not how it works here.What in the hell was he talking about?Yes, it is Sloan. You knew the rules when you decided to stay after Jacob was gone. Let her go.Molly recognized Harrison's voice, even though she couldn't see him past Sloan's massive chest.Rules? What rules?It was true that he was their boss at work, and they were in his home, but would Sloan listen to the younger man? And who was Jacob?This isn't over, little lady, he murmured in her hair.He dropped his arm to his side, and Molly stepped back, grateful to be no longer pressed against the brute. Harrison and Drake moved out of the hallway in order to allow Sloan to pass.Are you okay? Drake asked once Sloan had lumbered away.Yes, I'm fine.Did he hurt you?Molly shook her head.
