New Bear Jitters || Josh & Mel

This was something he could handle, something Joshua could actually fix. In a way, Mel’s issue of shifting excited him because finally there was a problem with a solution. She just needed to be trained. It would take time, but it would be easier than finding a hunter or helping Evie after her traumatic experience. Josh knew first hand both of those tasked took time and so much patience. He was out in the back yard when he smelled the new delta entering his property. The alpha smiled, moving around to the front of his house to greet her.

A Little Help from our Friends || Josh & Evie

There were times Josh wished he could just be a bear in the wilderness, roaming free, occasionally mating, where the only thing he really cared about was getting enough fish in his belly before winter. It was a simple life, one his inner bear yearned for. However, Joshua knew he was needed here, for whatever reason. For the sleuth, for Jasmine, for anyone who needed his aid. And for the time being it appeared the sleuth needed him quite a bit. Josh had just finished checking on the lasagna in the oven when his doorbell rang. He was glad Evie had agreed to meet with him, it was rather necessary after the stories he’d heard from Jasmine. "Come on in" He yelled loud enough for her to hear him.

“ If you’re nice we just might,” Jasmine teased before her lips found Josh’s again. She did have to admit that she wanted to continue kissing him, but this really wasn’t the time for it. The rest of the sleuth would be arriving and the cubs needed her complete focus. Jasmine rolled her eyes at Josh for his comment. It was a joke, but there was some truth behind it. Being in the state they were in plus the full moon was making for an interesting combination for the night. Who knew what would happen.  " I was wondering how you ever behaved yourself in the first place.“

Taking her cue off of Josh, Jasmine started to undress as well. This was the first time they would be stripping down like this since their friendship started to slide into something else. For some reason it felt different now. Once out of her clothes, Jasmine pulled her bra and underwear off before looking up at Josh. The pair were standing naked in his backyard alone and there was some obvious tension between them. Jasmine couldn’t turn her head away though. It wasn’t like her to do that. 

"Nice… I’m always nice.” Josh’s eyes didn’t leave Jasmine’s body as she undressed. He’d seen her naked a million times before, but this felt a bit different. Like it should, obviously. There was a new intimacy seeping into this moment, taking over what used to be such a mundane task and creating a huge ball of tension that sat between them like a heavy stone. 

They both paused, feet away from each other, simply taking in the sight before them. There were two trains of thought in Josh’s mind. One wanted to throw Jasmine into the grass, forgetting everything else around them, while the other knew he should act like an alpha, behave himself in front of the other bears that would arrive any minute. Lucky for his first train of thought, no one was here yet, minus the cubs who were currently rolling around, too involved in fighting each other to even notice the two adult bears. 

Josh took a few tentative steps towards Jasmine, seeing if she’d stop him, if she’d move away. He needed to feel her skin against his, even if just for a moment before it was interrupted by others.
