Bared for Her Bear by Jenika Snow Read Free Book Online Page A

A few days had passed
    since Ary had been with Charlie. She hadn’t spoken or seen him, although that wasn’t much of a
    surprise since she didn’t have his number, and hadn’t gone back to the bar.
    “Candace, stop being a damn prude.”
    Candace narrowed her eyes and leaned back in the chair.
    “Ary, you have to tell me all the raunchy details.” Melissa took a large drink of her iced tea
    and seemed to be waiting expectantly.
    When she had called Melissa right after she drove away from Charlie she had quickly hung up.
    No way was she planning on explaining everything while Melissa was naked and in bed with one some
    male. It turned out she hadn’t gone home with one of the Wylde brothers, but instead with a lion
    shifter. It had taken a few days before the three of them could get together, but now Ary was debating
    whether this had been a good idea. But it was too late for any of those doubts because Melissa already
    could tell she’d fucked Charlie, even if Ary hadn’t confirmed anything, and no way in hell would her
    friend let it go. Candace on the other hand was more interested in her phone all of the sudden, and the
    smile on her face led Ary to believe it might have something to do with her coyote shifter.
    “Why don’t we talk about Candace and that coyote she was flirting with at the bar?” Melissa
    turned and looked at Candace. Ary mouthed “I’m sorry” to Candace when her friend pinched her lips
    together and tossed her phone back in her bag.
    “You bitch.” Candace’s words held no heat. She sighed and glanced at Melissa. “First of all,
    Ary , you called us here to talk about your drama. No way in hell are you turning this around on me.”
    She crossed her arms over her chest.
    “Candace is right.” They both glanced at Melissa. “But we will be getting back to you,
    Candace. I’ve been dying to ask you about the waiter with the tight ass anyway.” Candace groaned, but
    didn’t otherwise respond. Both of her friends turned and glared at February. “Well, spill it, girl.”
    Ary rubbed her eyes, finding this so much harder than it actually was. It shouldn’t have been a
    big deal, not when the three of them had talked about sex many times before, but now, telling them
    about Charlie, was a hell of a lot more difficult for some reason.
    “Okay.” Ary inhaled deeply and looked between them. “So, yeah, I slept with Charlie Wylde.”
    Melissa grinned in a way that made her think her friend was silently saying “I told you so.” Ary
    immediately lowered her voice and glanced around. Fortunately, no one paid them any attention.
    “I knew it, you whore.” Melissa’s grinned from ear-to-ear. “You go first.”
    “I go first what?”
    Melissa gave her a bored look. “Pulease! You tell me the dirty details, and then I’ll spill it on
    Nick and the wild freaking sex we had.” Melissa took another drink and said, “I’ll even tell you the
    freaky shit he wanted to do.”
    Ary didn’t bother responding on the whole Nick the lion shifter thing, or question her friend on
    why she hadn’t gone home with Bram, because she had only been on the phone with Melissa for one
    minute, and it had been sixty seconds too long. It seemed like Nick enjoyed talking dirty, or at least
    that was what she had picked up on when she heard him in the background while talking to Melissa.
    “So, yeah, I was with Charlie, and it was incredible, but then…” Melissa and Candace’s eyes
    grew wide and they both leaned in closer. “It broke.” Candace’s brows dipped low, and she glanced at
    Melissa.
    It didn’t take Melissa any time at all to understand what she was talking about. “Oh. My. God.
    Ary, what happened? Was he angry? Did he turn in to the biggest jackass? You know how those bear
    shifters can be, all growly and territorial, like it is the female’s fault everything in the world goes
    wrong.” Melissa waved down the waiter and ordered an oversized margarita. “I’m going to need
