Blurb:
Jarrod has become obsessed with finding Caleb, the
white-haired bear who rescued him from freezing to death in a blizzard the
previous winter. After their night of
passion, Jarrod realizes his body is changing.
He is becoming larger, more muscular and hairier so he wants to find
Caleb to find out what’s happening to him.
Jarrod searches the forest where he encountered Caleb but
instead finds Logan, and almost loses his life.
Caleb rescues him and tells Jarrod he is becoming a bear, a real bear,
to be a guardian of the forest. But to
complete the transformation, he must obtain the seed of the other bears in the
forest. Gareth, a ginger-haired man,
and Tyrone, a black man, are cooperative but Logan remains hostile.
Jarrod wants to complete the transformation so he will be
with Caleb forever but Logan’s jealousy just might lead to his death.
Excerpt:
The white bear hadn’t changed at all
since their brief meeting so many months ago.
If anything he looked larger. His
bare torso maintained its muscularity and thin covering of hair, which had
turned mostly white. The pajama bottoms
he wore low on his hips seemed to be held up only by the curve of his ass and
did little to cover the bulge in the front.
“Eyes up here,” Caleb said making
Jarrod realize he had been staring. He
held out his hand and Jarrod took it, rising to his feet.
Jarrod fell into his arms, kissing
and stroking his body, not wanting to ever let go. He vowed never to fall asleep in Caleb’s
presence again, lest he find himself waking from a dream and alone.
“Why don’t you two take that
indoors?”
Jarrod gasped, spinning around. He forgot they weren’t by themselves. A large black man with a shaved head and full
beard stood with a beefy arm draped over the shoulder of an equally muscular
white man with red hair. The black man
wore only jeans. The ginger-haired man
wore a sleeveless plaid shirt, hanging open to reveal chest and abs covered in
red hair.
“Jarrod, this is Tyrone…”
The black man nodded without
smiling.
“…and Gareth.”
The ginger bear inclined his head
with a pleasant grin. “Nice to meet
you.”
Jarrod suddenly felt vulnerable and
embarrassed, standing naked in front of strangers.
Of
course, nothing could be worse than the compromising position in which they
first saw me, he thought. “Do you
think I could have some clothes, please?”
Gareth and Tyrone laughed while
Caleb slipped off his pajama pants. He
draped the legs over Jarrod’s shoulders and tied them in a loose knot as if
they were a scarf.
“Is that better?” Caleb stood back,
hands on hips in his naked glory.
Jarrod could not help but laugh
himself.
“We’ll catch up with you later,”
Tyrone said as he and Gareth turned and walked into the woods.
Jarrod watched them disappear. He was alone with Caleb, what he had yearned
for but so much had happened in the span of an hour or so, he didn’t know what
to think. Questions raced through his
mind, trying to piece everything together but nothing made sense. Even his first meeting with Caleb wreaked of
fantasy.
“You’re awfully quiet,” Caleb
said. He hooked an arm around Jarrod’s
neck and kissed him on the head.
Jarrod mashed his face against the
hairy chest. Now all of it felt so
natural to him. Standing naked in the
middle of the forest in the rain with his lover. Nothing else seemed to matter.
“You still have a lot of questions,
don’t you?” Caleb’s chest vibrated as he
spoke and Jarrod nodded.
“The best way to describe this is
we’re the guardians of the forest,” Caleb began, leading him into the woods
following a narrow trail.
“Guardians against what?” Jarrod
asked. It sounded even more incredible
and he tried to wrap his mind around the concept.
Caleb shrugged. “Nothing fantastical. Just trespassers, urban encroachment,
anything that can harm the forest.”
“This is a huge forest,” Jarrod
blurted out. “Hundreds of square
miles. Maybe thousands. And just the four of you can protect it?”
“I know it sounds incredible but
when you have the powers of a bear, it’s not such a daunting task as it would
seem.”
“Wait a minute.” Jarrod stopped in
his tracks. “The powers of a bear?”
Caleb smiled at him. “Does that sound so crazy?”
“It sounds impossible!”
